The New INFINITI QX80 vs. The Lincoln Navigator

QX80: Superior Performance

At first glance, the Lincoln Navigator may look a little more enticing than the QX80. After all, you'll get more horsepower with the Navigator, courtesy of its twin turbocharged V6. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll see why the QX80 has opted for its naturally aspirated V8.

Not only do you get more power to tow up to 8,500 pounds (compared to the Lincoln's 8,300), but you'll also have the assurance of trailer sway control. So, if the winds kick up in Kentucky, you won't have to worry about the extra force on your load.

In addition to better towing capacity and trailer sway, the INFINITI QX80 also comes with forged 22" wheels. The forged element ensures that the wheels grip the road as much as possible, even when the SUV is under pressure. These wheels ensure better handling for the driver, and they're strong enough to ward off everyday wear and tear. (You won't find forged wheels on the Navigator though.)

QX80: Comfort & Convenience

Imagine if every breath you took in your vehicle was as pure and clean as possible. That's exactly what the INFINITI QX80 filtration system was designed to do. With the Navigator, you only get a temperature control system.

In the QX80, all riders can enjoy an auto circulation feature that senses and eliminates nasty odors out of the air. While this is recommended for everyone, it's especially valuable for those who have allergies or underlying breathing conditions.

Finally, when you're in the QX80, you can relax into the soft, warm semi-aniline leather seats, one of the most luxurious materials on the market today. The Venetian leather of the Navigator simply can't compare to the comfort of natural grain. There's nothing like riding along the Big Four Bridge in such style.

QX80: Safety Comes Standard

INFINITI has made a variety of safety features standard that Lincoln has not. With the QX80, drivers can relax knowing that they have predictive forward-collision warning, backup collision intervention, and motion object detection. These elements are designed to give you more control on the road, so you don't have to worry about every sudden event.

The INFINITI QX80 has a number of competitors on the road today, but its benefits speak for themselves. When you test drive an INFINITI QX80 in Louisville, you'll see why this SUV has managed to come out on top in nearly every possible category.
