The Infiniti J30 was a rear wheel drive luxury car. The J30 went into production on April 7, 1992 as a 1993 model to replace the M30. The car was fairly small but featured rounded styling uncharacteristic of the crowded near-luxury market. Unlike earlier Infinitis, the J30 received effective advertisement with jazz music and artistic camera shots. Power came from a 3.0 L VG30DE V6 (shared with the 300ZX) which produced 210 hp and 220 ft.lbf. It shared a platform with the Japan-market Nissan Cima and Cedric.
The J30's most distinguishing feature was its low interior room. It had the distinction of being a mid-size car with the space of a subcompact (less than a Sentra) due to its sloping roofline and shrunken trunk.
All J30s were built in Tochigi, Japan. Production of the J30 ended on June 18, 1997.
The images shown to the right depict the touring model, the J30t. Among many advanced features, this model featured a rear spoiler and HICAS (four wheel steering).
