Remember the Infiniti QX Monograph concept that stole the show last year? Buckle up because that stunning design has landed almost unchanged as the all-new 2025 Infiniti QX80. This full-size luxury SUV is here to redefine the segment with its imposing presence, advanced technology, and focus on interior comfort.
Monumental Presence, Uncompromising Luxury
The first thing that strikes you about the QX80 is its sheer size. This behemoth stretches over 17.5 feet long, with a chunky body that sits on a traditional frame. Infiniti proudly calls it an "anti-wedge profile," with a nearly flat hood extending forward and a tall greenhouse that offers excellent visibility. The signature Infiniti double-arch grille is illuminated and flanked by vertically oriented headlights and vents. The finishing touch? Sleek, blacked-out trim and available black roof that creates a two-tone effect.
Move inside, and the QX80 pampers you with a leather-clad sanctuary. The focus is on spaciousness, with a particular emphasis on the second and third rows. Compared to the outgoing model, there's 18% more space behind the second-row seats and a whopping 54% increase behind the third row. Exact figures aren't available yet, but Infiniti promises a total of 161.1 cubic feet for passengers and cargo.
While Infiniti remains tight-lipped about the lower trims, the range-topping Autograph trim boasts a panoramic moonroof, massaging seats, a tri-zone climate control system, and a premium Bose sound system. Tech takes center stage with a digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, and a massive infotainment touchscreen that integrates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Power and Performance for the Discerning Driver
Infiniti hasn't revealed the official engine details yet, but rumors suggest a familiar 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 will be under the hood. This tried-and-tested powerplant should offer ample muscle for effortless highway cruising and towing hefty loads. Expect a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive, with an optional all-wheel-drive system for those who crave extra traction in all weather conditions.
Safety First: A Suite of Driver-Assistive Technologies
The 2025 QX80 prioritizes passenger safety with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. This includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. Infiniti might also offer a semi-autonomous highway driving system, but official confirmation is pending.
When Will It Arrive and How Much Will It Cost?
Infiniti has yet to announce the official release date for the 2025 QX80 but expects it to hit dealerships sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. Pricing information is also under wraps, but considering the significant upgrades and the segment it competes in, a starting price of around $90,000 wouldn't be surprising.
