Infiniti’s QX80 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 US$ 69,059 for the 2WD model and US$ 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.
