All-New 2025 INFINITI QX80 to Feature Klipsch Audio System

Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America and INFINITI announced the integration of a segment-exclusive Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System on the all-new 2025 QX80.

A QX Monograph concept vehicle, previewing the exterior of the all-new 2025 QX80, was featured at Panasonic’s booth at CES 2024 last week. The all-new model is set to debut later this spring.

The Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System delivers accurate, authentic, audiophile-quality performance throughout the cabin, driven by 24 specifically designed speakers including titanium tweeters, a high-performance 8-inch TriPower subwoofer, HIGHLINE roof-mounted speakers and Panasonic’s proprietary DJX 3D surround sound processing, according to a press release announcing the system integration.

“The all-new QX80 drives us toward our New Dawn and signals a bold direction for INFINITI,” said Craig Keeys, group vice president, INFINITI Americas. “The Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System is the first of many new features to be revealed for our flagship SUV, in which we will elevate the ownership experience—underscoring INFINITI’s commitment to design, quality and performance.”

Features for the segment-exclusive Klipsch Reference Premiere Audio System include:

• 1-inch titanium tweeters that provide extended high-frequency response, enhanced clarity and transparency
• Headrest speakers for the driver and front passenger that enable a variety of new audio features
• High-power, high-excursion, 6-by-9-inch mid-bass drivers located in the front doors that deliver high-end dynamics
• High-performance, full-range HIGHLINE speakers mounted in the headliner that work together with Panasonic’s proprietary DJX 3D Surround algorithm to create an immersive sound experience throughout the cabin
• An 8-inch TriPower subwoofer with high excursion design that provides ultra-low-frequency extension
• A 24-channel amplifier with 1GHz digital signal processor maximizing both power and control
• Unique user interface elements that express the new direction for INFINITI and convey the audiophile-level performance and immersive attributes of the system

“Klipsch is an aspirational brand in the consumer market and this new project for the all-new INFINITI QX80 is a natural fit,” said Paul Jacobs, president and CEO, Klipsch Premium Audio Group. “Collaborating with Panasonic Automotive and INFINITI has brought out the best of our combined capabilities to create a new level of audio performance in the luxury vehicle segment.”
