Arabian Automobiles Company, the flagship company of the AW Rostamani Group and the exclusive dealer for Infiniti in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, has welcomed the dynamic Infiniti Q30 across Arabian Automobiles centres. The Infiniti Q30 is a new segment for Infiniti as it ventures into the fast growing segment of premium compact hatch vehicles. The design philosophy with this model represents an important step towards the growth of the brand in this segment.

 

Salah Yamout, Director of Sales and Marketing at Arabian Automobiles Company says, “Arabian Automobiles Company is delighted to be a part of Infiniti’s entry into the premium compact segment. The Infiniti Q30 represents a new era for the brand, with innovation, cutting-edge technology and a dynamic body shape packaged into an all-new driver’s experience. We are extremely pleased to be bringing the stylish Q30 to our customers and convert new buyers into Q30 enthusiasts.”

Design

 

The Q30 revamps Infiniti’s signature design elements into modernized, dynamic shapes. The double-arch grille with 3D mesh, for example, has grown from the Q50, with fluid movement into the headlamps. The bold curves coupled with the lines on the bonnet, make their way over the fenders and across the body line into the shoulder of the car. 

The signature C-pillar arcs forward in a dynamic crescent shape that emphasises motion, even when stationary. The contrast of the long roof-line, develop an image of a shooting brake in silhouette, and elevated stance to add focus on the visual appeal of the car. The balance of sculptural shapes moving past one another creates a harmonious design that can be appreciated at a glance.

The Q30 Premium includes LED front fog lamps, body-coloured and heated door mirrors, as well as chrome dual rectangular exhaust finishers. 18-inch alloy wheels add to the Premium grade’s striking appearance.

Technology

 

On the technology front, the Q30’s Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Intelligent Parking Assist, Forward Collision Warning with Forward Emergency Braking and Blind Sport Warning are just a few more feathers in the cap of technological advancements for the Infiniti premium compact segment.

The Intelligent Parking Assist is designed to work in the three most common parking situations, tight parallel parking, 90 degrees backing-in and heading –in parking. Using 12 sensors in the front and rear, the system automatically steers the vehicle into place with the additional help or audio and visual warnings whilst the driver controls the brake and accelerator.

Performance

 

In terms of performance, the Infiniti Q30 is available with 1.6L or 2.0L Turbo variants in a 2WD configuration. The 2.0L Turbo will also be offered with an optional AWD drivetrain. The 2.0L Turbo engine delivers 208hp and 350Nm torque. When equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the highest-performing engine in the range is capable of powering the Infiniti Q30 from 0-to-100kph in 7.3 seconds.
