2019 Infiniti QX80

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 QX80.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S7)

The 2019 Infiniti QX80 is an SUV fitted with an automatic (S7) transmission, EPA fuel-economy ratings of 14/20/16 mpg, and an engine oil capacity of 6.9 quarts of 0W-20. Reliability data for the 2019 model show 19 owner complaints, with the Electrical System as the top complaint area and one recall on record. In the broader 2014–2026 complaint history, the model line peaked at 20 complaints in 2014 and hit its low at one in 2022, leaving the 2019 QX80 near the top of the range. That positioning makes it a year researchers should evaluate alongside the 2014 high-water mark rather than treat as a typical low-complaint example.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Over the generation (2014‑2026), complaints generally declined from a high of 20 in 2014 to lows of 1‑2 in 20222024, while recalls stayed mostly between 1 and 3 per year. The 2019 model year recorded 19 complaints and 2 recalls, which is markedly higher than the 8 complaints in 2018 and the 6 complaints in 2020 that flank it. Compared with the earlier years 2014‑2017 (14‑20 complaints, 1‑4 recalls), 2019’s complaint count sits within that earlier range, while its recall count matches the modest level seen across most years. The data do not specify any root cause for the 2019 complaint increase, only noting the top areas as Electrical System (6), Unknown/Other (4), Service Brakes (2), and Fuel/Propulsion System (1). Given the complaint spike relative to its immediate neighbors and the lack of explanatory detail, a cautious buyer may view 2019 as a less attractive option than the surrounding low‑complaint years unless other factors such as price or condition outweigh this signal.
