  • Infiniti Q30 vs MINI Clubman vs Volvo V40 - group test

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">All-new Q30 is aiming to raise Infiniti’s profile, putting it on Lexus’ level, but how will it fare against the MINI Clubman and Volvo V40?</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - front

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">&nbsp;</span></p>

  • MINI Clubman - front

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The second-generation MINI Clubman is bigger than the original car, and now features four passenger doors to go with its barn door-style tailgate</span></p>

  • Volvo V40 - front

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Volvo V40 has always been an intriguing alternative in the compact executive hatch class, thanks to its unique design, comfortable cabin and raft of safety kit</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - front cornering

    <p class="p1">We managed to get the Q30 from 0-60mph in 11.4 seconds, which&nbsp;was six-tenths faster than Infiniti’s claimed 0-62mph time</p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - rear

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Infiniti Q30 is referred to as a Premium Active Compact by the luxury brand, but it’s essentially an executive hatchback&nbsp;</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - dash

    <p class="p1">The interior of the Infiniti Q30 has a mix of parts from other models, including a Nissan sat-nav and a Mercedes A-Class trip computer</p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - rear cornering

    The rear end styling gives the Infiniti Q30 a relatively high load lip, but there’s 430 litres of boot space on offer

  • Infiniti Q30 - front static

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Infiniti’s dealer network is tiny, with only 12 sites across the country, including just one in Scotland</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - rear seats

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Access to the back seats is reasonable in the Infiniti Q30, and while headroom is good, the large front seats do eat into legroom a little</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - boot

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Useful features in the Infiniti Q30 include two moulded bag hooks, 60:40 split folding seats and a ski hatch. Fold the back seats, and there’s 1,223 litres of room</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - part document

    In an effort to get the Infiniti Q30 to market faster, it&nbsp;has taken parts from different sources, including&nbsp;a platform derived from the Mercedes A-Class, and engines developed by Mercedes, Renault and Nissan

  • Infiniti Q30 - reversing camera

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The optional sat-nav is the same as in other Nissan and Infiniti models, and isn’t as clear as many of its rivals</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - dials

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Infiniti Q30's dials and central trip computer are taken directly from the Mercedes A-Class, as are the steering wheel and window switches</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - front light detail

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The Infiniti Q30's LED headlights are accompanied by distinctive daytime running lights&nbsp;</span></p>

  • Infiniti Q30 - wheel detail

    <p class="p1"><span class="s1">As the Infiniti Q30 uses proven parts from Nissan, Renault and Mercedes, it’s unlikely to suffer any major mechanical defects</span></p>
