All-new Infiniti Q30 FULL REVIEW test driven Q30S 2.0t & Premium 2.2d - Autogefühl

A very comprehensive review, looks like an awesome car and I love this dude's german/english accent 10/10

[@nassimabed]

I just came back from a visit to the Infiniti showroom in Dubai. I test-drove the 2.0t premium. What a wonderful ride. So comfortable and powerful (in S mode) yet smooth (in E mode). Love the suspensions as I went over speed bumps. The Q30 feels and looks (inside) so different from other Infiniti models.

[@alexandreneto7617]

Thank you for the review. It was excellent. I have just bought a Q30 2.2d and it’s great. Looks beautiful, drives really well and gets lots of heads turning. I use all the drive features: Eco mode mostly, paddle shifting when overtaking, S mode when waiting at a busy roundabout requiring quick acceleration. I actually like the GPS but does take getting used to. I like that’s it’s embedded into the dash. It’s quiet for a diesel with noise cancelling feature and it has enough power for me. I prefer it to the Mercedes A class as I find that car looks like it’s designed for the younger driver where’s the Q30 looks more sophisticated. Great review. Thank you

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep tuning in and enjoy!

[@boubacarthiaw7878]

[@christophernicol4762]

Thanks to you, Thomas, I have just gone out and bought an Infiniti here in Scotland. I love the silent luxury which cocoons you. And the 1.5dCi from Renault has plenty of punch. The whole thing is many grades above the A-class. So, Infiniti: the upmarket Mercedes.

[@robertcrouch7328]

My first look it appears similar to little Lexus NX. Very surprised it's more expensive than similar MB-A class! Surprised that you still have to insert key. I wish manufacturers would use a larger non-Turbo engines like Mazda offers. More and more engines now are Premium fuel required which is more expensive to own. (in US diesels are rare because fuel lis as expensive as Premium petrol and they always sound clackity-clack as if something is loose in the engine! ) How do you rate the dual clutch transmission vs other transmissions- regular and/or dual clutch? I wonder if you can get this serviced at a Mercedes dealership in a pinch! 3 color rims are great. I like the Infotainment display which is housed inside the dash not just stuck onto it. Does the car offer Apple CarPlay integration? Views of the GPS looks very confusing/inaccurate. Rear seats folding to create nearly flat floor is useful. A deeper head to head comparison of this with an A Class would be interesting, they should offer a Thomas' voice option for GPS! Interior styling is a little fancier than the usual stark German designs. All the new front,side,and rear warnings systems play havoc with my radar detector! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3OthaOZd7x8bKc

[@petejr7583]

Nice job Thomas! I'm looking forward to a comparison test. For those that say the exterior looks like or copies the Mazda, I disagree! Mazda has had goofy smile design language for awhile though they have toned it down. Infinity has had this "puckered" or "sea creature" front end design for years in their products, and the heavily sculpted organic contours along the sides and hood for about a decade, though exaggerated here. Mazda's do not have such deep/3 dimensional contours. Mazda 3's also do not have this classic French rear window design (Citroen DS) borrowed by many French hatches over the decades. This design cue seems appropriate, as a nod to Nissan's partnership with Renault. I've not usually been a fan of the overly organic/feminine Infinity designs themes, but I find the overall execution attractive here. I like the interior design visual and apparent quality of the materials. The alcantara on the dash reminds of more exotic applications. Well done Infinity!

[@autogefuehl]

Thx for the feedback m8

[@asiffarooqui6789]

[@djoetma]

Great item. Really liked the concept, about a car with an interesting story. Sparked an interesting conversation here. Pity about the software. I don't understand how this is so hard to get right since on phones it works so well. But apparently there's something I'm missing here since it's the case in so many other car systems.

[@nassimabed]

I bought it. The 2.0t petrol. It is sublime. The E mode is so smooth and comfortable, the S mode very energetic. E mode you can still press on and rev up. S mode is a real pleasure on the highway but too much high rpm at low speed. I really like this car.

Thank you, Thomas. Nicely styled automobile. The swoosh/bend at the C-pillar is the only design element I have trouble with.

[@austoncarr314]

I hope they have a vqv6 Engine available

[@gbriank1]

great review! the sculpted design reminds me of Mazda. If memory serves, a majority of the car is based on the A-Classe Mercedes Benz. At this price point, full power driver and passenger seats should be standard. The A-Classe isn't sold in America (yet), I think it will sell well. As for Europe, I'd be interested to see how it compares to the A. Infiniti has a limited network in Europe compared to Mercedes.

[@autogefuehl]

Interesting aspect, so far mb only sells cla so q30 will be kinda standalone

[@stereoplein]

helo , i have a question ,is there any difference with the first q30 that you drive and the other with the screen one is bigger than the other it seems.

[@WynterK]

I'm not a big fan of hatches but this car looks amazing. It does look a lot like a mazda 3 but then again that's also a car that is good looking. This car is stunning. Will it be available in the USA?

As always Thomas, an excellent review and jam-packed with useful background information. For my personal taste, this car looks as though it took a savage beating with an "ugly stick", similarly to that other hideously butt-ugly Nissan Juke.

[@derbigpr500]

I really don't like the interior. Honestly, if it didn't have an Infinity badge on the steering, I'd guess it was some Chinese company that tried to rip off a Mercedes A class. I know they share a lot of parts, but it just looks like they tried too hard to hide it, and then ended up with an interior that is totally aesthetically wrong. It looks like parts of it come from various cars, they don't blend together nicely, etc. The central console part with radio controls is especially badly designed. Materials and quality look good from the video, but the design, nah, it's a mess honestly, for someone who likes elegant, minimalist and modern design, this would be a nightmare.

[@DrBrainrape]

This car wasn't built for people who are looking for minimalistic design , it's complex and design was meant to evoke an emotion, I guess the design

I think the design is overly complicated. You can see it at 3:28, it's like they didn't find any more space to put curves and complications. Too much attention seeking for my taste. Also, I believe that this videos are getting too long. On the BMW 6 I got a little bored while you where driving. 30 to 40 minutes is the sweet spot in my taste.

[@autogefuehl]

***** tahnks for your answer. I guess this is going to be a controversial issue. Some people will want it longer and some people shorter.
