I have 2017 QX30 Premium (level above Luxury but below the sport). I've had this car for 2 and half years as we got it as soon as the Infiniti delear got their hands on one. This car is a BLAST! You can literally throw this car around turns and it will just eat them for days, and it's got some go, too! Raced it with my friends' 350Z, G37, Mustang 5.0, and IS350 F-Sport and it will keep up for its little 2.0L Turbo, you'd be extremely surprised! 0-60 (motor trend estimated 6.2 0-60 but I got 5.8) compared to their cars, I'd pull ahead on most of them but after 80, the little 4 cyl dies down a lil and the bigger engines pull ahead ofc. 30K miles on this lil guy now and I push him hard ona daily basis and no major issues yet, just regular maintenance at Infiniti and hopefully getting a tuning chip and some new wheels as I have the 18 inch wheels upgrading to the 19's. Good video Kyle! Except, since I dont have the Sport model, does it not come with the limiter because I've hit 140 in this car😂
Dude, got myself a sport trim and i totally agree with everything your saying. The car is insane for that price level. I get comments on a daily basic on how attractive the car is, every-time i put someone on the passenger seat, they gasp with the feel of the car. I mean you can feel yourself being pulled back when it accelerates. And regarding acceleration, i bet i can beat most muscle cars and the same level bmw and Mercedes. I tend to use the paddle shifter of i have to race some one off the light, sheesh it doesn’t feel that its 6 sec. I am glad i bought this instead of a 4 series bmw as i was actually going for that car
@@tysondragneel5371 bro I feel the exact same I got one too only thing that’s frustrates me is that there isn’t a lot of info so when I take my car to car meets it’s a lil hard to explain what car is but I love it man it pushes your head all the way back haha
Thanks for putting this review out here Kyle!! I didn't even know this car existed until now. I love how it looks and it seems to be a great value for your money. One thing I noticed is that on start up the engine had an odd sound to me that I didn't necessarily like, however when you stomped on the gas it sounded great from in the cabin and seemed to have plenty of power to "get up and go."
I would pick the Infiniti QX30 over the Mercedes because it has a stylish exterior with fascinating details, use of high-quality interior materials and best to drive although expensive to maintain.
Best analytical car reviewer out there. Just the facts bumper to bumper, you give the best impression of what the car IS, not telling what you want it to be like Top Gear or Grand Tour. Regular Car Reviews gets top pick for best comedy reviews. Lol

Not that you've gone anywhere, I just enjoy your reviews more than any others because of the technical aspect, as well as your attention to exterior details.
For 2k more you can get the 2019 Acura RDX. Much better car and much more room. Styling is just as good if not better. Only way I buy the QX30 would be used. There are some really good used QX30 for under 20K.
I have driven both vehicles at great length and the QX30 is significantly better than the GLA! Unless you get the GLA AMG, the car is cheap crappy plastic and drives like it as well. You don’t even get the shift knob with a GLA unless you get the AMG hahaha. Out of the AWD and the Sport, the latter is the better option.
I have a 2017 QX30 (non S) and I spent $40 on Amazon and just put it in the push button start myself since all of these come with Keyless-Go (same as Mercedes) so you can just stick em in
@Joe Taylor I’m aware of that. But Merc has been using Renault engines in the A class. They seem to not be proud of it, and seem to be concealing that. Neither Nissan nor Mercedes engines sound like that. Sounds like a Megane 2.0 when it shifts at high revs.
@@2W3X4YZ5 the ironic thing is, Renault and Nissan are essentially the same company, being part of the Renault-Nissan- Mitsubishi Alliance. So if it were a Renault engine design that would mean instead of sharing the engine directly from it's partner, Nissan decided to add an unnecessary middle man (Mercedes) so it would be such a stupid business move 😂
M&R Tuning Hyundais Are More reliable than you think, They Have Came A Long Way From Their Crappy 90s Cars, And No Nissans Are Reliable, Because My Dad Had An Altima And Its Engine Died After 1 Year Of Ownership, And He Had A Hyundai Accent And It Lasted 225,000 Miles, A Nissan Cant Even Make 150,000 miles
picked up a 19 LUXE with 19K miles for $19323 OTD (had a trade). 28 mos and 41K miles of warranty left. Can't believe it came with halogen headlights, LOL - already ordered LED bulbs.
You cheap out this is what’s gonna happen but you save a lot tho,me too I could just take the halogen and replace it with hid not from the dealership base qx30
I think I should get it so I can complete my line of discontinued cars or vehicles because obviously my goal is to stay with cars that are discontinued duh
I like this better than the GLA. But I don't like either of them. Mercedes are unreliable and over priced and I'd be worried about the terrible image you have when you own an Infiniti
@@saabkyle04 Infiniti is pretty much leaving Europe in general, while axing the QX30 entirely (and it's assembly plant speaking of which is in England).
the next gen q30/qx30 is going to be a full infiniti without mercedes, so this gen probably and the next gen wont be in eu, shame cause i just bought one but theyre amazing anyway
Owned Infiniti’s last ten years. Have a red sport now so test drove the QX30 for grins waiting on car service the other day. Didn’t care for it. A lot less “sporty” than I expected. And the foot well on passenger side was minuscule. That’s a little picky I know but that’s how horrible it was.
I request you to do a 2019 Lincoln Continental Video ! I really love this video ! You do really fun car videos ! You have a good car review channel too !
I feel the lack of views on the review videos comes down to the type of vehicle being reviewed. I don't seem to see many run of the mill cars on here anymore. Just companies boasting their best model vehicle and that's really it. I liked the older kids with older vehicles and classics. I don't see much of any of the big 3 on here anymore and imo that constitutes the lack of views on the review videos. Just my opinion I'll always be a subscriber love the project cars
ShoppingBunny yea. It is a Mercedes engine. All the Mercedes labels are still on the infiniti's too. Only place you really see infiniti logos on the car are the front and rear emblems.
The Infiniti is much better looking than the GLA
they both I think share the same chassis as Nissan owns 1.55% of Daimler
That first start up sounds like it's broken lmao
🤣🤣
It also looked like it was running warm
Well it is a Renault engine after all from a Mercedes GLA
My c class sounds like its broken too. But this is normal
+TheMadPotato Well, it's no Lexus, so don't expect to much. 🤣
Engineer: How quick should our ignition be?
Infiniti CEO: Yes
Lmao
Funny because this car is pretty much a rebadged Mercedes

It's a first generation Mercedes-Benz GLA underneath, similar to the Chrysler Crossfire having an R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK underneath.
These reviews are always so satisfying to watch
Would definitely have this over the Mercedes, doesn’t look like you’re trying to show off as much.
Debatable. Be forewarned that you're buying a piece of junk...
@Jastine2320 No I don't have the Infiniti but from what I have heard I would never recommend it.
I haven't watched your videos in a long while and i feel like your reviews have improved. I like how you're doing it now. Good work!

I have a 2016 in brown with the 2.2 diesel with AWD and every option, I really like this car. It‘s a great dailydriver. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
no you don't they launched it in 2017
Those roads you were driving on look ideal for car reviews. Almost felt like I was driving. ☺️

@@EARTHSOUL_Asmbrooo I'm getting one next week I will update you if you reply this
@@terrorking6191 yes please let me know I currently have a Honda civic hatch 2020 looking for something more luxurious lol
I just got mine a few days ago & I am IN LOVE. Great Review ❤
anybody notice that it had a mercedes chime and a mercedes benz speedometer in the middle
Because half of it is a mercedes. The rest is the design
REXY PASTRANA on god they copied from Mercedes speedometer and start up
@@omriaame6250 They did not copy, they bought it from them.
Omrian Vlog Mercedes and Infiniti partnered to make this car so it has parts from Mercedes
6:13
Why is he using a stick to hold the hood up? 😮
@9:42 The temperature gauge is way passed the halfway point. Running a little hot.
Francobnyc qx30s run hot af
Throughout the 2 years of ownership, mine sits at that temp all the time when warm
all Mercedes sit at that temp
@@bynjei2530
The most in depth reviews BY FAR! GREAT, to have you back Kyle!
Not that you've gone anywhere, I just enjoy your reviews more than any others because of the technical aspect, as well as your attention to exterior details.
Wow great review I miss these reviews. Keep them coming
Why does the temp gauge make it look like its running hot? Is it just bad design or is it actually running hot?
4:15 Are you a robot?
Nah. He used some Autotune 😂
Put a 1 inch lift kit and AWD on a hatchback and it’s now a crossover.
You can buy a good used example of these now for around 25k.
It's sad that this is the last year of the qx30
GTS Elevators no because Mercedes built this
Can you review the 2019/2020 ford f250 limited pls? Thanks
Or just Ford's in general
@@mikewill3176 Yes!
Not if you say "pls". *disgusting*

Can you do POV drives
Tristin Stephens highly recommend Winding Road Magazine 🙂
I can find one with 6k miles or get a brand new Mazda cx30… any opinion on that?
Great reviews as always kyle
I have noticed shifting lurch in the QX30 that I drive on occasion.
Normal/standard behavior for a dual clutch transmission.
That's what I was thinking at the time.
Good review and test drive as always!
The Infiniti looks cool and practical!
Reminds me a lot of my first car the G20
I need Toyota Camry 2018/2019 startup
How don't know every detail about ever car you review? I'm kinda curious.
How you gonna make push button an option in 2019?
I have a 2017 QX30 (non S) and I spent $40 on Amazon and just put it in the push button start myself since all of these come with Keyless-Go (same as Mercedes) so you can just stick em in
Knavish Never knew that you could do that. Makes sense though since a lot of options just need to be installed, wiring already there.
@@bigdaddyswole but you are right tho... its fucking 2019, WHY DID I EVEN HAVE TO DO THAT!!!!?
Knavish Makers want more money. You can spend $50k+ on a new E-Class and not even have adaptiveCC, yet Honda gives it standard (I believe) now.
@@bigdaddyswole and Makers will continue doing it bc consumers still buy them!
I see many of these about $20,000 or less right now. Do these really suck or something?
yeah that’s why i’m here, these should be like 40k, i wonder if people just want to avoid used mercedes
Does it have android auto?
Is that a Renault engine? Sounds a bit like one. Thanks for the nice review. I think I’d take the new Mazda3 hatch instead of this one.
2W3X4YZ5 GLA engine.
@Joe Taylor I’m aware of that. But Merc has been using Renault engines in the A class. They seem to not be proud of it, and seem to be concealing that. Neither Nissan nor Mercedes engines sound like that. Sounds like a Megane 2.0 when it shifts at high revs.

only the diesel ones are renault engines, petrol ones for q30 and qx30 are all mercedes
WAIT THIS IS A NISSAN OR A MERCEDES?
Can you review the new CHEVY BLAZER
BMW X7 review soon?
Yayy another review
Cool car and Excellent review Kyle
Why does the ley and the startup chime look like a Mercedes
Oh I see now
This is built on the mercedes platform this was designed by mercedes.
Nissan for life
M&R Tuning Nah Nissan Sucks, Hyundai For Life
Toyota_CorollaYt xD I cant stop laughing
M&R Tuning XDI Cant Believe You Like Shitsan
Toyota_CorollaYt I just like cars that don’t break down and don’t feel like cheaply made plastic

Why does the chime sound more mercedes than Infiniti/Nissan signature chime
@Benito Juárez I have to agree with u on dat
I really enjoyed the review! Reminds me of the motorweek retro reviews but yours carry more detail.
0:35 amazing.
Urgh, it looks sooooo good... 😫😍
Literally has a Mercedes chime and gauge cluster screen 😂😂
that thing sounds like its a little on the dry side

Thats a nice interior
Motor sounds loud

I see only in Europe?
