Infiniti chose the Big Apple to show us its QX30 Concept, which had already been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. It served as a reminder to us North Americans that the brand is about to bring out a new compact luxury SUV next year. Set to go toe-to-toe with the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Lexus NX, the production-ready QX30 should logically keep the aggressive look of the QX30 Concept. The drivetrain will consist of a turbocharged 2-litre and a seven-speed automatic gearbox.

Comparisons with the Mercedes-Benz GLA will be inevitable, since the Q30 and QX30 from Infiniti will share their engines, transmissions and chassis with the Germanic crossover thanks to a partnership between Daimler and Renault-Nissan.
