2019 INFINITI QX30: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 INFINITI QX30 is mostly a carryover, with a trim-lineup cleanup as its main change: Base, Luxury, and Premium are dropped, leaving Pure, Luxe, Essential, and Sport. Essential also moves Blind Spot Warning from standard to optional equipment.
About the 2019 INFINITI QX30
1st generation (2017-2019), final year; no redesign for 2019 after the 2018.5 trim-and-equipment update.
Infiniti positioned the QX30 as a premium active crossover: a small luxury vehicle that blended hatchback agility, a higher seating position, and crossover usefulness. Its main draw was not maximum cabin or cargo room, but bold styling, an upscale interior, responsive turbo power, and easy maneuverability for city and suburban driving. Against more traditional rivals, the QX30 stood out by feeling part coupe, part hatchback, and part crossover, aimed at buyers who wanted something smaller and more distinctive.
The 2019 lineup starts with the straightforward Pure, while Luxe adds everyday comfort features such as heated power seats and a panoramic moonroof. Essential emphasizes upscale equipment with leather-appointed seats, Bose audio, and LED headlights. Sport takes a more athletic approach with a lower sport-tuned suspension, unique body styling, sport seats, and upgraded front brakes.
