September 3, 2020



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.&nbsp; 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.
