The chief competition for the QX80 lies in the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and Lincoln Navigator, while the Land Rover Range Rover and Cadillac Escalade are thousands more—and they don't include the sublime Infiniti ownership experience.
The Benz GL is one of favorite among the full-size luxo-utes thanks to its available diesel engine.
The Navigator and the and the Ford Expedition both offer a strong turbocharged V-6, but the Lincoln comes with luxury more in line with the Infiniti.
The Range Rover is a worthy rival, offering responsive road manners without sacrificing a bit of luxury and comfort.
Meanwhile, the Cadillac Escalade offers burly V-8 engines and a refined look and feel.
Another rival is the Lexus LX 570.
It's a near-clone of the very large Toyota Land Cruiser, but it brings with it luxury and rugged capabilities akin to the QX80.
