Showcasing enhanced craftsmanship and sophistication down to the very last detail, the cast 20-inch rims feature an all-new six-spoke design. This minimalist approach gives off a clean and modern appeal. For a bold finish to match the dominating exterior of the QX80, they are painted dark silver. Wrapped in 275/60 R20 H-rated all-season casings, they are excellent for all-terrain and weather with optimal wet-traction execution.
The slightly flashier forged 22-inch frames are coated in a premium liquid metal to exude a sharp, high-gloss allure. The 18-spoke scaffolding gives off a menacing claw-like appearance that perfectly suits the striking body of the vehicle. Complemented with lower-profile 275/50 R22 performance tires, you’ll experience impressive handling year-round, and higher speed aptitudes.
No matter which set you choose, you can count on these quality trimmings to both look good and feel solid on the road beneath you.

The 2018 INFINITI QX80 is a rare breed of SUV that is every bit as luxurious as it is functional. With its updated look comes a contemporary color palette that offers drivers several sophisticated hues from which to choose.
Additionally, this model sees three fresh shades that help to articulate the refined design language. With muscular character lines, an athletic stance, and abundantly generous proportions (201.2 inches in length, 75.8 inches tall, and 79.9 inches), the QX80 commands attention.
According to the brand’s style notes, each option elevates the upscale appearance of the exterior.
Moonstone White is a cool, pearlescent tone that was apparently inspired by the brightness of ice found at the Earth’s Poles.
On the other end of the spectrum, Mineral Black is a dark, metallic tint. Accentuated with opulent copper-gold flecks, it is declared evocative of a meteorite traveling through outer space, faintly glimmering.
Meanwhile, Champagne Quartz is said to be reminiscent of cavern walls in France. Completed with minute aluminum-oxide pigments, the metallic silver changes in the light like a diamond—shifting from warm and golden-like to lucid shimmering blue.
With these latest chromas, the 2018 QX80 is available in nine different finishes altogether, ranging from solid to pearlescent. Each is polished by hand and quality inspected by master craftsmen to ensure maximum luster and depth.

Nissan’s luxury brand has long been effectively pioneering advanced and innovative driver assistance functions to deliver more security to consumers. As such, the 2018 INFINITI QX80 features a plentiful list of active and protective safety technologies, not the least of which is the newly available Smart Rear-View Mirror.
Owners of this full-size SUV will benefit from a dynamic, dual-purpose digital interface that works as both an extension of the operator's field of vision, as well as a monitor.
Â
At the touch of a button, it can instantly switch from its standard operating mode to display video streamed directly from a camera mounted in the upper rear windshield. So, no matter the weather—be it fog, snow, rain, or ice—motorists still have a clear sense of what’s happening behind them.Â
To further impress, the SRVM helps to improve visibility at night and in low-light conditions. Utilizing a High Definition Resolution screen that can combine two images into one at 60 frames-per-second, it enables a more precise picture, with a wide-angle lens to provide a 48.1-degree outlook (as compared to a conventional prop that only offers 19-20 degrees).

When considering a mammoth SUV, such as the impressive 2018 INFINITI QX80, it’s probably safe to assume that precious cargo will be occupying at least a few (if not all) of its seven seats. For that reason, interested buyers will be happy to know that this luxury ride offers a full range of driver assist technologies and innovations.
For starters, the QX80 is equipped with five cameras and three radar systems. Each is strategically placed on different parts of the body in order to read the road ahead and monitor the surroundings at all times.
Intelligent Cruise Control works by gauging traffic conditions and auto-adjusting the speed to maintain a safe distance from others. This feature can effectively operate all the way down to just 1 MPH. So, even if you’re crawling at a snail’s pace during rush hour, you needn’t worry about ever getting too close to someone else’s bumper.
Meanwhile, a suite of accident intervention reforms offers peace of mind to all passengers. Predictive Forward Collision Warning uses sensor inputs to detect traffic changes and predict potential risks in front of you; while Emergency Braking will instantaneously increase damping pressure to lessen vehicle speed, greatly reducing the chance of an incident.

When shopping for a new vehicle, it’s important to find something that can do more than simply deliver you from point A to B. Those looking for an SUV that’s attuned to the lifestyle of driver and riders alike will love the 2018 INFINITI QX80.
Beyond styling, technology and its sheer purpose as a mode of transportation, this five-door, seven-passenger mammoth showcases an enhanced utility to suit the needs of all occupants. With 152.5 cu-ft of passenger volume, there is a generous amount of space for everyone in the cabin to stretch out and get comfortable.
Improvements have also been made to storage compartments. Not only are they more ergonomically available, but they’ve also been updated to fit modern equipment. In the front, the center console has been re-designed to accommodate larger smartphones. Meanwhile, the stowing container beneath the armrest has been enlarged to create a 5.4-liter chamber. Within it, tablet devices can easily be tucked away in an upright position.
To further impress, the 2018 QX80 features 16.6 cu-ft of cargo room that expands up to 49.6 cu-ft when the third row is folded down. Needless to say, unless you're moving house, you’ll likely never have to make two trips.

The redesigned 2018 INFINITI QX80 has been turning heads on the road as its powerfully elegant new look leaves little to be desired. However, beyond the eye-catching exterior, this prominent SUV is every bit as flashy on the inside as it is on the outside.
The luxurious upscale interior showcases high-quality perforated and quilted leather for a truly hand-crafted feel. The cabin offers front and rear passengers plenty of flexibility with 41 inches and 39.6 inches of legroom, respectively.Â
Ergonomic improvements have been made to the cockpit to offer occupants additional storage space. As smartphones continue to get bigger, the new QX80 includes a larger stowing area in the center. The layout of the dashboard and buttons has also been revised to provide drivers with easier access to controls. For example, the USB port has been relocated to the opposite side of the middle console so that it’s in a better position for the operator to reach.
To further impress, supplementary container areas have been added to give each passenger within the vehicle their own sense of place. Each door features accommodation for bottles and other items, while the second-row includes its very own utility center — including cupholders and a tablet case — for increased back seat organization.

Seattle drivers can rest assured knowing that they are getting the most bang for their buck when they pull away in the new 2018 INFINITI QX80.
Recently selected as the winner for Kelley Blue Book’s Cost To Own Awards in the "Best Luxury Full-Size SUV/Crossover" category, this ride is not just formidable in its bold proportions (a whopping 79.9 inches wide, 210.2 inches in length and 75.8 inches in height)—it performs well, too. Chosen based on common factors such as fuel costs, functionality, and depreciation, the new QX80 asserts its position as a leader in the ranks.
With a 5.6-liter V8 engine, it easily generates 400 HP and 413 lb-ft of torque, while still earning 14 MPG in the city and 20 MPG on the highway—impressive stats for a vehicle that weighs three tons and is capable of towing up to 8,500 lbs.Â
Â
New technologies - such as an operator-adaptive learning algorithm that auto-adjusts shifting based on driving style and Hydraulic Body Motion control which monitors force and delivers variable pressures to the suspension system to create a smoother ride - all add to the resiliency of this vessel.

The INFINITI QX80 stands out. There is no need to mince words; it’s a behemoth four-door, three-row, eight-passenger SUV that weighs over three tons. Equipped with a 5.6-liter engine packed with 400 HP, it can tow an impressive 8,500 pounds. This isn’t the type of machine that’s intended to sit in a garage all day. It’s expected to do work; to get your family where they need to go; to get dirty; to haul boats and camper trailers and your neighbor's car out of the snowbank. It’s meant to be seen. And as such, any vehicle in that kind of spotlight deserves a few cosmetic upgrades now and then, don’t you think?
After its world debut at the Dubai International Motor Show last November, the full-size luxury SUV is attracting attention with its swanky look. A slight nose job moved the headlamps north, while the grille has been accentuated with a wide air vent to give it a bulkier, more powerful appeal. A subtle nip-and-tuck to the sides emphasizes its more angular profile, while the re-imagined bumper is complemented with new taillights connected by a cohesive chrome strip amid the broadened back end.
It goes without saying … Anything that looks this good from the outside needs to be experienced from the inside. Stop by our dealership today to take the new QX80 for a spin.
