INFINITI QX80 Vs. Volvo XC90: Specs, Interior & More

INFINITI QX80 Specs

The 2024 INFINITI QX80 boasts a 5.6-liter V-8 engine. This powerful piece of machinery offers incredible power to drivers, making it a compelling aspect of this luxury SUV. The vehicle delivers 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, allowing you to roar down the road in style. V-8 engines are becoming less and less common, which is a travesty – little compares to the raw muscle of a V-8.

Our new INFINITI QX80 for sale comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but INFINITI All-Mode four-wheel drive is an available feature for each of its three impressive trims. Either way, you'll get access to Snow and Tow driving modes. When properly equipped, the car can tow 8,500 pounds, a capacity that blows the Volvo XC90 out of the water.

Volvo XC90 Specs

The 2024 Volvo XC90 is available with two powertrains, both of which have weaker specs than the INFINITI QX80. The entry-level B5 AWD configuration mates a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to a 48-volt battery-and-motor system to produce 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The B6 AWD models add a supercharger to this setup, raising the horsepower to 295 and the torque to 310 pound-feet.

The Volvo XC90 specs include all-wheel drive and a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The 3,500-pound difference in maximum towing capacity between these two vehicles is significant, to say nothing of the horsepower advantage enjoyed by the INFINITI QX80. This round of our INFINITI QX80 vs. Volvo XC90 matchup goes to the former vehicle.
