At the Guangzhou Motor Show Infiniti dropped the Q50 with a CLA powerplant. A side effect of their growing partnership, the M270 Turbocharged 4 from the CLA is now being shared with Infiniti. M270 is also expected in Q60, Q30 and QX30...
so there you go 210 HP Turbo 4... I imagine a little tune could make the next gen Q60 a real weapon
it's not the best but good for a vehicle in this segment.
next generation model will need to be lighter to be more fuel efficient and to please everyone on both sides.
but how much lighter? i don't know. Maybe low 3000 LBS range would be good?
Is the Q30 going to be more up market than the CLA though? The CLA has a pretty good engine, but its interior takes some short cuts. I hope that the Q30 doesn't compromise as much on these things even though it is sharing a platform and engine with the CLA.
I don't think the CLA will be upmarket, the CLA is an entry-level mercedes with crappy build quality unless you get the 45AMG. True Mercedes buyers and enthusiasts wouldn't even get one, if they do, it's a beater.
thats true but it's still better than a front wheel drive Mercedes. the Q30 is on a platform that IMO is better, more suitable for what it is. I would never buy a FWD MB
no its true, but high end infinitis are not held to the same standards as high level mercedes meaning the chasm between low and high is much less for infiniti than it is for CLA
MB now has more affordable cars, same with Infiniti.
