Apparently Infiniti will be coming out with a new 2.0l turbo engine, what are the chances the brands QX50 suv could get this engine to become an even closer rival to the NX?

I think that the QX50 has been due for a new generation for a while now, so it seems to me that a big part of that update could be the inclusion of a new engine. Both are supposed to be sporty SUVs, and at this point I don't think that Infiniti can afford to be trailing too far behind when it comes to performance since they already aren't the most successful luxury brand out there.

didn't realize that and it is a good point, looks like infiniti will be late to the game with their NX rival

i heard about some vehicle they have in china that's called the ESQ, seems like that could have been suitable as a qx30
