With the Q30 hatchback, Infiniti has a true rival for the likes of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class complete with the firm’s quirky design language and technical know-how.

The car has only been on sale for about six months, but if it proves popular enough, a saloon variant could be considered. Both the US and China are game for this particular segment, and we venture that if the Japanese gave it the thumbs-up it would look something akig to what Theophilus Chin has rolled out.

A Q30 Sedan would directly target the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA and could prove quite popular in the world’s two biggest car markets. When you combine the concept-car looks with the proven chassis of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and increased cabin space, Infiniti should have a winner on their hands.

Want to take the fight to the Germans? With such a solid base to build upon and a niche that’s craving for attention, a Q30 Sedan would fit in Infiniti’s expanding range nicely.
