Unveiled earlier this year in a breathtaking display over Manhattan at the New York International Auto Show, the 2025 QX80 sets a new benchmark in its segment with unparalleled hospitality, meticulous attention to detail, and advanced technology for an effortless driving experience. Showcasing the latest evolution of INFINITI’s Artistry in Motion design language, the QX80 boasts a striking design that combines minimalist forms with intricately crafted details. Many elements draw inspiration from natural, organic shapes, such as the way light reflects on rippling water, while integrating cutting-edge features like a rear combination lamp with over 300 individual LED bulbs.

The QX80 surpasses the expectations of a three-row luxury SUV by offering a first-class experience for all passengers. The interior impresses with refined touches like available massaging seats in the first and second rows, semi-aniline leather upholstery, and open-pore ash wood trim with laser-cut metal inlays. An available 24-speaker Klipsch ® Reference Premiere audio system delivers a crisp, immersive sound to all three rows. Advanced features include the Invisible Hood View, allowing drivers to virtually see through the engine bay to navigate obstacles, and Biometric Cooling, which uses an infrared sensor to automatically direct cooling air to overheated second-row passengers.

Like all INFINITI luxury models, the brand-new QX80 offers an exhilarating and commanding driving experience. Its new twin-turbo V6 engine delivers acceleration with 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, giving it more power than ever before. The available Electric Air Suspension allows for adjustable vehicle heights to accommodate different situations, such as lowering the SUV when parked to ease loading and unloading. Additionally, the available Dynamic Digital Suspension fine-tunes the damping force based on road conditions, ensuring a smooth, stable, and comfortable ride.

“The all-new QX80 showcases the best of INFINITI and delivers on our goal of redefining the luxury automotive experience,” said Craig Keeys, group vice president, INFINITI Americas. “We are honored that Newsweek Autos recognized QX80, which delights drivers with outstanding craftsmanship, next-level technology and a commanding driving experience.”
