Power and Performance
The 2025 INFINITI QX80 makes a strong entrance into the full-size luxury SUV segment with its new standard 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. There are several notable performance features to consider, including:
- 450 horsepower
- 516 lb-ft of torque
- 9-speed automatic transmission
- Available All-Mode 4WD with dedicated Off-Road mode
- 8,500 lbs maximum towing capacity
In comparison, the BMW X7's base xDrive40i model utilizes a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, providing:
- 375 horsepower
- 398 lb-ft of torque
- Maximum towing capacity of 7,500 lbs
While the upgrade BMW X7 M60i trim delivers higher performance numbers (523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque), the QX80 impressively provides substantial power right from the base model.
Fuel efficiency ratings for the QX80 are approximately 17 MPG combined (16 city/20 highway), slightly trailing behind the X7 xDrive40i’s 22 MPG combined (20 city/24 highway). However, the QX80’s robust body-on-frame design, advanced suspension systems, and off-road capabilities offer enhanced versatility, perfect for rough winter weather, gravel roads, or occasional off-pavement adventures. In contrast, the BMW X7 emphasizes sporty handling ideal for urban driving.
Interior and Comfort: Finely Crafted Luxury
Inside, the QX80 places comfort and usability front and center with dual 14.3-inch digital displays featuring Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Genuine leather upholstery is standard from the Luxe trim upward, with premium quilted semi-aniline leather, open-pore wood, and aluminum accents available in higher trims. The QX80 comfortably accommodates up to eight passengers, with optional second-row captain's chairs offering heating, ventilation, and massage functions on the Sensory and Autograph trims—luxury typically reserved for ultra-premium SUVs. In contrast, the BMW X7 offers standard synthetic upholstery on lower trims and only provides second-row heated captain's chairs without ventilation or massage capabilities. Its third-row seating is notably more compact, best suited for smaller passengers or short trips.
INFINITI amplifies in-cabin luxury with standard ambient lighting, tri-zone climate control, and an available premium 24-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere audio system. While the BMW X7 counters with a 20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond audio system and a sleek curved infotainment display, the QX80 excels in usability, combining intuitive physical controls alongside its touchscreen interfaces.
Top of the Line Safety Tech
On safety technology, the 2025 QX80 takes the lead as an IIHS Top Safety Pick--for two years and counting. This luxury SUV offers extensive standard driver-assistance features across all trims, including:
- Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Prevention
- Rear Automatic Braking
The 2025 BMW X7 also showcases several of these features as standard, among other safety features. Both of these SUVs are heavily equipped to keep you and yours safe out on the road
However, the 2025 INFINITI QX80 offers advanced safety features on higher trims, such as:
- "Invisible Hood" Camera
- Front Wide View Camera
- Digital Smart Rearview Mirror
- Backup Collision Prevention
INFINITI further exemplifies its capability with the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1, enabling hands-free driving on compatible highways through driver monitoring and 3D high-definition mapping for adaptive control of speed, steering, and braking. By comparison, the 2025 BMW X7 offers an available Driving Assistance Professional Package on upper trims, which includes the Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change, supporting hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph. While both safety systems share comparable qualities, the QX80’s semi-autonomous highway proficiency remain notably intuitive and user-friendly, providing greater flexibility for daily commuting and extended journeys. With comprehensive safety technology standard and thoughtfully implemented, the QX80 is a compelling choice for St. Louis families who prioritize safety, convenience, and peace of mind behind the wheel.
