The INFINITI QX80 is the flagship of the brand's bold, wide-ranging SUV lineup – which includes the highly advanced QX50 mid-size luxury crossover, the family oriented QX60 and the urban adventure oriented QX30.

Commanding exterior design
The 2019 QX80 continues the bold interpretation of INFINITI's Powerful Elegance design language with unmistakable INFINITI signature design elements. It features a commanding presence with powerful muscularity, enhanced horizontal movement and iconic double-arch grille and signature headlamps.

Another INFINITI signature, the crescent-cut D-pillar lies parallel with the roofline. Like the shoulder line, the elegant design of the D-pillar enhances the horizontal aspect of the QX80's upper body. Every 2019 QX80 also includes standard power liftgate and power sliding glass moonroof with one-touch open/close.

QX80 LUXE models come equipped with cast 20-inch six-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, finished in dark silver paint and are wrapped in 275/60R20 H-rated all-season performance tires. Forged 22-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with low-profile 275/50R22 all-season performance tires are optionally available. Three new QX80 LIMITED features unique 22-inch dark-finished forged aluminum-alloy wheels.

Upscale interior luxury
Along with the new LIMITED, the QX80 LUXE and QX80 LUXE AWD models continue to stand apart with a refined and spacious cabin that features high-quality materials, a hand-crafted finish, and advanced drive-assist technologies.

The high-quality, handcrafted 2019 QX80 interior is one of the most luxurious, highest-quality passenger compartments created by INFINITI to date.

Every QX80 comes with a standard 10-way power driver's seat, including 2-way power lumbar support, along with an 8-way power passenger's seat, including 2-way power lumbar support.  Heated front seats are standard on LUXE models, with heated and cooled front seat standard on the new QX80 LIMITED. Comfortable 2nd row captain's chairs with tip-up easy entry for 3rd row and a power 60/40-split fold-flat and reclining 3rd row bench seat complete the seating. For QX80 owners desiring 8-passenger seating, a 60/40-split 2nd row bench seat is optionally available. Leather-appointed seating is standard for all three rows, including semi-aniline leather appointments with color-contrast piping.

Two advanced audio systems are also offered. The standard Bose® 13-speaker Premium Audio System includes two subwoofers and rear headliner-mounted 3rd row speakers that help ensure that sound quality is not compromised by obstructions such as luggage or cargo. Also available is the Bose® Cabin Surround® sound system with 15 speakers, which is standard on QX80 LIMITED and optional as part of the Sensory Package.

In addition, all models come equipped with INFINITI Navigation System with Lane Guidance and 3D building graphics The 2019 QX80 is also available with the advanced Smart Rear View Mirror. The “digital” mirror allows the driver to use the rear-view mirror as a standard mirror, or turn it into a monitor at the touch of a button.

Empowering performance and safety
Both QX80 LUXE and QX80 LIMITED models come standard with an advanced 5.6-liter DOHC V8 engine, delivering ample on-road performance. Combining the combustion efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline, and the responsive acceleration of VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology, the V8 engine produces 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with a smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission featuring Adaptive Shift Control and manual shift mode with Downshift Rev Matching.

The 2019 QX80 is available with two-wheel drive or INFINITI All-Mode 4WD, the latter enabling four-wheel traction when conditions dictate it and off-road capability when the driver demands it. With optimal all-season power delivery, the rear-biased drivetrain defaults to rear-wheel drive, continually adjusting power distribution between front and rear axles.

Along with a responsive 4-wheel independent suspension, the QX80's unique available Hydraulic Body Motion Control technology limits excess body-roll under more severe cornering. It is optional on LUXE models and standard on the new QX80 LIMITED.

The QX80's standard Rear Auto-Leveling Suspension automatically adjusts suspension pressure to maintain an optimum ride height with cargo in the trunk or a trailer on tow. This allows the QX80 to tow up to 8,500 lbs, and carry up to 95.1 cu ft of interior cargo volume with third- and second-row seats folded. By keeping the vehicle at an optimal height, the QX80 remains stable and continues to offer responsible handling and braking, improving driver confidence when towing or carrying heavier loads.

Stopping is provided by large 4-wheel disc brakes. Two steering systems are offered – engine-speed sensitive power-assist on LUXE and vehicle-speed-sensitive power-assist on LIMITED (optionally available of LUXE).

The QX80's extensive suite of advance technology systems includes standard Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and Predictive Forward Collision Warning. Also available on LUXE models and standard on LIMITED are Backup Collision Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-Speed Range), Blind Spot Warning and Intervention (BSI), Lane Departure Warning and Prevention and Distance Control Assist . The QX80's standard Around View® Monitor with Front and Rear Sonar includes Moving Object Detection.

The 2019 QX80 is available in three well-equipped models: QX80 LUXE, QX80 LUXE AWD and QX80 AWD LIMITED. The available packages include ProASSIST, Split Bench Seat Package, Theater Package, 22-inch Wheel Package, Sensory Package, ProACTIVE and Premium Paint.
