The 2026 INFINITI QX80: Performance, Features, and Full-Size Flair

Between weekday school drop-offs, Costco runs, dinner plans, and the occasional “why not?” drive to breathe—it’s a lot. And while you’re juggling work calls, coffee cups, and carpool playlists, your vehicle better be doing more than just existing. It should be performing. Protecting. Comforting. Impressing your in-laws. Basically, doing the most like you do.

That’s where the 2026 INFINITI QX80 waltzes in. A full-size luxury SUV with swagger, soul, and the space of a Manhattan loft. It’s still in production, but what we know so far is enough to make Ramsey families take notice.

What’s New: Exciting Updates Are Rolling In

The newest version of the QX80 is ready to break out of the mold. No more blending in or riding on the coattails of its Nissan Armada sibling—this model finally has its own bold identity. From brawnier performance to refined luxury, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 features are being reimagined to meet the needs of modern families who want it all: style, strength, and smart functionality.

Here’s what’s coming:

• Introduction of a new Sport package for enhanced presence and driving character
• Bold new exterior design with Infiniti’s signature grille and lighting
• Available retractable running boards for sleek convenience
• High-end materials like open-pore wood and etched metal inside
• Second-row seats that match first-class comfort
• Upgraded audio systems for immersive listening

Performance That Understands Jersey Life

Engine: All Muscle, No Noise

The heartbeat of the 2026 INFINITI QX80? It’s a newly unleashed 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that throws out the old V8 playbook and replaces it with a whole new rhythm. Think 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque that doesn’t just growl—it glides. It’s the kind of engine that lets you power through traffic with confidence, not crossed fingers and prayers.

This isn’t just performance for performance’s sake—it’s power built for real-world rhythm. The 2026 INFINITI QX80 performance gives you the muscle you need and the control you want.

Transmission: Shift Happens—Smoothly

Pair that thrilling engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and what you get is more than just smooth shifting—you get a symphony of motion. Every gear change is seamless, smart, and built to keep up with the demands of life on tight schedules and even tighter turns. It’s the secret sauce that turns all that raw power into drivable finesse.

Speed: From Starbucks to 60 MPH in 6.8 Seconds

When you unleash that V6 and let the nine-speed transmission do its thing, something magical happens. This nearly three-ton marvel clocks 0 to 60 in 6.8 seconds—and no, that’s not a typo. That’s full-size luxury SUV speed that makes big feel nimble and turns everyday drives into small triumphs.

Fuel Economy: Big SUV, Fair Trade-Off

Sure, it’s not sipping fuel like a hybrid, but it’s reasonable for its size—16 mpg city / 19–20 mpg highway. That’s a solid return for a luxury SUV of this scale in a region where the driving doesn’t exactly let up. The 2026 INFINITI QX80 mpg isn’t about frugality—it’s about giving you freedom, mile after mile.

And when it comes to making that power a part of your life, our finance department is here to make it happen. From flexible financing plans to lease options tailored to your goals, our team breaks down the numbers and simplifies the process without the stress.
