2019 infiniti qx50 for sale tacoma seattle washington

Popular Mechanics just published a piece on the INFINITI variable compression engine and what it means for your vehicle. Youâ€™ll find it in the 2019 QX50, which is well worth a look regardless, but the VC feature really puts the crossover on another level.

The scientific publication explains the technology well, saying that it is capable of changing its compression ratio from 8:1 to as much as 14:1. The higher the proportion, the more tightly youâ€™re squeezing the air-fuel mixture in the engine. This means more power and gas efficiency.

Wouldnâ€™t a high ratio be better all the time, then, you might wonder? Actually, no, because forced-induction engines (like anything thatâ€™s turbocharged) collect air and put it into the engine for better performance. Tight compacting can then cause unpredictable behavior or knocking.

The INFINITI variable compression turbo engine is a 2.0-liter inline-four, and it can operate at a very high ratio without knocking. This is just one of the many amazing aspects of the 2019 QX50! Youâ€™ll also appreciate occupant-sensing airbags, heated seats with memory, and a universal transceiver.

The next time youâ€™re in the greater Seattle, Washington, area, stop by INFINITI of Tacoma. We canâ€™t wait to schedule your test drive!

In another giant leap towards the self-driving cars promised in our future, INFINITI delivers Active Lane Control to the new INFINITI Q50 and other models. While not fully self-ruling (yet!), this proprietary feature eliminates driver exhaustion, improves overall safety, and ensures an enjoyable ride, every time.Â Â

Utilizing a camera located on the front of the inside rear-view mirror, equipped vehicles are able to detect lane markings on the road ahead. With this information, it can autonomously make small force and steering adjustments to assist the driver. Not only does the ALC function help to prevent unintended drifting, but it can also account for minor road surface changes and be especially useful in dealing with crosswind situations.

To further impress, by reducing the need for operator inputs, the motoristâ€™s effort will also likely be lessened. When fatigue is minimized â€” especially on longer commutes or journeys â€” riders can plan to arrive at their destination with less travel burnout.

Want to learn more? Swing by our dealership today and take one of our ALC-equipped vehicles for a spin so that you can experience the modern phenomenon for yourself.Â

Direct Adaptive Steering â€” available in the newÂ INFINITI Q50, as well as other models â€” is a feature for the people. Utilizing incredibleÂ worldâ€™s-first technology, it allows you, the operator, to fully customize your commuting experience with three selectable modes. Depending on your mood, conditions on the road, or both; you can personalize effort and response by choosing either a Heavy, Standard, or Light setting.

The innovation is made possible by removing the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires and replacing it with an electronic wire system. This adjustment allows for instantaneous motorist input that can be digitally processed and adjusted up to 1,000 times per second.

This confidence-inspiring system is entirely unaffected by the kickback and forced movement on conventional columns. Instead, it gradually requires more effort with increased speeds and G-forces. The result is seamless acceleration, fluid turning, and stable road-holding around corners.

Want to learn more about DAS in the 2018Â INFINITI Q50? Contact our dealership today to speak with a representative. Better yet, come on down and experience this feature for yourself by taking one of our car's for a spin.
