OVERVIEW
Infiniti has launched the Q30 in Australia with a three-tier range, three engines, and something that the rest of the Infiniti range lacks: genuine prestige heritage.
How so? Well, the Q30 is built atop the same component set that underpins the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and GLA, thanks to an alliance between Infiniti and the German luxury marque.
