Automotive journalists loved this full-size luxury SUV’s stunning exterior design, high-quality interior, and exciting new tech features. Drivers also appreciate the QX80’s powerful performance. Here’s a rundown of the QX80’s awards.

Best New Interior and Best Interior (Overall)

For good reason, the QX80’s interior received much praise. Not only does the SUV’s cabin offer upscale materials such as semi-aniline leather, but it also allows every passenger to travel in comfort. Several high-end amenities are available, including Biometric Cooling technology and massaging seat functions. Spacious accommodations make the new QX80 an even more rewarding family hauler.

Second Place – Luxury Vehicle of Texas

Although the INFINITI QX80 was up against some tough competition, it still managed to rank among the top luxury vehicles. This SUV excels in all of the most important categories.

Its refined performance will definitely get your attention. Under the hood sits a twin-turbo V6 engine, which develops up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, an available All-Mode 4WD system enables the QX80 to confidently approach a wide range of different road conditions. To enhance handling and overall ride comfort, INFINITI equips the QX80 with an advanced Digital Dynamic suspension. An 8,500-pound towing capacity further highlights the SUV’s versatility.

When behind the wheel of the new QX80, drivers are surrounded by the latest technologies. A 14.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with integrated Google apps comes standard. Other luxurious standard features include a panoramic sunroof, second-row captain’s chairs, and a hands-free liftgate.

A slew of innovative safety features are available for the QX80. While Invisible Hood View technology makes parking less challenging, Trailer Blind Spot Warning gives you greater confidence when pulling cargo.

Third Place – Best Exterior

There’s no overlooking the QX80’s striking appearance. Bold styling cues, such as digital piano key lighting, help it to stand out. Stunning wheel designs add to the SUV’s attractiveness. Several premium exterior colors are available, including Coulis Red and Dynamic Metal.

Third Place – Best New Feature for its available Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System

If you want to experience an even more captivating music-listening experience, the QX80’s available Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System won’t disappoint. This high-performance audio system features 3D surround-sound processing and a 24-channel amplifier.
