The 2016 Infiniti QX30 was caught with minimal camouflage in Spain while it was being tested and motor.es published a few of these spied shots.

It looks like it's almost ready for production but Infiniti has not provided us with a debut date yet. Maybe we'll see an uncovered production model at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year.

Does it look like the concept model?

I wonder why the camouflage on the front and back of the QX30. Is there really any question left as to what we will see there?

Seeing it in these pictures reminds me a lot of the Mercedes GLA, ride height and proportions seem to be just about in line with each other.

Shouldn't be a surprise. Those things should be identical. Mostly styling will be what's different.

Indeed.

The C-pillar helps to show that design difference since in comparison to the GLA, there's no cookie cutter approach to design with both models, just designs unique to each brand.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Not sure why they're still camouflaging it when we know what the Q30 will look like.

They're doing it for attention, if it didn't have that camo it wouldn't send the auto publications as crazy about it as they have been. Plus it helps to confirm that it is indeed a vehicle under testing.

Nope...its on for a very good reason ie the front and rear bumpers are styled differently to the Q
Take notice the side skirts and wheel arch trims have no gloss finish

Actually that's a very good point you make their, one obvious one that I missed and looking back at the photos posted, this one shows what you're talking about really well:

So...QX30 will look the same as Q30 but only a bit higher...

 

[Indiana Jones]

The QX30 has a bit more ground clearance and you can choose AWD or low riding S trim. That's pretty much it.

In the future they might include more for all we know. One other thing I think might be different is the tire type, they might include more of an aggressive all season tire meant for more of a mixed used than just your typically all season passenger tire.

 

[87532032]

Compared to GLA, QX30 is mush better.

 

[Answer42]

Compared to the GLA, the QX30 looks more unique and it still has the German-bred powertrain.

 

[infinite]

Well there are noticable differences in the overall body, just that you really have to look, seeing both in person will help this since seeing the proportions in person gives you a real understanding of it more than pictures can.

Does anyone prefer QX30 than Q30?

Maybe but for now same rims and normal road tyres

Well with the intention of it acting as a CUV/small crossover, the wheels or just tires should reflect that. Much unlike something intended as luxury/sport hatchback

Yes you'd think so....but wheels and tyres look the same....I'll look into it and compare spec's and let you know if there is a difference ie tyre spec or manufacturer

I'm leaning towards the QX30, but still debatable right now.

QX30 looks bigger, I would like to assume more interior space. I like the Q30, but I saw a video review and the rear passenger head space is terrible. Especially the middle person, not much head room.
