Interior

Step inside the 2026 QX80, and you are welcomed into a sanctuary of first-class materials and cutting-edge technology. The cabin is dominated by dual 14.3-inch Monolith screens that merge the instrument cluster and infotainment into a single, seamless panoramic display.

Luxury reaches new heights with the available Biometric Cooling, a segment-first technology that uses infrared sensors to detect passenger body temperature and automatically adjusts the climate control for individual comfort. For the audiophile, the available Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System features 24 speakers, including titanium tweeters and Panasonic DJX® 3D Surround sound, delivering a concert-hall experience directly to your seat.

Exterior

The exterior of the 2026 QX80 is a bold declaration of elegance and power. The front is anchored by the signature double-arch grille, featuring a mesh pattern inspired by the organic shapes of a bamboo forest. This is flanked by digital piano key LED daytime running lights that play a distinctive welcome sequence as you approach.

The profile is cleaner and more aerodynamic than ever, thanks to flush door handles that automatically extend when unlocked and retract when driving. Whether you choose the refined Autograph trim or the aggressive new Sport trim with its dark chrome accents and unique 22-inch wheels, the QX80 commands attention with its confident, wide stance.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 QX80 leaves the V8 behind for a more potent and efficient VR35DDTT 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. This powerhouse generates an impressive 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, providing effortless acceleration and a towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds.

The ride quality is transformed by the available Electronic Air Suspension and Dynamic Digital Suspension, which constantly scan the road to smooth out imperfections and minimize body roll. This system can also lower the vehicle for easier entry and loading, or raise it for increased ground clearance when venturing off the pavement.

Safety Features

Your safety is paramount at Star INFINITI, and the 2026 QX80 is fortified with the brand's most advanced driver-assist technologies. The standout feature is the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which allows for hands-free driving on compatible highways, reducing fatigue on long trips.

Innovation extends to visibility with the Invisible Hood View, a camera technology that projects a virtual view of the ground beneath the engine bay onto the screen, helping you avoid obstacles in tight parking spots or car washes. Additionally, the Front Wide View provides a 170-degree viewing angle across the dual screens, allowing you to see around corners in tight intersections.
