- The Infiniti Q30 is the Japanese company's answer to premium hatchbacks like the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class. In fact, it even shares several mechanical parts with the Mercedes, including its diesel engines.
The inside is high quality with a luxury feel, plus the Q30 comes with plenty of standard equipment. It's comfortable to drive, too. But how does it compare to its rivals? Watch the video and find out!

I hate when reviews criticize small cars for being small.
Lol exactly that's why there small cars!....
I have a Q30 and absolutely love it. I'm at the stage of changing, but honestly, nothing out there compares. I'll happily keep a hold of it for a year or two longer.
Infiniti Q30 look better than Mercedes A Class.
The q30 is a poor copy of the mercedes A class
+Alexander James they're actually the same cars
great design in my opinion
i agree, its ashame it hasn't picked up yet
Adrian CC your right , but the lexus ct200h is better than both of them .
probably the best hatchback ever made!! my favorite.
This is GLA platform
I don't get it. If Matt spoke the exact same words as this guy, you would all suck up to him. Give the guy a break, imagine if you were in his position and coming home to see all these negative comments about you.
+GlitterBuzz I couldn't agree more! I don't know what everyone's problem is? This guy is perfectly competent at reviewing cars. I watch Carbuyers videos to find out about the car their reviewing, not about the person reviewing it! Whether Matt has left or not isn't Carbuyers fault or anyone else's, so give the guy a break and treat him with some respect!
+GlitterBuzz There're more contributing factors than "content" alone in car reviews, last but not least “presentation”. Most viewers of Carbuyer expect videos delivered in a light-hearted candid manner, not from a presenter that dresses like a car salesman and speaks like a car salesman.
As a matter of fact Rebecca's debut is worthy of a cringe, but her development over time no doubt played a significant role to where Carbuyer is today. Perhaps James believes he is the finished article, stands by his own style, blinkers out the critics and hoping viewers will find love for him eventually, perhaps, if Carbuyer is the only channel that does car reviews...
GlitterBuzz they're all a bunch of gays
A3 better quality interior??
You don't get this nice leather/ alcantara stitching on the dashboard in the A3..
Actually in none of the rivals
The looks pretty great, the seats are sporty and the presenter is the best by far. Keep up the good work!
This guy is getting better. I was a skeptic at first but he's much more watchable now.
+Dumebi7278 yeah, good review and less sissy, but the colour of his trousers... :)
such a beautiful car and the interior its spot on...i like it so much...its so nice and much nicer then the mercedes a class
Seems like a GLA not an A class to me
Don Limpio yes its almost a small suv
Another great review! Give this guy a break all you haters out there, he is doing a very good job!
+Markus Henryson i know,all of these bullies cause a guy is doing his job.
agreee
He is going to do reviews until people like him more and more, and finally when most people start to like his reviews Carbuyer will find a replacement...funny but sad cycle.
Those trousers tho :(
+2k10clarky It's like he nicked them from his little sister.
You're commenting on fashion on a car-review channel? What makes you an expert in fashion, Gok Wan? Why do you care what he's wearing? Shouldn't you be interested in the car (even though it's shit)? I'm guessing you're more intrigued in what's underneath his trousers.
Great review! And really like the car, I take this one over the GLA!
+nokia_cult Same here. I'm from the US where Infiniti isn't quite as looked down upon.
nokia_cult this is a q30 not a qx30
Vauxhall mokka Se 1.6
I don't know what everyone's complaining about. This new guy's reviews are pretty solid.
I start to really like him
Not a fan of the car but this is your best review yet, James.
Give him a break. He is actually pretty good reviewer!
In case anyone is curious, Infiniti uses purple trim (in various amounts in different models) to honour the Japanese royal family.
What is amazing is the pace this guy is making videos, he is EVERYWHERE!
my dad has a m35 for almost a decade now. one of the best cars I've driven so far. also pretty reliable
Damn, Infiniti's are so popular in the US. Q30 looks great, imo!
I'd like to add I felt the reviewer was very biased against Infiniti from the start. Infiniti is a solid brand in the luxury segment.
Man i love Infiniti, they are so good and luxurious.
isn't that based on GLA? and it's answer to X1, Q3 and so on?
+Gabriel Avramescu The Q30 is based on the Mercedes A-Class. The A-Class has the same chassis as the GLA and CLA, so they're all linked! There will be a QX30 along soon, which is a bit higher up and has some more rugged-looking body styling, much like the Mercedes GLA.
+Gabriel Avramescu Kinda but not really
Really like this reviewer. He seems like a really nice, knowledgeable guy!!
He sounds like my daughters high school drama teacher.
What these reviews always miss is that the rear seats in cars like this are meant for either 2-3 young kids, or 2 adults. They're never meant for 3 adults.
You really should promote cars being made in the UK! infiniti has created jobs for many in the UK
not trash them!
lets face it the UK isn't a contender in the Global Market for automotive production anymore even the British cars are owned by the Germans !!
I always liked the Infinity, especially the FX line. When I first saw it i was totally gobsmacked. This Q30, I don't know, should be seen in flesh i guess.
Made in UK, very well. Good review to, regards from Serbia.
My first time seeing this channel and lost all hope after he said ''This is a car made by Infiniti, and It's probably a car company you've never heard of''
I love the "british english" of this presenter" =)
Go for it James! you are human to😊
Truly an amazing car!
do you know what Im actually starting to enjoy this guy's reviews
It looks awesome. The Audi A3 should take note!
"also no armrest so i cant even rest my arm" you don't say
Love the design!
Is this car cramped in the front ? Is it’s the same as the MB ?? Thanks
Very good review, I want this car
Can you please do a vid about what the carbuyer team drive when you are not reviewing cars?
Surely the one point to raise when your comparing a Japanese luxury car to the german or british models is the much improved reliability and the fact you can rely on the car more. Carbuyer seems to be obsessed with mentioning the quality of the materials of the dashboard and little else. There are horrible reliability problems with Audi's for example but you wouldn't know it looking at carbuyer videos. A soft dashboard doesn't rank as my no.1 priority.
The Q30 is a headturner unlike the Audi, BMW and Mercedes rivals and of course owners will be driving something, initially at least, unique.....and UK made. My choice the 2.0 petrol DCT AWD
Thanks. This was an excellent review! Tempted to get this instead of the Lexus CT 200h but I'm really worried about it being unreliable given Mercedes' reputation.
Looking good
very good review
I used to like your reviews but not after looking at this one. I have personally seen Q30 and compared with Audi Q3 and BMW X3 and Mercedes GLA. Q30 beats all of Audi and BMW in quality of interiors. Mercedes GLA and Q30 have same space in the back seat. I did not find it as bad as you have rated. It is comparable to high end brands. British usually follow 'ratings' and we'll known brands, hence Infiniti is less popular in the UK
looks much better than any A-Class Mercedes
Gorgeous car!
Great review! Keep up the good work.
Oh.. Why did they stop making this? I read they stopped.. This would be awesome to own and drive I imagine.. This is a beautiful looking car for an average height person.. I love it
My true honest opninion on design:
-The front grill is bulging.
- The rear side windows ends abruptly with an inward curved line
Synthusiast so you don't like it
Yup.
Great review mate, ignore the haters
good review
This reviewer always stands on his tip toes at the end when he's talking to the camera.
James the goth, when you opened the trunk there seemed to be a ski hatch opening which probably means that you had an armrest as well.
They are not a bad steer ...I take that over a a class any day .......any day
where can I get the Carbuyer umbrella? are they for sale?
Is the Mercedes A Class which is a Nissan-Renault, not that Nissan borrowed from the germans, the germans borrowed from Renault. Doesn't matter they launched this one later.
They are very popular in other parts of the world so the uk is a small market for them. Do your research bruh
Great review....
Great review and the first infiniti that looks appealing for me.
Thank God this is a British-made car... otherwise I don't think this guy would give this car any credit for anything. Cramped rear seats? You didn't look cramped to me. Interior similar to that of the A class? Hmm...
I didn't know that Infiniti is such a failure in the UK.. I see them everywhere here in the US
oh this guy again !
Having seen it in the metal outside my office a good few times, I actually think it's one of the better-looking premium hatches. I don't think it's quite as distinctive as he makes it out though. I mean, the overall shape is very similar to the Mercedes A-Class, let's be honest... and it looks very tacky and Japanese inside, which is a pity. Certainly more appealing than a Lexus nonetheless, I would say.
As an american i'd buy this car, but unfortunately we will only get the jacked up version with plastic body cladding called the qx30. I like the lower ride height and general better looks of the q30 over the qx30.
I really wish they sold this in the US; other than the GLA, that's the closest we'll get to an A class
it looks quite beautiful
"With all models coming with air-conditioning"
I'm sorry, after that statement, I can't take this review seriously anymore.
I want Carbuyer umbrella !!!!
He didn't seem quiet as grating on the Auto Express review of the Geneva show but we still need a replacement, please!!!!
Most of q30 have amrest on the back!!! This guy should review scooters not cars
It’s not the rival for the A-Class....!
It’s based round the GLA-Class...! Some of the parts are off Mercedes GLA
Infiniti is a brand we never heard of? Do you even know your audience? Just throw him out already
Very nice review, professional and interesting, keep it up :)
The worst thing about this car is its based on Mercedes and has some Renault engines, if it was built by Nissans Japanese arm entirely, it would have been 100 times better
I would love to have this car
Looks like he really hates the car ..it's a great car all over the world , but to get into UKmarket they have to reduce the engine power
freaking beautiful!
When are you going to do a car giveaway?...I seriously need a car, I don't care if it doesn't have enough headroom or doesn't drive fast.
What about boot space? Will it be alright for Rottweiler?
Its funny you guys don't buy Infiniti's. Infiniti is a huge car company in the states.
royalbengal101 I had the FX and it was one of the best cars I ever owned. Look and performance. My lease was up and I should have bought it out. Now im in a TLX and its probably the dumbest car i have ever owned. 100% regret not buying my FX.
royalbengal101 The new look will come very soon. Probably 2017 or fall of 2017 being sold as a 2018. Its going to be amazing what ever they do.
Mazda styling?
It’s in the movie Underground, quite a few of them get smashed up
I think James is getting better, not that he was ever especially bad. While I prefer Matt, I prefer James to Ginny. His speech is a tad effeminate, which he can't help. And he's more fashion conscious than most car reviewers -- is that a bad thing? Matt is a seasoned pro, and has vast knowledge teamed with a great sense of humour. But James is doing remarkably well, and there's often sarcasm in his eyes. I quite like him...as a car reviewer -- although I still very much look forward to Matt's reviews. On the other hand, I think Ginny's reviews are uninspiring. Sorry, Ginny. Anyway, I welcome James to the Carbuyer/Auto Express team. I think he's competent, and he's complementary to the existing team.
Good review keep it up
Shame we can't get that in north America :/
is this mazda?
Good review / thanks
Body shape is very similar to mazda 2, isnt it?
And stop assuming people never heard of a car company or saying that Mercedes had no mid size SUV before the GLC!
Nice informative review, i think i'd still buy a GLA over this though. Surely just the resale value makes it a better proposition than this car.
Good review
Who the fuck doesnt know what infiniti is?
Is it just british people dont hear of infiniti?
He explains what infiniti is lmao
this colour is a killer
Good review :)
It's a great de solution because this motor is. The same in Mercedes renault nissan
Are there actually people concerned about the "CO2 emissions".....? Building any kind of automobile, even electric, is going to create CO2 emissions for F sakes
Looks good inside but looks too cramped and the windows are so small wtf blind spot must be huge
I'll wait for the Q60 coupe to drop, wait until depreciation hits and pick up a nice nearly new or used bargain mid 2017.....
