turbocharged engine infiniti seattle washington

You may have noticed that many vehicles in our luxury lineup â€” such as the 2018 INFINITI QX30 â€” possess turbocharged engines or, colloquially referred to as â€œturboâ€ for short. And if youâ€™re anything like me, you may have assumed that thatâ€™s just a decorative descriptor word added to the nomenclature in order to make the ride sound exceptionally fast.

However, it turns out that a turbocharger is actually a legitimate motor device used to increase an internal combustion unitâ€™s efficiency and energy output.Â

Powered by an exhaust-driven turbine, the turbocharger compresses and forces extra air into the combustion chamber. By squeezing more oxygen into a cylinder, it means that more fuel can also be added. The result is a more significant production of force and dynamic HP. Not bad, right?

So, the next time you see that fancy familiar feature used on a spec sheet, you might be more inclined to take the respective ride for a spin.Â
