2018 Toyota Sequioa vs. 2018 Infiniti QX80

Are you looking to invest your hard earned money to buy a car? Are you caught in a dilemma to choose between the 2018 Toyota Sequioa and the 2018 Infiniti QX80? A brief comparison of both these models will clear all your confusion.

Design & Style

You may well get attracted to the stylish exterior of both the models, but the actual thing is hidden inside. The 2018 Infiniti QX80 comes with three rows of seating, with the 3^rd one being quite cramped. The other two rows are roomy and comfortable. The interior is quite appreciable with top quality materials on offer. You may also spot some low-quality materials that do not add positively to the cabin design.

On the other hand, the 2018 Toyota Sequioa is a 7-seater vehicle with plenty of space across all the rows of seating. The front seats are quite supportive, while the other two rows recline, making it convenient for the passengers onboard. Apart from a classy cabin design, there's enough cargo space for a dozen pieces of carry on luggage.

Technology & Safety

Speaking of the technology, the 2018 Infiniti QX80 comes standard with an 8-inch touch screen, a USB port, Bluetooth, 13-speaker Bose audio system, navigation and automatic climate control. The infotainment system is not something that will leave you in awe since it is outdated, unlike other rivals. You won't find smartphone integration options like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 2018 Toyota Sequioa is a much better choice in this respect. It comes standard with Entune infotainment system,  featuring 6.1-inch touch screen, Siri Eyes Free and navigation. Unlike QX80, you also have smartphone integration in the base model itself. Some of the standard safety features include blind spot monitoring, lane change assist, parking sensors and a rearview camera.

Performance

In terms of performance, both the models give a tough competition to each other.  The 2018 Toyota Sequoia is far superior with its V8 5.7-litre engine that can produce an output of 381HP and 401 lb-ft of torque. With almost the same engine specifications, the Infiniti QX80 cannot deliver smooth performance as you expect from a luxury SUV. The gas mileage is also not quite up to the mark.

The Bottom Line

Taking some of the key features and specifications into consideration, we can say that the 2018 Toyota Sequoia has an edge in terms of design and technology. Even though the Infiniti QX80 has a lot of great features as well, Toyota ensures you get a complete luxury package for the price you pay. There's no doubt why the Toyota Sequioa should be your next car.
