Motoring did a comparison test between the Q30 and the Lexus CT 200h it was only a matter of time before entry models from both brands were compared to each other.

Lexus does have a lot of tech in available including autonomous emergency braking and it gets better fuel economy, but the Q30 still wins.

Kudos to Infiniti! Move over Lexus!

I think Lexus is generally seen as a more luxurious and better brand than Infiniti. They better step up because Infiniti is catching up and the Q30 is more affordable.

Not really a fair comparison since the CT has been out for a long time, it's an old outgoing model that's being compared to something that JUST came out and something that's built to be relevant for the next 6-7+ years.

What will be interesting is comparing the Q30 with the upcoming Lexus UX. Plus someone willing to go the used route can scoop up a used Lexus NX for almost the same price as a new Q30/QX30. Just something to think about for those looking for value.

But, that thing is a concept right now isn't it? For all we know, Lexus would just take away all the panels that make it interesting and reduce it to a generic crossover like the rest of their lineup.

A 2016 models isn't that old, just a one year difference compared to the Q30 so the comparison is still fair.

I think this comment from a reader sums up the comparison:

Man oh man, I'm getting more & more impressed with the Q30 everyday!

Newer, cheaper, faster, sexier, schmick DSG vs. ghastly CVT, bigger boot, bigger wheels (I think)... not as economical sure,

That's pretty much why the Q30 is better than the lexus.

The Lexus Enhancement Pack 2 costs another $6500, the base price may be fine but once you start adding everything else the Lexus is going to cost way more.
