Impressive Infiniti Technologies that stand out

Infiniti offers its owners a remarkable level of technology in its vehicles. Here are a few highlights that you will find on new Infiniti models.

Variable Compression Turbo

When it comes to innovative technology, Infiniti is a step ahead of other luxury automakers and it’s all because of its impressive variable compression turbocharged engine. Available on the new Infiniti QX50 compact luxury SUV, the Infiniti VC-T engine takes the best parts of a V6 and a four-cylinder engine. Thanks to innovative technology that took over two decades to develop, the VC-T engine can modify the height reached by the piston in the cylinder in order to modify the compression ratio. This matters because the compression ratio plays a direct role in determining both performance and efficiency. 

With the capability of modifying the compression ratio on the fly, you can enjoy better fuel economy when you don’t need top-of-the-line performance, but you also get top performance when you want it. The VC-T engine can move the ratio from 8:1 to 14:1 and therefore can offer V6-level performance with four-cylinder fuel consumption. It averages less than 10 litres per 100 kilometres and yet gets to 100 km/h in around 6 seconds. Visit us today to learn more about the brand-new VC-T engine and why it’s so innovative. 

Advanced Safety Technology

Buyers want the very best safety technology from their vehicles, especially luxury vehicles. Technology can improve connectivity as well as safety, and when it comes to innovative safety technology, Infiniti is a trendsetter in the industry. The Japanese luxury automaker has a wide range of advanced active safety technologies that make you and your passengers safer every day. Let’s have a look at some of Infiniti’s most impressive technologies. 

Predictive Forward Collision Warning

Just about every vehicle in the world now offers Forward Collision Warning which detects the vehicle ahead and can respond if it breaks suddenly. At Infiniti, we understand that the vehicle ahead isn’t the only variable that matters. The other vehicle ahead also matters, and Infiniti’s PFCW system can also detect that vehicle. Thus, your Infiniti has a better chance of picking up a sudden braking situation or other dangers that you may not see with your own eyes. 

ProPILOT

ProPILOT is a system designed to improve both comfort and safety. Comfort because the system can keep your Infiniti in the middle of the lane automatically and follow curves which reduce fatigue, and safety because ProPILOT combines distance control systems and an Intelligent Cruise Control system. In other words, ProPILOT can monitor the road ahead and react to other vehicles coming into your path and avoid accidents if you don’t react. 

Backup Collision Intervention

Backing up can be a pain, especially in a crowded parking lot or out of a hidden driveway. The BCI system will detect vehicles coming towards you perpendicularly even if you can’t see them and warn you. If you don’t react, the vehicle can brake automatically to avoid a collision.
