The more adventurous variant of the Q30 is getting ready for its market launch in Europe.

Infiniti has just announced the UK pricing of the new QX30. It will initially be available in two trim levels and customers will be able to choose any engine they like, as long as it’s the 170hp 2.2-litre diesel coupled to a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox.

The QX30 will enter a segment that’s filled with cars like the Audi Q3 and, of course, the Mercedes GLA that it is based on. Just like the Q30, it shares a lot of components, most notably the platform, with the A-Class and its its derivatives.

Entry-level models will start at £29,490, with the top-spec Premium Tech version priced at £33,370. The first cars are expected to arrive in showrooms in early summer.
