The INFINITI QX80 has received the 2019 Ideal Vehicle Award in the Luxury SUV segment from AutoPacific, the automotive research and consulting firm. The Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA) recognize vehicles that exceed owners’ expectations, based on responses from more than 50,000 owners of new vehicles across all major manufacturers.
“Winning the Ideal Vehicle Award shows that our planners, designers and engineers understand what buyers want and have provided a product closely targeted to those needs and desires,” said Jeff Pope, Group Vice President of INFINITI Americas. “It is no surprise that the QX80, with its comfortable interior and luxury features throughout, was ranked so highly by its owners.”
The 2019 IVAs are based on scores developed using results from AutoPacific’s National New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey, where respondents rate 14 vehicle attributes concerning their desire for change. The INFINITI QX80 scored 1093 out of a possible 1400, beating out competitor SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator, Lexus LX and GX, and Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV.
