By now, you’ve probably heard the news: The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is the most advanced vehicle the luxury brand has ever designed. Equipped with a state of the art 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, it’s also paired with an innovative XTRONIC transmission to deliver even greater performance.
The continuously variable system utilizes shift-by-wire programming that completely eliminates the need for traditional gears. Instead, this forward CVT instantaneously adjusts depending on the motor’s compression ratios to enhance fuel efficiency. For example, under hard acceleration, the powertrain transforms to a lower static. Meanwhile, higher gears for cruising speeds demands increased CR’s. The result is smooth and steady shifting, all the way through.
To further impress, this cutting-edge setup also features what the INFINITI automakers call an “Active Torque Rod.†This world’s-first active mount vibration damping mechanism is used to reduce noise and feedback under the hood. As if it needed another reason to stand out, the QX50 is the only automobile in its class to offer the ATR.
