It has the numbers to back up its positioning, measuring over 210 inches long, packing a 450-hp turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, and being capable of towing 8,500 pounds. All trims employ a 9-speed automatic transmission. 4WD is an option on the RWD Pure and Luxe, but standard on the Sport and Autograph. Newly redesigned for MY2025, the QX80 is still fresh and comes with a modern digital cockpit with large display screens and excellent safety credentials.2027 Infiniti QX80 Autograph in Mineral Black and Graphite Shadow 2-toneInfinitiWhat's New for 2027The 2027 QX80 remains completely unchanged, except that the ProPilot Assist 2.1 package is now offered on the Luxe trim. This package enables hands-free highway driving on pre-mapped highways.2027 Infiniti QX80 interiorInfinitiExteriorFull-size SUVs are expected to have a towering presence, and the QX80 delivers with a tall, upright stance, a bluff nose, and a big double-arch grille (finished in Dark Chrome on the top two trims). Slanted horizontal LED DRLs sit high up, with vertically stacked LED headlights below them. Along the side, the flush door handles deploy automatically, and there are fixed running boards and 20-inch alloy wheels – or 22 inches above the base Pure trim. A panoramic moonroof, power-folding mirrors, a motion-activated power liftgate, and perimeter/approach lights are standard. The Sport has blacked-out trim and roof rails.2027 Infiniti QX80InfinitiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe Pure has TailorFit leatherette upholstery, heated power front seats with memory, a power-adjustable and heated steering wheel trimmed in leather, tri-zone climate control, remote start, a 14.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a 14.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, navigation, Wi-Fi, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and a 14-speaker Klipsch audio system. Higher trims gain leather upholstery, ventilated front and 2nd-row seats, massaging front seats, air suspension, and a 24-speaker Klipsch audio system.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe cabin is roomy, and the third row is usable for adults over shorter distances, while still retaining decent cargo space behind (see figures). Dual 2nd-row captain's chairs are standard, but the Luxe can be optioned with a 3-seater bench at no extra cost.2027 Infiniti QX80 Autograph with Burgundy interiorInfinitiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2027 Infiniti QX80's price starts at $85,590.Trim LevelTrim NameMSRPBase trimPure (RWD)$85,590Top trimAutograph (4WD)$112,990Best valueLuxe (4WD)$94,590The Luxe 4WD makes the strongest value case, adding 4WD, 22-inch wheels, air suspension with adaptive damping, leather upholstery for the first and second rows, ventilated front seats, power-reclining and ventilated 2nd-row seats, a head-up display, and more to the Pure for $11,000.

It is a great representation of an accomplished luxury SUV with a classy cabin, multiple big digital displays, and the option to turn it into an 8-seater. It also avoids the base suspension system, which makes for an unacceptably choppy ride. There are few downsides, and these are mainly the (expected) mediocre gas mileage, the snug third row, and the occasional transmission hesitancy at low speeds.2027 Infiniti QX80 Sport in Mineral BlackInfinitiCompetitorsCadillac EscaladeLincoln NavigatorJeep Grand WagoneerMercedes-Benz GLSLexus LXAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 1, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
