Introduction
The 2022 QX80 is the flagship full-size SUV from Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury arm. Offering a blend of capability, power, and functional luxury, the QX80 competes with the likes of the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade. Powerfully equipped with a 400-horsepower V8 and rugged body-on-frame architecture, it is a thirsty but capable SUV. The QX80 is a gilded workhorse with impressive towing capacity and a 2-range transfer case. It comes with standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) and available 4-wheel drive (4WD). The 2022 QX80 represents the latter part of the model’s extended second-generation run. The third-generation QX80 was introduced for the 2025 model year.

KBB Review Highlights
The QX80 debuted in 2004 as the QX56, Infiniti’s first full-size SUV. Riding upon the same platform as the beloved Nissan Patrol and Armada, the team at Infiniti found the seed of an idea that later would be tailored to an American audience accustomed to the rugged prestige of big-bodied beasts like the Cadillac Escalade. For the second generation, Infiniti transitioned to a new platform underlying the Nissan Titan and Nissan Armada. The company then infused even more luxury into the spec sheet and renamed it the QX80 early in the second generation. The third-generation QX80 just arrived for the 2025 model year.
Equipped with a powerful 400-hp 5.6-liter V8 engine, a 7-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive, the 2022 QX80 has the chops to handle any terrain you encounter — especially if you choose an option with 4-wheel drive. The ride is quiet and delightfully smooth, thanks to Infiniti’s Hydraulic Body Motion Control system. Inspired by aeronautical design, the interior is plush, particularly in the Sensory trim with semi-aniline leather and finely finished details.
The QX80 can be configured into a 7-seater or an 8-seater with a fixed second row that can be captain’s chairs or a bench. A rear-seat infotainment system entertains rear passengers. Space in the third row is limited. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
The QX80 Luxe starts with a strong base of leather seating, a 13-speaker Bose audio system, a power liftgate, a self-leveling rear suspension, and adaptive cruise control. Additional standard driver assists include lane-departure warning, rear cross-traffic detection, automatic emergency braking, and a blind-spot monitor. As you scale up to the Premium Select and Sensory trim lines, additional features like quilted leather, forged alloy wheels, and speed-sensitive power steering join the list. Options are limited to the trim level offers, excluding the available 4-wheel-drive system, a second-row bench seat, exterior welcome lighting, illuminated scuff plates, and upgraded paint.
