New Infiniti Q review
the compact hatch market is packed full of great cars so it's unsurprising that new entry on the market want to do things a little bit differently this is the infiniti Q a five-door hatchback with that premium feel we've come to expect mentality but with a quirky a chunky look it's definitely a member of the Infiniti family and you can see the key similarities between the cars range with the human I like headlights and the characteristic poker ill it's a smart move for the company which hasn't been making huge waves so far and it believes the key will double its sales figures here we BBQ inch wheels this combined with the long wheelbase is designed to give that more bulky pronounced aren't just because this is a premium card doesn't mean to have compromised on the practicality take a look here you've got three hundred and sixty eight litres of space which actually is bad for its class is only a little lip got an extra compartment and all in all it's a bit awkward shape but it's not too bad the boot also folds with a split but the seats don't fold completely flat so again it's a bit of an awkward shape to make the most of bad faith in here i mean the space myself as high as I can loads of room under the seat in front my feet all in all not bad but for a large man you might struggle and actually getting three people in here transmission total squeeze there are three trim levels available with the key the entry level SEC premium sport as the name suggests premium has gotten more premium feel here we've got the premium in Kapiti trim which comes with black leather seats suede roof lining and the Infiniti in touch infotainment system arguably the most important part the car is the driver's seat and competitive tried really hard to make feats that really support you when you're driving and you can really feel it when you're driving along that these are really looking after your back very very comfortable and also in here is where you really spoke to Mercedes influences things like barium studies and the stuff on the dash or feels very Mercedes which gives it a real premium feel just looking at the shape of the Duchess well as got those lovely sweet reflect from the outside of the car just continuing inside this book gives you sports seats which are more sculpted and was still a pretty premium feel to the interior but it's more than just a trim level the sports it's millimetres lower than the standard Q notes that height difference as well as new bumpers that an upgrade to the brakes and suspension to make the right that bit more involving my driving at the . litre diesel which is expected to be the most popular often the case that you write first impressions are the light now up to speed on my way it's a really really comfortable car to be a comfort is definitely the aim of the game when it comes to the Q it's not particularly fun but on a day-to-day basis is definitely the car you could live with the only problem is around town at low speeds it can be a little bit underpowered and just feel like I need a little bit more cuts but up speed and lightweight when I take people any property the . is the lowest power Hugh available at a hundred and six brake horsepower and is the same engine taken from the Nissan Qashqai and the rest of the range of shared from Mercedes a class and those looking for a bit more guts can get a . liter diesel engine available with a hundred and sixty-five brake horsepower the big problem with the Q has to be the price it makes a compelling argument if you're not concerned about having a dynamic driving experience but with prices starting around , pounds you're already creeping into a Coast territory and surely most people will opt for the real deal rather Mercedes underneath the Sun on top want to find out more about some other small cars on the market to see our latest review of the new MINI Clubman click on the window on the right to find out all there is to know about the new Vauxhall Astra click on the window on the left don't forget to subscribe to our channel by clicking on the audio experts logo
