LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor – How the 2025 INFINITI QX55 Makes Birmingham, MI Drives Smoother With VC-Turbo Power and ProPILOT Assist
The 2025 INFINITI QX55 blends standout design with engineering that reduces the friction of daily driving. Two technologies do a lot of the heavy lifting: INFINITI’s VC-Turbo engine and ProPILOT Assist. Together, they make the QX55 feel quick without being frantic, calm without being disconnected, and smart without feeling complicated. If you want a vehicle that can ease a Birmingham, MI commute and still feel alive on the weekend, this is a compelling place to start.
VC-Turbo is the heart of the QX55’s personality. Rather than locking in a single compression ratio, the engine continuously varies that ratio to match the moment. Need passing power onto Woodward? The system favors a low compression setting and unleashes torque. Cruising to a dinner reservation? It transitions to a higher compression ratio for smooth, quiet efficiency. Because the engine adapts in real time, you get strong acceleration with a naturally refined character. Paired with the Xtronic transmission’s clean, linear response and standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the powertrain feels eager yet composed, tuned specifically for that coupe-crossover sweet spot.
ProPILOT Assist adds a different kind of confidence. By coordinating Intelligent Cruise Control and Steering Assist, it helps maintain a pre-set distance and keep you centered in your lane on the highway. You remain in command, but routine trips become less tiring. This system is especially useful on I-75 or I-696 at rush-hour speeds, when the ability to manage following distance and gentle steering inputs preserves energy and focus. Because ProPILOT Assist integrates with existing driver habits, it supports you in a way that feels intuitive, not intrusive.
QX55 tech extends beyond these two pillars. The dual-display INFINITI InTouch® interface offers wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and included access to INFINITI InTouch® Premium services for three years on new 2025 models equipped with InTouch® services. Add in an available Bose Performance Series audio system, a cabin trimmed in available semi-aniline leather with Monaco Red, Stone, or Graphite colorways, and you have a space that’s as personal as it is premium. The result is a vehicle that connects seamlessly, sounds exceptional, and looks stunning from every angle.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is VC-Turbo and how does it work?
VC-Turbo varies the engine’s compression ratio on the fly to balance strong power with smooth efficiency. It adjusts mechanically and electronically so the QX55 can feel energetic when you press the accelerator and serene when you cruise.
Is ProPILOT Assist the same as self-driving?
No. ProPILOT Assist is a driver assistance system. You remain responsible for steering, braking, and attention, while the system helps with lane centering and adaptive cruising on the highway.
Does the QX55 support wireless smartphone integration?
Yes. The INFINITI InTouch® interface supports wireless Apple CarPlay, along with Android Auto integration, plus included INFINITI InTouch® Premium services for three years on new 2025 models equipped with InTouch® services.
When a vehicle’s hardware and software are this well aligned, it shows up in the drive. The QX55 feels cohesive—quick without drama, stable without harshness, and smart without fuss.
