5 reasons to buy the 2017 Infiniti QX30

1. Athletic performance 

The 2017 Infiniti QX30 offers an exciting driving experience thanks to vigorous engines and agile handling, among other factors. The base engine is a strong, 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. It’s coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This is an excellent powertrain that can impress car enthusiasts, providing quick acceleration and lots of strength and poise even on challenging roads, including step hills or extremely tight corners. With this setup, the 2017 Infiniti QX30 goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. 

2. Spacious interior 

There is room for five inside the 2017 Infiniti QX30, with all the conditions for a comfortable ride for all passengers. The seats are wide and supportive, and even three adult passengers won’t feel cramped in the back. Front-row headroom measures 38.4 inches, with 41.3 inches of legroom, whereas rear passengers get 37.5 inches of headroom and 33.5 inches of legroom. 

3. Standard connectivity tech features 

The 2017 Infiniti QX30 is equipped with a series of features for an enhanced ride experience, especially in terms of entertainment and connectivity. It comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system that’s easy to use and includes Bluetooth® connectivity. In addition, you get standard HD Radio, satellite radio, and a six-speaker audio system. 

4. Ample room for cargo 

As far as cargo is concerned, there is plenty of room for it in the 2017 Infiniti QX30. It comes with a 19.2-cu-ft trunk, which will allow you to fit a couple of medium-sized suitcases along with a carry-on bag or two. The opening is wide, which along with the boxy shape of the cargo area allows for easy loading and unloading. 

5.  Good mileage 

Fuel consumption is an important factor when choosing a daily driver that you will most likely use on city streets often. This is another area where the 2017 Infiniti QX30 is up to par. The 2.0L engine gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined.

By most standards, this is a good figure for a luxury SUV of its size, also considering the powerful engine and the high performance it delivers.
