2019 Infiniti QX80

The 2019 INFINITI QX80 LUXE Sport Utility 4D stands as a towering, brilliantly engineered monument to full-size global luxury, anchoring the second generation of INFINITI’s premier flagship platform. Built on an exceptionally rigid, heavy-duty truck-based ladder frame layout, this massive eight-passenger mechanical powerhouse completely shuns the fragile driving dynamics of modern crossover vehicles. It pairs the immense towing muscle and structural durability of a traditional body-on-frame platform with the whisper-quiet, vibration-isolated tracking composure of a first-class highway cruiser. The premium LUXE trim operates as the absolute centerpiece of elite executive transportation, packaging command-style exterior presence, a world-class executive boardroom sanctuary, and advanced vehicle-speed-sensitive chassis engineering straight from the factory. It functions beautifully as a high-status mobile workspace during the demanding corporate workweek, effortlessly smoothing out tight urban grids and transforming instantly into an unstoppable, long-distance interstate cruiser capable of commanding valet stands with absolute premium poise.
Under the massive, elegantly sculpted aluminum-alloy hood sits an absolute masterpiece of linear American muscle and legendary Japanese durability: a highly responsive 5.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 engine featuring advanced VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology and Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG). This high-output, naturally aspirated mechanical heart hammers out a fierce 400 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and a robust, low-end 413 lb-ft of torqueavailable at 4,000 RPM. This immediate engine muscle is managed by a heavy-duty, smooth-shifting 7-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission featuring adaptive shift control, downshift rev-matching logic, and driver-selectable manual shift modes. Rocketing this massive luxury SUV with a predictable, uninterrupted wave of acceleration, power is routed to the pavement via an agile rear-wheel-drive configuration or INFINITI’s available All-Mode® 4WD system. This intelligent four-wheel-drive layout features low-range gearing and works hand-in-hand with an electronic traction network to automatically transfer power to the tires with the most grip, ensuring absolute structural composure through deep mud trails, heavy winter snow, or sudden highway downpours.
The driving experience is completely characterized by its signature, magic-carpet ride quality, exceptionally flat cornering posture, and rock-solid tracking stability, courtesy of a performance-tuned four-wheel independent suspension system utilizing double-wishbones front and rear, an automatic load-leveling rear air suspension block, and an available Hydraulic Body Motion Control system. This advanced hydraulic network continuously monitors body lean through tight bends, actively cross-piping hydraulic fluid between shock absorbers to minimize body roll without compromising the vehicle's plush ride comfort. On the exterior, the 2019 QX80 LUXE executes a stunning styling triumph of pure athletic functionality, geometric precision, and an undeniable, towering road presence. The aggressive front fascia is anchored by a prominent, double-arch chrome mesh grille layout, flanked by large functional lower air intakes, integrated fog lamps, and striking automatic LED headlights with signature eyebrow-shaped daytime running light arrays. Elegant, wind-tunnel-carved body contours feature polished chrome window surrounds, side cargo vents, heavy-duty roof rails, integrated running boards, deep-tinted rear sun-screening privacy glass, and aerodynamic power-folding heated auto-dimming side mirrors with integrated turn signals and entry puddle lamps. The commanding stance rolls proudly on striking 20-inch or available 22-inch multi-spoke machined aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in premium heavy-duty all-season tires that perfectly complement its wide-track stance and generous ground clearance
