In the full-size luxury SUV category, the duel between the 2026 Infiniti QX80 and the BMW X7 particularly captures the attention of drivers from Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Boucherville, Beloeil, and the entire South Shore of Montreal. This demanding segment tolerates no compromises: power, comfort, advanced technology, safety, and versatility must coexist harmoniously.
For buyers looking for a luxury SUV in the Montérégie region, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 stands out for its superior balance of performance, capability, and refinement. Available at your Infiniti dealer on the South Shore, it represents a particularly solid proposition against the BMW X7.
Motorists can discover all technical specifications and available versions directly on the 2026 Infiniti QX80 page, where options, trims, and standard equipment are detailed.
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine developing 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. These figures place it at the top of its segment in terms of standard power. For South Shore drivers who regularly travel on Highway 20, the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine Bridge-Tunnel, or the routes toward Quebec City, this powertrain offers remarkable assurance.
The BMW X7 xDrive40i, equipped with an inline-six engine developing approximately 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, offers a refined drive, but is less imposing in terms of raw capability.
In terms of towing, the 2026 Infiniti QX80 displays a maximum capacity of up to 8,500 lbs. For residents of Saint-Basile-le-Grand owning a boat or a travel trailer, this capacity represents a decisive advantage. The BMW X7 offers approximately 7,500 lbs depending on the configuration.

The Quebec climate imposes specific requirements. The 2026 Infiniti QX80 is equipped as standard with an electronic air suspension, allowing for increased ground clearance or lowering the vehicle to improve aerodynamics.
Its All-Mode Intelligent 4WD system optimizes power distribution according to road conditions. On snow, ice, or wet pavement, this technology enhances stability and safety.
The BMW X7 also offers the xDrive system and a high-performance adaptive suspension. However, the combination of power, towing capacity, and standard suspension of the QX80 makes it a vehicle particularly well-suited to the realities of the South Shore of Montreal.

The 24-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system offers exceptional sound quality. For daily commutes to Montreal or long family trips, this sonic immersion contributes to a high-end experience.
The BMW X7 offers its iDrive system with a curved display. While elegant, it remains more oriented toward a sophisticated technological interface, whereas the QX80 prioritizes intuitive ergonomics.
The 2026 Infiniti QX80 can accommodate up to eight passengers. Its three spacious rows offer remarkable comfort, notably thanks to heated, ventilated, and massaging seats in the first and second rows.
For families in the Montérégie region, this increased capacity facilitates daily travel and weekend getaways. The BMW X7 generally offers seven seats, with an approach more oriented toward sporty refinement.
The interior design of the QX80 is inspired by the Japanese concept of hospitality, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. High-end finishes and generous space contribute to a superior experience in the luxury SUV category on the South Shore.
