INFINITI QX80 vs Range Rover | Side-by-Side Comparison
The INFINITI QX80 and Range Rover occupy different luxury SUV tiers. The QX80 starts at $83,750 with 450 hp. The Range Rover starts at $115,450 (P400 SE) and goes much higher. Both deliver three-row seating and premium interiors, but Range Rover emphasizes off-road capability and British heritage. For buyers in Boerne and the Hill Country seeking value and local service, the choice becomes clear.
Power & Performance
The QX80’s 3.5L twin-turbo V6 delivers 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Range Rover P400 SE (base model) uses a 3.0L mild-hybrid I6 producing 395 hp and 369 lb-ft. The QX80 outpowers the entry Range Rover by 55 hp.
Move to the Range Rover P615 (top tier), and you get 607 hp from a twin-turbo V8. But that model starts at $263,050 – nearly $180,000 more than the QX80. For comparable pricing, the INFINITI delivers more power than the Range Rover’s base offering.
Pricing & Value
The QX80 starts at $83,750. The Range Rover P400 SE starts at $115,450 – a $31,700 gap. For that extra money, you’re paying for British prestige, advanced terrain management systems, and a longer wheelbase option. Many buyers value those attributes. Others recognize that the QX80 delivers comparable luxury at significantly less cost.
Terrain & Off-Road Capability
Range Rover’s Terrain Response system and Intelligent Driveline manage off-road driving with sophistication. The QX80 uses standard AWD with multi-mode drive control – effective but less specialized. If serious off-roading is central to your purchase, Range Rover wins. For luxury suburban and highway driving with occasional ranch roads, the QX80’s capability is sufficient.
Seating & Interior
Both seat 7 passengers across three rows. The Range Rover offers slightly more interior room and available quad-zone climate control. The QX80 matches Range Rover’s premium leather and wood trim quality. The Range Rover’s interior feels more spacious; the QX80’s feels more intimate and Japanese-refined. Neither is objectively better – preference matters.
Technology & Infotainment
Range Rover’s Touch Pro Duo dual-display system is cutting-edge, with 5G connectivity and wireless smartphone integration. INFINITI’s InTouch system is more straightforward. If tech sophistication is primary, Range Rover leads. If you prefer simplicity and reliability, the QX80 delivers uncomplicated functionality.
Reliability & Service
Range Rover has improved reliability significantly in recent years. INFINITI maintains stronger reliability ratings historically. Both are well-engineered. The critical difference: INFINITI of Boerne is a JD Power 2026 Dealer of Excellence – the only INFINITI dealer in Texas with this recognition. We offer 70+ loaner vehicles, valet service within 100 miles, and complimentary washing. A Range Rover dealer in Austin or San Antonio won’t match that commitment to your ownership experience.
