I think they did a great job with this truck. However, Infiniti's luxury image has eroded considerably from the 2010s, and I think it's priced out of where it should be. Companies in this sort of position should be focusing on attainable luxury value. Basically exactly what they pulled off with the first G35 in the 2000s. That car was a huge success in the segment and drove their image and eventually sales of their upmarket cars.
Infiniti has lost a lot of ground over the past 10 years or so I agree, but if they priced this new QX80 lower then they would be leaving money on the table. The people who buy these enormous luxury SUVs are accustomed to spending in the six figure range and don’t mind spending what Infiniti, Cadillac, Lincoln, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and even what Jeep (Grand Wagoneer) are commanding for their largest SUVs. Infiniti just got out of the premium sports sedan segment with the discontinued Q50. If Hyundai made a big jumbo sized SUV like the Infiniti QX80 they might do okay with a lower priced model. Infiniti needs to get their profits where they can now. This new QX80 is still much less money than a comparably equipped Lincoln Navigator or Cadillac Escalade. I won’t even get into the price differences with the German SUVs.
@@gedaman it doesnt even have dual injection- opposed to literally every other turbo v6 on the market. people who buy these chincy manufacturers have no idea what they're getting

Problem is when I come up behind them doing 80 in the left lane while the oblivious drivers hog the lane doing 60, I cant see them until the last second because of the headlights are not on, neither are the tail lights. DRLs are not headlights people .!!
I’ve seen that too often too. Thank goodness new vehicles have rear reflectors on the back otherwise I wouldn’t even see them. I think everyone should drive with automatic headlights turned on if they have them equipped.
This is mostly an issue with people driving rentals they are not familiar with. They're not used to auto headlights so when they don't turn off with the car they go and flip the switch to off, but then mistake the DRLs as the headlights when they go to turn them on.

Calling the engine "GT-R" derived is a bit misleading.

And it's not just an appearance package; it gets more power and torque, a lower suspension, and sports exhaust! And it sells pretty well over there, so I am expecting Nissan to make one of the new models.
But that's what selling more right now so this makes more financial sense for them to make money from this SUV. It is a business after all. They're going to make whatever's selling better
@@sly9263its true that inflation has made everything more expensive. Imo, this car is beautiful and luxurious, it is only expensive to “poor people” lol.

Dealers aren't "dying" to get rid of them- those are their easy volume sellers; thats what the Camry/Civic and Corolla/Accord are. Fullsize SUVs start around 55-60k and all of them have better engines than a Nissan direct injected V6- they're either dual direct and port or V8. Luxury fullsize SUVs start a few grand higher but let's be clear- the QX80 is, by far, the most bottom of the barrel in terms of value proposition. It has the worst drivetrain and the worst interior materials, and that's setting aside the fact it's not built nearly as well as the rest.
@@sly9263 the previous gen qx80 had a 5.6 V8 and this turbo 6 gets better power numbers. Again, the bottom base tahoe starts at 55 and a loaded tahoe is over 70k. Yukon denalis are 95k. This qx is better than both of those gm cars. Its priced under the escalade and navigator.
@@donn.4766 the old QX80 had a 5.6 v8 that was far more reliable and smooth than a TT v6 with no dual injection. the power on a fullsize SUV is irrelevant; it was never lacking in power to begin with

If we're basing this off of interiors, I'd take the QX80 over anything the the Germans are offering in this segment (GLS and X7) because it doesn't feel like the screens are dominating the interior, looking at you Mercedes, or BMW with how it looks like the screens are just glued onto the dash. The interior designers actually put effort into making the interior of the QX80 look welcoming and not sterile or like an obnoxious nightclub.

Hard to imagine Infiniti commanding this price point. They’ve taken so long to refresh this model that they need to go back to being a value player and I’m not certain this represents a value in the segment. The simple question becomes would your wife prefer a BMW X7 at around 90k or an Infiniti at 100k….
No, because it's not GT-R derived. The VR35 in the QX80 is a stroked version of the VR30 engine found in the new Z or Q50. Both of which are open deck design (weaker) compared to the GT-R's VR38 closed deck design (way stronger).

@@donn.4766 because Range Rovers are status symbols, you tried to disprove my point by proving my point. When people are not looking for status symbols they look for quality, reliability, good customer experience. I don't trust the Nissan Group to do any of those things with their current struggles.
An Escalade V competitor would require a 600hp tune at least and call it a QX80 S or they could resurrect their IPL branding.
Perfect way to continue my work day 🙌
Beautiful Vehicle
There’s no one that’s going to buy this Nissan over an Escalade lol. Unless its for price reasons…
Hope its better - we rented a qx80 for a week vacation and it was really bad as a vehicle - transmission, tech, ride - real bad
Hard to imagine Infiniti commanding this price point. They’ve taken so long to refresh this model that they need to go back to being a value player and I’m not certain this represents a value in the segment. The simple question becomes would your wife prefer a BMW X7 at around 90k or an Infiniti at 100k….
Can you tune the GT-R derived engine to 1000hp? 🤔
Maybe but transmission go 💥
No, because it's not GT-R derived. The VR35 in the QX80 is a stroked version of the VR30 engine found in the new Z or Q50. Both of which are open deck design (weaker) compared to the GT-R's VR38 closed deck design (way stronger).
infiniti needs to make a escalade v compeditor
@@jcdenton8750 and Nissan engineering says the 30 was created from lessons learned developing the 38. So yes, it's 38 derived.
GTR is 3.8 not same engine. 3.5 is a Maxima engine.
I would take this any day over an escalade . 5 times on Sunday .
EXTRA PIPES a good dig at THROTTLE HOUSE
Just remember this is the new armada as well. But 20-30k more. Same drivetrain
Another soccer man bus but hey, it’s better than a minivan!!
All the people that think they are saying the engine is shared with the GT-R really need to learn the definition of the word "derived".
Looks better than Lincoln 😂
looks better than most of them
Ehh not to sure
@@balmainattitude no lol the Lincoln’s starting with the Navigator in 2017 are way better looking than this.
Extra pipes? Like extra throttle house 😂😂? Potty you guys don't get along. Would be awesome a crossover, for all the fans!
Yeah too bad they don't get along with us, would be fun!
Marketing talk an utter load of tripe, it’s not luxurious, it’s functional in style. It’s still a bus on suv wheels
@TheStraightPipes
My wife and I were in Toronto and Port Perry for vacation, she loves that chicken truck! 😂
Hmmm maybe more Japanese Dodge Durango?
I really like it.
Just subscribed, can’t wait to see more of your content!
Hello
make the climate hot again
These headrests kinda remind me of Halo's 'Librarian'
Moonroofs open and sunroof's don't. Atleast that's what owner's manuals from 20 years ago say
Beautiful SUV. It's up to 3rd or 2nd place in the looks department on body on frame Luxury SUV's.
I’d take the Yukon any day
You forgot jeep grand Wagoneer.
Thats equally luxurious and priced competitively.
They should drop a V10 in this for no reason. Just to save the brand
a V8 would be enough.
Infiniti never had a V10 in any of their cars before 😂😂😂
That is beautiful 😍 but it needs a V8
Infiniti has a swag Lexus can’t match. This actually has appeal with Americans similar to the GM triplets
Sure, but if resale value is important to you...ROFL. Infiniti's are trash after the lease period.
that is true
infiniti and lexus need to make a escalade v compeditor
I prefer the chiseled looks of the Escalade vs the bulbous blobby-ness of the Infiniti
Wow 134 before tax that like 150k 🇨🇦. You can get a fully loaded Palisade and a telluride for the same money. Btw didn't like the dated second screen. It looks so cheap.
In the Middle East, they have the Nissan Patrol Nismo
As a lover of music in the car. Why no thourough 2 min. reviews on the factory stereos sound . Ive been in a few that are sweet and a few that are just down right terrible. And that was a 65,000 SUV
Can you guys start ranking massage seat function? Is this massage done with air bladders? How does this massage compare to the Genesis ergo-motion? What about Audi? Or Mercedes? Or BMW?
Es la mejor calidad del mercado la Infiniti qx 80 👍👍👍👍
