The center stack has finally been redesigned to accommodate a modern touchscreen with more user-friendly controls, and the HVAC system enjoys a new layout that includes physical knobs for adjusting the dual climate zones. Inside, the Infiniti is comfortable and quiet, but the overall design has barely changed since the ute debuted in 2011 as the QX56. For more information about the QX80's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. What's more, the version we tested on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, underachieved by earning 17 mpg in the real world. Its rivals have substantially better ratings. Even the thriftiest variant is rated at 14 mpg in the city and 20 mph on the highway. Simply put, the QX80 has awful fuel economy. 2022 Infiniti QX80 Gets Interior, Tech Upgrades.The QX80 can tow 8500 pounds in either the rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configuration, which beats the Mercedes's rating by 800 pounds. So if you're looking for a mega-luxury SUV with sharp driving dynamics, you should look elsewhere the Infiniti's serene character will satisfy buyers who want to be coddled. A comfortable ride couldn't make up for the fact that the QX80 felt less athletic than the GLS450. But around town, this Infiniti galloped with grace, its exhaust note growling after heavy-footed accelerator applications. Too bad it was hard to hustle on the highway, with a transmission that hesitated to downshift. Still, we loved the engine's smooth power delivery and snappy throttle response. While that's speedy given this SUV's size, every other competitor we tested was even quicker. The last version we tested ran from zero to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. The QX80 teams a 400-hp 5.6-liter V-8 with a seven-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. It offers plenty of luxury features to keep occupants happy, such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel with heat, second-row captain's chairs, a 13-speaker Bose stereo system, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and adaptive cruise control. Given that even the price of the mid-level QX80 Premium Select brushes elbows with that of the Mercedes-Benz GLS450 and the BMW X7 xDrive40i, we'd stick with the entry-level Luxe trim.
