INFINITI QX80
Lexus GX
Who Packs The Most Power?
When you look at the engine size in these SUVs, it is a little surprising to discover that the INFINITI QX80 uses a 3.5L V6 Turbo while the Lexus GX has a 3.4L V6 Turbo. The size difference is minimal, but INFINITI manages to coax over 100 more horsepower from that slightly larger engine to deliver a whopping 450 horses compared to the 349 HP delivered by Lexus.
The significantly greater power in the INFINITI QX80 means it easily handles the added vehicle weight of about 600 pounds over the GX. Equally as impressive is that you can enjoy all that raw power and still see 16 MPG in the city compared to the GX's 15 MPG.

If you are shopping for a full-size SUV, size matters. The QX80 is the winner here. While both vehicles seat seven, the INFINITI QX80 can accommodate an added 22 cubic feet of cargo with those passengers, whereas the GX will only carry 10.3 cubic feet. Fold down the second row, and that capacity jumps to over 100 cubic feet in the INFINITI compared to just over 76 cubic feet in the Lexus.
The wheelbase for the GX is just over 112 inches, while the INFINITI QX80 is just over 121 inches. That added foot adds to the handling, safety, and functionality when taking the QX80 off-road or when navigating any roadway that is not perfectly level.
LEARN MORE >Added Bells, Whistles & Warranty
There are features the INFINITI QX80 includes as standard equipment that the Lexus GX is missing, such as rain-sensing wipers, a panoramic moonroof, and a hands-free motion-activated liftgate. The QX80 also includes an around-view camera and air suspension as standard, putting it just ahead of the Lexus GX.
Finally, consider the warranty. While both allow a four-year warranty, INFINITI caps the mileage at 60K to allow you a great deal of driving pleasure. On the other hand, Lexus only allows 50K miles before the basic warranty expires.
LEARN MORE >Justifying the Investment
In the end, the cost of the INFINITI QX80 is higher than the Lexus GX, but the added features and capability easily justify the price. You are getting an SUV that is filled with technology, comfort features, and safety that is very well equipped and ready to head off-road.
Since the birth of this brand, INFINITI has been setting the bar higher and higher in each vehicle class, and the QX80 is no exception. It is the gold standard for full-size SUVs.
