Power & Performance
When it comes to luxury cruising, all three QX80 trim models have a lot in common. Each comes with the same 400-horsepower V8 engine and seven-speed automatic transmission, which combine forces to create a smooth, quick performance. And each trim offers optional four-wheel drive, technology that really comes in handy in off-road situations, from sandy beach paths to muddy camping grounds.
Properly equipped, the QX80 trim models can tow max loads of 8,500 pounds. For anyone with a hefty camper or boat at home, then, this three-row luxury SUV is an excellent option.
