TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Infiniti QX80 is an old-school SUV with lots of luxury but it should only appeal to those who truly need to tow.

The 2016 Lexus LX 570 remains one of the biggest, bulkiest luxury SUVs you can get—yet with the big Land Cruiser's world-proven toughness, it's no poseur.

TCC Likes

An upscale cabin
Tough off-roading ability
A genuine SUV

Brawny powertrain
Softer, warmer cabin materials
Real towing capability

TCC Dislikes

Finger-light steering
Very thirsty
Oversize front end a turnoff to some

Clunky third-row seating can't be removed
Dismal fuel economy
Clumsy handling
