THE British-built all-new Infiniti Q30 is best in class “small family car” 2015 by Euro NCAP, the independent vehicle safety organisation in Europe.

The announcement of the “small family car” award coincides with the new premium active compact car arriving at all Infiniti showrooms across Europe.

Having a host of state-of-the-art safety systems on board, Q30 delivered outstanding results in all test areas, such as crash test performance as well as child and pedestrian protection.

In the latter category the active bonnet helped it to gain results that were among the best of 2015. Q30 clearly surpassed all of its competitors that were tested in this segment. This achievement directly follows the maximum five-star rating Infiniti Q30 has received in Euro NCAP’s latest safety test at the end of 2015.

“We are honoured that our all-new Q30 has been awarded a ‘best-in-class’ rating by Euro NCAP,” said François Goupil de Bouillé, Vice President of Infiniti Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“This is a clear testament of the many excellent qualities of our first premium compact car and the result of our continuous development of innovative safety technology for all of our models. Our goal has always been to deliver our customers a unique driving experience while offering maximum safety for all occupants.”
