Future models - Infiniti - QX30Geneva show: Infiniti QX30 SUV teasedInfiniti's new Benz-based QX30 small SUV to debut at Geneva6 Feb 2015 By TUNG NGUYEN INFINITI'S Mercedes-Benz-based QX30 compact SUV concept has been teased ahead of its international debut on March 3 at the Geneva motor show and it could eventually make its way to Australia. The shadowy image only reveals a partially lit rear end, but styling of Infiniti's newest model is expected to be similar to the coupe-like Q30 hatchback revealed during the 2013 Frankfurt motor show. According to Infiniti, the QX30 will combine the “sleek lines of a coupe with the rugged looks and commanding seating position of a crossover.” Speaking with GoAuto, Infiniti cars Australia general manger of corporate communications Peter Fadeyev confirmed the similarities between the two concept models and expressed interest in bringing the car to Australia. “We don't have full details as yet, but it [QX30] would be closely related to the Q30 concept that was shown at the last Frankfurt motor show,” he said. “If it were confirmed for production and made available to Australia, we would like to include it in our model line-up.” Infiniti is hoping to catch the attention of a new generation of buyer, with the Nissan-owned brand saying in a statement that the QX30 concept will suit buyers with a need for both inner-city and cross-country driving. Both the QX30 SUV and Q30 hatchback are based on the Mercedes-Benz MFA platform, which also underpins the A-Class small car, CLA-Class sedan and GLA-Class small SUV. Similar in size to Mercedes' GLA, the QX30 could potentially share some components as well as powertrains with its donor car. Engines in Benz's small-car range include a 100kW/300Nm 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, a 155kW/350Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit and it tops out with AMG's 265kW/450Nm 2.0-litre unit. Expect the Infiniti QX30 to push the boundaries with the styling of the concept, with the car-maker promising a “distinctive approach to design that looks beyond the practicality and conformity expected of the segment.” Read more12th of September 2013 Infiniti compact SUV confirmedYouth-baiting QX30 will join Infiniti’s core line-up – but up to three years awayAll future modelsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chery Brabham Chrysler Chevrolet Cupra Citroen DS Dodge Fiat Ferrari Foton Ford Great Wall FPV Haval GWM Honda Holden Hummer HSV Infiniti Hyundai Jaguar Isuzu Kia Jeep Land Rover Lamborghini Lexus LDV Mahindra Lotus Mazda Maserati Mercedes-AMG McLaren MG Mercedes-Benz Mitsubishi Mini Opel Nissan Peugeot Pagani Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen QX30 pricing
