[Infiniti Q30]

The new Infiniti Q30 will be equipped with a supercharged 2.5L four cylinder hybrid engine with addition of a electric motor producing a wopping 245 horsepower. but thinking about the petrol and electric mixture only make me concerned about the price.

Do you think that enough horsepower for the Q30?

 

[Mr.Q]

245 horse power for a car this size?! That sounds very promising. I have yet to test drive and feel the power range of a hybrid. With the CVT transmission will get me more mileage right?

This sounds really good and all but it just really depends on how much he Q30 will be priced at. I have a feeling this will be in the $35,000 range because of the hybrid motor. If it was for that I would guess $3000-$4000 less just for a regular petrol engine.

In my arguement 245 hp sounds good but having a cvt might just take the fun out of it regardless of the power.

 

[Mr.Q]

what is wrong with the cvt transmission? My best interest lies with in the most mileage I could get from one tank of gas. I have had my fun in the past with other cars and kind of drowned out. I think this is the best transmission to go along with the hybrid. Just depends on what you want.

 

[Jevlan]

If thats your case then the Q30 might be tailored just for you. The thing that bothers me is the artificial shift points with the cvt. And from what I am thinking the gear ratios are just too long.

Do you know what weight will be like? with that much power I hope weight is around 3400-3500, less would obviously be better!

Also DCT would be better in the Q30, i'd much rather have it over CVT

 

[Infamy]

I am hoping for the weight to be around 3000lbs but since their might be a battery to lug around for the Q30 it might be more than that. 3200-3000 might be more reasonable but yes less wight makes more sense for mileage.

 

[Mr.Q]

I really don't get why this new Q30 would get such a boring and outdated chassis. even with a dual clutch transmission you can still achieve good fuel mileage. From what I heard the CVT transmission's real benefit lies in it's towing capacity and your not going to be towing anything with the Q30.

 

[trals]

CVT isn't a bad idea in a crossover as long as it WORKS.

 

[GeraldHomes]

Well if you plan to tow things with such a vehicle than yeah but if not it will just falll in to the boring category.

not impressed with hearing about the CVT transmission, funny that Infiniti is doing this at a time when some car makers are sending it to the chopping block. They should just throw in a traditional automatic or offer a DCT
