2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Infiniti QX80 is a tech-forward, capable full-size luxury SUV with classy style and plenty of power.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Still not as large as some large luxury SUVs</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

Under the hood, you’ll find 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque from a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. That’s 50 hp and 103 lb-ft more than the previous-gen QX80. It’s a serious bump, enough to put the QX80 shoulder-to-shoulder with Navigator and Escalade. There’s a hint of turbo lag, but uphill or on the highway, it never feels short on muscle.
Steering? Nicely weighted, especially in Sport mode, which adds a little heft. Prefer to let the car do the work? ProPilot 2.1 brings partial self-driving capability.
Ride quality gets a big assist from the adaptive suspension (standard on Luxe and up), which smooths out the harshness you might expect from 22-inch wheels. It’s not quite GLS-level sophistication, but body roll stays well in check.
Fuel Economy
The 2026 QX80 gets 18 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive (RWD), or 17 mpg combined with 4-wheel drive (4WD). That’s a couple mpg better than the V8 in the old QX80. For context, the GLS 450 4Matic does 21 mpg, but with just 362 hp. The Cadillac Escalade scores combined ratings of 17 mpg with rear-wheel drive, or 16 mpg with 4-wheel drive.

Balanced Proportions

Exterior

The QX80&#8217;s proportions are spot-on, and details like the bamboo-inspired grille, flush door handles, and full-width LED tail lamps make it stand out. Higher trims even greet you with a light show when you approach.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Google built-in 
With Google built-in, voice commands feel more natural, navigation runs through Google Maps, and your favorite apps are right there on the big screen. And yes, Apple iPhone users are still covered with full compatibility.
Klipsch Audio 
Klipsch might not be a household name in cars, but in home audio circles, it’s legendary. Every QX80 gets a Klipsch system: either 14 speakers and 600 watts in the two lower trims, or 24 speakers and 1,200 watts in the upper models. It’s the kind of sound that turns a commute into a concert.
Wide Front View 
Parking lot blind spots? Narrow alleys? The Wide Front View camera has your back, or rather, your front. Covering 170 degrees, it lets you see what’s coming when you’re creeping out of a tight space or peeking around a corner.
Invisible Hood View 
Ever wish you could see through the hood? This feature comes close. By stitching together images from multiple cameras, it gives you a virtual look at what’s hiding right in front, whether it’s curbs, car wash tracks, or other hazards.
Biometric Cooling 
An infrared sensor above the second row monitors body temperature and tells the climate system where to send cooler air. No more “too hot back here” complaints, just quiet, personalized comfort.
Journey Diary 
Journey Diary captures images and video from the forward-facing cameras, and, if equipped, the in-cabin camera, so you can relive the adventure or share it on social media. It’s like having a built-in photographer and videographer for your QX80.

More Space and Elegance

Interior

When you step inside, it’s clear Infiniti aimed for elegance. Two 14.3-inch displays dominate the dash, with a 9-inch climate screen below. A head-up display joins the party at Luxe trim.
Seating is for seven or eight, with captain’s chairs in the second row if you go with seven. Front seats? Wide and supremely comfortable. Outward visibility? Excellent.
The Autograph trim is pure indulgence, with soft-touch everything, fine materials, and massaging seats in both rows. Yes, second-row passengers get the spa treatment too.
Access to the third row is easy, even with child seats installed. Back there, shorter passengers will be happiest, but they still get USB-C ports (eight total in the cabin), vents, and optional heating.
The QX80’s cargo space is considerably larger than in the previous-generation model, with 20.4 cubic feet available behind the third row, 56.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and a maximum of 97.1 cubic feet behind the first row.
For comparison, the GLS maxes out at 84.7 cubic feet, and the BMW X7 offers 90.4 cubic feet. That means the QX80 is one of the larger luxury SUVs around, although it’s still smaller than the likes of the Escalade and Navigator, both of which offer more than 100 cubic feet of space.
If we have one gripe with the QX80&#8217;s cabin, it’s the button-style transmission selector. It frees up console space for storage and wireless charging, but we’d prefer a traditional shifter. On the plus side, you can specify a chilled compartment big enough for a six-pack.

KBB Editors' Overview

All-new last year, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 continues to make a statement. This full-size luxury SUV brings commanding presence, cutting-edge tech, and a cabin that feels like a private jet lounge. This is also the first Infiniti model to wear a six-figure price tag. The old QX80 was the bargain in this class, but the new one aims for the top shelf, adding everything buyers expect, like premium audio, exquisite materials, and even a climate system that reads body heat.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-full-size-suvs/">full-size luxury SUVs</a>, including the Infiniti QX80.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

The high-spec Sensory trim has long been the go-to version of the QX80, but with the redesigned model, the Sensory trim is no more. Instead, we can see plenty of buyers choosing the midrange Luxe trim with all-wheel drive (AWD), landing around $95,000.
The QX80 is priced in the same league as the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and BMW X7. The Lexus LX and Jeep Grand Wagoneer are priced a little higher. Some rivals also offer extended-length versions for extra cargo space.
Before you buy a new large luxury SUV, check KBB’s Fair Purchase Price. The old QX80 lagged slightly in resale value, but this redesign should improve things, meaning more money back when you trade in.

Under the Hood

The new QX80 packs serious muscle in the form of a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 delivering 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. A smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic handles the power distribution. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the two lower trims, while all-wheel drive is optional there and standard on the top two trims. Need to tow? The QX80 is rated for a hefty 8,500 pounds.
<h3>4-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Infiniti’s coverage beats the norm. Every 2026 QX80 comes with four years or 60,000 miles of new-vehicle warranty (whichever happens first), plus unlimited-mile roadside assistance. The powertrain is covered for six years or 70,000 miles, and you also get three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, no mileage cap.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 hasn’t yet been crash-tested by the relevant authorities, but the nearly identical 2025 model earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the body’s highest rating. In addition to its crash test performance, every QX80 comes standard with advanced safety tech like forward collision warning with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, trailer blind-spot warning, a 360-degree camera system, and much more.

What's new for 2026

The QX80 was all-new for the 2025 model year, but there are still new features on the table for 2026, including a new Sport grade that features dark-themed exterior styling, including a black grille, dark chrome trim, and other black exterior details, plus unique 22-inch wheels. Also new for 2026 is a Dusk Blue interior theme with dark matte chrome accents, open-pore wood trim, and other detail upgrades.

The 2026 Nissan Kicks matches a bargain price with advanced technology and excellent fuel economy.

<ul>
<li>Could be quicker</li>
<li>No power driver’s seat</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Kicks delivers 141 horsepower – about average for the class. For example, the Kia Seltos makes 146 hp, while the Chevy Trailblazer settles for 137 hp. All in all, the Kicks behaves much as you would expect for a subcompact SUV.
We embarked on a 4-day, 1,400-mile Cannonball Run from Greenville, South Carolina, to Delray Beach, Florida, and back in an all-wheel-drive Nissan Kicks SR with the Premium Package. Our conclusion: This is a terrific little crossover for road trips. Is it quick? Well, no. Is it super comfortable? No, but quite comfy enough. Is it quiet? Yes, with a qualification. Is it roomy enough for people and all their stuff? An emphatic, yes!
Granted, it was a 3-night stay for two older guys, but the Kicks swallowed us and our suitcases, hanging clothing bags, and other assorted odds and ends, and begged for more. Even with the second-row seat in place, the rear cargo area is quite spacious. Sorry, delivering only 141 hp, there is no way to frame the Kicks as quick. However, it can muster sufficient thrust for launching from freeway ramps free of drama. Moreover, we were amazed that in spite of the horsepower handicap and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), the adaptive cruise control effortlessly maintained its preset speed, no matter if the terrain was flat or hilly.
Both front and rear seats are of Nissan’s Zero Gravity variety, influenced by the space program. After spending about nine and a half hours in them, we were still relatively fresh. Although there is a bit of engine roar under hard acceleration, it’s not overwhelming. What we did find mind-numbingly annoying was the tire noise on anything other than baby-bottom-smooth pavement. This was an issue on I-95 through Georgia, where the pavement is primarily that pebbly asphalt. Crossing into South Carolina and Florida from Georgia was akin to being dropped into a sensory deprivation tank.
Oh, and we averaged 32 mpg on a trip that was about 90% freeway.
Fuel Economy
Here’s where the rather mundane engine performance and CVT really pay off. With front-wheel drive (FWD), the Kicks delivers an estimated combined mileage of 31 mpg. This drops to 30 mpg with all-wheel drive. These numbers are tied with or better than every other gasoline-only subcompact SUV rival.

Stunning Exterior

We’ve already forgotten what the previous Kicks looked like. Which says a lot about how stunning this generation’s design is, and how not-at-all-stunning the previous model was. If this is Nissan’s new design philosophy, we&#8217;re excited to see what future models will look like.
Size-wise, the revamped Kicks grew by about an inch in each direction. It’s now similar to the Kia Seltos; however, both are smaller than the Honda HR-V. The Kicks is also more like an SUV than a hatchback, with ground clearance of 8.4 inches (a hike of 1.4 inches). It’s not as much as the Subaru Crosstrek, but darn close.

Available all-wheel drive 
The second-generation Kicks boasts all-wheel drive on its options list for the first time. It is a must-have feature in regions where it snows, thanks to the enhanced traction it delivers on slick roads. We applaud Nissan for adding it.
Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen 
For 2026, all three trims get a generous 12.3-inch digital infotainment touchscreen display. It makes finding and controlling systems much easier.
Nissan Safety Shield 360 
Standard on every new Kicks, this bundle of advanced safety and driver-assist tech includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and high-beam assist. Also standard is rear park assist.
Adaptive cruise control 
We love that, at this price point, standard on every Kicks trim is adaptive cruise control, which slows and accelerates to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front once the speed has been set. It’s reliable and holds the set speed uphill and down.
Available ProPilot Assist 
Standard on the range-topping SR grade, this semi-autonomous driver-assistance system allows the Kicks to brake, accelerate, and steer itself under certain conditions. It takes advantage of other SR-standard advanced systems like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot intervention, and Intersection Assist, which kicks in when making a left turn across oncoming traffic.
Intelligent Key 
A programmable key fob, this feature is a more complex take on keyless entry systems that automatically unlock the vehicle without engaging the fob. In other words, you can unlock the Kicks by simply operating the door or liftgate handle as long as the key fob is on your person. Standard starting on the SV trim, it also includes push-button start.

Quality Cabin

To match the adventurous exterior, Nissan has graced the new Kicks with a classy interior. In the top SR trim, at least, which comes with a dual-display unit that incorporates a digital instrument cluster and an infotainment touchscreen — both measuring 12.3 inches. Other trims have a 7-inch driver&#8217;s display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
After that treat for the eyes comes a treat for a lower region. The aforementioned Nissan Zero Gravity seats — renowned for their comfort — are standard in both rows. The bigger body of the new Kicks results in more space for its occupants. There are increases (albeit by an inch or so) in shoulder room and rear legroom from the last-gen model. That said, the Kia Seltos and Honda HR-V are still a bit more accommodating for those with longer legs.
Cargo space varies according to trim and whether or not the specific vehicle has all-wheel drive. The largest luggage area behind the rear seats is 30 cubic feet, expanding to 60 cubic feet with those seats folded. These figures are better-than-average for the class. To compare, the previous Kicks had 25.3/53.1 cubic feet. Nissan also claims a widest-in-class cargo area opening, at 40.3 inches, which will make loading something like a stroller an easier task.

Typically, subcompact SUVs gin up about as much excitement as microwaved oatmeal. However, there’s much about the 2026 Nissan Kicks to stir the soul. Having received a full makeover for 2025, the Kicks now lays claim to available all-wheel drive (AWD) and better-than-average ground clearance. We must also admit that we like the rugged styling. Furthermore, Nissan has stuffed it with all manner of advanced tech. Yet, the Kicks remains a real bargain within its class.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this collection of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact SUVs</a>, including the Nissan Kicks.

2026 Nissan Kicks Pricing

The 2026 Nissan Kicks starts at $23,925 for the base S trim. The top-line SR starts at $28,155.

We’d forget the entry-level S trim, spending another $1,700 on the SV. It adds remote start, advanced proximity keyless entry, wireless phone charging, and bigger 17-inch wheels. As far as sales numbers go, the SV and SR grades go out the door at about the same brisk pace. Opting for all-wheel drive will set you back $1,500, regardless of the trim.
Historically, the Kicks has been on the low end of the subcompact SUV pricing spectrum.
Before buying a new Kicks subcompact SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values of the previous generation were just a fraction below average. Remember: Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

<li>Compelling styling</li>
<li>Loads of advanced tech</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>12.3-inch touchscreen standard</li>

Engine and Transmission

A 4-cylinder engine motivates the Kicks, generating 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. This goes to a standard front-wheel-drive configuration, although the Kicks offers the option of all-wheel drive (featuring a Snow mode) with all three trims.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Nissan’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, including roadside assistance. These terms are typical for the class. There’s no free scheduled maintenance.
Safety
The Nissan Kicks earns the Top Safety Pick accolade from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) gave it an overall score of 4 out of 5 stars. The standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection and adaptive cruise control. We’re also happy that blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is part of this array as well. The top SR trim gains ProPilot adaptive cruise control/lane-keeping/steering assistance.

Coming off 2025’s redesign, the Kicks is mostly unchanged for 2026. Of note, though, the 12.3-inch touchscreen is now standard across all grades. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/">Nissan</a> has also made a Cold Weather Package available for the SV and SR trims. It bundles the usual suspects: heated seats, heated outboard mirrors, and the much-appreciated rear seat HVAC vents.
