The dark blue is an exclusive elegance for the SPORT category
After Infiniti introduced the QX80 last year with the SENSORY and AUTOGRAPH models, this year, QX80 builds on its stunning Artistry in Motion design with the luxury flagship’s first-ever SPORT grade. Giving QX80 its sleekest, most dynamic appearance to date, the SPORT grade exemplifies INFINITI’s focus on delivering bold style that speaks to the tastes of luxury SUV drivers.
The dramatic makeover for QX80 SPORT begins with a new front grille, a restyled front bumper and a unique 22-inch wheel design. The exterior is replete with darkened elements: exterior trim, mirror caps, lower bumper finishers, roof rails and emblems.
Within the cabin, the SPORT treatment includes a stunning Dusk Blue color scheme, with dark matte chrome accents, graphite for the headliner and pillars, open pore wood trim for the instrument panel and doors, and black/blue seat inserts, including unique diamond-pattern perforation. The effect is dramatic yet restrained, amplifying the purposeful nature of QX80’s confident posture, strong lines and well-defined proportions.
QX80 SPORT is available in Mineral Black, Radiant White, Grand Blue or Dynamic Metal; the latter three can optionally be paired with a contrasting Black Obsidian roof.
The INFINITI QX80 offers capable performance delivered with refinement. The standard VR35DDTT 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine is rated for 450 horsepower and 700 nM of torque. Electronically controlled variable intake valve timing contributes to crisp throttle response. Complementing the engine is a 9-speed automatic transmission with a wide gear ratio range that enables both responsive acceleration and efficient highway cruising.
QX80’s dashboard uses two 14.3-inch displays. The centre display thoughtfully incorporates connected technology into the cabin with Google built-in. Google Maps allow for simple and efficient navigation, while users can download many of their other favorite apps on Google Play. Google Assistant further makes everyday interactions easier, allowing for natural-language requests.
A 9-inch touchscreen mounted below the infotainment display provides convenient control of all climate functions, as well as front seat heating or cooling operations and QX80’s drive modes selection.
Lighting can also help set the mood with available 64-color Personalized Ambient Lighting, incorporating light pipes in the dashboard and doors.
USB Type-C ports are available in every row with a total of eight throughout the cabin. Additionally, a wireless phone charger is located inside the front center console.
QX80 features two levels of advanced driver assistance. ProPILOT Assist is standard and combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assistance to aid the driver in staying centered in their lane.
