Key Features of the 2026 INFINITI QX80
3.5L V6 Twin-Turbocharged Engine
At the heart of the QX80 is a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 that delivers up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with a polished, near-effortless character. This powerplant—rooted in the performance lineage of INFINITI’s acclaimed engines—has been tuned for the QX80’s full-size stature, resulting in smooth surges of power for highway merging, confident mountain passes, and assured towing. The engineering emphasis is on refinement as much as muscle. You feel strong yet measured acceleration, discreet shifts, and a quiet composure that suits luxury travel. Around town, the QX80 behaves with light-footed responsiveness that belies its size. On the open road, it settles into a serene rhythm that helps ease the miles. It’s this balance—robust capability with subtle sophistication—that defines the flagship driving experience.
All-Mode 4WD®
Available All-Mode 4WD® helps the QX80 deliver traction and stability in changing weather and on varied surfaces. The system is engineered to continually adjust power distribution between front and rear wheels for optimal control. Paired with the QX80’s refined chassis tuning and features like Dynamic Digital Suspension that help reduce body roll and vibration, the SUV maintains a poised feel over broken pavement and undulating highways alike. The benefits are tangible in everyday life: smoother commutes on stormy days, more surefooted family trips to mountain towns, and a reassuring sense of control when surfaces get slick. For drivers who value seamless confidence without a complicated learning curve, All-Mode 4WD® makes going where you want to go feel naturally easy.
Electronic Air Suspension
This available system is a first for INFINITI, and it adds a layer of practical luxury you’ll appreciate immediately. The QX80 can lower itself to aid entry and exit, reducing the stretch for small children and making it simpler to load cargo. Out on the road, the suspension can raise for added ground clearance, helping you navigate snow-packed streets or the unimproved roads that often lead to the best weekend escapes. The tuning focuses on plush, controlled responses—so rougher surfaces are smoothed over without the float that can diminish driver confidence. The result is the feeling of an elevated ride in every sense: easier to live with at low speed, more composed at high speed, and better prepared for the routes you take between.
Dual 14.3-inch Monolith Displays with Google built-in
The QX80’s cabin tech centers on two stunning 14.3-inch Monolith displays that make every interaction clear and effortless. INFINITI InTouch® is standard and powered by Google built-in for integrated access to Google Assistant and an ecosystem that gets smarter over time. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ keep your favorite apps at your fingertips without the clutter of cables. Available onboard 5G Wi-Fi supports connections for passengers, while thoughtful touches like Remote Climate Control, Additional Driver profiles, Connected Garage Door via myQ®, Walk Away Status alerts, and the available INFINITI Dash Cam Recorder show how deeply integrated the system is with daily life. It’s technology that feels second nature: intuitive, responsive, and always ready when you are.
Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio
Audio can transform a drive, and the available Klipsch® Reference Premiere system brings a segment-first partnership into the QX80 with up to 24 speakers and up to 1000 watts of power. The result is exceptionally lifelike sound—crisp detail, deep yet controlled bass, and a broad soundstage that fills the cabin evenly. From podcasts on the morning commute to the playlists that power a weekend road trip, the system stays composed and engaging at any volume. In the second row, clarity remains excellent, helping passengers enjoy the same premium experience as those up front. This is more than premium audio by name—it’s a precisely engineered system that elevates time in the vehicle, turning quiet miles into meaningful moments.
