Infiniti has upgraded the specifications of both the Q30 and QX30 for 2018 along with the introduction of a new grading structure, featuring the names of Pure, Luxe and Sport.

The entry grade Pure (previously SE) comes equipped with standard features such as forward collision avoidance, automatic headlamps, LED running lamps, Bluetooth and multi-function leather steering wheel.

Luxe models are more focused on comfort, while Sport models offer a sportier package.

Both grades offer more engine choices, along with InTouch navigation, larger alloy wheels, dual rectangular chrome exhaust finishers and lane departure warning as standard features.

In both cases, a Tech version is available providing DAB radio, adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning. It also has a surround view camera system and auto-parking capability.

Sport versions feature specific bumpers with a diffuser at the back. A 20mm lower ride height features on the 2.0-litre and 2.2d engine versions.

QX30 will only feature in Luxe and Luxe Tech grades but offers design updates, with optional 19-inch five-spokes alloy wheels.  

Both Q30 and QX30 offer a set of connected services, such as InTouch Tracking to track the car in case it was stolen, and My Car Finder to see the whereabouts of the car on a map and provide a route back to its location. 

Prices start at £20,600 for the Q30 1.6t petrol version with the Sport repositioned to offer even better value than before from £26,060.  

The new Q30 and QX30 are available to order now and will be in showrooms as of March 2018.
