LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor – Does the 2026 INFINITI QX80 really seat up to eight comfortably in Ann Arbor, MI?
Families and professionals around Ann Arbor expect a full-size luxury SUV to deliver genuine three-row comfort, not just extra seats for occasional use. The 2026 INFINITI QX80 answers that need with anticipatory design for up to eight occupants, thoughtful amenities that reach every row, and flexible configurations to match daily life in Washtenaw County and weekend escapes along I-94, US-23, and M-14. At LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor, our team helps shoppers zero in on the core question: does QX80 truly accommodate everyone with lasting comfort, access, and features that make every ride feel first class?
In short, QX80 is built for real, everyday usability across all three rows. The cabin offers an available second-row bench for eight-passenger capacity or available captain’s chairs for a spacious seven-passenger layout. Materials and amenities elevate each trim: TailorFit®-appointed seating on PURE, leather-appointed seating on LUXE, semi-aniline leather-appointed seating on SPORT, and dot-quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seating across all three rows on AUTOGRAPH. Comfort extends beyond materials. Heated first and second rows are standard on PURE; LUXE adds ventilated first and second rows; SPORT adds massaging front seats; and AUTOGRAPH brings heated, ventilated, and massaging first and second row seating plus heated third row seats. Segment-first available Biometric Cooling works with the Tri-Zone Advanced Climate Control System with Plasmacluster® air purifier to monitor passenger temperature and adjust automatically, enhancing comfort for occupants seated farthest from the dash. Available 64-color personalized interior lighting, segment-first Klipsch® audio with up to 24 speakers, and a power-sliding panoramic moonroof further enrich the experience in every seat.
Comfort comes with confidence. QX80’s Dynamic Digital Suspension helps reduce body roll and vibration, acoustic glass promotes a quieter cabin, and available Electronic Air Suspension can lower the body for easier entry and exit or raise it for additional ground clearance in rougher conditions. Daily errands in Ann Arbor and longer trips up north benefit from thoughtful technology touches like dual 14.3-inch Monolith displays with Google built-in, INFINITI InTouch® Services with available in-vehicle 5G data and Wi-Fi, and available features such as Smart Rear View Mirror and 3D Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection. Even loading and reconfiguring are simplified by available power-folding rear seats, creating flexible cargo space without a struggle.
