For the 2027 model year, Infiniti has improved the QX80 with the option of ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for the Luxe trim, but no matter which trim you choose, there’s good news in the form of a lower price than the 2026 model. The full-size luxury SUV’s destination charge has risen from $2,190 for 2026 to $2,245 for the 2027 model year, but each trim is more affordable, with some benefitting from a cut of a few hundred dollars and others shedding five figures from the base MSRP. Let’s take a closer look to see how each grade has been affected.
2027 Infiniti QX80 Lineup Still Offers Variety
For 2027, the Infiniti QX80 is available in Pure, Luxe, Sport, and Autograph flavors. The base Pure derivative offers 20-inch wheels, a pair of 14.3-inch displays with Google built-in, a Klipsch 14-speaker sound system, wireless device charging, eight USB-C ports, heating for the first two rows of seating, and ProPILOT Assist, all for $85,590 ($88,590 with 4WD). For 2026, the same trim with the same features started at $85,940 ($89,040 with 4WD), making the 2027 model $350 cheaper in base form and $450 more affordable with all four wheels driven. Speaking of drive, all QX80 SUVs continue to be powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 developing 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, providing a standard tow rating of 8,500 lbs.
Next in the range is the QX80 Luxe, adding electronic air suspension and Dynamic Digital Suspension, a color head-up display, climate control for the first two rows of seats, 22-inch wheels, and a remote control rear seat. This is the only trim that has seen any updates, gaining the option of ProPILOT Assist 2.1, enabling hands-off highway driving for $3,300. The Luxe starts at $91,590 ($94,590 with 4WD) for 2027, a saving of $1,450 over 2026 ($1,550 less for the 4WD option).
The penultimate model in the range is the Infiniti QX80 Sport (pictured above), which is only available with 4WD and starts at $102,590, a $1,550 drop from the 2026 models $104,140 base MSRP. This gets a unique look with sporty 22-inch wheels, dark chrome exterior accents, and semi-aniline upholstery for all seats except the third row. There are also 10 more speakers than usual, thanks to the Klipsch 24-speaker Reference Premiere Audio system, and outside, the QX80 Sport casts a light path on the ground. Other highlights of the trim include massaging front seats, customizable ambient lighting, and a frameless smart rearview mirror.
Finally, the 2027 Infiniti QX80 Autograph, also an AWD model, starts at $112,990, or $700 less than the 2026 offering. This gets unique 22-inch wheels, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 as standard, massaging for the second-row seats, semi-aniline leather for all rows (with heating added for the third row), a cooler box in the front console, and open-pore ash wood-toned trim with metal inlays.
More to Come: Infiniti QX80 Range Expected to Expand
As impressive and well-rounded as the current QX80 lineup is, Infiniti has more coming. Nissan‘s luxury arm is working on a performance division, and the QX80 is said to be one of the first candidates for enhancement, with a 600-hp variant planned to begin with and a 700-hp version potentially coming later. Infiniti received plenty of positive feedback from its 1,000-hp GT-R-powered R-Spec concept at last year’s SEMA show, but testing the waters with something less extreme, both in terms of performance and price, makes sense. We should know more before next year, when low-volume production of sportier Infiniti trims is expected to begin.
