BEIJING – The all-new #Infiniti QX50 premium SUV made its first appearance in Asia today at Auto #China. Built in a new manufacturing facility in Dalian, the QX50 features world-first technologies, stand-out design and unrivaled interior space.  The new QX50 pairs INFINITI's signature Powerful Elegance design with the company's innovative VC-Turbo engine, the world's first production-ready variable compression ratio engine.

"The QX50 is one of the most important vehicles we've launched here in #China," said Roland Krueger, chairman and global president of #Infiniti Motor Company. "Building it in #China, for #China, reinforces our commitment to the world's largest car market. The QX50 is the first of five new vehicles we are building in #China over the next five years. Customers will appreciate the attributes of the QX50, including its striking design, versatility and advanced technology. QX50 features semi-autonomous drive capability and is the first vehicle in the world to be powered by an engine that can vary compression ratio on the fly, thanks to our groundbreaking VC-Turbo engine."

INFINITI's all-new four-cylinder 2.0-liter VC-Turbo (Variable Compression Turbo) gasoline engine is the world's first production-ready variable compression ratio engine, and is one of the most advanced internal combustion engines ever created.  VC-Turbo technology combines the power of a high-performance 2.0-liter turbo gasoline engine with the torque and efficiency of an advanced four-cylinder diesel – without the equivalent emissions – offering a compelling alternative to diesel engines.
