2019 Infiniti QX30

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 QX30.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (AM7)

The 2019 Infiniti QX30 is a passenger car equipped with an AM7 automatic transmission and an engine requiring 6.0 quarts of oil, delivering EPA fuel economy ratings of 24 city, 33 highway, and 27 combined mpg. Within the vehicle's brief 2017-2019 production history, the 2019 model represents a significant reliability improvement, recording the lowest number of owner complaints at just three—a stark contrast to the 32 complaints logged for the 2017 debut year. Nevertheless, researchers should note that the model still carries a single recall, and its few grievances remain concentrated in the electrical system and forward collision avoidance categories, indicating that while overall reliability improved, those specific areas remained persistent pain points.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 45,000 mi; coolant at 155,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 155,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2019 Infiniti QX30 marks a clear improvement over the preceding years, with complaints dropping sharply from 32 in 2017 and 22 in 2018 to just 3 in 2019. Recalls also fell to a single action, and there were no investigations, compared to two investigations across the earlier years. Technical service bulletins (TSBs) declined steadily from 137 in 2017 to 56 in 2019, suggesting that many of the generation's initial issues were addressed by the final model year. The few complaints that remain are isolated to the electrical system, forward collision avoidance, and air bags, with two crash-related reports but no fires. Given this downward trend in reported problems and the absence of investigations, the 2019 QX30 represents the most mature and least problematic version of this generation, making it a solid choice for a used purchase.
