2021 INFINITI QX80: Overview

 

 

  • New 'SENSORY,' 'PREMIUM SELECT' and 'LUXE' grades
  • New Smart Rearview Mirror (SRVM) system offers improved high-definition clarity and a wider screen size for enhanced visibility
  • MSRP for the 2021 QX80 starts at $69,050 for 2WD and $72,150 with INFINITI All-Mode® 4WD

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the 2021 model year, the INFINITI QX80 full-size SUV offered in the United States has been improved with added equipment, innovative new technologies and stylish features befitting its luxury status. INFINITI has announced the MSRP for the new 2021 QX80 full-size luxury SUV, which has been updated to push boundaries with distinct exterior and interior features. The  2WD QX80 will start at $69,050 and the All-Mode® 4WD will be $72,150.

A new 'SENSORY' grade sits at the top of the revised QX80 line-up. Occupants will experience a sumptuous cabin featuring quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, Charcoal Burl trim and a new graphite tricot headliner for a handcrafted, tailored feel. The exterior features stylish 22-inch forged alloy wheels and chrome mirror caps, both of which add to the QX80's elegant appearance. INFINITI's Hydraulic Body Motion Control System is also included for enhanced cornering stability and a smoother ride at all speeds.

The new 'PREMIUM SELECT' grade brings a series of exterior trim enhancements first seen on the limited-run 2020 QX80 'Edition 30.' Dark chrome and black highlights the QX80's front grille, fender vents, door mirror caps and rear tailgate strip. The commanding stance is heightened with the fitment of dark chrome 22-inch forged alloy wheels. Three stylish interior trim colors are also available; including 'Graphite' and new 'Truffle Brown' and 'Sahara Stone' with a revised Matte Brown accent trim.

The QX80's entry-level 'LUXE' grade features a range of standard driver-assist technologies available as standard. Blind Spot Intervention® (BSI®), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Distance Control Assist (DCA), a Rear Seat Belt Reminder and an updated Intelligent Cruise Control system are all included, while Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ continue to bring enhanced connectivity across the QX80 range.

All grades now feature the second generation of INFINITI's innovative Smart Rearview Mirror (SRVM) system. SRVM, which first appeared on the QX80 with the model's last major update in 2018, switches between a regular mirror and an LCD monitor to display a high-definition image from a rear-mounted camera. It enables drivers to see clearly when passengers, cargo or lighting conditions obstruct the driver's rear view. A wider 9.6-inch diameter display, high resolution camera and LED Flicker Mitigation Technology ensure enhanced visibility for added confidence behind the wheel.

INFINITI QX80 in summary

The INFINITI QX80 is a full-size luxury SUV – the flagship of the INFINITI range. It combines bold proportions and a commanding exterior design with a spacious, high quality cabin with room for seven or eight passengers. Effortless performance, advanced drive-assist technologies and taut yet refined dynamics allow for a relaxing and confidence-inspiring drive.

With a powerful 5.6-liter V8 engine driving the rear or both axles, the QX80 is a consummate performer in all driving conditions. A smooth-shifting seven-speed automatic transmission seamlessly channels the engine's ample power and torque reserves for an assured feeling of control behind the wheel.

2021 INFINITI QX80 AT A GLANCE

The INFINITI QX80 is the flagship of the brand’s bold SUV lineup – which includes the highly advanced QX50 mid-size luxury crossover and the family oriented QX60. The QX80 is a powerful, full-size SUV created with an inclusive luxury mindset, offering premier amenities for every passenger.

QX80 remains a popular choice for luxury buyers in North America. For the 2021 model year, the flagship QX80 full-size luxury SUV offers a number of enhancements; including three model grades – LUXE, PREMIUM SELECT and SENSORY. The 2021 QX80 SENSORY will be offered with a new graphite headliner and an enhanced frameless Smart Rear View Mirror with improved resolution and increased size.  The new for 2021 QX80 PREMIUM SELECT offers unique dark chrome exterior trim accents and 22” dark chrome, forged aluminum wheels alongside two all new interior colors Sahara Stone and Truffle Brown with a new Matte Mocha Brown Burl accent trim.

Added as standard for 2021 on all QX80 models are:

  • Blind Spot Intervention
  • Lane Departure Prevention
  • Rear Seat Belt Reminder
  • Distance Control Assist
  • Intelligent Cruise Control

The 2021 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. Every QX80 also includes standard power liftgate and power sliding glass moonroof with one-touch open/close. All QX80 models continue to stand apart with a refined and spacious cabin that features high-quality materials, a hand-crafted finish, and advanced driver-assist technologies.

The 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 seats standard on the QX80 SENSORY. In addition, all models come equipped with INFINITI Navigation System with Lane Guidance and 3D building graphics.

The QX80 comes standard with a new for 2021 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. The new frameless Smart Rear View Mirror has improved resolution and increased size (from 8.7” to 9.6” diameter).

All QX80 models come equipped with an advanced 5.6-liter DOHC V8 engine rated at 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 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. 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 standard on SENSORY.

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 assists 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. 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 SENSORY.

The QX80’s extensive suite of advance technology systems includes standard Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention (BSI), Backup Collision Intervention, Lane Departure Warning Lane Departure Prevention, Intelligent Cruise Control and Distance Control Assist.

The 2021 QX80 is available in three well-equipped models: QX80 LUXE, PREMIUM SELECT AND SENSORY.
