Infiniti’s QX80 SUV has been upgraded for the 2021 model year, as it now features a new Smart Rearview Mirror (SRVM) system with improved high-definition clarity, as well as a wider screen size for better visibility.
Buyers can choose between Luxe, Premium Select and Sensory grades, with prices starting from $69,059 for the 2WD model and $72,150 for the 4WD spec. The previously-mentioned SRVM system is available on all grades.
Thanks to its wider 9.6-inch display, high-res camera and LED Flicker Mitigation Technology, the SRVM system can give drivers more confidence behind the wheel. The tech first appeared back in 2018 during the QX80’s last major update, and is now in its second generation.
The entry-level Luxe grade gets a wide range of driver-assist technologies as standard, such as Blind Spot Intervention, Lane Departure Prevention, Distance Control Assist, a Rear Seat Belt Reminder and an upgraded Intelligent Cruise Control system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available.
If you opt for the Premium Select instead, you get a bunch of exterior trim enhancements as seen on the limited-run 2020 QX80 ‘Edition 30’ variant – like dark chrome and black highlights on grille, fender vents, door mirror caps and rear tailgate strip. This model also comes with dark chrome 22-inch alloys, while the interior can be specified with either Graphite, Truffle Brown or Sahara Stone colors, plus a revised Matte Brown accent trim.
As for the top-spec Sensory grade, it offers quilted semi-aniline leather seats and a Charcoal Burl trim with a new graphite tricot headliner. You also get 22-inch wheels, chrome mirror caps and the carmaker’s Hydraulic Body Motion Control System as standard.
