Refined Presence and Confident Strength in the Infiniti QX80 Autograph

20 Dec 2025
  • What do you notice the second you sit in the driver seat?
  • Does the back seat feel like a real VIP zone?
  • Does it drive like a true flagship or just a big SUV?
  • What does starting from 485k say about the QX80 Autograph in the Gulf?

I met the Infiniti QX80 Autograph under bright city lights, and it instantly felt like a flagship that owns the space around it. The proportions look serious, and the details feel deliberate, not loud. Even before getting inside, I could tell this trim is meant to be the most special version, with Autograph touches like a dual tone roof on selected color combinations and a design approach that focuses on presence and luxury from the first glance.

Autograph Cabin Mood

The moment I settled in, the cabin gave me that warm premium feeling that makes you want to take the long way home. The Autograph specification highlights Burgundy Semi Aniline dot quilted leather and a unique quilting pattern across the seating, so the interior does not just look upscale, it looks crafted. It feels like the SUV is trying to calm you down, even if the road outside is busy.

Second Row Luxury Control

When I stepped into the second row, the Autograph identity became even clearer. The official Autograph Captain Chairs spec calls out front and second row massage seats, plus a second row console with touch screen control, which makes passengers feel like they have their own lounge controls instead of simply riding along. In some Autograph configurations, Infiniti also lists the Infiniti Light Path welcome lighting, which adds an extra premium moment when you approach the vehicle at night.

Turbo Power On The Move

Once I started rolling, the QX80 felt confident in a way that matches its size. Infiniti lists a 3.5L V6 twin turbo producing 450 hp, and regional market pages also list 700 Nm, so merges and overtakes feel effortless rather than forced. The drive feels strong but smooth, and the 9 speed automatic transmission listed in regional specs helps it stay polished in traffic while still delivering that satisfying push when you open the throttle.

Pricing And Final Feel

After the drive, it felt clear who this SUV is for. It is built for buyers who want presence, family luxury, and a second row that feels first class. For a reference point in the region, an official UAE distributor page lists QX80 Autograph Captain Chairs starting from AED 485,000 with VAT included, which fits its flagship positioning across Gulf markets. If you want a luxury SUV that feels special every time you approach it at night and every time your passengers settle in, the Autograph makes a strong case.
