But Infiniti is coming to the 2019 model year with luxury appointments on a new platform with a revolutionary power plant under the hood. Infiniti is adding to its already substantial SUV line with the QX50, a luxury midsize crossover laden with new technology. “The variable compression technology Infiniti is debuting in the QX50 represents a major breakthrough in both performance and efficiency.”What's new? The ability to allow the VC Turbo to choose its own compression ratio makes this power plant an “engine engineer’s dream,” said Shinichi Kiga, Nissan’s chief power train engineer. The VC Turbo is also 20 kilograms lighter than the engine it replaces, Kiga said, but costs no more to manufacture.
