Powertrain – INFINITI Dealership near Denver, CO
The beating heart of the INFINITI is a 3.5L V6 twin-turbocharged engine rated up to 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, tuned for confident takeoffs and refined passing. That robust torque anchors QX80’s standard 8,500-lb towing capability and pairs smoothly with available All-Mode 4WD® for year-round confidence near Denver, CO. On-ramps feel effortless; two-lane passes feel unforced. Tailored driveline calibration prioritizes smooth, predictable response that suits daily life and long road trips equally well. BMW X7’s lineup spans a 375-hp inline-6 in xDrive40i to a 523-hp V-8 in M60i and an ALPINA-tuned V-8 at the top, with a 7,500-lb maximum tow rating when factory-equipped with a hitch. Those are impressive numbers, yet families often value usable torque, quiet operation, and towing peace of mind as much as peak output. In this respect, QX80’s standard high-capacity towing, available Trailer Blind Spot Warning, and camera-driven hitch-assist tech provide calm, repeatable capability—weekend after weekend.
