When comparing the 2025 INFINITI QX80 to the Cadillac Escalade, the QX80 clearly stands out as the smarter, more luxurious choice for discerning buyers. Here’s why:
Performance That Excites
The QX80's twin-turbocharged V6 engine delivers a commanding 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, outclassing the Escalade’s outdated V8 engine. The Escalade produces less torque, which means it doesn’t offer the same thrilling acceleration or towing confidence. Plus, the QX80 manages to provide better fuel efficiency, saving you trips to the pump while still delivering on power.
Luxury Done Right
The QX80 interior is in a league of its own, with semi-aniline leather seating, open-pore ash wood trim, and aluminum accents, ensuring every drive feels like a first-class experience. Cadillac may have larger interior dimensions, but bigger doesn’t mean better. INFINITI prioritizes intelligent design and passenger comfort, meaning you’ll enjoy a perfectly crafted space instead of simply a "big box."
Technology to Keep You Ahead
INFINITI’s dual 14.3-inch displays powered by Google built-in services deliver intuitive, cutting-edge infotainment that works seamlessly with your lifestyle. And with innovations like ProPILOT Assist 2.1, you can experience hands-free highway driving—a feature Cadillac can't match in this price range.
Meanwhile, Cadillac's flashy OLED screens might grab your attention, but they’re more about looks than delivering the effortless functionality that QX80 drivers enjoy every day.
Safety & Practicality
The QX80 goes above and beyond with features like the Front Wide View Camera—perfect for navigating tight spaces— and Biometric Cooling to keep second-row passengers comfortable. While the Escalade offers nice-to-haves like night vision, it lacks the innovation and forward-thinking features that INFINITI drivers love.
Value Where It Matters
Let’s talk numbers. The QX80 starts at $82,450, offering you more power, better fuel economy, and an undeniably superior luxury experience at a better value than the Escalade, which starts higher with fewer practical benefits.
The Verdict?
If you want a large SUV that doesn’t just rely on being “big” but instead delivers true luxury, innovation, and power, the 2025 INFINITI QX80 is the obvious choice. It’s perfect for drivers who demand more from their vehicle without sacrificing sophistication or practicality.
