First official picture of Infiniti Q30 gets released, called a “Premium Active Concept”

We know Infiniti’s been hard at work to launch a new compact entry-level model after revealing the Q30 Concept in 2013.

Now, the production model was just revealed in single teaser pic, along with an official statement that Infiniti will go into full-detail about the car at this year’s IAA show in Frankfurt in September.

The new Infiniti Q30 Premium Active Compact is described as Infiniti’s next step in advancing their design language, with lots of curves, an aggressive front fascia that has a comparable toned-down grille, especially when compared to its competitors, and a sweeping low-slung profile.

The Q30 is still being finalized in Europe with its development and testing. Until the full debut at Frankfurt, check out the press statement below.

Infiniti Q30 Premium Active Compact set for Frankfurt IAA 2015 premiere

  • Daring, expressive design meets advanced ride and handling performance
  • Category-breaking Q30 faithful to 2013 concept car
  • World premiere for global media September 15th at Frankfurt Motor Show

Hong Kong – The first ever Infiniti Q30 Premium Active Compact is ready for its world premiere at the International Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year.

Featuring Infiniti’s iconic design language, the all-new Q30 represents a category-breaking vehicle concept developed for customers seeking urban individuality. Its dynamic drive characteristics provide for Infiniti-typical confident and responsive performance as well as excellent ride and handling. Crafted trims and expressive interiors extend the striking design approach from the exterior into the passenger cabin.

The public premiere of the Q30 Active Compact comes exactly two years after its precursor, the Q30 Concept, was introduced at the 2013 Frankfurt show. The unmistakable approach of that winning concept has been fully maintained as Infiniti’s all-new Q30 compact vehicle is introduced to the market.

“Design is a key pillar of the Infiniti brand, and the new Q30 Active Compact perfectly embodies this approach,” said Infiniti president Roland Krueger. “The Q30 Active Compact delivers the distinctive design, the driving dynamics and the individuality that our customers expect of an Infiniti vehicle. With our first ever entry in the compact car segment, we continue the product offensive and provide additional options for our discerning customers.”

The Q30 Active Compact underwent final testing and development in Europe. It will be built in Sunderland in the UK, which then becomes the fourth country on three continents to build Infiniti vehicles.

Press days for the international motor show in Frankfurt this year are on September 15 and 16; public days are held September 17 to 27.
