Infiniti EX30d a ‘crossover coupé’, which is pushing it a bit, but it’s certainly more rakish in profile than the SUV norm. However, that does affect practicality, with the rear seats and boot not as spacious as other SUVs. There is offers everything on the GT Premium specification.
Interior, there’s touch-screen satnav with iPod connection and a Michelin guide pre-loaded; a lane departure warning and prevention system; cornering xenon lights; heated and electrically adjusted leather front seats; self-repairing Scratch Shield paint; and rear privacy glass.
The steering is weighty but lifeless and the seven-speed automatic seems unnecessarily busy given the V6 turbodiesel’s prodigious torque output. There’s 405lb.ft on offer, giving the EX30d effortless low-rev urgency. It’s worth pushing the V6 harder too, as unlike many diesels it makes a pleasingly rousing note at the upper reach of the rev-counter needle’s sweep.
