2020 INFINITI QX80 Review

The 2020 Infiniti QX80 provides plenty of SUV capability along with a high-end luxury experience. A three-row, body-on-frame SUV that's powered by a big V8, the QX80 can tow as much as 8,500 pounds. Even at the base trim level, it's full of luxury features and high-tech safety equipment. There's seating for seven passengers (eight if you add the optional second-row bench) and plenty of cargo space.

On the inside, the QX80 is relatively well-equipped, with standard features such as leather upholstery, a 360-degree parking camera, and a heated steering wheel. For 2020, it gets even more equipment in the form of a new two-screen infotainment system on the center console. This new system adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the mix and eliminates several of the hard-to-see buttons on the dashboard.

Unfortunately for the QX80, it doesn't feel very modern or special. Even with the addition of the new infotainment system, the interior looks dated, with controls and soft-touch surfaces that can't match the quality provided by German rivals like Audi and BMW. And the tech, while updated, still uses low-resolution screens that can't justify the QX80's big price tag. As a package, the 2020 Infiniti QX80 is competent, but there are several segment leaders that have it beat, especially for the price.
