The Tech Features Defining Luxury in the 2026 INFINITI QX80

The 2026 INFINITI QX80 integrates advanced technology with refined luxury across three trim levels - LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH. This full-size luxury SUV delivers segment-exclusive audio innovations, intelligent climate systems, and sophisticated camera technologies that transform every journey. Each trim builds on a strong foundation of capabilities, with SPORT and AUTOGRAPH grades introducing increasingly refined technologies designed to anticipate passenger needs and simplify complex driving scenarios.

Understanding what sets each QX80 trim apart helps drivers identify which configuration best matches their priorities. From concert hall acoustics to biometric comfort monitoring, the QX80's feature progression demonstrates how purposeful technology enhances the luxury SUV experience.

Klipsch Audio Systems: Concert Hall Performance

The QX80's partnership with legendary audio manufacturer Klipsch delivers immersive sound quality that rivals dedicated home theatre systems. The LUXE trim establishes a strong foundation with a 14-speaker Klipsch audio system featuring 600 watts of total power through a 12-channel amplifier. This configuration includes Active Sound Enhancement and a dedicated subwoofer, creating rich, balanced audio throughout the cabin.

SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims advance the experience with the Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System. This setup deploys 24 speakers strategically positioned throughout all three rows, delivering 1,200 watts of power through a 24-channel amplifier. Distinguishing components include titanium tweeters for crystal-clear high frequencies, four High Line roof-mounted speakers for enhanced spatial audio, and an 8-inch TriPower subwoofer that produces deep, controlled bass without distortion.

The segment-exclusive Individual Audio feature, available in SPORT and AUTOGRAPH grades, allows the driver to isolate specific audio elements - navigation directions, phone calls, or music - to their seat only. A driver can conduct a private phone conversation while passengers continue enjoying their music, or listen to a personal playlist with navigation guidance without disturbing sleeping family members in the rear seats. Individual Audio headrests in the front seats deliver this focused sound experience.

Biometric Cooling: Intelligent Climate Management

SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims introduce Biometric Cooling, a segment-first technology that actively monitors second-row passenger comfort. An infrared sensor integrated into the vehicle's headliner continuously detects when passengers are warm and automatically adjusts temperature settings and airflow direction to deliver targeted cooling to the second row.

This intelligent system eliminates the need for passengers to manually adjust climate controls during long journeys. The technology works in conjunction with the QX80's Advanced Climate Control System, which includes auto recirculation, a Plasmacluster air purifier, and a Grape Polyphenol Filter to maintain cabin air quality.

All QX80 trims provide heated and climate-controlled seats in the first and second rows as standard equipment. AUTOGRAPH grade extends heated seating to the third row and adds massaging functionality to the second-row seats alongside the front seats. The AUTOGRAPH's second-row console features a touchscreen that allows rear passengers to control their own climate settings and seat adjustments independently.

Advanced Camera Systems: Enhanced Visibility

The QX80 deploys multiple camera technologies to simplify challenging driving situations. Front Wide View uses camera information to provide a 170-degree viewing angle to the sides of the vehicle, allowing drivers to see past parked cars or around tight garage corners when pulling forward. This wide perspective proves valuable when navigating crowded parking structures or narrow urban streets.

Invisible Hood View employs advanced image processing to project footage from the vehicle's exterior cameras onto the dual 14.3-inch displays, creating a transparent view through the engine bay. This feature helps drivers spot curbs in narrow drive-through lanes, car wash tracks, and other obstacles directly in front of the vehicle that would otherwise remain hidden.

Both Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View extend across both 14.3-inch screens when combined with the world-first Ultra Wide View, providing an expansive perspective.

The standard 3D Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection offers eight pre-selected viewing angles and a 3D spin function, providing natural viewpoints of the vehicle's surroundings during parking and manoeuvring. This system helps drivers evaluate nearby obstacles and detect movement around the vehicle.

INFINITI InTouch: Connected Technology

All QX80 trims feature the INFINITI InTouch system with dual 14.3-inch displays. The driver-facing screen offers three configurable meter views - Classic, Elegant, and Enhanced - while a standard colour head-up display projects key information into the driver's sight line. The centre display integrates Google built-in, providing always-updated Google Maps for efficient navigation and access to favourite apps through Google Play.

Google Assistant enables natural-language voice commands, allowing drivers to make requests like "Hey Google, turn on my heated seat" or "Hey Google, navigate to my office" without taking hands off the wheel. A 9-inch touchscreen mounted below the main infotainment display provides dedicated controls for all climate functions, front seat heating and cooling operations, and drive mode selection.

The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, ensuring smartphone connectivity regardless of device preference. INFINITI InTouch Services with a 5G Wi-Fi Hotspot keeps all passengers connected, while eight USB Type-C ports throughout the cabin - featuring up to 15-watt/3.0-amp power ratings - ensure devices charge rapidly. A wireless phone charger in the front centre console eliminates cable clutter.

Personalized Lighting and Comfort Details

SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims offer 64-colour Personalized Ambient Lighting, incorporating light pipes throughout the dashboard and doors. This customizable illumination allows drivers to set the cabin atmosphere to match their mood or preference, creating a more personalized luxury environment.

The INFINITI Light Path, available on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH grades, creates a dramatic welcome sequence when the vehicle unlocks. The INFINITI emblem illuminates first, followed by individual elements in the daytime running lights activating from the centre outward. The sequence culminates in a ground projection featuring the INFINITI wordmark and geometric wing shapes.

AUTOGRAPH grade introduces additional refinements including a front console cool box and an In-Car Camera. Both SPORT and AUTOGRAPH trims include Front and Rear Digital Video Recorders as standard equipment. The AUTOGRAPH's open pore ash wood trim features aluminum inlay for a sophisticated aesthetic, while semi-aniline leather appointments with unique dot stitching and quilting extend to all three rows.
