AutoExec Summary
The Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 may switch from petrol V6 to turbo four-cylinder power, similar to the Toyota Kluger. The QX60 already uses a 2.0-litre turbo engine in China and the US, offering improved fuel economy. While there is no confirmation yet for the Pathfinder, both SUVs share technology and production lines. The new engine promises better fuel economy but no hybrid option is available. The QX60’s turbo engine delivers 200kW and 388Nm, with a nine-speed automatic transmission and VC-Turbo technology. Infiniti reports fuel consumption figures for the QX60, with all-wheel-drive versions slightly higher. Despite slow sales, Nissan and Infiniti have seen success in the past, but recent sales figures for the Pathfinder have declined.
