2026 Infiniti QX80
large SUV / 4-door SUV
Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
Tested vehicle: 2025 Infiniti QX80 Luxe 4-door 4wd
Rating applies to 2025-26 models
The Infiniti QX80 and Nissan Armada were redesigned for the 2025 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2025 QX80 conducted by Nissan.
