Gone after the revision are the Q30 1.6-litre Turbo GT, the QX30 2.0-litre Turbo GT and all diesel options, while the Q30 2.0 litre Turbo Sport has become the Pure and the Sport Premium is now simply called the Sport.

What was previously the QX30 2.0-litre Turbo GT Premium is now called the QX30 Sport, and is the sole high-riding model on offer.

Along with the model name changes, Infiniti has adjusted pricing for select Q30 and QX30 models, and will offer a limited driveaway pricing deal.

While the entry-level Q30 Pure price remains unchanged at $44,900 plus on roads, the Q30 Sport wears a $52,900 sticker price as standard. However, for a limited time the more heavily equipped Q30 is available at $46,888 driveaway. The QX30 Sport will have a $56,900 plus on-roads price as standard, with a $49,888 driveway price for a limited time.

All variants share the same 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, with 155kW and 350Nm.
