2020 INFINITI QX80 Review
from the Cars.com expert editorial team
What Is the 2020 Infiniti QX80?
The 2020 Infiniti QX80 is a full-size SUV that seats seven with second-row captain’s chairs. Seating capacity increases to eight with the available second-row bench seat. The QX80 is powered by a standard 400-horsepower, 5.6-liter V-8 engine that works with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Rear- and all-wheel-drive models are available, and competitors include the Lexus LX 570, Lincoln Navigator and Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.
What’s New on the 2020 Infiniti QX80?
Infiniti has given its flagship SUV a significant multimedia system update for 2020. The QX80 gets a new generation of the dual-screen InTouch multimedia system that Infiniti has used elsewhere in its lineup. The system includes HD displays and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Meanwhile, the instrument cluster gets a new 7-inch color screen, and a Bose Performance Series audio system is available. New standard safety features include blind spot warning, lane departure warning, backup collision intervention and a rear-seat reminder.
What Features in the 2020 Infiniti QX80 Are Most Important?
The QX80’s powerful V-8 engine makes it a capable and luxurious towing vehicle, with a maximum trailering capacity of 8,500 pounds when properly equipped. In addition to the SUV’s newly standard active safety features, it also has standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
Should I Buy the 2020 Infiniti QX80?
The QX80 is upscale, powerful, comfortable and offers solid towing capability. The third row is a little cozy for adults, however, and cargo space behind the third row measures just 16.6 cubic feet. That’s likely fine for routine errands but may not be enough for long-distance road trips with plenty of friends along for the ride. Though the V-8 engine delivers a lot of grunt, gas mileage is poor.
