英菲尼迪近日在洛杉矶车展发布了QX30量产版。QX30基本上可以视作是重新贴牌的奔驰GLA，就像Q30基于奔驰A级车一样。它的很多外观设计，包括塑料车身防擦条，车顶行李架，都与Q30共享。另外，它的整体外观非常突出运动感，与QX30概念版车型非常接近。车厢内设计类似Q30掀背车，很多细节也类似奔驰GLA，虽然这不能说是一个不好的做法，但对于希望能看到QX30与奔驰GLA有更多不同的消费者而言则至少有些令人失望。虽然英菲尼迪不愿透露该车更多技术细节，但表示，这款车提供了全驱系统，可将至少一半动力传递至后轮以确保更优异的牵引力。很明显，这款车采用了奔驰的4MATIC系统并搭配带手动模式的双离合器变速箱。至于动力系统，QX30预计与Q30共享，包括一台1.6升涡轮引擎，功率90千瓦/122马力和115千瓦/156马力，更大的2.0升涡轮引擎，功率155千瓦/211马力。柴油引擎包括1.5升引擎，功率80千瓦/109马力；2.2升引擎，功率125千瓦/170马力。某些引擎可提供六速手动变速器。QX30将在英国桑德兰工厂投产，随后将于明年中期上市。
Infiniti QX30 arrives in LA looking exactly as you would expect
Infiniti has finally introduced the production-ready QX30 small crossover at the ongoing 2015 LA Auto Show.
The QX30 is essentially a rebadged version of the Mercedes-Benz GLA, just like the Q30 is an A-Class with a different logo. The car’s exterior design can be best described as a Q30 on stilts with plastic body cladding and roof rails. There aren’t any surprises in terms of aesthetics as it looks pretty much the same as the QX30 concept introduced back in March at the Geneva Motor Show.
The interior cabin closely mirrors its hatchback sibling and as you can see many of the bits and pieces have Mercedes-Benz written all over them. The end result is not half bad, but we are sure many would have wanted to see a bit more variation to set the two cars apart a little bit. That being said, it does look like a premium product on the inside and will be a viable alternative to the GLA.
Infiniti is keeping the technical specs shrouded in mystery, but they do say it will boast a clever all-wheel drive system capable of sending up to half of the engine’s power to the rear wheels to ensure optimal traction. It’s obviously the 4MATIC hardware taken from its three-pointed star sibling and will work with a dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox featuring a manual mode.
Details about what will power the Infiniti QX30 have not been disclosed so far, but it’s safe to assume it will have the same motors as the Q30. As a consequence, expect to find a 1.6-liter turbo with 122 PS (90 kW) & 156 PS (115 kW) and a larger 2.0-liter turbo rated at 211 PS (155 kW). On the diesel side, there will be a 1.5-liter with 109 PS (80 kW) and a 2.2-liter pushing out 170 PS (125 kW). Some of these engines will likely be offered with a six-speed manual transmission as well. Needless to say, engine and gearbox availability will depend on market.
The Sunderland-built QX30 is slated to go on sale in the middle of 2016 following its simultaneous world premiere this week in LA and at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China.
