The New Infiniti QX80 Is Already Getting More Expensive

Infiniti is adding a new Sport trim to the QX80 SUV lineup, replacing the Sensory trim. The QX80 is also more expensive for 2026. Check out the details here.

Infiniti updated the QX50 for 2025, but the automaker is already making a few tweaks for the upcoming model year. It's replacing the QX80 Sensory trim with a new Sport grade that features unique styling bits. The QX80 is also more expensive across the board for 2026, partly due to a higher destination charge.

The entry-level QX80 Pure RWD will start at $85,940, and that includes the new $2,190 destination charge. That's $195 more, but it doesn't account for the full price increase over the 2025 model that started at $84,445. The Luxe trim is also $1,495 more expensive for 2026.

The new Sport, which is $1,500 more expensive than the outgoing Sensory grade, features a new front grille, a restyled front bumper, and unique 22-inch wheels, with dark chrome accents on the mirror caps, bumpers, and emblems. Inside, the Sport has a dark blue interior with wood trim and dark chrome accents.

The Sport is only available with four-wheel drive, and it starts at $104,140, slotting just below the Autograph grade that continues to top the QX80’s lineup. The Autograph now costs $113,690 to start, which is $1,100 more than the 2025 model.  

Infiniti equips all QX80 SUVs with its 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine that produces 450 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The engine returns 16 miles per gallon in the city and either 19 mpg with four-wheel drive or 20 mpg with rear-wheel drive.
