Review: 2015 Infiniti QX80 is a behemoth loaded with luxury - The Globe and Mail
Even a full-size passenger car is limited in its capacity, so a large SUV is in the cards. And it can’t get much larger than the Infiniti QX80. it’s longer than the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, two other behemoths in its class, and is one of the most imposing vehicles on the road. But as large as the QX80 is in stature, it matches that in luxury. Easily one of the more beautiful interiors of any car, the seats are – of course – huge, and extremely comfortable and cosseting, covered in the most supple leather. The level of technology on this Limited model is on a grand scale, too, with options such as built-in theatre monitors behind the front seats and predictive automatic emergency braking. With captain’s chairs in the second row, this gargantuan effectively carries around four people in grand luxury. (Granted, there is a more practical bench seat available for the second row. ) And with the electronically operated back row deployed, cargo space shrinks to 470 litres, so no hockey bags or multiple sets of luggage with a full load of people. This is a 2,671-kilogram beast, and yet it takes corners without bobbing or diving, with an overall ride that is composed and smooth, thanks to Infiniti’s optional Hydraulic Body Motion Control System. Everything about the Infiniti QX80 is writ on a grand scale. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com
