SOPHISTICATION
INFINITI QX80

Sophistication is the seamless blend of style and functionality. Thoughtful design details transform the cabin into the refined sanctuary you seek. The INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator project a sense of modern luxury that aligns with your professional success and personal aspirations.

Command Attention Wherever You Go

As larger SUVs, the INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator feature a commanding profile with purposeful curves and edges designed to capture attention. While the Navigator starts imposing with its dramatic front grille, it tapers off to a more traditional SUV at the D-pillar. The QX80, on the other hand, stands confident and self-assured with its unique design.

As it departs, the Lincoln Navigator continues this traditional design with ultra-slim taillights that almost blend into the rear of the SUV. Unafraid to show its true colors, the INFINITI QX80, with its statement-making digital piano key lighting, adds a dynamic element that reflects your success.

With the QX80, you'll have a full palette of rich, highly pigmented colors, including Grand Blue, Dynamic Metal, and even two-tone shades in Coulis Red and Black Obsidian. Unfortunately for the Lincoln Navigator, it offers half as many colors and doesn't offer sporty two-tone shades.

Superior Craftsmanship Awaits

Luxury brands know true luxury is a multi-sensory experience that must be felt. Leather upholstery adds supple sophistication to your commute, while climate-controlled and massaging front seats—either standard or available—add a tactile comfort that refreshes you.

It’s the INFINITI QX80 that proves true luxury lies in the details. Available semi-aniline leather upholstery adds refinement unmatched by the Navigator. Advantages of this upholstery include:

  • It stays true to the natural textile, making it incredibly soft.
  • Undergoes a light treatment, which helps preserve the natural grain variation and markings to add uniqueness.
  • Includes a protective layer that helps keep the material durable, even against a growing family.
  • Enhances the overall bespoke feeling.

Semi-aniline leather is a hallmark of interiors where craftsmanship and longevity are prioritized, and you’ll only find this superior level of detail with the INFINITI QX80.

COMFORT
INFINITI QX80

Whether on a weekend getaway or during the daily grind, an enhanced driving experience ensures that everyone enjoys the ride. You can expect shared amenities from these two luxury SUVs, but only one of these vehicles takes comfort to the next level with its innovative capabilities.

Next-Generation Innovation

Everyone defines comfort differently. Some may prefer spaciousness, while others believe comfort equals total wellness. Both are prioritized in the INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator, as seen with their standard Tri-Zone Climate Control systems. Passengers can independently set and adjust their preferred temperature throughout the commute.

While this feature is offered with both SUVs, only the INFINITI QX80 adds the advanced capabilities of Biometric Cooling technology. This available upgrade uses a sophisticated monitoring system that checks each passenger's temperature. The system will modify cabin temperatures to ensure no one is too hot or cold. The QX80 features other exclusive technology, including:

  • Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System: This segment-first audio system features 24 speakers and 1,200 watts of power.
  • 14.3-inch touchscreen: Places all your infotainment features front and center, providing crisp, clear, and colorful visuals.
  • Speed Sensitive Volume: Audio will automatically increase and decrease depending on the vehicle’s speed, ensuring the music is always at the perfect level.

The available speaker system includes Individual Audio, which can isolate phone calls to the driver’s headrest while the music continues throughout the rest of the cabin.

Your Wellness Is a Top Priority

With so much time spent behind the wheel, you need a vehicle that will drive like a dream. The INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator are ready to ignite every commute—from trips to the grocery store to ballet rehearsals—with their comfortable rides that start with an adaptive suspension.

The Lincoln Navigator has sensors that monitor the road and adapt the suspension to changing conditions. A similar suspension system is offered with the INFINITI QX80; however, integrating an optional Dynamic Digital Suspension puts the power in your hands. In addition to automatic adjustments, this system lets you control the vehicle's height. Lower it for easy loading or increase the vehicle height when increased ground clearance is needed.

Noise control features help create a quieter cabin that's free from road and engine sounds and a more comfortable environment. While offered with the Lincoln Navigator, only the INFINITI QX80 comes with flush door handles. In addition to reducing vehicle drag and increasing overall performance, the QX80 also experiences less wind sound.

RELIABILITY
INFINITI QX80

In your dynamic life, you need assurance that your SUV will perform flawlessly, no matter the situation. From safety suites to performance, you can depend on the INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator to excel in this area. However, only one helps you better balance your family life and career. Which will it be?

Eyes Everywhere

Total peace of mind is achieved when your SUV has modern safety features that provide alerts and make steering and acceleration adjustments as needed. While the INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator share their own version of features like Predictive Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Prevention, it’s the QX80 that offers added confidence with these features:

  • Driver Attention Alert: Alerts you when drowsy or distracted driving is detected, ensuring your focus is always on the road ahead.
  • Invisible Hood View: Projects what’s directly in front of your SUV, allowing you to avoid toys left in the driveway.
  • Front Wide View: Fills the display screen with a wide-angle view, showing you the big picture when maneuvering around objects.

An optional Cabin Camera is also exclusive to the QX80. It lets you check in on your kids in the back seat through the central touchscreen, resulting in more time with your eyes on the road and fewer distractions.

Capable of Conquering Every Commute

Your daily commute takes you all over town. You need assurance that your SUV will provide a flawless commute regardless of the environment. Standard all-wheel drive systems deliver enhanced confidence with the INFINITI QX80 and the Lincoln Navigator; the extra grip helps them conquer rain-slicked streets and unpaved paths.

The ease with which you can conquer tight turns and maneuver congested areas is a bonus of all-wheel drive. However, increased performance in the INFINITI QX80 offers a more exciting ride every time.
