How much does the 2017 INFINITI QX30 cost?

Prices have softened 10.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 218 listings available, which gives you a workable amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $11,407.78, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2017 INFINITI QX30 a good car?

With a user rating of 3.67/5 and an expert rating of 8.00/10, the 2017 INFINITI QX30 lands in the appealing-but-compromised zone for used shoppers.

The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Owners repeatedly praise the smooth driving experience, attractive design, advanced features, and beautiful interior. That lines up well if you want a premium-feeling compact crossover that leans more toward style and driving character than utility.

The QX30’s appeal is strongest if you value a distinctive small luxury crossover with a polished cabin and a fun personality. It closes with 31.7% good or great deals, so you may have room to shop carefully.

Is the 2017 INFINITI QX30 reliable?

The 2017 INFINITI QX30 is presented as a premium compact crossover with a Mercedes-Benz-supplied platform, and that shared hardware is part of its appeal.

Owners describe it as smooth and attractive, and the feedback also points to a premium interior and advanced features that feel well put together. The driving character is described as composed and enjoyable, which supports the sense that it’s a car you can live with day to day.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the QX30 can move well once it’s in its stride, with strong cornering and a suspension setup that works better here than in the related Mercedes application. The available Technology Package adds useful driver aids and a surround-view monitor, which can make ownership easier in tight urban settings.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a premium compact crossover with this kind of complexity can become more expensive to keep if prior maintenance was inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 INFINITI QX30?

At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in any collision or shows signs of uneven panel fit, tire wear, or suspension issues. Pay close attention to the cabin and cargo area too, since owners commonly call out the limited trunk space and some interior-control frustrations.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim comes with LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, cloth seats, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a backup camera, while the Sport adds 19-inch wheels, unique fascias, upgraded brakes, suspension and exhaust finishers, and Dinamica sport seats and trim. The Premium adds leather seating, power/heated front seats, and folding side mirrors, and the Luxury adds a Bose 10-speaker audio system, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lights, and heated windshield washers.
• Powertrain: The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 makes 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Fuel economy is 24 mpg city, 33 highway, 27 combined for FWD and 21 mpg city, 30 highway, 25 combined for AWD.
• Safety package: The available Technology Package adds blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, a surround-view monitor with parking sensors, and Intelligent Cruise Control++. Base safety equipment includes front and side-impact airbags, LATCH, Vehicle Dynamic Control, traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
• Infotainment: The QX30 uses an older single-screen touchscreen system with a basic center-console controller. It does not rely on the frustrating dual-screen setup found in some other Infiniti models, and the touchscreen itself is a major usability advantage.
• Fuel efficiency: The FWD model returns 24 mpg city, 33 highway, 27 combined, while the AWD model returns 21 mpg city, 30 highway, 25 combined.

Which 2017 INFINITI QX30 trim should I buy?

The 2017 INFINITI QX30 is offered in 4 trim levels: Base, Luxury, Premium, and Sport.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: This is the most affordable entry point, but it lacks the leather seating, power/heated front seats, and upgraded audio found higher up the range.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Premium is the best value if you want the biggest everyday upgrade over Base, because it adds leather seating, power/heated front seats, and folding side mirrors without jumping all the way to the top trim.
• Premium/top trim: The Luxury is the most upscale choice, adding a Bose 10-speaker audio system, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lights, and heated windshield washers.
• Off-road trim: The Sport is the one to skip if you want the most conventional daily-driver setup, since it is FWD-only and leans more toward style and sport tuning than broad practicality.

The available Technology Package is worth considering on any trim if you want blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, and the surround-view monitor.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 INFINITI QX30?

What is the 2017 INFINITI QX30's resale value?

The current average of $11,673 sits slightly below last year's $13,070.

That price movement suggests the QX30 has softened enough to help you buy more confidently today, but it also means future resale may remain sensitive to condition, mileage, and equipment. If you keep the car clean, well maintained, and accident-free, you’ll be in a better position to protect value later. If you buy one with prior damage or visible wear, the resale hit can be harder to recover from.

Is the 2017 INFINITI QX30 safe?

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

The QX30 comes standard with front and side-impact airbags, LATCH, Vehicle Dynamic Control, traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The available Technology Package adds blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, a surround-view monitor with parking sensors, and Intelligent Cruise Control++.

That package is especially useful if you drive in tight city traffic or park in crowded areas, and it meaningfully improves the QX30’s everyday safety tech. If you’re shopping used, it’s worth confirming whether a given car has that package, since it adds several of the most desirable driver-assistance features.

Should I buy a 2017 INFINITI QX30 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.69% compared with last year.
• The expert evaluation highlights a distinctive Mercedes-based platform, strong driving character, and a premium-feeling cabin.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of price relief, available inventory, and the QX30’s distinctive style, the 2017 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, keep shopping carefully for a clean, well-equipped example near the low end of the range, because condition and equipment matter a lot on this model.
