ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Infiniti Qx80?
The 2024 Infiniti QX80 moves the NHTSA Safety Index one point forward to 82/100 from the 2023 model year's 81/100, both sitting in the Strong band. That incremental gain is modest but consistent. What distinguishes this specific model year most sharply is its defect record: zero recall campaigns and a perfect 20/20 on the defect record component of the Index. That is a meaningful data point for a large, feature-laden SUV where recall activity is common across the segment. The crash-protection score of 52/70 reflects a mixed NHTSA performance - the 5-star side result is genuinely strong, while the 3-star frontal and 3-star rollover scores temper the overall picture. The 22 percent rollover risk is a real consideration for a tall-bodied vehicle, though the dynamic tip test returned a No Tip result. Crash-avoidance technology scores a full 10/10, with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all standard. The complaint file is nearly empty, with one unverified Visibility allegation on record. Taken together, this model year's profile is defined by its clean recall slate and strong avoidance tech rather than by standout crash-test numbers across the board.
