INFINITI

INFINITI offers luxurious passenger vehicles with innovative technologies for American consumers. Besides having upscale amenities, some cars from this Japanese brand have efficient mechanical installations. Here’s an overview of some of the most fuel-efficient models from the 2022 INFINITI lineup.

2022 INFINITI Q50
The 2022 INFINITI Q50 sedan packs a standard 3.0-liter engine block with a compact platform. Two turbochargers supplement this V-6 powertrain, which generates 300 net horsepower. Cooled by water and air, the turbocharging units ensure efficient combustion cycles. This six-cylinder powerhouse has electric-controlled intake valves and hydraulic-operated exhaust valves. When the crankshaft spins faster than 1,600 RPM, it unleashes 295 pound-feet of torque. Running on a rear-wheel drive system, this executive-style sedan has a maximum fuel economy of 29 mpg on the highway. If you upgrade to the 400-hp engine block and the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, you will get approximately 26 mpg on the highway. Both turbo engines are synced with a seven-speed automatic transmission system. A highly intelligent algorithm predicts your upcoming shifting patterns based on previous actions. Two coolers also keep the entire gearbox cool in the summer season. Additionally, this high-end INFINITI sedan has the Active Trace Control for proper handling on roads with significant curves and other nonlinear layouts. 

2022 INFINITI QX55
As a compact crossover SUV, the 2022 INFINITI QX55 is naturally efficient and nimble. This five-seat model is powered by a 2.0-liter engine block with exclusive mechanical technologies. The Variable Compression Turbo engine operates differently than all other engines previously made by Nissan. When maximum fuel economy is desirable, the VC-Turbo powertrain will create the corresponding compression ratio during the downward stroke of combustion. By contrast, most turbo and naturally aspirated engines on the market create a fixed compression ratio. The Electric Valve Timing Control System is another all-new mechanical technology that’s incorporated into the unique powerplant. This luxurious INFINITI crossover SUV harnesses 268 net horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque from the turbo engine. A CVT system with paddle shifters transmits power to the standard Intelligent AWD system. The proprietary Direct Adaptive Steering also ensures more efficient and consistent handling on the road. The 2022 QX55 earns average EPA ratings of up to 28 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city. An integrated rear spoiler creates some additional aerodynamic enhancements for this sporty family car.
