2023 INFINITI QX80 / 2023 GMC Yukon Comparison

2023 INFINITI QX80 Compared to the 2023 GMC Yukon

When drivers and their families get into a 2023 INFINITI QX80, they are greeted with a cabin that exemplifies what high-class luxury can be in a functional SUV. Combined with a robust powertrain, traveling across Colorado in a QX80 is an experience that everyone will adore. Options such as the 2023 GMC Yukon find themselves unable to meet the standards set by INFINITI. Whether by a weaker powertrain or other standard INFINITI features that don’t come on the baseline GMC, the Yukon will leave its drivers feeling like they are missing something when compared to the QX80.  

Performance 

Taking command of the 5.6L V8 engine that resides in the 2023 INFINITI QX80, drivers of the luxurious family cruiser will adore the 400 horsepower available to them. This level of performance ensures that getting around town or the highway is a satisfying experience from start to finish. Comparatively, the standard 5.3L V8 that comes with the 2023 Yukon only generates 355 horsepower which leaves a noticeably lacking sense of acceleration between the two SUVs. The standard transmission in the QX80 is a seven-speed automatic, while a ten-speed automatic is found in the GMC. RWD is the standard drivetrain for both SUVs and they can be equipped with available AWD.  

Interior Features

Due to being a luxury SUV, the 2023 INFINITI QX80 comes with standard amenities that the base GMC Yukon lacks. Among them are heated front seating and tri-zone automatic climate control. Similar options are available in select packages and trims of the QX80. This also extends to the infotainment capabilities of both SUVs. While both vehicles are equipped with systems such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for applicable smartphones, the QX80 comes with additional features that are available upgrades in the Yukon. This includes having standard integrated navigation for convenient easy-to-follow directions across the Front Range.  

Safety Features 

Both SUVs are capable family cruisers with their broad selection of driver-assistance technology. However, the INFINITI offers more of the premium features in every QX80 model while the Yukon must be upgraded to select upper-level trims to get the same versatility. Systems such as Lane Departure Warning come standard on the INFINITI and are absent on baseline Yukon models. Adaptive Cruise Control makes every QX80 a premier highway cruiser, while those looking at the Yukon must opt for a more expensive version of the SUV to get the same quality experience.
