The blackout treatment continues to spread across Infiniti’s SUV lineup. This time, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 brings a bold look with the new Sport trim. Essentially an appearance package, the QX80 Sport includes a trim-specific front grille, restyled front bumper, and unique 22-inch alloy wheels. Plus, it includes darkened exterior trim mirror caps, roof rails, lower bumper finish, and badges. The QX80 Sport offers four exterior colors: Mineral Black, Radiant White, Grand Blue, and Dynamic Metal. Additionally, the latter three also feature an available contrasting Black Obsidian roof.
Moving to the inside, the QX80 Sport has a Dusk Blue interior with dark matte chrome accents, a graphite headliner, and open-pore wood trim. What’s more, the seats include a black/blue insert with trim-specific diamond-pattern perforations.
2026 Infiniti QX80: Priced Like a Flagship
Pricing for the 2026 Infiniti QX80 starts at $85,940 for the base Pure trim with RWD. Adding 4WD bumps the sticker price of the Pure and Luxe trims by $3,100. Meanwhile, the Sport and Autograph models come standard with 4WD. However, those cost an arm and a leg at $104,140 and $113,690, respectively.
Standard features include a 14-speaker Klipsch premium audio system, dual 14.3-inch screens with Google built-in, ProPilot Assist, 1.1, and a surround view monitor. Stepping up to the Luxe trim adds the Dynamic Digital suspension with electronic air suspension, a head-up display, heated and ventilated first and second row seats, 22-inch wheels, and remote-controlled rear seats.
We think the new Sport trim offers the best deal. Building on the Luxe trim, it includes semi-aniline leather front and second rows, massaging front seats, and ambient lighting. Additionally, it upgrades to a 24-speaker Kipsch Reference premium audio system. Meanwhile, the range-topping Autograph adds a massaging second row, heated third row, and a cool box.
In terms of powertrain, the QX80 only offers one: a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic remains the only transmission offered. When properly equipped, the QX80 can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
Look for the 2026 Infiniti QX80 to arrive at dealers late this summer.
