LaFontaine INFINITI Ann Arbor – What ProPILOT Assist 2.1 in the 2026 INFINITI QX80 Means for Calm, Confident Luxury Drives around Saline, MI

Highway time is where you learn what a full-size luxury SUV is made of. For many Michigan drivers, steady merging, long stretches between exits, and evolving traffic patterns demand a cabin that stays composed and technology that genuinely supports your focus. That’s precisely where the 2026 INFINITI QX80’s available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 comes alive—integrating Steering Assist, Intelligent Cruise Control, and 3D high-definition mapping to help refine how you move through busy corridors and serene miles alike. Pair those features with the QX80’s calm ride from Dynamic Digital Suspension and available Electronic Air Suspension, and you have a flagship tuned for unruffled progress.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is engineered to assist with the flow of traffic—helping maintain following distance, smooth speed adjustments, and centered lane positioning. It’s particularly helpful when long trips take you past construction zones or when weather shifts call for more deliberate inputs. The system works alongside your attentive driving, enhancing situational awareness during the commutes that fill your week and the road trips that restore your weekends. Inside, dual 14.3-inch Monolith displays powered by Google built-in and an available Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio system with up to 24 speakers ensure guidance and sound are as polished as the drive itself. If you tow, available Trailer Blind Spot Warning and Rear Zoom View complement ProPILOT Assist 2.1 by making pre-trip setup and on-road monitoring more intuitive.

  • Highway support with context: ProPILOT Assist 2.1 uses 3D high-definition mapping to enhance assistance across compatible roads, working with Steering Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control.
  • Vision that reduces guesswork: 3D Around View® Monitor with available Spin Capability, Front Wide View, and Invisible Hood View help when parking, navigating blind corners, or approaching tight spaces.
  • Comfort that adapts: Available Electronic Air Suspension can lower to help with entry and cargo loading or raise for added ground clearance, while Dynamic Digital Suspension helps reduce body roll and vibration.
  • Connectivity that gets smarter: Google built-in on the dual 14.3-inch displays integrates navigation, voice help, and apps, complemented by INFINITI InTouch® Services and available in-vehicle 5G Wi-Fi.
  • Audio crafted for the cabin: The segment-first Klipsch® partnership offers up to 24 speakers and tuning that fills three rows with rich, balanced sound.

When does this suite of technology matter most? Daily, in small ways that add up. With traffic and weather as variables, fewer abrupt braking moments and steadier steering support can reduce fatigue at the end of your drive. For families, second-row comfort with available massaging seats and Tri-Zone Advanced Climate Control with Plasmacluster®—plus available Biometric Cooling—meaningfully improves how everyone feels when arriving. For the driver, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ streamline familiar tasks and keep the dash cord-free, while the available Smart Rear View Mirror maintains visibility when passengers and cargo fill the back rows.
