Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Q30.
The 2017 Infiniti Q30 arrives as a passenger car fitted with an AM7 automatic transmission, delivering EPA-rated fuel economy of 24 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. That efficiency figure accompanies a reliability record documenting 32 owner complaints—clustered most heavily in air bag systems—alongside four distinct recalls issued for the model year. For researchers, this data footprint signals that any prospective unit requires thorough verification of completed recall campaigns and supplemental restraint system service history.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2017 Infiniti Q30 lead in one area — the air bags, 8 of 32 reports (25%), well ahead of the next concern. That matters, because the air bags are also the target of recalls 17V-143 and 17V-691 on this vehicle — so the single most useful check before buying or servicing one is confirming they were actually performed. 3 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
