2025 INFINITI QX80 Compared to the 2024 Cadillac Escalade 

How does the 2025 INFINITI QX80 compare to the 2024 Cadillac Escalade? The newly refreshed QX80 offers plenty of reasons to choose it over the dated Cadillac Escalade. Not only does the QX80 have a more substantial engine at its command, but it also comes with a selection of features that make it a top choice when cruising around the Denver Metro region. For a majestic and robust SUV option in the Front Range, the 2025 QX80 offers an all-around dynamic ride that meets the discerning expectations of today’s customers and their families. 

Performance 

• Greater Performance Generated by the New Engine in the 2025 QX80 Over the Escalade
• Standard RWD Platforms with Available AWD Options for Both SUVs 

New for the 2025 INFINITI QX80 is a revamped powertrain led by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine. With 450 horsepower at the driver’s command and accompanied by a seamless nine-speed automatic transmission, the newest edition of the deluxe SUV family has enticing acceleration potential both throughout town and when out on the highway. Comparatively, the 2024 Escalade is equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine under the hood that delivers 420 horsepower. While dynamic, this still lacks the overall impact that the QX80 delivers. This engine is partnered with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both SUVs are fitted with standard RWD platforms, while interested Colorado customers can elevate the all-season maneuverability of their family cruiser by opting for an AWD setup.

Interior Features 

• Both Luxurious SUVs Come Equipped with Premium Cabins for Optimal Ride Quality 
• INFINITI QX80 Introduces Innovative Infrared Third Row System 

Customization while maintaining exceptional luxurious quality is what makes the 2025 INFINITI QX80 and the 2024 Cadillac Escalade so promising for discerning Colorado customers. Only high-end materials find their way into either cabin, with upper-level versions of both SUVs having superb leather and other coveted options equipped. The INFINITI offers an innovative infrared system available for the third row which will detect if the temperature is getting too warm and automatically start cooling that region of the SUV down. Both SUVs are immersive through their implementation of various infotainment amenities. Compatible devices can connect to the respective systems through mediums such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while SiriusXM® radio capability and integrated navigation functionality are also standard. Both vehicles are also equipped with sound systems that transcend what is available in many other luxury SUVs. In particular, the QX80 comes with two different sound system options from Klipsch®, which is a first for any brand. 

Safety Features 

• Plenty of Driver-Assistance Features Found in Both the QX80 and the Escalade 
• INFINITI QX80 Smart Rearview Mirror Makes Backing Easier

The 2025 INFINITI QX80 and the 2024 Cadillac Escalade are both remarkably safe to drive with the wide array of standard driver-assistance features that are found in the respective SUVs. As such, drivers can be confident that they have the tools and the knowledge while on the road to make better driving decisions. For example, both vehicles are equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking technology with added Pedestrian Detection functionality to help protect against the likelihood of an accident from the front of the SUVs. They also share Blind Spot Monitoring technology for similar protection behind the vehicle as well. To help keep the vehicles in their intended spots on the road and prevent the dangers of unintentional veering, both the INFINITI and the Cadillac feature a combination of Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist.   Both SUV models also include a version of Adaptive Intelligent Cruise Control to elevate each of your highway drives throughout Colorado and beyond.  The QX80 also features the innovative Smart Rearview Mirror.  This allows the driver to see clearly what is behind the vehicle even if there are passengers or cargo in the vehicle that would normally block the view.
