The 2015 Infiniti QX80 joined the 2015 Q70 on stage for its unveiling at the 2014 New York Auto Show.

Under the massive hood lies a 5.6-liter V8 delivering 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft to all four corners through a seven-speed automatic, while safety tech such as automatic-dipping headlights and Predictive Front Collision Warning System aim to deliver all inside safely to the office.

For those wanting something more exclusive, the QX80 Limited ups the game with 22-inch wheels and ash wood trim to the self-described “man cave,” in addition to the standard entertainment system, high-grade leather and adjustable seating.

No word on how many Limiteds will be built, let alone for how much one will sell, but for the rest of us, the base price may be higher than the $63,695 for the outgoing model when the new SUVs arrive in U.S. showrooms this fall.

The bump in the hood aids in echolocation.

  LOL! Especially since I was just looking at pics of belugas the kids brought back from Seaworld. Definitely a cetacean ride.

I like the front end better when it had the 1949 Nash Airflyte grille.

SCE to AUX If sedans were getting dealer markups, then we would know what is in demand. But they aren't, so the answer is no.Besides, there is more margin in crossovers, so why build sedans nobody wants? Today, sedans are merely the gateway drug to SUVs.
Tassos No, we don't need many more sedans. We also sure as hell do not need any more SUVs. What we need are Grand Touring, Flagship Coupes, like the glorious 560 SEC and 500 and 600 SEC of the 80s and 90s and their successors, the CL Class, esp the 2007-2013 series.
SilverHawk They are such an obvious automotive design that they should continue in some form for years to come. However, even in the classic market, sedans have not equaled 2dr models in collectability, and in today's market, 2dr models are practically extinct. I hope the younger generations, in their need to be different from previous generations, will revive the sedan & wagon in their own way.
Ajla Automakers will do what they are going to do but I'm personally not buying a crossover unless my ligaments have given up.
Tele Vision Sedans are awesome. Well, mine is.
