The 2015 Infiniti QX80 has a strong engine with great acceleration and a quick-shifting automatic transmission, according to reviewers. They add that the QX80 has agile handling for a large SUV, as well as precise steering and strong brakes.
The Infiniti QX80 is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine that makes 400 horsepower. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. According to the EPA, the 2015 QX80 gets 14/20 mpg city/highway, which is on par for the class.
Critics note the QX80’s V8 has ample power and excellent acceleration for a big SUV. Auto writers say that the QX80 accelerates smoothly and promptly when pushed, and they add that the automatic transmission shifts quickly and always finds the right gear.
The 2015 QX80 comes standard with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive is optional. Reviewers say the QX80 is one of the more nimble SUVs in the class, especially when equipped with the available Hydraulic Body Motion Control system, which lessens body lean in turns. Some auto writers note that adding this handling feature makes the ride quality slightly rougher, while others think it gives the QX80 a more composed ride. They think the steering is well-weighted and that the brakes have sufficient stopping power.
