Earlier this year, the 2020 INFINITI QX80 received the 2020 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Award in the luxury full-size SUV category. The Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Award honors new vehicles with the lowest projected ownership costs. The award was presented to INFINITI during the 2020 Chicago Auto Show.

Award Recognition

"We are honored to have been awarded the 2020 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Award for the QX80," said Jeff Pope, Group Vice President of INFINITI Americas. "While we know our full-size luxury sport utility offers the room and towing capacity our clients want, it's great to have such a reputable third party attest to the QX80's overall long-lasting quality and low ownership costs."

Award Methodology

In developing the data that drives the 5-Year Cost to Own projections, Kelley Blue Book's analysts calculated projected resale values, insurance and state fees, and estimated costs for fuel. Maintenance and repair fees were also taken into consideration to determine the vehicle's acquisition cost according to Kelley Blue Book's Fair Purchase Price. The award is designed to help consumers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lowest projected five-year total.
