Performance: | 8.2 |
The 2018 Infiniti QX80 has a powerful engine and composed handling. Its Hydraulic Body Motion Control system delivers a smooth and agile ride despite the SUV's heavy weight. The QX80's transmission shifts seamlessly, and the vehicle offers 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. When properly equipped, this SUV can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
This Infiniti gets subpar fuel economy even by the lax standards of a large SUV. It earns an EPA-estimated 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. With four-wheel drive, ratings drop by 1 mpg.
The QX80 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive is available. It rides comfortably, even over rough roads. Most people expect that from a luxury large SUV. What you might not expect is the QX80’s handling. The Hydraulic Body Motion Control system helps limit this Infiniti’s body lean around turns, contributing to a level of agility normally reserved for smaller vehicles.
