First Drive: Elegant 2025 Infiniti QX80 Is Brimming With Power, Luxury, and Safety Features
Clever touches and innovative tech elevate this full-sized SUV into prestige territory
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 joins the six-figure club in its highest trims, as the redesigned full-sized SUV piles on power, luxury, and safety features. The automaker says this is the first model in its new product renaissance, giving importance to the refined styling and abundant electronic features as previews of things to come in other Infiniti vehicles.
It is clear at a glance that this QX80 is more modern and upscale than the long-running SUV it replaces, which was launched for the 2011 model year with the QX56 name. The redesigned QX80’s premium features and aesthetics promise to move it even further away from its corporate sibling, the Nissan Armada, and align it well with the finest, full-sized competitors, such as the Cadillac Escalade, Lexus LX, and Land Rover Range Rover. As before, this is a body-on-frame design but with fully independent suspension.
