2025 Infiniti QX80: What’s New?

The 2025 Infiniti QX80 is all-new from the ground up. It boasts a clean body style with anti-wedge proportions that exemplify the brand’s Artistry in Motion design language. It retains its body-on-frame architecture and seven or eight-seat cabin but has more room for people and cargo versus the 2024 model.

In what seems to be an ongoing trend, the QX80 has a reimagined face with a bamboo forest-inspired double-arch front grille, an illuminated 3D Infiniti badge, LED driving lights on both sides of the upper grille, and combination headlights set lower in the façade.

Meanwhile, the clean-shaven style includes flush door handles and a full-width LED light bar at the rear with a smoked appearance and lighting elements arranged to mimic “reflections of light upon a body of water,” Infiniti said. Other unique lighting features include the Infiniti Light Path, which projects wing-like geometric shapes to the ground upon approaching the big SUV with a keyfob.

The new QX80 is available in seven paint colors, including a bespoke Dynamic Metal hue that took six years to create and features metallic flakes laid flat to project a “liquid metal feel.” Dynamic Metal is a paint that appears to change depending on the viewing angle.
