The $44,900 Q30 Sport is the mid-level small crossover for Infinti. It sits above the entry-level $38,900 GT and below the range-topping Sport Premium, which retails for $52,900 before on-road costs.
The Q30 Sport comes with a sports bodykit, 19-inch rims, leather-appointed trim, LED headlights, automatic emergency braking and a speed sign-sensing camera.
The UK-built Q30 comes with a Mercedes-Benz sourced 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine that makes 155kW and 350Nm. It’s also available with a 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel that makes 125kW and 350Nm and returns 5.2 litres per 100km on the combined cycle for $2000 extra. Both engines are teamed with a seven-speed DSG.

Contributing Journalist
Tim Robson has been involved in automotive journalism for almost two decades, after cutting his teeth on alternative forms of wheeled transport.
Studiously avoiding tertiary education while writing about mountain bikes in the 1990s, Tim started with Motor magazine in 2001, moving on to edit Auto Action and Motor before joining Top Gear Australia in 2010.
Tim formed his own company, 032Media, in 2014, building up a freelance business that supplies leading news outlets like CarsGuide and GoAuto, as well as Evo Australia, Motor, 4x4 Australia and The Robb Report. He's also a skilled photographer, practicing videographer, presenter and editor.
He’s also recently returned to his roots, currently editing Australia's oldest and most prestigious mountain bike magazine, Mountain Biking Australia.
Tim lives in Wollongong, NSW, and is married with three double-digit age kids… two of who are learning to drive. One’s already learned to race, with 16-year-old Max helping Tim to build and run his only car – a track-registered Honda Civic EG.
