NEW 2023 Infiniti QX80 Monograph Redesign Interior & Exterior | Release Date and Price | First Look
The 2022 Infiniti QX80 looks attractive and upscale, its interior is sturdily built, and its smooth ride and strong engine are both satisfying. Theoretically, all these traits should amount to a compelling large, three-row, luxury SUV, right? Wrong. That's because apart from the Infiniti badges, it's fundamentally a gussied-up Nissan Armada, which also happens to cost significantly less. Sure, there are some small differences between the two, but it's not enough to justify the upcharge or close the gap to the QX80's more desirable alternatives such as, well, everything else in this class. For those still interested in the largest Infiniti, its fully independent suspension delivers a tranquil ride and its 400-hp V-8, albeit fuel-thirsty, sounds good and provides ample thrust. Still, in most ways the 2022 QX80 can't keep up with newer and ritzier rivals.
What's New for 2022?
For 2022, the QX80 benefits from a brand-new infotainment system and revised center stack. Gone are the unintuitive dual screens and the unremarkable climate controls. Now there's a prominent 12.3-inch touchscreen with more desirable features such as wireless Apple CarPlay. Directly below it sits a redesigned HVAC control panel with buttons and knobs that looks classier and is easier to use than before. The QX80 also now comes with a wireless smartphone charger hidden behind a retractable panel beneath the climate controls.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Luxe - $71,995
Premium Select - $76,780
Sensory - $83,630
Given that even the price of the mid-level QX80 Premium Select brushes elbows with that of the Mercedes-Benz GLS450 and the BMW X7 xDrive40i, we'd stick with the entry-level Luxe trim. It offers plenty of luxury features to keep occupants happy, such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel with heat, second-row captain's chairs, a 13-speaker Bose stereo system, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and adaptive cruise control.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The QX80 teams a 400-hp 5.6-liter V-8 with a seven-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The last version we tested ran from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. While that's speedy given this SUV's size, every other competitor we tested was even quicker. Still, we loved the engine's smooth power delivery and snappy throttle response. Too bad it was hard to hustle on the highway, with a transmission that hesitated to downshift. But around town, this Infiniti galloped with grace, its exhaust note growling after heavy-footed accelerator applications. A comfortable ride couldn't make up for the fact that the QX80 felt less athletic than the GLS450. So if you're looking for a mega-luxury SUV with sharp driving dynamics, you should look elsewhere; the Infiniti's serene character will satisfy buyers who want to be coddled. The QX80 can tow 8500 pounds in either the rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configuration, which beats the Mercedes's rating by 800 pounds.
