Pictured: 2026 INFINITI QX80
Four Trims, One Flagship SUV
The 2027 QX80 comes in four trims — PURE, LUXE, SPORT, and AUTOGRAPH — all sharing the same twin-turbocharged V6 and INFINITI All-Mode 4WD. Every QX80 at Jim Coleman INFINITI of Bethesda has that same drivetrain, so the choice comes down to comfort, materials, and driver-assist tech.
ProPILOT Assist comes standard on every trim, helping with lane position and following distance during the daily merge onto I-270 or I-495. AUTOGRAPH steps up to hands-off ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for longer highway stretches.

Breaking Down QX80 Trim Level Differences in Bethesda, MD
The comparison table above covers the specs side by side—here's a closer look at what each trim actually adds as you move up the lineup.
PURE
The entry point into the QX80 lineup still gets the full 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and All-Mode 4WD. Seating uses TailorFit-appointed material, and the 8-passenger bench configuration is available if you need the extra seat. ProPILOT Assist, Tri-Zone Automatic climate, and a 14-speaker Klipsch audio system round out the standard equipment.
LUXE
LUXE moves to leather-appointed seating with heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, larger 22-inch wheels, and Dynamic Digital Suspension for a more composed ride. A memory driver's seat and 4-way power lumbar are also added over PURE.
SPORT
Replacing the SENSORY trim for 2027, SPORT pairs a blacked-out exterior, dark chrome grille, black roof rails, and unique wheels with semi-aniline leather, massaging front seats, and a 24-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system. A front and rear dash camera tops it off.
AUTOGRAPH
The range-topping trim adds dot-quilted semi-aniline leather across all three rows, second-row massaging seats, heated third-row seats, and hands-off ProPILOT Assist 2.1. A cabin-facing camera and a household 120V outlet are exclusive to AUTOGRAPH.
Which Trim Level Is Right for Me?
PURE suits value-minded drivers who want the QX80's full-size capability and V6 power without paying for the extra materials and tech higher up the lineup. A solid pick if you mainly need three-row seating for a growing family.
LUXE fits daily commuters who want more comfort baked in: heated and ventilated seats front and back, a smoother-riding suspension, and more supportive seating for longer drives without stepping all the way up to SPORT or AUTOGRAPH pricing.
SPORT is built for drivers who want a bolder, blacked-out look along with a genuinely upgraded sound system and massaging front seats. A trim aimed at buyers who care as much about how the QX80 looks and sounds as how it rides.
AUTOGRAPH is the choice for buyers who want the full flagship experience: rear-seat passengers get the same massaging comfort as the front row, the technology suite is the most hands-off in the lineup, and the materials are the richest INFINITI offers on the QX80.
This Jim Coleman INFINITI of Bethesda guide reflects confirmed U.S.-market details from INFINITI's official 2027 QX80 models and specs page, including trim equipment, interior materials, and driver-assist technology.
