2018 Infiniti QX80 is a refined Goliath

A more traditional, upright face replaces the QX80's controversial front end.

The QX80 has always delivered a posh ride with surprising performance, and the 2018 shouldn't change that.

A redesigned rear end includes a more squared-off rear fascia and slimmer tail-lamps.

The QX80's excellent quilted leather surfaces to have made the transition to this 2018 model, but the seats are new.

The new, more upright grille necessitates a higher hoodline.

The Infiniti QX80's underpinnings date back to the 2011 model year.

There's updated infotainment and a redesigned center console for brought-in tech like larger phones and tablets.

The QX80 has never been short on cabin space.

A 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 remains the only engine on offer in North America.
