The QX80 is INFINITI’s full-size flagship, and it is made for big trips, big trailers and big families. A twin-turbocharged V6, room for up to eight and a cabin built around comfort make it the INFINITI that handles everything from the Sunport run to a camper hauled down to Elephant Butte. At INFINITI of Albuquerque, on Renaissance Boulevard just off I-25, our team can help you compare every QX80 trim and package.
Browse the QX80 inventory above, then use the guides below to find the right combination of seating, comfort and towing equipment for the way you travel across New Mexico.
A 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 makes 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque through a 9-speed automatic. Turbocharging keeps that power strong at high-desert altitude and on long grades like La Bajada on the way to Santa Fe.
When properly equipped, the QX80 tows up to 8,500 lbs, enough for many travel trailers, ski boats and toy haulers. INFINITI notes that maximum towing calls for the right equipment, such as a trailer brake controller and weight-distribution hitch.
Seat up to eight with a second-row bench, or choose second-row captain’s chairs for seven. Power-folding rear seats make it easy to switch from passengers to cargo for a weekend at Ski Santa Fe or a trip up to Taos.
Dual 14.3-inch displays, a panoramic moonroof, available Klipsch audio, available massaging semi-aniline leather seats and available Electronic Air Suspension make the long stretches of I-40 and I-25 feel shorter.
Every QX80 shares the same twin-turbo V6 and 9-speed automatic. Each step up adds comfort, technology and style. Trim content can change by model year, so ask our team to confirm the details on vehicles in stock.

The current QX80 uses a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 rated at 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic. It replaced the earlier 5.6L V8, which you can still find in pre-owned QX80 models.

Both are full-size, three-row luxury SUVs with big towing ratings and tech-forward cabins. The QX80 uses a twin-turbo V6 with 450 hp and tows up to 8,500 lbs, while the Escalade offers V8 power and its own styling and tech. The best way to choose is to sit in both and take each on the highway.
Yes. Its strong turbo V6, available air suspension, available massaging seats and available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 are built for long highway days like Albuquerque to Taos or Durango. Plan fuel stops on rural stretches, since the QX80 is a large, thirsty SUV.
ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is available on the QX80, and INFINITI states it allows hands-off driving in certain highway conditions. Driver attention is always required. Ask us which vehicles in stock include it.
It depends on how long you plan to keep the vehicle and how many miles you drive. New INFINITI models come with factory warranty coverage, and an INFINITI extended warranty can add protection beyond it. Our team can explain the options and current terms.
There is no single right answer. A larger down payment lowers what you finance, while a trade-in can count toward it. Use our payment calculator and talk with our finance team about lease and finance options that fit your budget.
