  • It looks pretty amazing in the metal

Dislikes

  • Suspension tune is too biased toward comfort

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.
