The 2023 Infiniti QX80 ProACTIVE is best considered as a specific used luxury-SUV configuration, not as a substitute for the later redesigned QX80. The useful comparison is what ProACTIVE adds to LUXE, whether the seating arrangement works, and how the individual vehicle has been maintained.

Engine and transmission
The Canadian 2023 QX80 uses a 5.6-litre V8 producing 400 hp and 413 lb-ft, with four-wheel drive. Its automatic transmission has seven speeds. Infiniti Canada’s 2023 brochure; NRCan model-year powertrain record.
Interior and technology
Infiniti’s Canadian brochure lists semi-aniline quilted seating, 17-speaker Bose audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and USB-based Android Auto. Canadian model information identifies a 12.3-inch centre touchscreen. Canadian brochure; Canadian 2023 equipment guide.
ProACTIVE and seating choices
Canadian listings offered both LUXE and ProACTIVE in seven- and eight-passenger forms. ProACTIVE adds driver-assistance equipment including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance; the Canadian buying guide also identifies its 22-inch dark-finish wheels.

Verify the actual second-row arrangement before buying. Try the third-row access and luggage space with the required seats raised; passenger count is not a substitute for a family fit check.
Fuel economy
NRCan rates the 2023 QX80 4WD at 17.5 L/100 km city, 12.2 highway and 15.1 combined, with premium gasoline recorded. Actual consumption varies with conditions. NRCan historical data.
At 20,000 km per year, 15.1 L/100 km corresponds to 3,020 litres. Multiply by your assumed premium-fuel price to establish a planning figure. Allow for route, winter and loading differences, and include tires, maintenance and insurance instead of considering fuel alone.

Is ProACTIVE worth considering?
Choose ProACTIVE if its assistance features are useful and work correctly on the vehicle being considered. Compare like-for-like seating layouts and condition. Original pricing provides context, but it does not establish how much extra a used ProACTIVE should cost today.
