The all-new INFINITI QX50 is a premium mid-size SUV with world-first technologies, stand-out design and class-leading interior space – all on an entirely new platform. The QX50 also features a VC-Turbo engine, the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine, which delivers driving pleasure and efficiency in equal measure, transforming on demand.
The INFINITI QX50, powered by the VC-Turbo, is the first production vehicle ever to give drivers an engine that transforms on demand, setting a new benchmark for powertrain capability and refinement. Here is a series of infographics that reveals design and engineering details of the new QX50.
The Videos are interesting - Dave
