Seats are the thing in Infiniti's New Year's Day ad for the QX80

(December 28, 2017) NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In the first TV spot for the new 2018 QX80, the brand's flagship full-size SUV, Infiniti takes the position that luxury is inclusive and sophistication is something to be shared. Airing for the first time on Jan. 1, the national spot, titled "Thrones," opens with a series of images of the most luxurious seats from around the world. Taking inspiration from various regions and historical eras, the thrones featured were custom made.

The spot then cuts to a scene of friends inside the new InfinitiQX80. Each is enjoying the spacious and comfortable seating and specially crafted luxury features, including quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, wood trim accents, the updated InfinitiInTouch infotainment system, and an advanced rear entertainment system.

"We designed the 2018 QX80 with the mindset that luxury is better when shared, offering luxurious amenities that every passenger can enjoy," said Phil O'Connor, director, Marketing Communications and Media. "The beginning of the commercial says it best: 'For centuries, the best seats were built for one.' Today, we aim to deliver the ultimate expression of inclusive luxury where no passenger takes a back seat."



In addition to the television spot, fans and followers can enjoy a variety of shorter films on Infiniti's social media channels.

The 2018 QX80, on sale nationwide, stands apart with a refined and spacious cabin that features high quality materials, a hand-crafted finish and advanced driver-assist technologies – all combining to promote a sense of inclusive, modern luxury and set new standards for upscale sophistication. With a taut, yet comfort-oriented suspension, and ample performance from its 5.6-liter V8 engine, the new QX80 gives drivers an assured feeling of control and confidence at the wheel.
