2016 Infiniti QX80 is bold, efficient


It starts with a breathtaking presence, a calm strength derived of clean, fluid lines that attract and hold your attention. It continues with the highest level of luxury, not just for the driver and front seat passenger, but all occupants – world class, personalized control over their environments for passengers in every seat in the house.
The Infiniti QX80 is designed to attract and hold viewers’ attention, conveying its underlying sense of power and strength. The design is dynamic, its size capable of transporting up to eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance.

Available in Base, Signature, AWD, Signature AWD and Limited models, power for the QX80 is generated by a VK56VD 5.6L V8 prime mover that features Infiniti’s advanced VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology and Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) system. The standard seven-speed automatic transmission features Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and manual shift mode with Downshift Rev Matching (DRM).

The QX80 is offered in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with the 4WD model featuring Infiniti’s proven All-Mode 4WD system with Auto, 4H and 4L modes. The system is designed to distribute torque to all four wheels when road conditions warrant (up to 50 percent can go to the front wheels on demand), helping to enhance traction.

The QX80 rides on a high-stiffness frame structure that enhances ride comfort while reducing noise, vibration and harshness. The control hardware features an independent double-wishbone design front and rear, with Dual-Flow Path twin tube shock absorbers and an automatic rear leveling system that seeks to maintain uniform ground clearance and departure angle, even when towing or carrying cargo, by automatically adjusting the air pressure in the system's air bladders.

Inside the distinctive QX80 body is an interior long on luxury, including standard Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System, Around View Monitor, Bose 13-speaker Premium Audio System, available perforated semi-aniline leather seating and an available Tri-Zone Entertainment System with dual seven-inch color monitors, which allows different sources to be played at the same time. The QX80 also offers ample 1st row and class-leading 2nd row roominess.
