Luxury comes in many forms. There’s attention-demanding boldness that you find with the Cadillac Escalade, courtesy of its geometric design, striking LED headlights, and an illuminated crest that ensures you’re always seen. This style is perfect for those who thrive in the spotlight. But then there’s a quieter elegance, one that the INFINITI QX80 offers. Its softened edges and unified profile guide the eye effortlessly, creating a sense of seamless sophistication.

Rich, vibrant hues like Black Obsidian and Grand Blue enhance the QX80’s refined aesthetic, while digital piano key lighting adds a touch of uniqueness. The QX80 doesn’t demand attention—it earns it with a timeless design that leaves a lasting impression. If you value understated opulence over head-turning flash, the QX80 is your perfect match.

The INFINITI QX80 and the Cadillac Escalade offer interiors designed to impress, blending premium materials with cutting-edge features. Available semi-aniline leather seats, intricate stitching, and thoughtful details create a sense of indulgence. Both SUVs also share several standard and available standout features, including:

• Multi-color ambient interior lighting
• Heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats
• Expansive panoramic roofs

But how much is too much? The Escalade’s 126-color ambient lighting feels excessive, pushing the boundaries of opulence. In contrast, the QX80’s 64-color palette proves less is more, focusing on refinement over extravagance. It knows when to enhance with purpose, like its exclusive Biometric Cooling technology. Paired with Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, this system adjusts to each passenger’s unique needs, ensuring unmatched comfort for every journey.

The INFINITI QX80 and the Cadillac Escalade provide spacious second- and third-row seating, perfect for any growing family. Their similar lengths—both models are just over 211 inches long—mean there's ample space inside the cabin for passengers and travel gear.

However, the QX80's slightly smaller width makes parking easier without compromising comfort. Though impressive in space, the Escalade may feel unwieldy, especially in tighter parking spots.

Inside, both SUVs feature comparable seating configurations, but the QX80 goes further with optional second-row captain's chairs. These massaging seats enhance comfort, ensuring passengers enjoy a more relaxing journey. Whether for extended trips or the ride home after a grueling dance rehearsal, the QX80 provides superior family-oriented features without overwhelming size.

With your family on board, safety is more important than ever. The INFINITI QX80 and the Cadillac Escalade are equipped with advanced driver-assist features like forward collision warning with emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and blind spot warning, offering peace of mind behind the wheel. But the QX80 adds exclusive technologies that take safety to the next level:

• Front Wide View: Consider it your SUV's 'third eye.' This feature provides a 180-degree view of the road ahead, helping you spot potential hazards with ample time to make corrections.
• Invisible Hood View: It might not be X-ray vision, but it’s close! This feature lets you see the road directly beneath the hood, giving you a clearer view of the terrain you can't usually see, especially when navigating obstacles.

These exclusive features in the QX80 provide an added layer of confidence, helping you navigate with precision and ensuring the safety of everyone inside. When it comes to family-oriented SUVs, the QX80 offers unmatched protection.

Regarding performance, the INFINITI QX80 and the Cadillac Escalade shine on any terrain. Both SUVs can raise or lower their height for optimal driving conditions thanks to the standard or optional Electric Air Suspension. Whether conquering mountainous backroads or cruising down smooth highways, these systems ensure a comfortable and capable ride.

Regarding everyday cruising, which will offer the more potent, exciting ride?

The QX80's impressive towing capacity and potent engine output give it an edge in versatility and performance. Whether you're hauling heavy loads or seeking thrilling drives, the QX80 delivers the power and capability you need. Its performance-oriented features ensure that your adventures are without limit.

The INFINITI QX80 and the Cadillac Escalade come packed with cutting-edge technology. With expansive screens exceeding 24 inches and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™to keep your devices connected effortlessly, you’ll experience non-stop entertainment whether you're on a solo drive or traveling with family. Standard Google built-in also makes navigation easier than ever, streamlining convenience on the go.

Both SUVs offer available premium audio systems with over 20 strategically placed speakers. The Escalade impresses with the AKG Studio Reference speaker system, while the QX80 provides the segment-first partnership with Klipsch®. Each system delivers an immersive listening experience, but key differences set them apart.

While the Escalade has more speakers, the QX80 offers more capabilities. The segment-first Individual Audio feature sets it apart from the Escalade. This innovation isolates phone calls to the driver’s seat with built-in speakers while letting the rest of the cabin enjoy uninterrupted music, making for an unrivaled in-vehicle experience.
