Despite adequate outputs of 400 hp and 413 lb-ft, the 5.6-liter V8 engine has plenty of mass to lug about. Even so, independent testing has shown the QX80 can launch itself from 0 to 60 in under six seconds and on to a top speed of 133 mph. While the Infiniti is brisker than the Lexus LX600, it isn't as quick as the more powerful V6 Navigator. But this is of little importance to the QX80's target audience; this isn't a performance SUV. Prospective customers will be pleased to know the largest Infiniti can tow 8,500 lbs, regardless of the driven wheels. This compares favorably with rivals, besting the LX 600's 8,000 lbs and the Cadillac Escalade's 8,200 lb towing capacity. The seven-speed automatic transmission (with overdrive) is smooth-shifting and behaves itself in town, although a hesitation to change down at highway speeds highlights just how far self-shifters have come. As such, the eight-speed auto in the BMW X7 and the 10-speed transmission in the Navigator are far more enjoyable to use. Four-wheel-drive QX80s receive a computer-controlled transfer case, with 4WD high and low settings.2022 QX80 Performance Photos

The 5.6-liter naturally-aspirated V8 is the only option available. As used in the Nissan Armada, the 5,552cc engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, with a manual mode for those looking for more involvement. Around town, the suave SUV departs from intersections in a graceful, relaxed manner; throttle inputs are not as sharp as some would like. The V8 emits a delightful growl when pushed, although a subtle burble is noticeable in urban driving. On the highway, the torque comes in handy, providing ample overtaking motivation to pass slower-moving traffic. This is the QX80's stomping ground. Together with the smooth ride, the QX80 takes long distances in its stride; the only chink in its armor is the often recalcitrant seven-speeder. Despite its mass, the 400 hp/413 lb-ft outputs are up to the task of hauling the QX80 about and will easily send the needle hurtling toward the higher end of the rev range, which is where the SUV makes its peak power (5,800 rpm) and torque (4,000 rpm). Despite the enormous proportions, the QX80 is well-suited to town driving, but it's at its best when cruising down the highway. We'd like to see Infiniti introduce a turbodiesel or hybrid derivative, though.2022 Infiniti QX80 Performance Specs
