The 2025 Infiniti QX80 marks a dramatic reinvention of its flagship SUV. No longer just a luxury cruiser with old-school charm, the QX80 now arrives with fresh ambition, futuristic styling, and a serious technological upgrade. From the bold new grille to the elegantly sculpted body panels, every angle of this full-size SUV speaks to a brand that’s ready to compete at the highest levels of luxury.
The 2025 QX80 showcases Infiniti’s new design language, which is sleek, modern and commanding. Designers eliminated excess visual clutter in favor of clean lines and powerful presence. LED lighting, flush door handles, and a redefined rear fascia help elevate curb appeal while boosting aerodynamic performance. The result is a vehicle that looks as cutting-edge as it feels.
Inside, the QX80 embraces a high-tech sanctuary vibe. Dual 14.3-inch displays anchor the dash with crisp graphics and fast response, and Infiniti’s InTouch system now includes Google Built-In for seamless navigation and app integration. An available “biometric climate control” infrared sensor system can monitor body temperature and automatically adjust cabin cooling for front passengers, while high-end trims add massaging front seats and a luxurious open-pore wood trim. Sound is handled by an optional 24-speaker Klipsch audio system offering concert-hall clarity on the road.
Gone is the thirsty old V8. In its place, a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine generates 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and up to 18 miles per gallon combined. The QX80 can tow up to 8,500 pounds, making it capable of hauling a boat or trailer with confidence.
Infiniti also invested in making this SUV quieter and more composed on the road. Acoustic glass, sound-deadening materials, and an adaptive air suspension system contribute to a ride that’s smooth over city potholes and composed at highway speeds. The steering is light yet accurate, and the optional four-wheel steering system improves maneuverability, which is especially helpful when navigating tight urban streets or parking garages.
On the technology front, the 2025 QX80 is one of the most advanced vehicles Infiniti has ever produced. It introduces ProPILOT Assist 2.1, intelligent lane change assistance, driver attention monitoring, and real-time traffic data integration. Meanwhile, there is a full suite of safety tech, like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure prevention, and blind spot intervention.
With prices starting at $82,000, the 3-row QX80 isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny. For Miami drivers in particular, the QX80 offers a commanding way to stand out on Biscayne Boulevard, cruise comfortably down I-95, or pull up in style at the valet. Bold, beautiful, and built to impress, the 2025 Infiniti QX80 marks a new era for the brand, which takes a confident step in the right direction. Give it a spin and tell me what you think.
