WHY CHOOSE THE INFINITI QX80

When you need an SUV that blends genuine craftsmanship with real-world capability, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is built to make every journey feel effortless. Under the hood, its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 delivers 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque—giving you substantial passing confidence compared to the Audi Q8’s 335 horsepower when merging onto I-270 or pulling out into traffic. Where the two truly part company, however, is in how they accommodate your life: while the Audi Q8 is strictly a two-row, five-passenger vehicle, the QX80 gives you three genuine rows of seating for up to eight passengers, alongside a massive 101.0 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity and an 8,500-pound tow rating that makes trailering a boat or camper simple. Inside, INFINITI’s hospitality-inspired cabin envelops everyone in intuitive amenities—from available Biometric Cooling that adjusts temperatures automatically to dual 14.3-inch high-definition displays with Google built-in and an available 24-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere audio system. With available All-Mode 4WD® providing surefooted peace of mind across slick Ohio winter roads and longer standard powertrain warranty protection, the QX80 is designed to serve as a warm, dependable sanctuary for all your travels.
