英菲尼迪近日在北美车展发布了QX50概念车，车厂表示，这款中级CUV向人们展示了未来中级跨界车设计方向。QX50外形顺滑，而非传统跨界车采用方正造型。它的车头采用车厂标志性双拱形格栅，两侧是向后延伸LED前大灯。引擎盖折线一直延伸至A柱。车身侧面可见粗壮的肩线从前大灯一直延伸至车身。拱形车顶引导出D柱。尾灯组造型与前大灯呼应，向两侧包裹住肌肉感轮拱。车厢内采用高档内装材质，包括真皮和实木材料。车内营造了对于驾驶员来说非常舒适的环境。中控台的信息娱乐系统显示屏可提供各种驾驶员辅助系统以及其他所有有用的功能。该车搭载了车厂的Variable Compression Turbo引擎，这台2.0升引擎功率200千瓦/268马力，扭矩390牛米。该引擎的压缩比可在8:1至14:1之间调节，以取得燃油经济性和舒适性之间的平衡。车厂计划用该引擎替代目前的3.5升V6引擎。

Infiniti QX50 concept is the brand's preview of future CUV
Infiniti is giving the world a closer look at the QX50 concept. The company says that the mid-size CUV previews the look of its future models in the popular segment.

The QX50 is a sleeker evolution of the traditional crossover’s somewhat boxy look. In front, there’s the latest take on Infiniti’s double-arch grille with sweeping LED headlights on each side. Creases in the hood then flow to the A-pillar. In profile, the taut shoulder line extends the headlights’ point down the length of the body. The arching roof leads to the jagged D-pillar. The taillights echo the shape of those in front and wrap around the muscular fenders.

Inside, Infiniti shows off high-end materials, like buttoned leather and attractive wood finishes. It looks like a very comfortable place to take a drive. The infotainment screen at the center of the dashboard would offer information about the various driver assistance systems, in addition to all the usual functions of such a display.

Infiniti plans the QX50 concept around its forthcoming Variable Compression Turbo engine. In its production-ready form, the 2.0-liter forced-induction mill produces a maximum of 268 horsepower (200 kilowatts) and 288 pound-feet (390 Newton-meters). The tech can adjust compression between 8:1 and 14:1 as necessary to balance fuel economy and performance. The company reportedly plans to use the powerplant as a replacement for the current 3.5-liter V6.
