Infiniti Q30


The Infiniti Q30 is a subcompact executive car built and sold by Nissan's Infiniti luxury brand between 2016 and 2019. The Q30 is built on the third-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class platform to create a small, premium hatchback. The Q30 is a result of the Nissan, Renault and Mercedes partnership agreement to share technology.

A modified version was also marketed under the name QX30, which offers higher ground clearance and crossover design attributes in order to be marketed as a crossover.
