Overview of NHTSA Ratings

Overview of NHTSA Ratings

NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program assigns vehicles a star rating (1 to 5) based on frontal, side, and rollover crash tests, with five stars representing the highest level of occupant protection. Although the public-facing NHTSA page for the QX80 outlines the testing methodology, the QX80’s specific star breakdown is released after the complete evaluation cycle. 

What to Expect for the QX80

INFINITI’s safety publications indicate that the 2025 QX80 is engineered to excel in NHTSA’s crash scenarios. It combines structural reinforcement and energy-absorbing design to protect front and rear occupants. 

How Does a Vehicle Earn TOP SAFETY PICK+ Status?

To earn IIHS’s TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must achieve Good (G) ratings in the small overlap front, updated moderate overlap front, and updated side tests, as well as Acceptable (A) or Good headlights and effective pedestrian crash prevention systems. The 2025 INFINITI QX80 not only met but exceeded these benchmarks, securing Good ratings across all crash tests and qualifying headlights, a testament to its comprehensive occupant protection. 

Breakdown of Crash Test Results 

  • Small Overlap Front (Driver & Passenger):  Both driver-side and passenger-side small overlap front tests yielded Good ratings, with minimal dummy injury measures and robust safety cage performance. 

  • Updated Moderate Overlap Front: In the 40 MPH moderate overlap test, the QX80’s structure demonstrated excellent intrusion control, earning Good ratings for both structure and restraint performance. 

  • Updated Side Impact: The side 2.0 test showed outstanding protection, with Good ratings for head, torso, and pelvis injury measures and effective side curtain airbags. 

Standard Driver-Assist Features

Beyond passive crash protection, the QX80 comes standard with a suite of advanced driver-assist systems, including Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Intervention®, and Lane Departure Prevention.
