The QX50 innovates by offering the first production, variable-compression engine on the market. It produces both power and high fuel economy, with 268 horsepower on tap, managed by a continuously variable automatic transmission. This compact SUV’s cabin also features a choice of materials and colour schemes that stands out from the competition. In addition, we find above-average cargo space, a dual-touchscreen infotainment system and, on option, a 16-speaker Bose sound system.
