The engine

VC-Turbo

2.0L Variable-Compression Turbo I4

The world's first production variable-compression engine, it continuously morphs between an efficient high-compression mode and a powerful low-compression mode, delivering V6-like output with four-cylinder economy.

More than 20 years in the making at Nissan-Infiniti, the VC-Turbo made its production debut in the 2019 QX50 crossover.
