I enjoy the auto lights that comes on if it's raining or foggy outside
Hesitates when taking off from a stop. AC filter almost smells like mildew once in awhile after starting it in the beginning. Airbags light comes on sometimes, the car doesn't always ride smooth on long runs. The front seats should be adjustable for small people who do not have very long legs.

Manual is massive and boring, but we didn't need it as everything is automatically done for you.
Ours parks itself longways or sideways, and has too many features to count. If you are too close to something it will warn you in its colour display. Green for close, orange closer, and as you get too close for comfort the warning beeps rapidly increase and it will change to a red warning. Incredibly safety features abound, even makes driving at night a blast as it takes care of so many things for you. In snow and ice it is fun to drive with dual clutches front and back to electronically adjust the rear to front drive balancing for best tire grip. Couldn't resist a little blast around a big empty ice and snow covered car park to test the QX30's incredible traction. The new Infinity VC engine was not available or we would have chosen it, but its Turbo Charged Mercedes engine performs more than capably. Love driving it on winding mountain roads. A terrific car for the serious experienced driver.

Infiniti qx30 sport. Has a lot of the same specs as the Mercedes gla250.
I have only had this car for 5 months so far, so I do not have any cons yet. The vehicle is pretty amazing it drives well esp. On highways (I do a lot of long distance driving for work) and this car definitely is up to task. One thing is you should be prepared for is that it does eat fuel, since it does either come in AWD or sport models. A plus is you can fit a lot in this car even though it is a small crossover. For example: I fit a 7ft house plant (in-potted) with all the seats down, moving totes and my dog in the car for a move. This car is the perfect fit for my family and myself.

Its small size car and easy to maintain.
I love my car because its small size car for a woman, the car has a lot of great features, it is keyless. It's fast and easy to maintain. The inside is all black leather easy to clean. I recommend parents can buy this car kids going off to college. And it is easy to park.

This car is great, but a bit small
Really just a great car overall, engine has a surprisingly quick acceleration, seats are comfortable for long term driving, sound system is stellar. Only complaint is that the back seat is cramped for extended travel. Fuel is premium so average gas station visit costs around $60.

Joy to drive - excells in winter snow.
PROS: Love driving this Turbocharged beast in all weather conditions. Silky smooth impressive acceleration. Wonderful solid feel around tight bends. All the bells and whistles. Simple Automatic parking both roadside and also in car parks, is brilliant for my wifes shoulder mobility issues. Classy interior finish. Lots of admiring questions from car fans. CONS: No powerred tailgate - unless you retro fit one yourself.

The best vehicle you'll ever own.
It is the most amazing vehicle that I have owned. It is fully loaded. Cream leather seats both heated and cooled. It rides like you are on air. I have not had a single problem with my ride. I would recommend this car to anyone who likes a little of the finer things in life.

Do NOT buy or Lease an Infiniti QX30
This is the worst car you can get from Infinity because it is basically a mercedes brand. The biggest thing is the a/c works like the one at home where is shuts off after it reaches the temp you have set.
accountCircle Alexander G
Unfit Infiniti qx30- avoid if you want to drive it.
It is made by Mercedes but branded Infiniti. It is in the shop too often and has had multiple pcv system replacements and fuel pump replacements. It is fun to drive through, handles well and is great in the snow. I also have the panoramic sunroof, but the sunroof does not open.

This car is very bad on gas mileage. My backup camera stays on a lot. And the blue tooth is frustrating. I am disappointed with this vehicle. Every time I take it down to have them check the blue tooth and the camera, they say nothing is wrong.
accountCircle Sam L
Dark colored, powerful, nice, sporty.
Had it for a bit, haven't had any big problems yet. Decently happy with the quality and make for the cost of the vehicle. Decently comfortable, wish it had a backup camera and blind spot warning/detection. Would recommend to others to buy this vehicle.

Infiniti x30 is too tight, too small
It's too suffocating inside. The ceiling feels too low and there isn't enough space in the trunk. It is fairly comfortable to drive and is reliable. It's beautiful on the outside but doesn't have enough room inside. Gas mileage is good. Sound system is terrible.
accountCircle Wally H
Nice exterior but needs more interior room.
It has an attractive exterior. It has comfortable seats. It has a reliable engine and transmission and runs quiet. It is well made and reliable. It get decent gas mileage, but has sufficient performance. It has a small trunk, no spare tire, and could use more leg room in the rear seat.

2018 INFINITI QX30 has a luxurious appearance, but function leaves something to be desired
The QX30 has a luxurious interior and is a comfortable vehicle, but I have experienced some issues with the vehicle. It seems to struggle to shift at times (automatic transmission) and the around-view monitor functionality warns of hazards that are not in the direction of travel (i.e. If the car is in reverse, it warns of a curb in front of the vehicle).

Very fuel efficient car but kind of pricey.
Very nice vehicle, just think the price point should be a little less 4 what you get. It is very great on gas. So that is the best quality. Interior is nice as well. I do not like the stall for fuel saving. So the vehicle jerks a lot. If I could do over I would have kept my q50 over the qx30. Just my opinion.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Andrea Q.

My car has a very Solid Sound system. The inside is beautiful including the sports styled seating. The AC is very effective, often cools or heats very quickly. The headlights have a very elegant design. 2.0 Turbo engine.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Andrea Q.

The inside is a little small and cramped. In the back when I drive people around, people often complain about the size in the back seats. It does not have apple CarPlay. The emergency brake system is not the most accurate at detecting cars in front and will beep randomly.
