Variable Valve Timing

The engine of the GX is intensified by Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), a system that continuously monitors the engine's speed and load, and responds by delivering optimum power in each situation. It increases torque at lower speeds for better pulling power and boosts overall power at higher speeds for better acceleration.
