Exterior rear-end view of a white 2020 INFINITI QX50 | INFINITI dealer in Ellisville, MOThe INFINITI QX50 is a luxury crossover SUV unlike any other on the market. Here’s a look at some of the features on the 2020 INFINITI QX50 that will have you riding in style for the new year.

Engine

The QX50 features INFINITI world’s first Variable Compression (VC) Turbo engine. This 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine uses an advanced multi-link system to continuously adjust the compression ratio of each piston. Whereas normal engines are stuck with a single compression ratio, the VC-Turbo engine automatically adjusts on the fly. The result is an engine that instantly provides up to 268 horsepower on demand and 280 pound-feet of torque, and it can reduce that power in exchange for more efficiency when the power isn’t necessary.

Performance

The performance of a luxury vehicle should be smooth and quiet. To achieve this, the QX50 uses an Active Torque Rod to dampen noise and engine vibration. The Active Torque Rod positioned on the upper engine mount provides a counter-balance to the engine’s vibrations, reducing noise and the natural vibrations of the engine, particularly when accelerating.
