Returning atop the full-size luxury SUVs in 5-Year Cost to Own is the Infiniti QX80. This muscular body-on-frame SUV boasts a 400-horsepower V8 able to tow up to 8,500 pounds. While it is a beast under the skin, there’s plenty of beauty, especially in the plush, well-appointed cabin. It is especially so in the new Sensory top trim that features semi-aniline quilted leather seating surfaces. Even the base-level Luxe model comes with a standard feature set that includes leather seating and navigation, plus tri-zone climate control, a power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system. Also, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with a tow hitch and self-leveling rear suspension.
The handsome exterior, beefy mechanicals, and comfortable ride make wheeling this large SUV around a civilized affair. There’s plenty of visibility from the raised seating position, responsive steering at your fingertips, plenty of power underfoot, and responsive, linear braking that inspires confidence. This proven package also earns high resale value. That low depreciation rate is one of the keys to keeping ownership costs in check.
Pricing for the 2021 Infiniti QX80 lineup starts at a base price of $69,050 for the Luxe. Step up to the mid-range Premium Select, and you’ll pay $73,350. The new Sensory range-topper (which replaces last year’s Limited) retails for $80,200. Add $3,100 to upgrade from rear- to 4-wheel drive. Delivery is $1,395 extra. Thanks to its desirability on the resale market, the Infiniti QX80 performs best among full-size luxury SUVs, no matter the trim level.
