Performance: | 8.5 |
The 2017 Infiniti QX80 has a powerful engine and composed handling. Its Hydraulic Body Motion Control system delivers a smooth and agile ride despite its heavy weight. The QX80's transmission shifts seamlessly with quick acceleration.
The QX80 features a 5.6-liter V8 engine that puts out 400 horsepower. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. Despite its size and weight, the QX80 has impressive acceleration. The transmission shifts smoothly with no lag when you press down on the throttle. This SUV may pack a punch on the road, but it also takes a bite out of your wallet at the pump.
The QX80 gets below-average fuel economy for its class: 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway with rear-wheel drive, according to the EPA. With four-wheel drive, those numbers drop slightly to 13 mpg in the city and 19 on the highway.
The 2017 Infiniti QX80 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive is available. Thanks to the QX80's Hydraulic Body Motion Control system, which limits body lean when cornering, it has a smoother ride at all speeds. The QX80 is more agile than one would expect from an SUV of this size, and you'll barely feel road imperfections. The steering is responsive and has good feel.
