Save at the Pump with INFINITI

If you're ready to reduce your carbon footprint or find ways to save more money this year, fuel consumption is one of the best places to start. INFINITI has engineered the models in its lineup to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, INFINITI keeps the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

INFINITI’s variable valve timing technology is used in many engine options to increase performance as well as fuel economy and efficiency. It works by altering the timing of the valves by shifting the phase angle of the camshaft. If that sounds like a bunch of jargon you don’t really care about, just know that VVT equals better efficiency. This technology is used throughout the INFINITI lineup on most models.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like variable valve timing can improve efficiency, so can turbochargers. The application of turbochargers may have started with the desire for faster vehicles, but it has an extra benefit. By using a turbocharger, INFINITI can use a smaller engine with less horsepower without creating a vehicle that feels sluggish. Small turbos provide the power you need to merge onto highways or pass another car but don’t drink fuel when you’re just driving normally. A great example is the Q60 equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. With 300 horsepower, you might expect this car to be expensive at the pump but the premium sedan still achieves 28 mpg on the highway.*

Variable Compression

INFINITI developed a revolutionary technology to improve efficiency without sacrificing performance. The variable compression engine responds to throttle inputs. When casually driving, the compression is lower to conserve fuel. However, when you need power, the compression increases offering amazing performance. The flexibility of this technology is truly the next level of fuel efficiency.
