How does a 5.6L V8 engine making 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque sound? Power goes through a seven-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel-drive is standard. There is also an optional four-wheel drive system (standard on Limited) with a low-range gearing feature.

On the interior of the base 2017 QX80, you'll find great standard features like leather upholstery, automatic tri-zone climate control, a heated eight-way power driver seat, second-row captain's chairs, a power-folding 60/40-split third-row seat, and a power tilt-and-telescoping and heated steering wheel.
