Miami, FL — The redesigned 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport is arriving in South Florida with an aggressive new look and enhanced performance credentials, offering local drivers a blend of luxury, capability, and practical utility suited for Miami-Dade County’s diverse driving conditions. The full-size SUV debuts with sharper styling, robust powertrain options, and a thoroughly reimagined cabin experience.
The 2026 QX80 Sport presents a dramatically updated exterior that emphasizes a more athletic silhouette and bold aesthetic cues. Exclusive dark chrome accents and 22-inch wheels contribute to its commanding presence on streets from Coral Gables to Coconut Grove and beyond.
Under the hood, the new Sport trim is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing up to 450 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive. This configuration delivers confident acceleration and strong performance for highway merging and long-distance travel: attributes especially valued by South Florida drivers who frequently navigate both urban traffic and coastal highways.
Inside, the QX80 Sport elevates traditional SUV luxury with premium materials, thoughtful design, and modern technology. Available features include semi-aniline leather seating, open-pore wood accents, and layered LED ambient lighting that creates a lounge-like atmosphere for passengers. Dual 14.3-inch display screens with Google-built-in software provide intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle functions.
Standard three-row seating accommodates up to seven passengers, with heated third-row options reinforcing the SUV’s appeal for family and group travel: from school drop-offs around Miami-Dade to weekend getaways in the Florida Keys.
At over 211 inches long and 83 inches wide, the QX80 Sport is a substantial vehicle that offers enhanced cabin and cargo space. While its size may require mindful parking in tighter urban garages, available camera systems, sensors, and electronic air suspension help make maneuvering in metropolitan areas more manageable.
Fuel economy figures (approximately 16 mpg city and 19 mpg highway) reflect the performance-oriented nature of this full-size SUV. Though not designed for maximum efficiency, the trade-off for power and capability resonates with buyers in the luxury SUV segment.
With a starting price in the six-figure range for the Sport 4WD trim, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport competes with other premium SUVs while aiming to deliver a commanding driving experience without excessive pricing.
For Miami drivers seeking a combination of premium interior appointments, confident road presence, and strong towing capability (up to 8,500 pounds), the updated QX80 Sport offers a compelling choice, particularly for those who regularly balance family duties, professional travel, and weekend excursions.
As Miami’s automotive landscape continues to evolve with new luxury models and tech-rich vehicles, the arrival of the 2026 Infiniti QX80 Sport underscores a growing consumer appetite for vehicles that blend performance, refinement, and everyday practicality on South Florida roads.
