英菲尼迪近日在迪拜发布了2018款QX80。新车最明显变化是格栅，它的面积更大，前大灯为了和格栅相互呼应也被抬起，整个前脸看起来相比现款更加的霸气十足。底部前脸开口更宽，延续了老款车大就是好的思路。新车外观变化很细微，整体布局使其更像一辆硕大无比的SUV而非只是拥有三排座椅的轿车。其他细微的改变包括轮拱部分新的散热孔以及新的后脸和尾门设计，两侧是升级后的尾灯组。新车的很多元素取自英菲尼迪年初发布的Monograph概念车，幸运的是，概念车丑陋的排气尾管没有移植到量产车上。车厢内仍采用熟悉的布局，无论是对于驾驶员还是乘客都很友好。不过，新车结构没有变化，仍将采用非承载车身并搭载V8引擎，搭配七速自动变速器和后轮驱动。2018款QX80将于年底上市。
2018 Infiniti QX80 SUV Debuts Bigger, Bolder Look In Dubai
2010 is when we were first introduced to the second iteration of Infiniti’s full-size sport-utility vehicle. Back then it was known as the QX56, but this latest refresh for 2018 still shares much with that machine, right down to the 5.6-liter, 400-horsepower V8. In the fast-paced world of SUV evolution, eight years without significant changes may as well be a lifetime, but we’ll give the sort-of new QX80 some credit. The styling refresh does help this larger-than-life luxury hauler look much more comfortable in its own skin.
The obvious change is the grille, which expands to cover considerably more real estate on the front end. The headlamps are also lifted, bringing them more in line with the top of the grille as opposed to the bottom on the outgoing model. A new lower fascia with broader openings continues the bigger-is-better theme, and while all the changes on their own are rather subtle, they combine to help the QX80 actually look like a big SUV instead of a bulky three-row Frankenstein with a sedan nose grafted on the front.
Other subtle design changes can be found with new vents on the fenders as well as new skin for the rear fascia and gate, flanked by updated rear taillights. Much of these updates were previewed on the Monograph Concept earlier this year, though the bonkers rear exhaust outlets on the concept thankfully didn’t make the transition to production.
Inside, changes are far less obvious. The same familiar layout will greet driver and passengers, though new stitching patterns for the seats and door freshen things a bit. The same holds true for all the mechanicals, with everything carrying over unchanged.That means a body-on-frame construction with the aforementioned V8, powering either the rear wheels or all four through a seven-speed automatic.
Infiniti says the refreshed 2018 QX80 is in production now and will go on sale by the end of the year.
