2027 Infiniti QX80
A performance variant was rumored for 2027, but the 600-hp model now will not arrive until 2028, so the QX80 carries over largely unchanged. Updates are limited to the ProPilot Assist 2.1 package becoming optional on the Luxe trim. MSRP runs $87,865 to $115,960, and the Lincoln Navigator beats it on second- and third-row space.

What changed for 2027
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says while a performance variant of the QX80 had been rumored for 2027, more recent reports say the 600-hp model won't make production until the 2028 model year. So the QX80 is likely to carry over to 2027 without any significant changes.
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) confirms updates for 2027 are limited to the availability of the ProPilot Assist 2.1 package as an option for the Luxe trim.
Pricing for 2027

Record summary
What to know first
Every QX80 trim shares the same 450-horsepower twin-turbo V6; second-row captain's chairs (7-passenger) are standard, with an 8-passenger bench-seat option offered only on Luxe.
Model-year note
For 2027 the Sensory trim is replaced by the Sport, taking the same position in the lineup with dark, bold exterior design elements, the same 4WD-only positioning and the same advanced chassis technology as the prior Sensory trim, so it is more than a badge change.
