2026 INFINITI QX80 Sport Review: The Minivan Alternative Without the Compromise - Yanko Design
"When your family outgrows the crossover but you refuse to surrender to sliding doors, INFINITI offers an answer: 450 horsepower, premium leather, and space for eight. This is luxury that works. Designer: INFINITI I spent a week with the 2026 INFINITI QX80 Sport AWD. Here's why families are choosing this over minivans, and why that choice makes more sense than you might think."
"The seats don't fit three car seats across. The cargo area disappears when that third row is up. Everyone's knees touch everyone else's seats. The obvious solution is a minivan. More space, better access, clever storage solutions. But here's what the practicality argument misses: you're going to spend significant time in this vehicle. Your family will log thousands of hours here. The question isn't just "what fits." It's "what makes those hours feel good.""
The 2026 INFINITI QX80 Sport pairs 450 horsepower and premium leather with three-row seating for up to eight passengers. The Sport trim with available captain's chairs reduces capacity to seven while providing heated, ventilated, power-adjustable individual seats and a center console with storage and climate controls. The vehicle emphasizes long-duration comfort, recognizing families spend thousands of hours inside and need more than mere capacity. The third row is adult-capable; a 6'2" occupant can sit comfortably for a 30-minute drive with adequate headroom and workable legroom when the second row is not fully rearward. The design aims to offer luxury without surrendering practicality.
