The new SPORT grade joins the QX80 line-up, delivering bold style and premium features
Al Masaood Automobiles, the authorised distributor of INFINITI in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and the Al Dhafra Region, has announced the arrival of the first-ever INFINITI QX80 SPORT grade, a bold and dynamic addition to its luxury SUV line-up. Engineered for drivers who demand decisive capability and a more performance-inspired look, the SPORT grade infuses the QX80’s commanding presence with darker, sleeker, styling while retaining the refinement, comfort, and advanced technology that have made it a favourite among UAE drivers.
The QX80 SPORT distinguishes itself with a redesigned front grille and bumper, unique 22-inch wheels, and darkened accents across the exterior, including the trim, mirror caps, roof rails, and emblems. Inside, a distinctive Dusk Blue colour scheme sets the tone, enhanced by dark matte chrome accents, open-pore wood trim, and diamond-pattern seat perforations in black and blue. The result is a refined yet assertive cabin that combines the QX80’s renowned craftsmanship with a more purposeful, driver-focused aesthetic.
Beyond its striking design, the QX80 SPORT offers the full INFINITI luxury SUV experience. At its heart is the powerful VR35DDTT 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine, producing 450 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. The engine incorporates Mar-M super-alloy turbine wheels for high-temperature durability and GT-R-inspired scavenging oil pumps to maintain oil pressure under extreme conditions.
The QX80 SPORT also offers an advanced suite of driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Intervention®, and Lane Departure Prevention. These are complemented by the world-first Ultra-Wide View, Invisible Hood View, and a 3D Around View® Monitor for effortless manoeuvring.
Inside, passengers enjoy first-class comfort across all three rows, with available ventilated and massaging seats, segment-first Biometric Cooling for second-row passengers, and a premium Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System delivering an immersive 24-speaker sound experience.
Bachir Gemayel, Sales and Marketing Director, Al Masaood Automobiles, said: “The QX80 SPORT was introduced to meet the growing demand for a luxury SUV that not only delivers on performance and technology, but also reflects our customers’ desire for individuality and distinctive style. The SPORT grade combines the QX80’s proven comfort and capability with a more dynamic personality, ensuring it remains a top choice for luxury SUV buyers in the market.”
The INFINITI QX80 SPORT is now available at Al Masaood Automobiles INFINITI showrooms in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and the Al Dhafra Region, alongside the current QX80 line-up, including 2025 models. Customers can book a test drive or explore more details at www.infiniti-abudhabi.com.
