The 2017 Infiniti QX30 AWD is an agile and stylish compact crossover SUV. Nissan is aiming to capture the hearts and minds of the younger generation, offering a luxurious vehicle that is designed to meet the adventures of their everyday lives, with a very affordable price.

The new Infinity QX30 AWD is a partial Mercedes Benz. It chassis, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that offers performance and efficiency, all came from the Benz's GLA-class crossover series, Car and Driver reported.

However, Infinity dressed it up with its own unique double-arch grille, bold and strong body works, complete with sculpted lines that stretch around and complement its aggressive looks. Additionally, 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels will make it a sweet companion during the office days and a warrior during the weekends. Aside from the looks, the bigger wheels will have better handling, aside from giving a more comfortable ride.

The interior reflects the high-quality touch that one will expect from Infinity. The seats and dash are covered with the available Nappa leather, which is known for its softness. A material called Dinamica, that looks and feel like suede, covers the headliner and front pillars. Other premium materials were also used to emphasize the luxury that one will get from the brand.

The 2017 Infiniti QX30 AWD is also equipped with an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive Intuitive Traction system that automatically adjusts the power being sent by the engine down to the rear wheels. This will assist in road conditions where traction and control are a little bit out of control. When everything is normal, 100 percent of the power is channeled through the front wheel for better fuel efficiency.

Additionally, Infinity also knows how important it is to be connected to the outside world, and with its Infiniti InTouch, it will let its occupants be able to access their text and email messages, calendar, music and, of course, navigation.

The 2017 Infiniti QX30 AWD is expected to go on sale this coming August, and will start at US$35,350. Front-wheel drive models starts at US$30,900. For those planning to put everything on it, its price may reach up to US$43,700.
