Specs at a Glance
Designed to accommodate up to eight passengers, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is ideal for drivers who want the space and sophistication of a full-size luxury SUV. The new QX80 not only offers a refined and comfortable cabin filled with premium amenities, but it also delivers impressive strength and capability. With multiple trims available, many buyers may find themselves choosing between the QX80 Pure and the QX80 Autograph. Here’s how these two versions compare.
Performance
Both trims deliver equally powerful performance thanks to a robust 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. This powerhouse generates up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. The Pure trim, like the Autograph, can tow up to 8,500 pounds, providing plenty of strength for hauling.
One key distinction is that the Pure offers both rear- and four-wheel drive options, while the Autograph comes exclusively with four-wheel drive. The Autograph also includes an adaptive Dynamic Digital Suspension system that enhances comfort and handling for a more composed ride.
Appearance
The QX80 Pure makes a strong first impression with its piano key headlights, bold grille, and striking 20-inch alloy wheels. Its elegant styling ensures it stands out on the road.
The Autograph trim elevates the design further with dark chrome accents and distinctive 22-inch wheels that add an extra layer of sophistication. Additional color choices and an available black contrast roof give this top trim even more visual flair.
Features
The QX80 Pure offers a generous selection of standard equipment. The INFINITI InTouch multimedia system features a large 14.3-inch touchscreen with built-in Google apps for easy connectivity. Comfort is prioritized with second-row captain’s chairs and a panoramic sunroof, while premium touches like a 14-speaker Klipsch audio system, a digital instrument display, and advanced safety features enhance the experience.
Stepping up to the Autograph trim adds a higher level of refinement and innovation. Both front and second-row passengers can enjoy massaging seats, and hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.1 technology makes highway driving more effortless. A head-up display, quilted leather upholstery, and an upgraded 24-speaker Klipsch audio system further elevate the cabin’s luxury feel.
