The 2026 INFINITI QX80 gives Augusta drivers a fresh take on full size luxury. It rides on an all new platform with updated styling, new technology, and a smarter powertrain. The result is a flagship SUV that feels more refined, more capable, and easier to live with every day.

With seating for up to eight and a quiet, premium interior, the QX80 is ready for school runs, hospital shifts, cyber campus commutes, and Masters week guests.
From the first drive, you feel that INFINITI built this QX80 around comfort, confidence, and modern Japanese luxury instead of just chasing numbers.
2026 INFINITI QX80 Performance, Power, and Towing Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 INFINITI QX80 uses a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 that delivers up to 450 horsepower and 516 lb ft of torque when properly equipped. Power goes through a smooth 9 speed automatic transmission, so the SUV pulls away cleanly from stops and stays relaxed at highway speeds on I 20.
We know local drivers care about real world strength, not only spec sheet bragging rights. The QX80 offers up to 8,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, which is enough for a fishing boat, a camper, or a pair of jet skis headed to Clarks Hill Lake.
Rear wheel drive models suit daily commuting, while available four wheel drive adds extra confidence for wet roads, dirt driveways, and trips across the Carolinas. The ride stays comfortable over patched city streets and long stretches between Augusta and Atlanta.
2026 INFINITI QX80 Design and the First Ever Sport Grade
The new QX80 design stands out the moment you see it on Washington Road. The body lines are clean and strong, with INFINITI’s double arch grille, slim LED headlights, and a full width rear light bar. Flush door handles and tight panel gaps give the SUV a modern, high end look that fits right in at golf clubs and gated communities.
The big news for 2026 is the QX80 Sport. This new grade adds bold 22 inch Sport wheels, dark exterior accents, and unique front and rear styling. From every angle, it looks more aggressive and more athletic without giving up the calm, premium feel.
Inside, the Sport grade can be finished with a rich Dusk Blue interior and semi aniline leather, so the cabin feels special every time you climb in. It is a smart choice for drivers who want their full size SUV to look custom straight from the factory.
2026 INFINITI QX80 Interior, Technology, and Comfort Features
Step inside the 2026 INFINITI QX80, and the focus on comfort is clear. Two large 14.3 inch displays stretch across the dash, with one for the driver’s cluster and one for navigation, audio, and apps. A separate 9 inch haptic screen handles climate and seat controls, so the layout stays clean and easy to use.
We like how the tech supports life in the CSRA instead of getting in the way. Available Google built in, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto help you stay connected, find routes, and keep kids entertained on longer trips. The available Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system with 24 speakers can turn your commute into a private listening room.
Comfort does not stop with sound. Available massaging front seats, heated and ventilated first and second rows, and available heated third row keep everyone relaxed in Georgia heat and cooler months. Biometric Cooling can read second row passenger temperature and direct cool air where it is needed most, which is perfect for little ones in the middle row on hot summer days.

Safety and Driver Assist Features in the 2026 INFINITI QX80
Safety is a top concern for QX80 buyers in our area, and INFINITI responds with a long list of standard and available driver assist features. Systems like forward emergency braking, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert help you stay aware of traffic in busy parking lots and on crowded city streets.
Available ProPILOT Assist can help with steering, braking, and acceleration in certain conditions, which reduces driver workload during steady highway travel on I 20 or Riverwatch Parkway. It does not replace your attention, but it can make long drives less tiring.
An available Around View Monitor with 3D view and Invisible Hood View helps when you park in tight spots, line up in crowded school lanes, or back a trailer toward the water at Clarks Hill Lake. These tools add peace of mind for families who carry kids, friends, and gear every day.
