“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.”
Introduced earlier this year in a stunning display above Manhattan ahead of the New York International Auto Show, the all-new 2025 INFINITI QX80 redefines its segment with extraordinary levels of hospitality, curated attention to detail and technology that delivers a seamless, effortless drive. Featuring the latest interpretation of INFINITI’s Artistry in Motion design language, QX80 has a powerfully evocative design that combines minimalist forms with precisely crafted details. Many key elements are inspired by natural, organic shapes, like light reflecting on rippling water, while incorporating the latest technologies, such as a rear combination lamp that comprises more than 300 individual LED bulbs.
QX80 exceeds expectations of a three-row luxury SUV by bringing a first-class cabin experience to all on board. The interior delights occupants with elevated touches such as available first- and second-row massaging seats, semi-aniline leather-appointed upholstery and open-pore ash wood trim featuring laser-cut metal inlays. An available 24-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere audio system immerses all three rows in crisp, powerful and lifelike audio. Advanced technologies include Invisible Hood View1, which helps drivers navigate obstacles by virtually seeing through the engine bay, and Biometric Cooling2, which uses an infrared sensor to automatically direct cooling air to overheated second-row passengers.
As with all INFINITI luxury vehicles, the all-new QX80 also rewards clients with a powerful, commanding driving experience. A new twin-turbocharged V6 engine provides effortless acceleration with 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Available Electronic Air Suspension provides varying vehicle heights for different scenarios, including lowering when parked for easier loading of cargo and people, and available Dynamic Digital Suspension precisely tailors damping force to road conditions for a smooth, stable and more comfortable ride.
The 2025 INFINITI QX80 is on sale now in limited supply with a starting MSRP3 of $82,450. For detailed specifications, including full pricing, photos and videos, please see the full 2025 INFINITI QX80 press kit.
