2025 Infiniti QX80 Full-Size SUV Is Coming and Starts at $84,445

• The 2025 Infiniti QX80 is renewed for a third generation and builds on the QX Monograph concept’s styling.
  

• The redesigned QX80 loses the 5.6-liter V8 underhood and hustles thanks to a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6.

• Infiniti says the 2025 QX80 will start at $84,445—a 10% price bump—when it goes on sale this summer.

After a pair of facelifts, and over a decade on the assembly line, Infiniti is bringing out a next generation of its QX80 three-row SUV.

While this QX80 still sticks to its body-on-frame construction, the V8 won’t make the transition to 2025. But there's totally new sheetmetal, which also contains a similarly new cabin experience. Oh yeah, there’s also a significant bump in the base price.

Even though we knew the V8 was going away and we learned some of the details about the V6 earlier this year—it’s still worth noting. This 3.5-liter V6 sends 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Despite being down a pair of cylinders, this turbocharged V6 bests its V8 predecessor by 50 hp and over 100 lb-ft of torque. Infiniti says the nine-speed automatic—sending power to the rear wheels or the four-wheel-drive system—offers a 40% wider gear spread than the outgoing seven-speed transmission.

Joining the underhood shakeup, Infiniti wholly restyled the QX80 for ‘25. This direction shouldn’t be a surprise for those familiar with the QX Monograph concept. Though, to the surprise of some, the concept’s exterior styling is almost exactly translated to the new QX80’s shell.

With almost every automotive concept-turned-production design, there are some minor concessions for pesky pieces like fuel doors and door handles, but the overall design is effectively carried over.
