The $48,900 QX30 GT is the entry-level small high-riding crossover for Infinti, and it sits below the range-topping QX30 Premium, which retails for $56,900 before on-road costs.

The QX30 GT comes with cloth trim, LED headlights, Brembo brakes with sliding calipers and rear parking sensors. It misses out on a rear view camera, however.

The UK-built QX30 comes with a Mercedes-Benz sourced 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine that makes 155kW and 350Nm. It’s teamed with a seven-speed DSG.

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.
