The VC-Turbo engine is nothing short of a revolutionary industry breakthrough. Utilizing an advanced multi-link system, the VC-Turbo is able to automatically adjust its compression ratio on-the-fly and at running speed. While other engines are trapped within a fixed compression ratio – providing the same balance of power and efficiency regardless of the situation – the VC-Turbo constantly adapts, raising or lowering its pistons’ reach seamlessly, variably and continuously.

This all works to provide QX50 with both the power and strength of a sprinter as well as the efficiency and endurance of a marathon runner, responding smoothly and capably to driver input and the needs of each unique on-demand situation.
