It looks like the difference between Q30 and QX30 is identical to the difference between the A class and the GLA. Mercedes doesn't sell both models here to namely protect the GLA but also, americans dont have much taste for small hatches. Audi did similar when they did away with the A3 hatch in NA for the Q3.

How can inifinti sell the Q30 and QX30 based on that evidence?

Not sure how they'll do it but one way I always thought would work out well for them was to undercut the MB, possibly giving them the volume they want to have and more.

well i guess the one angle I havent considered is that infintii only sells the QX30 in the US just like mercedes only sells the GLA...

I am still struggling to see the real difference between the two at this point. It seems like it is going to increase production costs while not really returning a significant profit as opposed to just having one or the other. I bet you that many people that buy one of these vehicles would have bought the other one if the first option wasn't there. Cannibalization.
