The base variant of the Infiniti QX80 has been curated to satiate the needs of the traditional buyers in the segment. The Limited variant feels more sought after with additional features; however, it is priced excessively higher than the base trim. Standard features available with the Infiniti QX80 include trailer hitch receiver, daytime running lights, and dual-zone climate control.

The Infiniti QX80 comes equipped with a standard 5.6L V8 engine that is capable of producing 400hp and 413lb.-ft of power and torque respectively. The Infiniti comes attached to a 7-speed automatic shiftable transmission and is available with either a rear-wheel or an all-wheel drivetrain. 

The QX80 sprints from a still to the 60 MPH mark in 6.2 seconds, which is impeccable for a car of its size. However, in the quarter-mile run, the Infiniti QX80 is the slowest car clocking a total time of 15.1 seconds. While its top-speed 133 MPH, Infiniti’s engine scores highly when reliability is concerned.

In comparison, the Lincoln Navigator is the only SUV in the segment that makes use of a V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Cadillac Escalade is equipped with a V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Cadillac is both the fastest and quickest SUV in the segment clocking 5.8 and 14.3 seconds in the acceleration test and quarter-mile sprint respectively.

The segment that features big and brawny SUVs like the Infiniti QX80 generally score-less in terms of fuel efficiency and so is this case with the current iteration as well. The QX80 averages 13 and 19 miles per gallon of fuel in the city and on the highway respectively. Combined, the not-so-efficient Infiniti manages 15 MPG, which is the lowest in the segment. Its fuel tank has a total capacity of 26 gallons and can cover a total distance of 338 and 494 miles in the city and on the highway respectively.

In comparison, both Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator manage higher efficiencies of 17 and 16 MPG respectively. On the other hand, the Lincoln Navigator’s mammoth fuel capacity has a capacity of 33-gallons and helps it gain ascendancy over its competitors by virtue of its range.

The Infiniti QX80’s cabin is its strongest suit and features first-grade materials that add a tint of opulence and plushness to the overall design. While there are several practical amenities packed into the cabin, the use of wooden accents looks excessive, covering the majority of the dashboard. There is ample storage space available inside the cabin that increases usability. The infotainment system that sits centrally draws a lot of attention is striking in its display. 

The Infiniti QX80 can seat 7-passengers and there is abundant space available. While the rear seats feel cramped with restricted space, the comfort for all occupants remains top-notch with a ride quality that does not deteriorate even on uneven patches. The cargo capacity is abundant and has you covered even on long drives and weekend trips. With all seats in an upright position, there is a total of 16.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity which can be further increased to a maximum of 95.1 cubic feet.

In comparison, all three SUVs have a seating capacity of seven passengers. The Lincoln Navigator is the most logical choice considering that it has the maximum amount of space and its third-row seats also feel decent and have ample legroom. Besides passenger space, Lincoln Navigator also has a maximum cargo capacity of 128.2 cubic feet, whereas the Cadillac Escalade manages only 94.2 cubic feet. Some standout interior features include:

• Heated Steering Wheel
• Interior Air Filtration
• Three Zone Climate Control
