How does the Variable Compression Turbo engine of the 2025 QX55 respond to driver input compared to other turbocharged engines?

The Variable Compression Turbo engine in the 2025 QX55 is designed to enhance performance by adapting its compression ratio in response to driver input. This capability allows the engine to optimize efficiency and power on demand. Unlike traditional turbocharged engines, which operate at a fixed compression ratio, this variable system can instantly select the most suitable compression ratio based on driving conditions and how aggressively the driver accelerates. This results in a more responsive driving experience, as the engine can provide more horsepower when needed while maintaining efficiency when cruising or driving at lower power levels.

The other options do involve aspects of engine performance, but they do not capture the unique feature of the variable compression system, which is primarily focused on dynamically adjusting the compression ratio to improve responsiveness and fuel efficiency.
