Which Infiniti Q30 version should you choose?
For maximum performance, 2.0T Sport combines 211 hp, 357 Nm, a 7.3-second 0–100 km/h time and a 235 km/h top speed. It has FWD and uses 7.1 l/100 km combined. The 2.0 DCT matches its 211 hp and 7.3-second acceleration, adds AWD, and reduces combined consumption by 0.2 l/100 km, although its top speed is 5 km/h lower and torque is 7 Nm lower.
For the lowest combined fuel consumption, 1.5 MT records 4.1 l/100 km. The 1.5 DCT retains the same 109 hp and 260 Nm but replaces the 6-speed Manual gearbox with a 7-speed Robotic gearbox. Its combined consumption rises by 0.2 l/100 km, while its 0–100 km/h time improves by 0.1 second and its top speed increases by 2 km/h.
For stronger diesel performance, 2.1 DCT FWD offers 170 hp, 350 Nm, an 8.3-second 0–100 km/h time and 4.2 l/100 km combined consumption. Choosing the AWD 2.1 DCT adds 76 kg of kerb weight, raises combined consumption by 0.7 l/100 km, slows acceleration by 0.2 second and lowers top speed by 6 km/h.
Among the 1595 cc gasoline choices, 1.6L DCT is the most powerful at 156 hp. It produces 7 hp more than 1.6 DCT and 34 hp more than 1.6 MT. The 1.6 DCT and 1.6 MT both consume 6.0 l/100 km combined, while 1.6L DCT uses 6.5 l/100 km.
