Performance

The 2021 INFINITI QX50 extracts 268 net horsepower from a 2.0 L engine. Adopting the world’s first production-scale Variable Compression Turbo design, the four-cylinder powertrain unleashes 280 pound-feet of peak torque at a tachometer reading of at least 1,600 RPM. Using normal aspiration, the 2021 Lexus RX350’s 3.5 V6 engine peaks at only 268 lb-ft of torque. Despite its much larger displacement, this six-cylinder powertrain simply doesn’t match the stunning capability of the small VC-Turbo engine. Augmented by the all-new Active Torque Rod, the turbo engine operates quietly at various RPMs. The 2021 INFINITI QX50 online test drive also covers information on the Direct Adaptive Steering, which monitors the steering system up to 1,000 times each second.
