Infiniti fans have been waiting for the production QX30 to arrive ever since the manufacturer unveiled the crossover concept at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
And now the showroom-ready version of the BMW X3 rival has finally been revealed, ahead of first customer deliveries next summer.
The four-wheel-drive SUV newcomer is set be built alongside the Q30 premium hatchback, on which it’s based, at the Sunderland plant of Infiniti’s parent company Nissan.
It’s expected to share the Q30’s engine range, which currently incorporates a 208bhp 2.0-litre petrol and a 168bhp 2.2-litre turbodiesel. Both variants come with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto box.
Slightly larger dimensions, a 45mm-higher ride and bespoke suspension tuning should enhance ability, ride and handling both on and off-tarmac, while more muscular styling and a new mesh grille define the SUV aesthetics.
An upmarket interior will reflect Infiniti’s premium ethos, with a generous level of equipment including a seven-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system.
Prices should start at around £30,000, but exact figures and specs have yet to be revealed.
