2026 INFINITI QX80 Performance Highlights
January 05 2026,
The 2026 INFINITI QX80 is built to move a full-size luxury SUV with authority, not hesitation. This is a performance designed for real confidence, whether you are cruising highways, towing, or navigating rougher terrain. Everything about how the QX80 drives feels intentional, powerful, and controlled, exactly what you expect from a flagship SUV.
Twin-Turbo Power That Feels Effortless

At the core of the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is a 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine delivering up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Power comes on smoothly but with serious strength, giving the QX80 a quick response when accelerating and a confident pull when loaded with passengers or gear. The engine never feels strained, even at highway speeds or during passing.
Electronic Air Suspension Control
Performance in the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is not just about power. Standard Electronic Air Suspension actively adjusts ride height depending on driving conditions. It can raise the SUV for better ground clearance off-road or lower it at speed for improved stability and aerodynamics. The result is a ride that feels composed, planted, and comfortable no matter the surface.
Stable Handling for a Full-Size SUV
Despite its size, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 feels surprisingly confident through corners and lane changes. The suspension tuning prioritizes balance, keeping body movement controlled while maintaining a smooth ride. Steering feels precise and predictable, helping the driver feel connected rather than overwhelmed by the vehicle’s scale.
Confident Towing Capability
Thanks to its strong torque output and advanced drivetrain, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is well-suited for towing and hauling. Whether pulling recreational equipment or handling heavier loads, power delivery remains steady and controlled, giving peace of mind when performance truly matters.
