In the near future, the Infiniti QX30 will hit the showroom floor. For now, though, the concept version hits the stage at the 2015 Geneva Auto Show.

Power for the concept is a 2-liter turbo-four — one meant to preview Infiniti’s future turbocharged engine lineup — delivering its power to all four corners through a seven-speed automatic; power figures were not available at this time.

Competing with small premium crossovers like the Porsche Macan, BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLA, the QX30 Concept boasts amenities such as Connolly saddle leather seats with blue stitching, Infiniti InTouch, and 21-inch wheels. It can also tackle dustier trails with its 7.6-inches of ground clearance.

    I like the styling. This would be interesting with a plugin hybrid system, an electric power takeoff, and a trailer hitch. But, then again, I say that about everything -- including my Prius.

    The exterior's not bad -- very Infiniti, if nothing else. I wonder if the grille will look quite as outsized in person, at least when parked next to anything other than a Lexus. The interior, though, looks like the result of a drunken hookup between a 6-Series and a rental Ford. And again with the glowing emblem? STAHP.

  • Calrson Fan Jeff - Agree with what you said. I think currently an EV pick-up could work in a commercial/fleet application. As someone on this site stated, w/current tech. battery vehicles just do not scale well. EBFlex - No one wanted to hate the Cyber Truck more than me but I can't ignore all the new technology and innovative thinking that went into it. There is a lot I like about it. GM, Ford & Ram should incorporate some it's design cues into their ICE trucks.
  • Michael S6 Very confusing if the move is permanent or temporary.
  • Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
  • Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
  • Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
