Interior - 2023 INFINITI QX80

The 2023 Cadillac Escalade is available in either an eight- or seven-passenger configuration. One of the main differences is that the 2023 INFINITI QX80 available at INFINITI of Montgomery comes standard with the seven-passenger configuration. This is what drivers want at this price level and the far more popular option with the Cadillac. Headroom and legroom in all three rows and the dedicated and overall cargo space is comparable between the two models and likely won’t be a deciding factor. As you expect, the QX80 comes standard with premium leather upholstery, but this isn’t the case with the Escalade. Cadillac opts for synthetic leather seating and requires you to move beyond the base trim to get that upgrade. The models are otherwise very similar when it comes to amenities, such as a large center touch screen, a premium audio system and heated and power-adjustable front seats.

When comparing the 2023 INFINITI QX80 vs 2023 Cadillac Escalade, it’s important to note that Cadillac offers several powertrains. For the purposes of this comparison, we’ll be ignoring the diesel engine and the performance engine. Neither of those models sell many units. Both automakers take a similar approach in that rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is offered as an option with all trims. INFINITI opts for a shiftable seven-speed automatic transmission. Cadillac opts for a shiftable 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine under the hood of the INFINITI is a 5.6-liter V8 that makes 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. The Escalade has a 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 hp and 460 lb.-ft. Trailering equipment is optional with both makes, but the INFINITI is the better option here as it can tow up to 8,500 pounds whereas the Cadillac tops off at 7,700 pounds.
