Infiniti QX80 Performance Overview

Across 10 verified tests spanning 2015 to 2025, the Infiniti QX80 has remained a full-size body-on-frame SUV with steady straight-line performance rather than large swings between generations. Early Z62 models used the 400-hp naturally aspirated 5.6-liter VK56VD V8, and the first recorded benchmark in this dataset was the 2015 Limited at 6.3 seconds to 60 mph. That improved to 6.2 seconds in the 2016 Limited, before the line reached its quickest verified launch with the 2018 QX80 5.6 at 5.9 seconds to 60 mph.

Through the later Z62 years, output stayed at 400 hp and gasoline power remained the only powertrain. The 2021 Premium Select matched that 5.9-second 0-60 result, showing how consistent the platform remained deep into the generation. Quarter-mile performance across the model averages 14.87 seconds at 95 mph, while the quickest recorded run is 14.5 seconds at 98 mph.

For 2025, the Z63 generation shifts to the 450-hp twin-turbocharged VR35DDTT V6. In tested Autograph form, the new generation has run 6.1 seconds to 60 mph, while another 2025 Autograph test recorded 6.8 seconds, placing today’s QX80 close to the Z62’s established range rather than far beyond it.

How we verify Infiniti QX80 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Infiniti QX80 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Infiniti QX80 performance FAQs

10 questions
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 has recorded 0-60 mph times from 6.1 to 6.8 seconds across three stock Autograph tests. The quickest run is 6.1 seconds, while the three-test average for the new Z63 generation is 6.4 seconds. Quarter-mile times range from 14.5 to 15.2 seconds.
The quickest Infiniti QX80 on record is the 2021 QX80 Premium Select, which reached 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. That run also stands as the fastest overall QX80 result across all 10 verified tests. No modified examples are recorded faster, so the overall leader is also a stock vehicle.
The fastest stock Infiniti QX80 is the 2021 Premium Select at 5.9 seconds to 60 mph. All 10 recorded QX80 tests are production vehicles, so there is no gap between the fastest overall QX80 and the fastest stock one. That makes the 2021 Premium Select the benchmark for stock acceleration.
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph has posted three stock 0-60 mph results: 6.1, 6.3, and 6.8 seconds. Its quickest quarter-mile is 14.5 seconds at 98 mph, which is also the fastest quarter-mile recorded for any QX80. Output is 450 hp and 516 lb-ft from the twin-turbo VR35DDTT V6.
The Z63-generation Infiniti QX80, introduced for 2025, averages 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph across three tests. Its fastest run is 6.1 seconds by the 2025 Autograph. This generation uses a 450-hp twin-turbocharged gasoline powertrain, replacing the naturally aspirated setup used in the earlier Z62 series.
The fastest Z62 Infiniti QX80 is the 2021 Premium Select, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds. Across seven tests, the Z62 series averages 6.23 seconds to 60 mph. Z62 models span 2014 to 2024 and use a naturally aspirated gasoline V8 with output listed at 400 hp.
The Z62 QX80 is quicker on record. It averages 6.23 seconds to 60 mph across seven tests, compared with 6.4 seconds for the Z63 across three tests. The fastest Z62 run is 5.9 seconds, while the fastest Z63 run is 6.1 seconds. So far, the older generation holds both the better average and best single result.
The Autograph and Limited trims are essentially tied by average acceleration. Both average 6.4 seconds from 0-60 mph across three tests. The edge in best single run goes to the Autograph at 6.1 seconds, compared with 6.2 seconds for the Limited. On record, Autograph is slightly quicker at its best, but not by much.
Yes. The quickest Premium Select run is 5.9 seconds to 60 mph, while the best Autograph result is 6.1 seconds. The Premium Select therefore leads by 0.2 second in best recorded 0-60 performance. Across all tested trims, the 2021 Premium Select remains the fastest QX80 variant on record.
Across all 10 QX80 tests, the average quarter-mile time is 14.87 seconds at 95 mph. The quickest quarter-mile on record is 14.5 seconds at 98 mph by the 2025 Autograph. Current-year 2025 examples range from 14.5 to 15.2 seconds in the quarter-mile, depending on the test source and conditions.
