QX80 Artistry in Motion

Infiniti's back to tease the 2025 QX80 that debuts in 15 days. The 5.6-liter V8 gets upgraded with a 3.5-liter V6. 450 horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque, improvements of 50 hp and guaranteed-to-feel-it 102 lb-ft.

The 2025 QX80 is going to shift through a nine-speed automatic gearbox, the two additional cogs over today's seven-speed providing a 40% wider range of ratios. Owners are going to get more performance down low and efficiency up high. Doubling up on the efficiency, engineers added active grille shutters to reduce drag when massive cooling isn't needed.

The QX80 is expected to ride on an updated version of the current SUV's body-on-frame platform, Nissan's F-Alpha that once served the Pathfinder and Titan, plus the erstwhile QX56. The evolution yields 57% more lateral stiffness and 25% more torsional rigidity. A new electronic air suspension with active damping keeps the hardened cage from becoming a punishment.

The four-spoke wheel is now a two-spoke wheel. The digital gauge cluster and separate infotainment binnacle turned into a single, uncovered widescreen (composed of two or more screens).

The live stream reveal happens March 20. A week later, we'll get up close and personal for the 2025 QX80's public debut at the New York Auto Show.
