The luxury SUV landscape has a stunning new contender. The 2026 Infiniti QX80 has been completely redesigned to elevate every drive, blending intuitive technology, masterful craftsmanship, and a commanding presence on the road. Building on last year’s gorgeous “Artistry in Motion” design, Infiniti is introducing the flagship’s first-ever SPORT grade, giving the QX80 its most dynamic and sleek appearance yet.
This isn’t just an update; it’s a statement. The new 2026 Infiniti QX80 resets the benchmark for full-size luxury SUVs by delivering extraordinary comfort, seamless convenience, and integrated technology for all three rows. It’s a first-class experience for everyone on board.
What’s New? The Head-Turning 2026 Infiniti QX80 SPORT Grade
For drivers who demand a bolder, more assertive look, the 2026 QX80 SPORT is a masterclass in style. The dramatic makeover begins with a restyled front bumper, a unique 22-inch wheel design, and a host of darkened exterior elements.
SPORT Grade Highlights:
- Darkened exterior trim, mirror caps, and roof rails.
- A stunning Dusk Blue interior color scheme.
- Dark matte chrome accents and a graphite headliner.
- Unique black/blue seat inserts with diamond-pattern perforation.
The effect is both dramatic and sophisticated, amplifying the QX80’s confident and powerful stance.
2026 Infiniti QX80 Artistry in Motion: A Stunning Exterior Redesign
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 showcases the latest evolution of Infiniti’s design philosophy. The front is dominated by a signature double-arch grille inspired by the organic shapes of a bamboo forest.
Flanking the grille are sleek, multi-element LED daytime running lights styled to look like digital piano keys, which complement the illuminated Infiniti emblem. This thoughtful design extends to the side profile, where flush door handles automatically present themselves when the vehicle is unlocked, creating a clean, aerodynamic look.
In the rear, a full-width LED light bar with over 300 LEDs creates a dramatic welcome sequence, culminating in the Infiniti Light Path—a stunning projection on the ground that welcomes you to the vehicle.
Step Inside: A Cabin of Unmatched Luxury and Tech
The interior of the 2026 QX80 is a sanctuary of comfort and technology, where soft-touch materials, rich leather, open-pore wood, and suede are seamlessly integrated with high-tech displays.
Dual Screens & Google Built-In
The dashboard is dominated by two stunning 14.3-inch displays. The central infotainment screen comes with Google built-in, giving you effortless access to:
- Google Maps for simple, powerful navigation.
- Google Assistant for natural-language voice commands.
- Google Play to download your favorite apps directly to the car.
Below it, a 9-inch touchscreen provides convenient, dedicated control for climate functions, heated/cooled seats, and drive mode selection.
Next-Level Comfort for All Three Rows
Infiniti has ensured that every passenger travels in first class. The first two rows are available with ventilated seats, and for the first time, massaging seats are offered in the second row in addition to the front.
Even more impressive is the segment-first Biometric Cooling. This available system uses an infrared sensor in the headliner to detect when a second-row passenger is feeling hot, automatically adjusting the climate control to send a stream of cool air their way.
Immersive Sound by Klipsch®
Audio lovers will rejoice. The QX80 features a standard Klipsch® premium audio system, but the SENSORY, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH grades take it to another level with a Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System. This 24-speaker, 1,200-watt system includes titanium tweeters, four ceiling-mounted speakers, and a massive 8-inch subwoofer for an incredibly immersive listening experience.
The system also includes the segment-exclusive Individual Audio feature, which allows the driver to listen to navigation prompts or a phone call through their headrest speakers while other passengers continue to enjoy their music undisturbed.
See Everything: Revolutionary Camera Technology
The QX80 offers several advanced camera systems that make tricky driving situations a breeze.
- Front Wide View: Provides a 170-degree view to the sides of the vehicle, perfect for “seeing” around blind corners or past parked cars.
- Invisible Hood View: Projects an image of what’s directly in front of and under the vehicle, making it easy to spot curbs, parking blocks, or obstacles in a car wash.
- 3D Around View® Monitor: Gives you a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings with eight different camera angles for perfect parking every time.
Power and Poise: The Driving Experience
Under the hood, the QX80 is powered by a standard VR35DDTT 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine that produces an impressive 450 horsepower and 700 nM of torque. This potent engine is paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission that provides both crisp acceleration and efficient highway cruising.
The driving experience is further refined by the available Electronic Air Suspension and Dynamic Digital Suspension. The air suspension can automatically lower the vehicle at high speeds for better aerodynamics or raise it by 2.1 inches for off-road terrain. When parked, it can lower by 2.8 inches to an “Easy Access” level, making it easier for passengers to get in and out or to load cargo.
Seamless Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2026 QX80 comes loaded with an extensive suite of standard driver-assistance technologies, including Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Blind Spot Intervention®.
For longer journeys, ProPILOT Assist combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assistance to help reduce the stress of highway driving, making every trip safer and more comfortable
