In the realm of colossal SUVs, Throttle House takes on the Infinity QX80, a beast that's undergone a redesign to shed its previous ghastly appearance. Drawing parallels to the Cadillac Escalade, the QX80 exudes an air of dominance, boasting air Springs, independent rear suspension, and an impressive 8,500 lb towing capacity starting at $82,000. The top-tier Autograph trim enters the ring against the Range Rover Autobiography, signaling Infinity's intent to compete in the luxury SUV arena. Throttle House commends the QX80's winter prowess, thanks to its handy remote start feature, making it a reliable companion in cold climates.

While the QX80's interior may lack originality, resembling its luxury SUV counterparts, it offers innovative features like biometric cooling and advanced seating options. Propelled by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine churning out 450 horsepower, the QX80 delivers a commendable ride but falls short in powertrain refinement compared to its rivals. Throttle House, known for their discerning taste, leans towards the Escalade for its superior driving dynamics, despite recognizing the QX80's functionality and performance. The team's verdict underscores Infinity's efforts to carve a niche in the luxury SUV segment, yet the Escalade remains the pinnacle of opulence and driving pleasure in their eyes.
