Nissan's new VCR engine: worth the effort?

摘要

Announced at the 2016 Paris Motor Show, Nissan's new Variable Compression Ratio engine - known as the VC Turbo - pushes the pause button, at least momentarily, on the company's journey to a completely electrified-vehicle future. Fully productionized as the KR20DDET, the 2.0-L VC Turbo debuts in the all-new 2019 Infiniti QX50 compact luxury SUV. It will gain considerable production scale in its second announced application, the 2019 Nissan Altima.
