Infiniti QX50 uses a total of two engines, one is a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It is also equipped with a 3.7L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 173kW and a peak torque of 253Nm, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Infiniti QX50 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the Infiniti brand. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, and comes with the ADAS intelligent driving assistance system. In terms of body dimensions, the Infiniti QX50 measures 4705mm in length, 1903mm in width, and 1681mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2798mm. It is a five-door, five-seater SUV.
As a car enthusiast talking about the QX50's engine, it currently uses an awesome VC-Turbo 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Its variable compression ratio technology is truly impressive—it automatically adjusts the compression ratio based on driving conditions to save fuel or boost power. In daily driving, it delivers 268 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, providing smooth acceleration without guzzling fuel. I've noticed this engine is used across multiple markets, with both domestic and imported versions equipped the same way. Routine maintenance is similar to a regular 2.0T, but long-term reliability depends on regular upkeep. If you're concerned about fuel economy, it averages around 8-9L/100km in city driving and is even more efficient on highways—adjusting the compression ratio for instant fuel savings at high speeds. Overall, this innovative design breaks the limitations of traditional fixed compression ratios, making the QX50 a high-value SUV, especially for tech-savvy owners.
