The all-new 2017 Infiniti QX30 compact premium crossover made its first appearance in Canada yesterday at the 2016 Montreal Auto Show following its world premiere last November. 

This vehicle puts Nissan’s luxury division into a new market segment, one that’s hotly contested these days. It will go on sale in the second half of 2016 and be available in three different models including the base QX30, the sport-tuned QX30S, and the winter-busting QX30 AWD.

Look for a 208-horsepower, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine to reside under the hood, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Also making its Canadian debut in Montreal is the 2016 Infiniti QX60, offering a heavily revised exterior, improved driving experience, and seven option packages for maximum customization. Both the QX60 3.5 AWD and QX60 Hybrid AWD provide the responsive performance and fuel efficiency increasingly demanded by premium crossover buyers, Infiniti says.
