QX50 Diesel

Would it sell? Nissan has access to lots of diesel engines. It could be done

I think it would but in what current markets Infiniti is in that they would sell it in?
Seems like diesels almost never makes it to america

 

[justspace]

they dont have any diesels here.. so a qx50 would be a first if they did

I would like to see it here, it's one of the best models to drop a diesel in as their first. On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely do you think this is to happen?

This would be neat to see in a manual transmission

I'm driving a Passat TDI diesel. It's doesn't seem that slow off the line, and I just love the torque and acceleration; its a very dynamic feel around town (even though the 0-60 time isn't anything to brag about). Mazda has been promising a diesel.

It could be fun in a QX50.

Q: How do diesel and CVTs play together?

If we’re talking about the upcoming QX 50, a diesel engine would bring no benefit, the whole point of the Variable Compression engine being to deliver diesel like torque at take-off and gas like performance when cruising, in effect the best of both worlds and with the extra bonus of lesser pollution.
