The 2025 Infiniti QX80 marks a significant shift, moving away from its traditional V8 engine to a more modern twin-turbocharged V6. This change not only boosts horsepower by 50 but also promises enhanced fuel efficiency, appealing to contemporary luxury SUV buyers.
Infiniti has loaded the new QX80 with a suite of advanced technology and premium features. Highlights include an available wide-view front camera, expansive infotainment screens, a high-end Klipsch premium audio system, and indulgent second-row massaging seats. Furthermore, the integration of the latest ProPilot Assist 2.1 active driving assistance system positions the QX80 as a strong contender in the competitive luxury SUV market, aiming to attract discerning customers.
The pricing structure for the 2025 QX80 reflects its elevated status and feature set. The entry-level Pure trim with rear-wheel drive starts at $82,450. Moving up the range, the Luxe 4WD is priced at $92,650. The Sensory 4WD breaches the six-figure mark at $100,645, and the top-tier Autograph 4WD commands $110,595. This represents a notable price increase compared to the outgoing 2024 QX80 models, which ranged from $74,150 to $88,450. Adding to the cost is a substantial destination charge of $1,995.
Consumer Reports recently spent two weeks evaluating a QX80 Autograph, rented directly from Infiniti. Their initial assessments highlight key observations for potential buyers. While Consumer Reports does not plan to purchase a QX80 for their long-term testing program, they intend to acquire and test the redesigned Nissan Armada, suggesting a focus on the QX80’s more mainstream sibling for broader market analysis.
For those interested in a detailed expert review, Consumer Reports members have access to their initial assessment of the Infiniti QX80. Further road-test results and comprehensive vehicle ratings are expected to be released in their Cars email newsletter, encouraging prospective buyers to stay informed about this updated luxury SUV.
