ON THE COVER

The 2015 Infiniti QX80 Limited

The new QX80 Limited is designed to occupy a unique place in the luxury SUV market, offering an ultra-luxurious interior in a 3-row/7-passenger platform. With its proven 400-horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, the 5.6-liter V8 is fully capable of towing up to 8,500 pounds in comfort and style. Also available on the QX80 Limited version are the Infiniti All-Mode AWD^® and Hydraulic Body Motion Control systems.

Along with the new QX80 Limited model, all 2015 Infiniti QX80s offer a new exterior design and a more crafted interior, plus additional standard features and technology. The extensive exterior design refinements focus on the QX80’s front end appearance with a new revised upper grille and lower grille shape. The new front fascia features LED high/low beam headlights that automatically adjust the high beam for oncoming traffic. The QX80 also includes LED turn signals, LED fog lights, and a new front bumper incorporating flush-mounted sonar sensors for detecting an obstacle while parking. The new rear bumper is integrated and extended to better protect the vehicle when loading and unloading cargo. There are also new wheel designs including an available 22-inch 9-spoke forged-aluminum alloy version.

The 2015 QX80’s interior refinements and revised grade level content reflect a greater visual differentiation between color/wood trim offerings and more choices in the optional technology groupings. Several new technologies have been added for 2015, including an advanced High Beam Assist and Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW).
