2026 INFINITI QX80 Debuts First SPORT Grade

2026 INFINITI QX80: Flagship Luxury SUV Gets First-Ever SPORT Grade

The 2026 INFINITI QX80 takes the full-size luxury SUV segment to new heights, blending advanced technology, exquisite craftsmanship, and an unmistakable road presence. Building on last year’s bold redesign, the 2026 model introduces the first-ever SPORT grade, adding an even sleeker and more dynamic personality to INFINITI’s flagship.

According to Tiago Castro, Vice President of INFINITI Americas, “Luxury drivers want to make a bold entrance, and for 2026 we’ve dramatically amplified the QX80’s Artistry in Motion styling with the SPORT grade’s distinctive darkened design elements.”

Sleek, Confident, and Purpose-Built

The QX80 SPORT makes an immediate impression with a restyled front grille, sport-inspired front bumper, and unique 22-inch wheels. Dark chrome exterior trim, black mirror caps, roof rails, and emblems give the SUV a commanding presence.

Inside, the SPORT grade offers an exclusive Dusk Blue interior with black and blue seat inserts, diamond-pattern perforations, dark matte chrome accents, and open pore wood trim. The effect is striking yet sophisticated, enhancing the QX80’s confident stance and premium character.

Exterior color choices include Mineral Black, Radiant White, Grand Blue, and Dynamic Metal, with an optional contrasting Black Obsidian roof for select shades.

Four Grades, One Luxury Standard

The 2026 QX80 is available in four trims: PURE, LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH. All grades feature INFINITI’s VR35DDTT 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a smooth yet powerful drive.

Highlights across the range include:

• PURE – Dual 14.3-inch displays, 3D Around View® Monitor, ProPILOT Assist 1.1, Klipsch 14-speaker audio.
• LUXE – Dynamic Digital Suspension, climate-controlled seats, head-up display, 22-inch wheels.
