5 reasons to buy the 2019 Infiniti QX30

1. Fast acceleration and amazing handling 

The 2019 Infiniti QX30 is a great vehicle to drive. It’s nimble, athletic, and handles well. Precise steering and balanced handling are perhaps the most notable characteristics describing the driving experience of the 2019 Infiniti QX30. This subcompact SUV accelerates quickly, going from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds with the base turbocharged, 2.0L four-cylinder engine. The responsiveness is high, without requiring too much effort to maneuver. It also allows you to get in and out of corners with confidence, thanks to the minimal body roll. 

2. Opulent interior 

The design and layout of the 2019 Infiniti QX30’s interior leaves nothing to be desired. It’s a refined cabin with upscale materials and hand-crafted details that shout luxury. It comes with cloth upholstery, along with a beautiful wood trim. Eight-way adjustable front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are also standard. 

3. Infotainment technology 

To further improve the ride experience, the 2019 Infiniti QX30 is equipped with more than a few tech features in the connectivity and entertainment department. It comes with Infiniti’s InTouch® infotainment system that includes a standard seven-inch touchscreen. Bluetooth®connectivity, voice recognition, a six-speaker audio system, and satellite radio are also standard. 

4. Standard driver aids 

The 2019 Infiniti QX30 received a couple of upgrades over its predecessors when it comes to driver-assistance technology. It now comes standard with a couple of systems that are primarily focused on preventing an imminent collision. There's forward-collision warning, which alerts you of an impending collision to support your awareness on the road. You also get automated emergency braking, activating the brakes if you fail to react after the collision warning system issues its alerts. 

5. Passenger and cargo room 

In terms of utility and function, the 2019 Infiniti QX30 is a convenient solution, with a roomy cabin and decent cargo space. It can seat five, with front passengers getting 38.4 inches of headroom and 41.3 inches of legroom, while those sitting in the back get 37.5 inches of headroom and 33.5 inches of legroom. Cargo space comes in the form of a 19.2-cu-ft trunk, and a total volume of 34 cu-ft with the rear seats folded down.
