2019 Infiniti QX50

Completely redesigned a few years ago, the 2019 Infiniti QX50 brings revolutionary technologies to the Canadian market and a fresh design both inside and out. Beyond its looks, the QX50 also packs one of the most unique engines in the industry, the brand new VC-T engine. VC-T stands for Variable Compression Turbocharged engine. As the name suggests, this is a powertrain with the ability to modify its compression ratio, which is something you won’t find on any other engine in the industry at the moment.

Sophisticated and highly advanced, the 2019 Infiniti QX50’s VC-T engine develops 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, yet its fuel economy numbers are improved by 30% over a comparable V6 engine.

The VC-T engine can vary the compression ratio from 8:1 to 14:1 depending on what is needed by the driver. When power is needed, the compression ratio is lowered and you get more punch from the engine. When you don’t need power, the compression ratio increases to promote better fuel economy.

In other words, you really get the best of both worlds with the Infiniti QX50 and its VC-T engine. When you’re cruising along at a consistent speed, fuel economy is much lower than what you would normally expect from a compact luxury SUV with 268 horsepower. That said, when power is needed to pass or accelerate, the compression ratio lowers and you get an instant reaction from the QX50.

Along with its revolutionary engine, the brand new 2019 Infiniti QX50 also gets a new platform that makes extensive use of Super High Formability (SHF) steel, which reduces the weight of the structure while also improving rigidity. This translates into a more balanced vehicle that is safer and more comfortable.

Combine the VC-T engine with this new platform and a host of advanced driving technologies like the brand new ProPilot automated driving system, which allows the new QX50 to shine in every category and you get one of the most anticipated new luxury SUVs of 2019.
