Auto123 got up close and personal with the new 2025 Infiniti QX80 at the 2024 New York Auto Show. Here's what we learned.
New York, NY - It's often said you don't get two chances to leave a good first impression. This is true in our interpersonal relationships. In the automotive world, however, you sometimes get a second chance.We couldn’t chase that from our minds at the official presentation this week of Infiniti's new QX80, which is getting a facelift for 2025.The current generation QX80 was introduced in 2011. Infiniti then gave it a mid-cycle upgrade in 2017.

It comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is of course standard. Of course, we'll have to take the time to analyze the multimedia system interface based on the Android universe, but it seems comprehensive.2025 Infiniti QX80, seats Photo: D.Rufiange Needless to say, the front and second-row seats are massaging, and the third bench even offers heated seats? The vehicle will even offer biometric climate control in the second row. Basically, thanks to an infrared camera, the QX80 will detect whether occupants are hot, and if so, will direct cool air at them.
As for cargo space, although precise figures have yet to be released, it’s been reported that volume is 18-percent greater behind the second row, while it’s 30-percent more generous behind the third. These were 1,405 and 470 litres, respectively. Adding the percentages gives us 1,658 and 611 litres. Figures to be confirmed, of course.
This is a significant increase over the outgoing model, the price range of which oscillated roughly between $88,000 and $96,000.To say that Infiniti is at a crossroads might be a slight exaggeration, but it’s clear the next few years will be decisive for the brand. It has to undergo some form of revival if it’s to avoid becoming the Japanese Lincoln.
