Probably the biggest hesitance I have in getting behind the wheel of a full-size 3-row SUV, one that is tall, wide and powerful, is the idea that it’ll be unwieldy to drive. That I’ll need to park at the far corner of the parking lot just to get in and out of it. That I’ll always be intimidated by it. That its sheer size will exhaust me. That’s what I worried about when I test drove the Infiniti QX80

And, then I took the wheel for a day of driving city and country roads and all my fears were gone. Why? That’s the magic of a well-designed SUV: You sit up high so you have great visibility, to start with. You quickly learn where its corners are. Its systems are designed to be intuitive, so you can focus on the road and still tune the radio station or change the fan speed. 

And ultimately, its power becomes your power. Time in the 2025 Infiniti QX80, priced from $82K to $110K, was a delight. I will confess, the top-of-the-line Autograph edition the we test drove would not be my choice in this lineup—and I’m a fan of this car for many reasons. But I’ll get to that. First, let me tell you what this car is all about for the 2025 model.
