Infiniti Q30 Concept Makes LA Auto Show Debut

Originally making its world premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Infiniti Q30 concept has made its North American debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show.

A preview of the future of Infiniti, the Q30 compact is looking to appeal to younger buyers much like Mercedes has done with the new CLA-Class models. The Japanese automaker reaffirmed that the Q30 isn’t a coupe, nor a hatchback or a crossover. What it does have is the design and sportiness of a coupe, the roominess of a hatch and the higher stance of a crossover.

One thing is for sure, the Infiniti Q30 looked right at home in Los Angeles, where the CLA has already been a huge hit on the roadways. As a design precursor for Infiniti’s future compact premium model, the Q30 will ultimately make it into production in the future, though it’s unknown how much it’ll change from concept form.
