A New Icon of Luxury
INFINITI QX80 vs. Cadillac Escalade
Rethink what luxury can be, in an SUV that challenges the status quo. The 2021 INFINITI QX80 brings purpose and serenity to every drive. Seating up to eight, it delivers first-class comfort in all three rows. Then it raises the bar, with superior cargo space, safety and more. Compare it to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade and the choice becomes clear. This is luxury made for real life.

More Cargo Space
Whether you're travelling alone or with company, the INFINITI QX80 provides ample room for storage. Start with all the seats upright and access 470 litres of space. Fold them down to make use of the maximum cargo capacity – up to 2,694 litres. That outmatches the Cadillac Escalade, whose cargo volume isn't quite as generous.

Intelligence with Elegance
Superior Safety
Inside the QX80, advanced Driver Assist Technologies heighten control. Designed to alleviate stress at the wheel, they detect what you might not see, and step in when you need an assist. Discover the INFINITI innovations that outthink and outdrive the Cadillac Escalade.
An Extra Set of Eyes
Predictive Forward Collision Warning helps you anticipate hazards and react fast. Standard on the INFINITI QX80, the system monitors traffic up to two cars ahead. It lets you know when one suddenly slows down, so you can avoid a collision. You won't experience innovation like this in the latest Cadillac Escalade. [[207]]
More Than Just a Warning
Blind Spot Intervention® offers another layer of protection. Available on the QX80, it alerts you when a vehicle appears in your blind spot. If you begin to cross over the lines, the system can make subtle steering adjustments to guide you back to your lane. That's one step further than the Escalade, which offers little more than a warning. [[217]]

Performance That Rises Above
Higher Towing Capacity
Innovation meets muscle in the INFINITI QX80. This luxurious SUV puts an impressive 400-horsepower V8 engine at your beck and call. Balancing brute force with engineering finesse, it delivers top-tier capability. Tap into a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 lbs. and bring more on your next weekend away. That's well above the Cadillac Escalade, which peaks at just 7,900 lbs.
