Infiniti QX80

Overview: Is the Infiniti QX80 a Good Luxury SUV?

Originally dubbed the QX56, the Infiniti QX80 entered the automaker's lineup for the 2014 model year. The revised nameplate was part of Infiniti's restructuring of its alphanumeric naming standards. This overview reflects the 2014 and newer QX80 model years through 2024. An all-new Infiniti QX80 is set to debut for the 2025 model year. Other Infiniti SUV models (all crossovers) in the current lineup include the QX50, QX55, and QX60.

The Infiniti QX80 blends imposing styling with luxurious accommodations for a distinctive full-size utility formula. This truck-based Infiniti SUV seats up to eight passengers, and its potent V8 engine routes power to either the rear or all four wheels. Upgrades like semi-aniline leather seats and premium audio pamper occupants, while its rugged underpinnings help it tow up to 8,500 pounds. The QX80 is the upscale version of the Nissan Armada. It competes with larger SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade, Genesis G80, and the Lexus LX.

Comfort, Technology & Cargo

Cavernous cargo capacity and power-folding seats enable versatile people or gear-hauling capability.
