Vehicle overview
Infiniti has renamed pretty much its entire lineup this year, so you're fully excused if you don't immediately know what the 2014 Infiniti QX80 is. Replacing last year's QX, which was previously called the QX56, Infiniti's full-size luxury SUV has gone through more names than Candlestick Park. But once you get past its initially confusing moniker and quirky styling, you'll realize the QX80 is a pretty appealing sport-utility.
With 400 horsepower on tap from its V8 engine, this deluxe sport-utility vehicle has the muscle to tow an impressive 8,500 pounds. Simultaneously, the classy interior will coddle you and a half-dozen friends (seating capacity is seven or eight, depending on how you configure it) with its rich-looking materials and cutting-edge technology. The QX80 isn't lacking in the safety department either, as it has the full gamut of passive and active systems, including this year's newly optional back-up collision mitigation system. Finally, this big SUV lives up to Infiniti's sporty heritage by offering spirited performance and reasonably athletic moves around turns.
While these are undeniable strengths, some buyers will find it hard to overlook the Infiniti QX80's few notable shortcomings. The trade-off for the 5.6-liter V8's performance is lackluster fuel economy, and unlike many of its rivals, Infiniti doesn't offer a more efficient engine option. And if you choose the 22-inch wheels, the resulting stiffer ride quality may end up being a little too harsh. Lastly, the third-row seat is really only suitable for young kids.
As such, we suggest also looking at a few of the QX80's competitors. Topping that list is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. Though it will typically cost you a little more, the GL provides just as much (or more) luxury ambience along with better fuel economy, quicker acceleration and a roomier third-row seat. Other options might be the off-road-capable 2014 Lexus LX 570 or the all-American 2014 Cadillac Escalade. Overall, though, the 2014 Infiniti QX80 stands out as a solid choice in the luxury SUV field -- in spite of its less-than-memorable name.
Performance & mpg
Powering the 2014 Infiniti QX80 is a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 400 hp and 413 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. Rear-wheel drive is also standard, with four-wheel drive (with low-range gearing) available as an option. Properly equipped, the QX is capable of towing up to 8,500 pounds and, if so optioned, also features an automatic-leveling rear suspension.
In Edmunds testing, the QX80 accelerated from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, which is a little quicker than average for this vehicle segment. The EPA estimate for both rear- and four-wheel-drive models is 16 mpg combined (14 mpg city/20 mpg highway).
Safety
The 2014 Infiniti QX80 comes with stability and traction control, antilock brakes, a 360-degree parking camera, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front active head restraints. Included with the Infiniti Connection telematics service are automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle notification, remote door access/locking, geo-fencing and max speed notifications.
The optional Technology package bundles several safety-related features, including blind-spot monitoring, a lane-departure warning and keeping system, frontal collision warning, frontal collision mitigation and a back-up collision mitigation system.
In Edmunds testing, the QX80 stopped from 60 mph in only 123 feet, a figure we're accustomed to seeing from much lighter passenger cars. For a massive SUV, that performance is quite good.
Driving
If there's one thing that quickly becomes apparent when you slide behind the 2014 Infiniti QX80's steering wheel, it's the strong acceleration the 400-hp V8 puts at your disposal. Shifts from the seven-speed automatic are likewise smooth and swift. On the highway, the QX feels solid and stable, and road and wind noise are blissfully absent.
Infiniti's big SUV is also blessed with uncommon agility, particularly when it's fitted with the Deluxe Touring package and the automaker's advanced Hydraulic Body Motion Control system, which reduces body roll around tight turns to the point that the QX almost feels light on its feet. The downside to the handling improvement is that ride quality suffers somewhat, though the decline in comfort has less to do with the optional suspension itself than the large 22-inch wheels that are included in the same option package. It's a good idea to take a QX80 for a thorough test-drive before opting for these larger wheels.
Interior
Inside, the 2014 Infiniti QX80 offers a handsome cabin that's enhanced by the generous use of high-quality materials. Technophiles will appreciate the wide array of cutting-edge bells and whistles, not the least of which is the Around View Monitor that offers a 360-degree top-down view of the area around the vehicle. Just as important is the fact that technophobes have nothing to fear, because the QX's electronics interface is very easy and intuitive to use.
As you'd expect, the QX80's front and second-row seats offer a high degree of comfort. The 60/40-split power-folding third-row seat has less legroom than the third rows in other large luxury SUVs, and depending on their age and size, youngsters may only find it passable for short jaunts. When it comes to cargo room, the 16.6 cubic feet of space behind the QX80's third row grows to a healthy 95 cubic feet with all the rear seats folded.
2014 INFINITI QX80 models
The 2014 Infiniti QX80 is a full-size luxury SUV that offers seating for seven or eight passengers. It's offered in one well-equipped trim level with a choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Standard features include 20-inch alloy wheels, automatic bi-xenon headlights, foglights, a sunroof, roof rails, rear privacy glass, a power liftgate, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry/ignition, automatic tri-zone climate control, leather upholstery, a heated eight-way power driver seat (with power two-way lumbar), a six-way power front passenger seat, driver memory settings, second-row captain's chairs, a power-folding 60/40-split third-row seat, auto-dimming mirrors and a power tilt-and-telescoping and heated steering wheel. Standard electronics include a 360-degree parking camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, an 8-inch touchscreen display, a voice-activated navigation system and a 13-speaker Bose sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and a USB/iPod interface.
Options are arranged in packages, some of which require other option packages as prerequisites. The Theater package adds a rear seat dual-screen entertainment system, a 120-volt household-type power outlet and heated second-row seats with a power tip-up feature for easier third-row access. The Split Bench Seat package replaces the second-row captain's chairs and center console with a 60/40-split-folding bench seat that increases seating capacity from seven to eight.
The Deluxe Touring package adds 22-inch wheels (available separately) as well as Infiniti's Hydraulic Body Motion Control suspension, an upgraded climate control system, upgraded leather upholstery and special wood trim, ventilated front seats and a 15-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system. Finally, the Technology package adds adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and a lane departure warning and keeping system.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
Owners of the 2014 Infiniti QX80 consistently appreciate its luxurious interior and strong performance. The vehicle's 400-horsepower V8 engine earns praise for its robust acceleration, providing a sense of power and confidence whether navigating snowy roads or cruising on the highway. Many are impressed by the sophisticated design and high-quality materials, which contribute to a plush, inviting atmosphere inside the cabin. Features like the 360-degree camera system and voice-activated navigation add to the convenience and ease of driving, making parking and route planning effortless. The second row receives accolades for its comfort, with heated seats enhancing the already luxurious feel. Even for those who have owned a range of high-end vehicles, the QX80 stands out for its combination of performance, spaciousness, and elegance.
Common Issues
Owners of the 2014 Infiniti QX80 frequently report issues with its air suspension system, which has resulted in costly repairs and recurring problems. The unreliability of critical components such as oxygen sensors, airbag sensors, and air ride compressors has been a source of frustration for many. Frequent engine warning lights and persistent mechanical issues, like faulty timing chains and defective pulleys, add to the vehicle's maintenance woes. Paint quality on exterior trim pieces also leaves something to be desired, with reports of unsatisfactory finishes. The cramped third-row seating has been criticized, especially for adults on longer trips, due to limited legroom and the inability to adjust the second row for more space. For a luxury SUV with a premium price tag, such persistent issues detract from the overall ownership experience.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
Drivers of the 2014 Infiniti QX80 find day-to-day performance and driving dynamics to be a highlight, especially with its powerful engine and smooth handling. Many appreciate the SUV's ability to handle weather-related challenges like snow, rain, and ice with ease, making it a reliable choice for varied conditions. Comfort is a major plus for both daily commutes and long road trips, with the spacious and well-appointed interior providing a sense of luxury on every journey. The intuitive electronics interface and convenient safety features like a 360-degree camera further enhance the user experience, simplifying parking and navigation. However, maintenance costs can be a concern, particularly with issues related to the air suspension system and other critical components, which occasionally cast a shadow on the driving enjoyment. Even with these challenges, the overall performance and drive quality keep many owners satisfied.

2014 INFINITI QX80 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)
I bought new in 2014 totally loaded. I am 6 ft 6 in tall and this is the only luxury SUV with adequate headroom without tilting the seat back. I have taken 5 hour trips with 4 adults and two children in total comfort. Voice operated navigation is great. Absolutely no mechanical issues in 55000 miles. I am 71 years old and this is by far my favorite vehicle. Better than Cadillac, … Mercedes, and BMW that I have owned.

2014 INFINITI QX80 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)
It's a great vehicle and we really like it, my only complaint is the third row. The design folks clearly have never sat there. We had a long trip and I had to try and put two adults in the third row and very quickly had to get them into another vehicle. The second row is just as plush and comfortable and the front but there should of been the ability to slide the second row forward to … allow for adults in the third row.
LOVE IT!

2014 INFINITI QX80 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)
I bought mine used with about 60K miles on it. Now it has over 100K and no issues at all. I love the way it drives, love the size, the luxury appointments. Even this old, it still looks impressive on the inside. Second row seats are heated which is nice. You can vocally ask the GPS to take you to an address. I love the all around cameras that show the front, back, side and from the roof … views. Makes parking a snap! Get a used one as the prices are low. I own 3 Infiniti's and they are reliable!!
Nice ride, nice looks....complete and utter junk!!

2014 INFINITI QX80 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)
Had my 2014 QX80 for nearly 4 years. Nothing but issues. Honestly, it has been by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Oxygen Sensors, airbag sensors, and air ride compressor systems are complete junk...just get the after-market conversion to a normal system and save yourself several thousand dollars by replacing the system a second and third time down the road, catalytic … converters, timing chain replacements, pulleys that are endlessly going bad..poor paint jobs on the exterior trim pieces, computers that seem as confused as they can be. Now, imagine a vehicle with endless engine lights coming on, no matter where I take it, or what is done, the engine light comes on again. If you can find a shop that is willing to work on these, you will become great friends with the people there. This has been nothing but a money pit and a big one at that. If you don't plan on spending $10,000 or more a year on repairs, you probably should avoid these altogether. For a $70,000+ automobile, I expect better. I thought Infinite was a quality luxury line, turns out it is horrible!!! You can get more quality from Fiat or Chevy. I can't express the amount of caution I would use if you consider buying one of these. I will NEVER, ever, touch another Infinite after this. I don't think it is possible to be more disgusted by a vehicle than we are with this. After more than $45,000 in repairs, we still have no end in sight. Avoid at all costs.
