The 2019 INFINITI QX80 has a Starting MSRP of $65,100, pushing it within the budget of lavish spenders who don't mind splurging on luxurious accessories. Here's a closer look at everything big and bold you can find in the all-new QX80 SUV.
Exterior
Once you discover the Luxe trim's standard features like integrated LED lighting, a tinted glass moonroof, and power rear liftgate, you may consider settling right then and there. Once you get a look at the Limited trim and its even sportier features, you just might change your mind. This top trim opts for bigger aluminum-alloy wheels, satin chrome accents, and signature Limited badging on the rear hatch.
Performance
The 2019 INFINITI QX80 can produce up to 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque via a 5.6-liter 32-valve V-8 engine. Add in dry-coated pistons, direct injection, and continuously variable valve timing, and you have an engine blueprint that's got power to spare.
The electronically controlled seven-speed automatic transmission does well for itself. You'll certainly feel the heightened performance flowing from this SUV's four-wheel active brake limited-slip differential and adaptive shift control, ideal for downshift rev matching.
Interior
You'll feel right at home inside the QX80 thanks to ample hip, shoulder, and headroom. Additionally, the 152.5 cubic feet of guest volume and 95.1 cubic feet of available storage space make it easy to meet your diverse passenger and cargo needs. Comfort is further enhanced thanks to a lumbar-supported power driver's seat, second-row captain's chairs, and reclining third-row seats.
You also won't have to struggle to see things when you find yourself surrounded by dim lighting. The QX80 boasts a set of dual overhead front map lights and rear lights so you can stay on top of your reading no matter the time of day.
Technology
What more could you ask for from a luxury vehicle that has a 13-speaker Bose sound system, SiriusXM satellite radio, and an 8-inch InTouch infotainment hub? How about the Limited's Bose cabin surround-sound system with 15 speakers and convenient wireless headphones for music, movies, and game entertainment?
Safety
INFINITI didn't forget to stock the 2019 QX80 with a few brilliant features. These include an Around View Monitor with moving object detection, side-impact supplemental air bags, and forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
The Limited further impresses with a set of active safety systems, including backup collision intervention, intelligent cruise control, and lane departure warning. These features make it easy to get from point A to point B without getting into a fender bender. We're sure you'll agree the higher price of the Limited is worth it to ensure the safety of your passengers and yourself.
Are you currently shopping for a new luxury vehicle but aren't quite certain what model or brand suits you best? It can seem like a daunting task test driving SUVs that just don't feel right for you, but taking the 2019 INFINITI QX80 out for a spin might be just what you need.
