2014 INFINITI QX80 SPORT UTILITY 4D

Atlanta’s premier Luxury Buy Here Pay Here Dealership.

For 2014, the QX80 badge replaces the QX56 nameplate, but the vehicle, a full-size luxury SUV, is essentially the same. It only adds confusion to a vehicle that's already confusingly good on many fronts; there's a lot to appreciate, badging aside. The QX80 is the best Infiniti SUV to date–and superior to at least a few of its competitors. At the same time, it's also a gas-guzzler without an alternative drivetrain in sight, though it's built in Japan by the company responsible for pioneering the first mass-market electric car, ever.

The QX80 isn't quite the tech orgy you’ll find inside a Lincoln MKT or a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, but Infiniti's big SUV does come standard with the usual power features; navigation with a hard drive for maps and music; DVD audio and satellite radio; 20-inch wheels; a moonroof; a power tailgate; Bluetooth with audio streaming; pushbutton start; USB connectivity for audio players; and leather trim. This year, a backup collision intervention system also makes its way to the technology package. At a base price of just about $61,000, its chief competition lies in the GL-Class and Navigator, while the much more pricey Range Rover and Escalade are thousands more--and they don't include the sublime Infiniti ownership experience.

Push the start button, and the QX rumbles to life. There's a 5.6-liter V-8–one shared with the Nissan Titan and Armada–under the hood, but the QX's exhaust sounds more lush and refined than NASCAR race-ready. The engine produces 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and it's connected the rear- or four-wheel-drive system by a seven-speed automatic transmission. It's a strong, silent type of powertrain that pushes the QX80 to 60 mph in about seven seconds, according to Infiniti's estimates.
