As if we could be more excited about the release of this state-of-the-art crossover, the 2019 INFINITI QX50 is changing the future of the automotive industry. It will make its grand introduction into the marketplace this month, and with it comes the â€œworldâ€™s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine.â€ (Now say that ten times fast.)

What Nissanâ€™s luxury brand is calling the VC-Turbo is a proprietary 2.0-liter generator that utilizes advanced internal combustion technology to create a product that optimizes for both fuel and efficiency. While requiring a significantâ€”and long overdueâ€”re-working of the traditional mechanics of a piston-driven powertrain, the results speak for themselves. The 2019 QX50 can produce 268 HP and 288 lb-ft torque â€” a substantial improvement from the 208 HP and 258 lb-ft from previous models.Â

Simply put, the engine uses a multi-link system (and a little bit of magic) to manipulate the reach of the pistons. Simultaneously, it also detects driving conditions and operator inputs. With this information, it then selects the most suitable compression ratio.Â The resultÂ is the power and torque of a diesel combined with the high-performance and fuel economy of a four-cylinder gasoline motor.

Honestly, words donâ€™t do it justice. Want to experience the VC-Turbo in action for yourself? Stop by our dealership today to learn more and set up a test drive.
