@@CarInfluence623 I’ve been in both, the Infiniti rides poorly and has a ton of body roll, the Acura rides smoothly and doesn’t have much body roll, at least that’s my experience, hypotethically speaking if they both drove the same, I would like them both equally
I have a 2023 Nissan Rogue, so far so good. I'll report back if and when I experience any mechanical issues with the engine and transmission. My Rogue was built in Japan so hopefully I will luck out.
@@CarInfluence623 yes I have a 2021 Nissan Altima SR 2.0 Turbo. It’s damn fast. 0to60 times are about 5.7 seconds. But I have been having issues with the Turbo valves and cv axles are clicking again 10k miles after replacing. They have done strut mounts as well under warranty multiple motor mounts. My Altima has been at the dealership about 12 or more times this year alone. I currently have 46k miles. CVT transmission seems ok for now. But I am definitely worried now after having so much problems. We were a Nissan Familyfrom 2005to 2024. But these last gen’s of Altimas are rattling and have some issues still. I’ve had 2 2019 2.5 models sr with No issues. But the 2021 is a problems child with the turbo. Tomorrow I am going to look at a 2024 Mazda CX 50 2.5 Non turbo. No more turbos for me.
mdx feels very cheap , uncomfortable , lots of noise from engine bay , feels very light . I have 2 Infiniti q70 5.6 qx70 5.0 , they are well made , comfortable , 120000km not even a single noise . I have mdx also , my wife hates it so much .
1:10 - While it's true that ammonia engines do not emit CO2, they do emit NOx (Among other nitrogen emissions) which is an indirect GHG. Combustion engines also require lubricants, and naturally small amounts of lubricants leak into the combustion chamber, especially in older and poorly maintained engines. When these burn, they will emit CO2 among other pollutants and GHG's. 2:05 2:20 - Ammonia engines are supposedly more powerful than EV motors, but can only produce 160hp? Even the Model 3 RWD (The cheapest Tesla) produces over 300hp, and many modern 2L I4 gas engines produce over 200hp. 3:09 - Ammonia has 3x less energy density than gasoline, so to even match the range of a gas car, it would need either a 3x larger fuel tank, or to run 3x more efficiently. Unless it's a more complex dual-fuel ammonia engine, it can at best match the efficiency of gasoline engines. 4:44 - Lithium is NOT becoming more scarce. There are tons of lithium mines opening up as we speak. In fact, the US had many lithium mines shut down in the 90s and early 2000's due to competition from China. They're now being reopened due to the high demand. Ammonia is *not* a viable replacement for gasoline, it is just a hydrogen fuel with extra steps. Why not just use the hydrogen fuel instead of turning it into a the less efficient ammonia? There's also the fact that most hydrogen these days is produced through steam reformation of natural gas, so you would have to change natural gas into hydrogen, then change the hydrogen into ammonia, and then chill the ammonia into a liquid. Of course, you could just use electrolysis to turn water into hydrogen, but for that you need lots of electricity when you could just use that electricity to charge an EV battery. See? Ammonia just doesn't make any sense!
Ammonia engines 🙂😀😆😅😂😁🤣! Ammonia are made from hydrogen. >98% of all hydrogen are made from petrol product. 6-8% of the worlds energy are used to refine oil. Not including the extraction, drilling, pumping, and transporting the oil and oil products. Numbers from Norway shows that you need 5% more electrictrisity to charge all vehicles if they where electric. Oil as fuel for cars are just stupid. And, a waste of energy. You could drive EV's longer than a fossil car just on the energy you use to make the fuel for those fossil cars. Then you got the oil subsidies. They are at $US 9.000.000.000.000. (International Monetary Fund Numbers). In 2025 the subsidies are forcasted $US 11.000.000.000.000. Today a fossil car are subsidized $US 28.125 (1/4 of all oil are used as fuel for cars, with 80M cars made). Fossil cars smogs up your neighborhood. This kills millions of people every year. Ammonia engines polution more Nox. So, the health benifit is not better. So, you got a solution that waste more energy, are probably more expensive, and kills the same amount, or more people. This is insanity on steriods!
@@CarInfluence623 actually there are an error, here. It's just produced 72M car this year. So 9T / 4 /72M = $US 31.250 for every fossil car. This is a stupid amount of money!
Ammonia is atill required for fertilizer so if this fuel was used for cars food price would go up also ammonia requires alot of Energy to create so its still not quite as efficient as electric it still seems good for trucks maybe
They're still internal combustion engines. And lets not forget the deaths before Freon from leaks in ammonia A/C systems. "yes, the family would have survived the crash, but the fuel leak killed them."
I love all these new clean technologies. I hate how are pushed to the small consumer. I mean,if this engine is so great why they don't make first huge naval engines?! You don't have the problem of refueling those because it's easier to build a few hundred big ones around the world than millions small ones for the cars.
Point made….but I also feel it’s a marketing ploy as well to see which type of tech the population likes/gets excited about. Everything makes money but they are also possibly looking to appease consumers also. 🤔🤔
REALLY ? And HOW is ammonia manufactured ? By syngas through a reformer which produces EVEN MORE CO2 ! And the Nitrogen efflux ? WHY, that converts to NOX ! WONDERFUL ! DUH.
