Infiniti is deploying an all-new generation of its big QX80 flagship SUV, complete with fresh styling inspired by the QX Monograph concept vehicle. The new QX80 wears an imposing shape, with an upright front end, large-mouth grille and big wheels. Exterior lighting elements add drama and include two slim daytime running lights with a distinctive block pattern up front and a full-width light bar across the liftgate connecting the taillights. Under the hood is a 450-hp twin-turbo V-6 in place of last year's naturally aspirated V-8. The deluxe cabin features three rows of seats with a massaging function available for both the first- and second-row chairs. The interior can also be optioned with a system that utilizes an infrared sensor in the headliner to detect when a rear-seat passenger is too warm; it then automatically directs cool air from the climate control system toward that rider. Also available is a 24-speaker stereo tuned by high-end audio maker Klipsch. The new QX80 looks posh and has the right features to compete with big SUV rivals but accompanying the Infiniti's upgrades is a stiffer MSRP that reduces its price advantage over models such as the Cadillac Escalade and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-class.
