2019 infiniti qx60 for sale puyallup bellevue washingtonIf you’ve ever cursed rising gas prices, wondered how long you could avoid filling up for, or questioned the practicality of hitchhiking, then INFINITI's newly developed Eco Pedal is for you.

Now available in the 2019
INFINITI QX60 (and other models), the ECO Pedal is specially designed to provide drivers with more fuel efficient commuting. When engaged, the system works by intuitively counteracting compression through a push-back control mechanism.

Each time the operator exerts excess pressure on the acceleration treadle, the tactile indicator prevents engine revving through offset-
dampering. This reverse action helps to minimize fuel consumption during both start and acceleration.

Simultaneously, motorists will also be notified of their enviro-friendly travel through a visible indicator displayed on the information dash. Here, the assigned lamp will showcase not only when the function is “on” but also the level of conservation.

According to Nissan Global, studies show that the EP contributes to a 5-10% increase in economy in most conditions. Considering the QX60 runs on a 295 HP 3.5-liter V6, while still earning up to 20 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway, we’d say the technology works.
