2023 INFINITI QX80: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2023 INFINITI QX80
Long-running QX80 generation, late-cycle year; 2023 is the second year after the 2022 tech-focused refresh.
INFINITI positions the QX80 as its flagship full-size luxury SUV: a big, bold three-row vehicle built to move people, cargo, and trailers in comfort. Its identity centers on strong V8 power, a roomy cabin, upscale materials, and easy long-distance travel rather than sporty handling. Against rivals, its clearest strengths are generous standard equipment, usable third-row space, towing hardware, and a traditional body-on-frame feel with a more polished luxury presentation.
The QX80 remains a large three-row luxury SUV centered on V8 power, towing ability, and a well-equipped cabin. LUXE covers the core luxury features, Premium Select adds darker trim and 22-inch wheels, and Sensory emphasizes comfort with a smoother suspension, richer leather, upgraded audio, and rear-seat entertainment.
