A full-size SUV offers limitless possibilities for adventure. All that space requires intense power to keep your family moving. Precision engineering is the key to having all the strength you need for the adventures ahead of you, so which SUV has the mechanical ability you need?
The motor is the heart of your SUV. When you start the ignition, it should roar to life with all the intensity that you need to conquer the highway, hills, and any other obstacles that stand in your way. The Lincoln Navigator is built with supreme power in mind; it easily outperforms the QX80, pulling ahead to lead the pack.
Lincoln Navigator | INFINITI QX80 | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Style | Twin-Turbocharged 3.5L V6 | 5.6L V8 |
| Horsepower | 440 HP | 400 HP |
| Torque | 510 lb-ft | 413 lb-ft |
Once you start the ignition, you’re ready to use that engine power. Both SUVs come standard with rear-wheel drive and an available all-wheel drive system for improved traction. Having a dynamic system to harness that energy will leave you ready for whatever life on the road has in store for you.
The QX80 comes standard with a 7-speed automatic transmission, which is common among many SUVs. The Lincoln Navigator is made with more intense drives in mind, so it comes with the 10-speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission. This advanced system has more gears to use your horsepower better, giving you smoother acceleration and control on the highway.
Utility is one of the key parts of a great SUV. A spacious cabin makes everyone more comfortable, and you can store more of your belongings. When you have your entire family and all their luggage to bring along with you, size matters.
Full-sized SUVs provide more potential for your road trips. Both models can seat up to eight people in three rows, allowing everyone to have their own space to enjoy. If you anticipate a longer trip, your riders will appreciate extra space to stretch out.
The Lincoln Navigator stretches further to give everyone more room. It features more space in every direction, making for a more comfortable ride than the QX80. Passengers in the rear rows will be especially grateful for the extra space.
Lincoln Navigator | INFINITI QX80 | |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom (1st/2nd/3rd Row) | 41.8/40/37.3 in. | 39.9/40/36.8 in. |
| Legroom (1st/2nd/3rd Row) | 43.9/42.3/40.9 in. | 39.6/41/28.8 in. |

| Hip Room (1st/2nd/3rd Row) | 61.9/61.6/51.4 in. | 59.2/58.4/48.8 in. |
A larger SUV means you can easily bring home bigger purchases like furniture and appliances. Folding down the rear seats will give you ample space to store more gear and equipment. When you need the most space possible, the Lincoln Navigator has you covered. Its ample passenger volume converts into more cargo space than the QX80 can offer.
Lincoln Navigator | INFINITI QX80 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo Room Behind 1st Row | 103.3 cubic feet | 95.1 cubic feet |
| Cargo Room Behind 2nd Row | 63.6 cubic feet | 49.6 cubic feet |
| Cargo Room Behind 3rd Row | 20.9 cubic feet | 16.6 cubic feet |
Owning a luxury vehicle means having the latest innovations at your command. Cutting-edge amenities and technologies make each drive more enjoyable, and you’ll be eager to start a new adventure behind the wheel when you have opulent additions.
Your road trip playlist makes time behind the wheel even better. A luxury SUV should make your music sound better than ever with stunning surround sound, which calls for a premium system by audio experts. If you want your SUV to be your convert venue, the Lincoln Navigator has you covered.
The available Revel® Ultima 3D audio system fills the Lincoln Navigator cabin with 28 strategically placed speakers for supreme sound. The QX80 has its own available system, though it only has 17 speakers. Drivers searching for incredible audio fidelity will find it with the Lincoln Navigator.
The driver’s seat should be an oasis that you look forward to. Superior design will keep you more comfortable during long drives and reduce fatigue, helping you stay focused. That’s why an adaptable seat is of the utmost importance.
Only the Lincoln Navigator offers the available Active Motion® massaging front seats to help you stay relaxed. You can also opt for the available Perfect Position seats, which provide 30-way power adjustment to help you find your ideal spot. The QX80 simply cannot match them.
The opulent style and regal design make the Lincoln Navigator a smart choice for your next luxury SUV. It will make every drive in Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland, VA, a remarkable part of your day.
