LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor – Is ProPILOT Assist 2.1 on the 2026 INFINITI QX80 helpful for I-94 commutes around Ann Arbor, MI?
Morning traffic, lane merges, and long freeway stretches can quickly drain energy on a busy day. The available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 in the 2026 INFINITI QX80 is engineered to ease that burden by blending advanced mapping, sensing, and driver-assist intelligence to make highway travel feel more composed. On compatible roads, the system helps manage speed and lane positioning while enhancing visibility and awareness with technologies like Front Wide View for near-180° forward perspective and the 3D Around View® Monitor to simplify close-in maneuvers when you exit. The goal is not to take driving away—it is to reduce workload and smooth the flow of your daily routine.
What stands out is how naturally the technology integrates into the QX80’s broader luxury experience. Dual 14.3-inch Monolith displays present crisp, intuitive controls powered by Google built-in, while INFINITI InTouch® Services with in-vehicle 5G data and Wi-Fi keep your ecosystem connected. Quiet cabin tuning, available Electronic Air Suspension, and the composure of up to 450 hp and 516 lb ft of torque make the miles feel shorter and the return trip home more serene. If I-94 commuting is part of your daily life, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 becomes one more way the QX80 reduces friction and gives you time back.

On a test drive, plan a route that includes a freeway segment to understand how the system supports your style. Pay attention to how it manages transitions—merging, traffic changes, and exits—and how the chassis tuning and cabin acoustics keep stress low. Evaluate the clarity of the driver display prompts and how seamlessly the steering and speed assistance combine. When you step off the freeway, try the 3D Around View® Monitor with Spin Capability to quickly orient the vehicle in a busy lot.
