[DeEmma]

From the data and chassis perspective, the QX80 is essentially a luxury version of the Patrol. The QX80 may have more comprehensive configurations compared to the Patrol. The grilles are also different: the Patrol features a mesh design, while the Infiniti has horizontal bars. The headlights differ as well, with the Patrol having a more square shape and the QX80 featuring a longer, sleeker style. The QX80 also boasts stronger power than the Patrol. Below are the specific differences: 1. The Patrol and the Infiniti QX80 are products of the same platform; they are siblings, with the Patrol bearing the parent company's brand and the QX80 carrying the premium brand. 2. Both the QX80 and the Patrol use the same chassis, featuring a body-on-frame design, which provides excellent resistance to harsh off-road conditions, minimizing damage to the vehicle body. Both are equipped with the HBMC (Hydraulic Body Motion Control) system, but the Patrol offers four off-road modes—sand, road, rock, and snow—on top of the QX80's intelligent automatic four-wheel drive. It also includes hill descent control and a mechanical limited-slip differential lock, significantly enhancing off-road capability. 3. In terms of the powertrain, the QX80 uses a newer-generation VK56 engine, delivering 441 horsepower, which is notably higher than the Patrol's 398 horsepower. The QX80 is an all-terrain, large-sized SUV, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.3 seconds.
