2025 Infiniti QX80 Overview

What’s new: 

  • There are no changes at all to the 2025 Infiniti QX80. 
  • New technical features have been added to the layout. 
  • A supercharged V6 takes the place of the V8. 
  • The QX80s from 2025 are the third generation.

Infiniti’s biggest and most expensive SUV will finally get a full update in 2025 after a painful 14 years with no major changes. The old QX80 was remade for a short time, which made it one of the least competitive cars in its class, even though the QX50 and QX60 were both completely redone. Infiniti’s much better third-generation QX80 makes up for this. The new flagship SUV can do SUV tasks, but it also exudes luxury and offers cutting-edge technological improvements. It has a roomy interior and can pull up to 8,500 pounds. 

The new QX80’s cabin is luxurious, uses cutting-edge technology, and is made of premium materials. However, the most important improvement in the new QX80 was in technology. The new 14.3-inch twin display panels have great pictures and show the newest Infiniti infotainment system. It’s a big improvement over the old method because it includes Google products like Maps. A Klipsch sound system and a set of cutting-edge driving aids called ProPilot Assist 1.1 are also included as standard equipment. A new technology called ProPilot Assist 2.1 lets you drive without using your hands on some roads. The engine is now a 450-horsepower turbocharged V6, which gets two more miles per gallon than the old V8 and makes 50 more horsepower and more than 100 lb-ft of torque. 

The 2025 QX80 is a much better car than the last model. Even though it looks good, the Infiniti has to deal with tough competition from the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, which are both big and beautiful. Both of these cars will get major updates by 2025. The Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are more luxurious and comfortable than the QX80, despite being smaller.

Pros 

  • Great interior design and the newest technologies.  
  • There is plenty of room for travelers in all three rows. 
  • A lot of pulling power.

Cons 

  • It could be smoother to ride in than some other SUVs. 
  • Being so big can make getting around town hard.

How does the QX80 drive? The QX80’s supercharged V6 engine has enough low-end power to make city acceleration and highway speeds easy. The gearbox also shifts well. The biggest problem is with the engine’s starting and stopping in the powertrain. The engine is slow to start up and takes a long time to turn off when you stop. Even though it’s meant to help save gas, this technology will be much less noticeable in a high-end car. 

It weighs more than three tons, which is a lot of weight for an SUV. During our performance tests, the brake system worked well, with only a few short panic stops. The QX80 mostly gives the impression of being a large SUV. It takes some work to park because it takes some work to turn. Corners still have a lot of roll and lean, but the air suspension keeps the body from moving too much.

How much comfort does the QX80 offer? The QX80 has three rows of seats. The seats in the first and second rows can be heated, cooled, and massaged, and the seats in the third row can also be warm. The seats have enough side support and the right amount of padding to keep you in place. But the comfort of the ride changes a lot. When driving in cities, the QX80 rides a little too hard for comfort, but it’s very smooth and easy to drive on the highway. 

The QX80 is quiet on the street. The engine only makes a little noise if you press hard on the gas pedal. Laminated windows and a well-insulated cabin also lessen wind and road noise.

How is the inside? The inside is nice and has a lot of space. The third row has a limited amount of room, but people should be able to use it for short trips. Power-sliding second-row seats and air suspension make it easy to get in and out of the car. This will lower the QX80 when it’s stopped, making it easier to get in and out. 

The front seats are very flexible, so it should be easy to get into the driving position you want. The QX80 is usually easy to see out of, but the tall hood may make it hard to see what’s in front of you. The surround-view camera makes parking a lot easier and gives you many useful views.

How does the tech work? The QX80’s entertainment system works with Google to let you use voice commands, find your way, and do other things. In general, the user experience is quick and simple, which is a great thing. Google Maps can be used without a Google account, but having one enhances the experience with the Google interface. You can connect your phone wirelessly to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay if you’d like to use them. With so many USB-C ports spread out over all three rows and a wireless charging pad, it should be easy to charge while you’re on the go. 

The Infiniti QX80 has some high-tech features to help the driver, such as limited hands-free highway driving. It looks amazing on paper, but when we tested it, we found that the technology needed to be more advanced than the Super Cruise in the Cadillac Escalade.

How are things with the storage? One of the best things about this type of SUV is that it can pull a trailer behind it, and the QX80 does just that. The Infiniti’s highest tow rating of 8,500 pounds is higher than almost all other cars in its class, except for the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. 

For such a big, expensive SUV, the load capacity could be a lot higher. The QX80 offers 22 cubic feet less space behind the third row compared to the Cadillac Escalade and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The second and third rows are folded down in the same way. Lucky for us, there are lots of slots in the front for small things like sunglasses, parking cards, and telephones. If you add the optional cooled center bench, drinks will stay cold on long trips. It’s deep enough to hold tall water bottles. When the air suspension is down, it’s easy to put in a child seat. Anchors are easy to get to in the second and third rows of chairs.

How much fuel does it use? The EPA estimates that the Infiniti QX80 will achieve 18 mpg on the highway with rear-wheel drive and 17 mpg with four-wheel drive. Only a few cars in this class get great gas mileage, so it’s about the same.

Is the QX80 worth buying? The price of the Infiniti QX80 is about the same as other cars in the same class. Even though other brands offer four-wheel or all-wheel drive as normal, we like how many features this one has. The trim and seats are made of good materials, and our test car didn’t rattle or have finish or fit problems. The QX80 comes with a basic warranty from Infiniti that lasts for four years and 60,000 miles, a powertrain warranty that lasts for six years and 70,000 miles, and roadside help that lasts for four years and 60,000 miles.

Compared to other cars in its class, the Infiniti QX80 has a unique, luxurious, and very Japanese look. We wish that driving was more fun.

The Luxe is the best value for money, even though the base Pure style has many great features. The Luxe has power-folding second-row seats and a changeable air suspension that make life easier and the ride more comfortable. Two other things that expensive cars should have are real leather seats and air vents in the seats. You can drive hands-free on some roads if you add ProPilot Assist 2.1.
