Confidence is essential when planning a new adventure, so your SUV should exceed your expectations. Both the QX80 and the Armada have available 4-wheel drive systems. Intelligent 4WD in the Armada and INFINITI All-Mode 4WD® in the QX80 prepare you for wet pavement, bumpy terrain, and all other road conditions you’ll encounter.

A full-size SUV is also a great option for towing gear. Thanks to powerful engineering native to the QX80 and the Armada, it’s possible to bring along extra gear for an adventure or a trailer of your belongings for a big move. Each SUV has a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds, allowing you to haul tons of equipment—literally.

The motor is the most important aspect of an SUV’s engineering, enabling all its other capabilities. Confidence will soar when your engine roars to life as you’ll have all the power at your command. Both models have robust engines that can take your entire party on vacations and other excursions, though one has added power.

The INFINITI QX80 comes standard with the 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine, similar to the one found in the Armada. Each model generates 516 lb-ft of torque for massive potential when you demand more strength from your vehicle. The QX80, however, outpowers the Armada with its 450 horsepower output, taking a narrow victory over the 425-horsepower Nissan.

Exterior lights do more than illuminate your path. They alert other drivers to your presence and help passengers safely return to the cabin. The QX80 and the Armada each have LED headlights and high beams for clear vision, though their auxiliary lights are where the difference lies.

The QX80 has unique piano key lighting along its tailgate to add a rhythmic flair. The available INFINITI Light Path projects rays of light to guide you to the doors. It’s an exclusive INFINITI feature that creates a dignified look while serving a purpose.

Stylish rims add an extra layer of visual appeal to your SUV. Shiny metal and sleek angles draw the eye, complementing vibrant paint finishes that signal your approach. Size is another important factor for your wheels, where bigger rims offer an imposing presence and extra capability for tricky road conditions.

The QX80 and the Armada both offer available 22-inch wheels that demand attention and easily conquer the landscape. The Armada features 18-inch wheels at its base model, significantly smaller than the maximum size. The QX80, on the other hand, has standard 20-inch wheels that still make your presence known while providing a firm foundation for your ride.

Each SUV has a large cabin that can easily accommodate your entire family. The 3-row cabins can seat up to eight riders, with the option of second-row captain’s chairs to seat seven. There’s ample space in both vehicles to stretch out and settle in comfortably.

Front-row seats offer enhanced comfort in each vehicle. Multi-direction power adjustment, climate control, and even available massage functions contribute to a more luxurious driving experience. Both models are made with the utmost comfort in mind, especially for you and your copilot, making either model a smart choice for your future road trips.

Sitting in the cockpit, you’ll be greeted by dual infotainment screens that make operating apps and systems easy. The Armada uses two 12.3-inch screens that span the instrument cluster and central dashboard. The INFINITI QX80 takes that a few steps further with two 14.3-inch Monolith infotainment screens, offering sharp resolution and a clearer view of vital statistics and controls.

Once you connect your phone, you’ll be ready to stream your favorite playlist for those highway drives. Each model uses Klipsch® premium audio systems to enrich the cabin with high-fidelity surround sound. The Armada features up to 12 speakers, which is what the QX80 offers as standard. INFINITI takes your audio experience to the next level with up to 24 speakers available.
