2021 INFINITI QX80: 2021 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Award
A new INFINITI QX80 is an investment in yourself — it delivers long-lasting curb appeal for standing out, exhilarating performance, and luxurious quality that comforts you at the end of the day. It’s no surprise, then, that the latest QX80 has won awards for delivering long-term value from outlets like Kelley Blue Book and We Predict.
The 2021 INFINITI QX80 isn’t just imposing in terms of stature and performance. It also casts a long shadow when it comes to outperforming the competition on the awards podium. This year, the experts at Kelley Blue Book named the new QX80 its choice for the 2021 KBB 5-Year Cost to Own Award in the Full-Size Luxury SUV category. Making this all the more impressive is the fact that this now marks five straight years in the top spot.
Every year, KelleyBlueBook.com compares new vehicles and brands based on projected ownership costs. Beyond sticker price, this includes expected depreciation, fuel costs, maintenance and repairs, and taxes and fees. The vehicle with the lowest projected cost is declared the victor.
Once again, the INFINITI QX80 reigns supreme as Best Full-Size Luxury SUV. And it’s not even a particularly close contest — according to KBB, the QX80 will cost as much as $10,914 less than the segment average over five years.
KBB also had plenty nice to say about the award-winning QX80. Among the praises heaped upon the SUV is a shout-out for the new Sensory trim, which offers the most premium quality of the lineup.
But as KBB’s experts note: “Thanks to its desirability on the resale market, the INFINITI QX80 performs best among full-size luxury SUVs, no matter the trim level.” If you want to see what this beast can do with your own eyes, you need only head on down to INFINITI of Memphis.
We Predict Deepview True Cost Awards 2021
2021 marked the inaugural year for the Deepview True Cost Awards, presented by the innovative machine learning and predictive tech firm We Predict. It’s clear to see how well We Predict’s methodologies work given that the 2021 INFINITI QX80 was named the first-ever winner in the Large Premium SUV category.
The Deepview True Cost Report Awards rank vehicles based on their projected ownership costs. These include factors like regular maintenance, unexpected repairs, software updates, and warranties and recalls. We Predict’s experts crunched the numbers and found that no large luxury SUV offers better value than the QX80.
The INFINITI QX80 is quite the powerhouse thanks to its standard 5.6-liter V8 engine, which puts down 400 horsepower and delivers up to 8,500 pounds of max towing.* Thanks to available All-Mode 4WD®, the QX80 is a confident performer year-round — even in rough Memphis winters. These reasons and so many more are what make the QX80 the cream of the crop when it comes to quality.
