What is the Infiniti J30?

The Infiniti J30 was a four-door luxury sedan sold in North America. Infiniti called it a personal luxury sedan, and its flowing curves and sloping rear gave it a distinctive look among the more angular sedans of its era. It offered a comfortable, everyday four-door shape with styling that stood apart from the rest of the range.

The J30 had one generation, from 1993 to 1997, known by the Y32 code. Designed at Nissan Design International in California, it was conceived to break from the wedge-shaped styling common among sedans at the time. In the United States and Canada, it used a 3.0-litre petrol engine.
