Are you in the market for a new crossover SUV? There is no shortage of options available to you, and many makes and models offer appealing features and bold styles. However, only one model won the award from the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA) for being the best SUV/crossover. This star car was the Infiniti QX30.
To understand what an honor this is, you must learn about the prestige that belongs to the GAAMA. While the word “Atlanta” might make you think that the GAAMA only matters in the South, that isn’t true. In fact, an Australian website even mentioned the honor the QX30 received at the recent Atlanta International Auto Show. There were more than 400 cars at the show, each of them under the careful scrutiny of automotive experts. The QX30 proved to be the true champion of its class.
What makes the QX30 so special?
An Opulent Interior
From the moment you open the door of the QX30, you’ll be struck by its elegant interior design. Gorgeous asymmetric lines mesmerize the eye, and top-notch materials invite you to climb in and relax. The seats are supple Napa leather, and the dash also boasts this same luxurious material.
Other surfaces feature a material called Dinamica, which mimics the look and feel of suede. Infiniti tested this material with hundreds of people to make sure it is pleasing to the touch. Four different interior color schemes are available, ranging from daring black to welcoming white. Ergonomically designed seats enhance the driving experience.
A Dashing Exterior
Infiniti is known for its sporty exterior designs, and the QX30 is no exception. It is big enough for your whole family and your cargo, but it still manages to call sports cars and racing to mind. The aerodynamic design, complete with exclusive 19-inch sport wheels, will leave everyone in your neighborhood jealous even before you start telling them about this crossover’s other impressive features.
A Sporty Performance
Of course, looks alone aren’t enough for a vehicle to earn an award from the GAAMA. The QX30 has a 2.0-liter turbo engine that comes with more than 200 horsepower. That, combined with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a drive mode selector, will make the QX30’s drivers feel like they truly rule the road.
Other performance-pumping features include sport suspension, nimble handling, and intelligent power steering that is more sensitive at lower speeds and less sensitive at higher speeds.
Another notable aspect of the QX30’s performance is its available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The AWD delivers half of the power to the rear wheels only when driving conditions require it. Otherwise, the control remains in the front wheels. This increases the vehicle’s fuel efficiency while still delivering the control you need on slippery surfaces.
Sophisticated Technology
As you would expect from Infiniti, the QX30 comes loaded with a bushel of tech features, foremost of which is the Infiniti InTouch system, which allows you to look at emails, text messages, and your calendar — all from the vehicle’s touchscreen. You can also use voice controls or the Infiniti Controller. InTouch also comes with navigation so you’ll never get lost when you head out for your annual family vacation.
A Bose audio system will keep you entertained even on those days when you head to Miami and have to deal with traffic that never seems to end.
The QX30’s technology makes the driving experience safer and smarter. Twelve sensors around the car can let you know if that parking space you’re eyeing is big enough for your four-wheeled baby. The QX30 can even parallel park itself.
Do you have trouble remembering to turn your high-beams off when there is oncoming traffic? The QX30 will take care of that for you.
The above features are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the QX30’s unbeatable technology offerings.
Spoiled for Choice
There are three different QX30s from which you can choose:
- QX30. No one would ever call an Infiniti “basic,” but the regular QX30 is as basic as this luxury vehicle comes.
- QX30 S. The S version has a lower stance and a more aggressive fascia on both the front and back. It looks even sportier than the standard QX30.
- QX30 AWD. This version has Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It sits a little higher than its counterparts and is better equipped for rural roads.
The QX30 will hit dealerships later this year. When you test drive it at Sawgrass Infiniti, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
