2019 Infiniti Qx80
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Infiniti QX80 is a full-size, body-on-frame luxury SUV aimed at buyers who want premium appointments, three-row seating, and serious towing capability in a single package. It competes against heavy hitters like the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, positioning itself as a refined alternative with Japanese engineering sensibilities. Its target buyer prioritizes space, presence, and upscale comfort for family hauling or executive transport.
The 2019 Infiniti Qx80 earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 80 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally praise the QX80 for its commanding road presence, spacious three-row interior, and smooth powertrain refinement. Most acknowledge it as a capable and luxurious family hauler. However, professional assessors commonly note that the QX80 trails some rivals in technology integration and that its safety-test performance does not quite match the prestige its price tag suggests.
