We had the opportunity to do a week-long test on the top-level Autograph trim. ## **What’s new on the 2025 Infiniti QX80?** As I show in the video, basically everything you see about the 2025 Infiniti QX80 has been redone from the exterior to the interior, and it even sports a new powertrain. That powertrain replaces the V-8, and while I know some people don’t love turbocharged engines, I think the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 is an improvement. The outgoing V-8 felt sluggish at times, and the 450-horsepower output of the new engine gets this big SUV moving. While the last generation wasn’t my cup of tea, this new one is one I’d recommend people check out while shopping for a new luxury, three-row SUV. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2025 Infiniti QX80]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/10/homerun-2025-infiniti-qx80-on-the-road-at-night-and-hauling-gear/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/10/homerun-2025-infiniti-qx80-on-the-road-at-night-and-hauling-gear/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "Homerun!
