2026 Infiniti QX80 – Complete Review
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 feels like a new chapter in what a luxury SUV can be. From the outside, it turns heads before you even start the engine. Inside, it feels more like a lounge than a vehicle. The drive blends power with smoothness, making it equally ready for city errands in Guelph or a weekend trip to the Bruce Peninsula. Everything about it is designed to make daily life more enjoyable and long drives more relaxing.
Design That Speaks Without Words
The QX80 carries a bold presence with its illuminated three-dimensional emblem sitting proudly on a bamboo-inspired double-arch grille. The shape follows the Japanese design principle of Sho, giving it a sense of motion even when parked. A panoramic moonroof lets in plenty of light, perfect for enjoying a scenic drive through Ontario’s fall colours. The piano key lighting at the rear, made up of 300 LEDs, adds elegance and depth to its look. Even details like the available Light Path projection and flush door handles make arriving somewhere feel special.
A Cabin Made for Comfort
Stepping inside the QX80 is like walking into a warm welcome. The available quilted semi-aniline leather feels soft to the touch, and the open pore wood trim adds a natural elegance. The interior seats up to eight, with first and second rows offering available massaging seats. Even the third row gets thoughtful touches like standard power-reclining seats and optional heating. The Klipsch audio system, with available Individual Audio technology, lets you enjoy crystal-clear music or take private calls without disturbing others. Ambient lighting with 64 colours lets you set the mood exactly as you like.
Power You Can Feel Every Time You Drive
The 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine delivers up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. That means smooth yet commanding acceleration whether you’re merging onto the 401 or towing up to 8,500 lbs. Trailer Blind Spot Warning, Trailer Back-Up Assist, and Rear Zoom View make hauling a boat to Lake Ontario or an RV into the countryside much easier. Even with its size and power, the QX80 offers a combined fuel economy of up to 13.8 L/100 km, making it a strong performer in its class.
Technology That Works With You
Dual 14.3-inch high-definition Monolith displays bring the latest in infotainment right to your fingertips. With Google built-in, it feels familiar and easy to use. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with Bluetooth connectivity. The MyINFINITI app gives you remote access to features, so you can lock the doors, start the engine, or check the vehicle’s status from your phone. It’s all designed to keep you connected without overcomplicating your drive.
Safety That Never Feels Overbearing
The QX80 is loaded with advanced safety features that work quietly in the background. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can help navigate highway drives on compatible roads, even allowing hands-off driving when conditions are right. The 3D Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection makes parking in tight downtown Guelph spots much less stressful. Intelligent Cruise Control, Steering Assist, and other driver aids make long trips more relaxing while still keeping you in control.
