2016 Infiniti QX30 Summary

Tim Robson road tests and reviews the 2016 Infiniti QX30 at its Australian launch with specs, fuel consumption and verdict.

There’s no doubt that the compact crossover segment is a vitally important place for any carmaker to be. Nissan’s luxury arm, Infiniti, is no different, and thanks to a decision from its Japanese masters, the diminutive premium brand will go from having no players on the field to having two marquee players in a matter of just a few months.

The architecturally identical front-wheel-drive Q30 launched only a month ago in three variants, and now it’s the turn of the all-wheel-drive QX30 to take to the pitch.

But is there enough of a difference between the two to actually consider them different cars? Is it adding a layer of complexity for the prospective Infiniti customer? As it turns out, the differences run more than skin deep.

2024 GWM Tank 300 Summary

A new petrol-powered 4WD seems an anomaly in a world seemingly hell-bent on rapidly embracing EVs.

However, there’s still room for a traditional off-road vehicle or two – especially those with front and rear diff locks – for the time being, anyway.

I tested the Chinese-made GWM (Great Wall Motors) Tank 300 petrol in late 2023 and noted there was a lot to like about it, although I also highlighted a few negatives. 

After recently revisiting it for another hard-core off-road test, have I changed my mind?

Read on.
