ALWAYS IN COMMAND
DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES
The QX80’s Driver Assist Technologies anticipate what’s in your path, helping you respond faster when obstacles are near. They make every manoeuvre more exact, more effortless – only taking over when it’s absolutely crucial. Now this full-size SUV equips you with the most standard safety innovations in our lineup. Discover these smart technologies and elevate every ride.
BETTER BACKUP
See what’s behind you with exceptional clarity. The Smart Rear View Mirror keeps your sightlines free of passengers and cargo. It even helps you see better at night. The toggle transforms your mirror into an LCD screen, displaying an enhanced view from a high-resolution camera. So a full vehicle can still mean full visibility.[[202]]
RESPOND TO THE UNEXPECTED
Stay in command despite slick terrain. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) works with the Traction Control System (TCS) to help correct steering when you begin to swerve. It can automatically apply select brakes and adjust engine output to help reduce wheelspin. That allows your rear tires to gain a better grip, so you can forge ahead confidently.[[290]]
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with Pedestrian Detection
World’s First Technology
React instantly. The QX80 senses when cars or pedestrians are directly in your path. It can automatically release the throttle and apply the brakes, to help you stay clear of danger. This advanced system comes standard on every 2021 QX80. [[230]]
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) & Intervention®
World’s First Technology
Enhance your awareness. The QX80 alerts you when someone is in your blind spot. If you begin to change lanes, your steering adjusts, automatically guiding you back to safety, away from vehicles in the neighbouring lane. Blind Spot Warning comes standard on every 2021 QX80.[[24]]
Lane Departure Warning & Prevention (LDP)
World’s First Technology
Stay centered on every journey. The QX80 monitors lane markings, letting you know when you start to drift. If you cross over the lines, it eases you back to the centre of your lane, without overriding your control. Lane Departure Warning comes standard on every 2021 QX80.[[221]]
Backup Collision Intervention (BCI) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
World’s First Technology
Back up with confidence. Your QX80 senses what’s in the way while you reverse, coming to a complete stop when obstacles are near. It also lets you know when other vehicles are approaching from either side, so you can stay clear of crossing traffic. This advanced system comes standard on every 2021 QX80.[[206]]
Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW)
World’s First Technology
Anticipate what’s up the road. The QX80 can monitor the two cars ahead, sensing their speed and distance. It alerts you when one suddenly slows down, so you can respond in an instant. Find this standard feature on every 2021 QX80. [[230]]
Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-speed Range)
World’s First Technology
Set your pace and go. The QX80 keeps your desired distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically decelerating as traffic slows. Once the way clears, it resumes your pre-set speed, so you can move forward with minimal effort. [[21]]
Distance Control Assist (DCA)
Master stop-and-go traffic. The QX80 alerts you when your following distance becomes too close, automatically applying the brakes to help maintain your space. [[222]]
HEIGHTENED AWARENESS
Around View® Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD)
The world’s first Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection helps you park with finesse. Using four cameras and advanced software, it gives you a virtual 360° view of your vehicle from above. It also alerts you when something is moving nearby, so you can manoeuvre confidently, no matter the space. [[156]]
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
ENHANCED PROTECTION
INFINITI’s Advanced Airbag System (AABS) uses cutting-edge technology to help protect you in a collision. Dual-stage supplemental front airbags inflate at different rates, based on impact and seat belt usage. There are also supplemental airbags on the seats and roof for added protection.[[157]][[211]]
SOPHISTICATED STRENGTH
We built the QX80’s frame to be as safe as it is elegant. Specially designed Zone Body Construction works to protect you and your passengers when a collision occurs. Its front and rear crumple zones absorb force, so you are better isolated from the impact.
