The tip concerning grape crop success reinforces why you’re one of the best car review guys out there. Nobody wants to be bored, your engagement & personality is top-notch.
Thanks your for taking the time to say that! I try to go beyond expectations.
Send me ur address I wanna send an apple 😂
Without a doubt… Joe all day everyday 💪🏿
Feels very genuine. Not awkward or forced. Love your channel!
Joe you make watching car reviews so much fun and entertaining keep up the good work ❤
Took the wife's QX60 in for service last week and saw a 2025 QX80 "Demo" on display. Infinit really hit a home run with this modern slick 2025 QX80.
I am so glad that you are digging it!
I agree, except that 407 inch long screen iPad dash is terrible. QX80/Armada buyers are like Landcruiser/LX/Sequioa buyers. They want reliability, durability, ease of use, and short turn times at the shop if it needs a repair. The tablet dashes will be hell if they have an issue.
The price will dropped like Black Friday in a year of ownership.
I was looking for the rear entertainment. Beautiful vehicle no doubt. I'm gonna wait a few years for them to work the kinks out bc all new designs come with their fair share
@@andyeighttre nah it looks amazing and well designed, it's not like just a big screen, it's designed into the dashboard so it looks better than BMW or other brands.
This has been my most anticipated review of the QX80 so far!
Oh wow! That is so really nice of you to say!
Not even in the Second min of a video, and I can already say this car looks great af... Thank you Raiti !
You are so very welcome!
Bro it sure does doesn’t it am definitely thinking hard about getting this for my family hopefully in a year time . Gid willing.
Wow, QX80 answered all questions that were posed to them. About luxury, gas milage, digital upgrades. And a more roomy third row. Very impressive. I have to say this is the new King of SUV's. I want one!!!! Good review!!!!
Talk about transformation and here is QX80.
This jumbo SUV is too Handsome.
It took a while but they did it right!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ quá tuyệt
Every time you drop a video off before it even starts, I hit the like button because your content is always on point and 100% accurate! Thanks for all you do Joe!
I can’t do it without you! Thanks for having my back.
I love the humor you incorporate into the reviews!!! Keep it up, you’re awesome!!!
Some early morning on throttle action from Raiti's Rides I'm here for it thank you Joe and Lori as always!
Thanks Bryan for taking a ride with!
Raiti is the only tester that actually gets to drive this car!
There is so much ground to cover when reviewing these new cars. Impressive how good of a job Joe does in covering all that ground. I think I do like the running boards that go up and then down on the Lincoln Navigator more.
Thanks for having my back Mickey!
Mickey from Enes tours, is that you?)😂😂😂
Lori is the absolute best! This Infiniti is almost as beautiful as her work.😊 Glad to see Infiniti has finally gotten back to its roots.
You are so right Don!
Automatic it’s nice suv I wish infinity listen
A giant ❤
Looks better than the NAVIGATOR and THE JEEP WAG
I totally agree with you!
For sure 🎉love this look way better !!!
Never a dull moment with Joe. Thank you and Lori for what y’all do 👍🏿
Great review. However, regarding the reclining feature in the 3rd row (20:55) the Lincoln Navigator had the 3rd row power reclining feature since 2020.
Raitis is one of the BEST reviewers online today.Engaging,thorough,funny.Love this guy!
Patiently waited for THIS MAN to talk about this engine, and do the 0-60 experience.
Fantastic! I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Always thought Infiniti always looked dated on the interior. This QX80 is amazing. Stunning, Great review!
It's amazing how many details other reviewers miss compared to Raiti's Rides. You guys are flawless. Most others don't even touch on the fact that the chassis itself is improved.
Hey Joe, I think this Infiniti QX80 officially puts the Escalade on notice. My favorite design question would be those piano 🎹 black key designs in the lights. It's so great I think even the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, would be impressed.
"Sing us a song, you're the piano man,
sing us a song tonight."
" Well, we're all in the mood for Infiniti, and this QX80's looking alright" 👌
You nailed it on this comment Chris!
NAAAW!!!!!!!! Cadillac has a V8 AND it rides extremely well too!!!! They need a V8 if they want to run with Cadillac!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping a V8 model is in the near future. I was so pissed when Ford took away the V8 in their full size SUV!!!!
This is for people that can’t afford an Escalade. And don’t know how whack Nissan is yet
Gtfoh !!! $110k can get you in any Caddy without a V in its name.
Then again, no new American car is worth that kind of coin. I say this as an American who has owned “dozens” of domestic and foreign cars over the years. Quality is no longer a priority to the Big 3. Just look in their service departments. . . They’re completely filled up with repairs and recalls. Quantity of sales is their main concern and it really shows.
Yes of course and I will buy this beauty 1 day.
I can see you in this one.
The stationary running boards look good and the power ones always break with age , love no exposed wiper & LED lighting . Power is impressive !! And tech is awesome ….
Well done on the review, have watched it over 6t times now . If all the finances aligns - might actually buy it.
I love this SUV and I have been an Infiniti fan for I drive the qx 80 2021. I need this for real.
Handsome SUV, but how will a twin turbo 6 hold up vs the V8 long term?
As long as the Nissan team didn’t hire the same engineers in charge of the Toyota TTV6 bearing debacle, we should be good.
Ik friends with the VR setup but you must must change that oil. They change there own oil at 3,500 miles full synthetic and they run excellent.
@@JDMFR3AK Absolutely. The lesson from multiple sources across multiple brands is that for newer turbocharged engines, the oil change interval needs to be 5,000 miles max.
That is the million dollar question!
That’s our concern too??? Long term and sooo much that might glitch in that panel !!! Yikes !?
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! THE FIRST DRIVE OF THIS THING!
I hope it has been worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides IT WAS WORTH IT!!!
I have compared this to the X7 & Escalade and i cant believe this blows those out of water. Looks leaps ahead in future
This vehicle is a BEAST!!!
I have a QX60 and love it. Been closely following the 80 redesign. Overall i like it. I feel maybe the wheels could be a little larger for the wheel wells? I dunno, something looks off. I wish the QX60 had a 450hp motor, it would be way more fun! Nice review btw, i watch all your stuff.
This or the Lincoln Navigator?! No contest, this new QX80 all day every day.
Thanks for your vote!
Older lincoln navigator is better it has the v8 engine and it also has air ride suspension
@@theshield1613 I’m afraid no Lincoln does it for me especially with their design language. And I don’t need a V8 especially if a V6 has more power/torque thanks to turbo/hybrid set up
@@dsell37 each there own but v6 turbos don't last in general compared to a non turbo engine
Jumbo luxury………looks very comfy. Didn’t know iPhone 47 was out ! Gotta go get one 🙃
Better get in line Tom! First you need this QX80 though. LOL
Joe, This QX80 or Yukon Denali Ultimate?
Is there no option for entertainment screens in the second row?
No there is. This one did not have it.
@@RaitisRides okay good. I CANNOT enjoy my Twinkie on the road without watching my favorite show
A great review, thanks!
Yeah Raiti, the gloss black has got to go in all cars ! It leaves finger prints and I don’t understand why they all use it.
I have the Navigator with the auto-out running boards, and a 2020 QX80 with stationary running boards…. The auto out runn8ng boards are a pain in the sphincter in the winter as ice and snow jams them up…I just keep them out, though there is risk in hitting objects.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
Awesome 👌 Video. Thank 😊 You. 😊
You are so very welcome!
Where do u put your elbow when cup holder is open
Does it have different drive modes like Sport and Snow?
Wow that twin turbo V6 sounds absolutely amazing bro
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Umm.. you do know it is mostly synthetic sound?
The fact I found another video of a 2025 qx80 review, saw it was a vehicle I hadn’t seen before & I IMMEDIATELY IMMEEEDIATELY typed in “ Raiti’s Rides 2025 qx80” cause I’ma Raiti’s Rides MAN 😎 TILL THE DAY I DIE & THE ROOM STANK 🫡❤️🔥
Man if they put this in the Nissan titan, this could have been a seller. Those numbers are very impressive
Screw that…let’s put it in the Frontier
Maybe it will be coming?
Now we are talking!
The 2025 Nissan murano looks similar to this!
Joe as always, another great review video (thank you!), and the apple thing for the teachers was just hilarious!
Greetings from Costa Rica!
Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.
Giant Homer Simpson Box on wheels 😂😂😂😂
By far and without a doubt, Joe is the best car reviewer out there. I watch your reviews every chance I get, especially while driving long distance. Keep'em coming Mr. Raiti!
I’m glad Infiniti is making a come back finally. They obviously jacked up the price but it seems justified with all the luxuries and next gen techs it comes with.
What a great looking truck! Infiniti out did themselves. Thanks for the review Raiti's Rides!
I would like to thank you and the camera lady as well for this professionalism
Excellent Work
WOW!!! I've been checking out your videos to find my perfect next SUV and narrowed it down to the Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 (leaning towards the Genesis) and you hit me with this???!!! Beautiful vehicle and I may have just changed my mind and found my new baby ❤❤❤
Love it!! I'd love to have the Infiniti QX80 and the Navigator.
I have a Qx60 infinity 2018 what I want to know from your video dose the 2025 Qx80 have driver assistance to stop so you won’t hit anything and dose it slow you down if your driving pass the speed limit. I love the infinity it stand out
Home run! Infiniti large and in charge.
They really did nail it!
Great review! Gotta have one of these
Your review is spot on!!!!!!
Finally! The review I bin waiting for this is the SUV.
I hope it was worth the wait!
Great review! What is the glossy thing with the 2 red lights that is behind the steering wheel in front of the gauges?
It is for the pro-pilot assist to make sure you are focusing forward on the road!
Has Nissan commented on what sort of 4wd this has? Does it have a center locking diff? Rear locker option? Is it just AWD. Does it have Hi/Lo range transfer case? No writeup has had any info on this.
That is a great question! We will find out!
They did a great job with dash and infotainment setup
In 5 years it will be around 25k with 120k miles on it.
This SUV is so damn awesome. I love it. I need to get one.
I can't argiu that.
I just love this vehicle not a problem at all with all the new tech features it comes with and more HP and TP as well wow if I will get and choose I wouldn’t mind picking this over the Navigator only thing will be for me is the Cargo space but I think I can manage that. But design is beautiful and for a person with a huge size family this is definitely 👍🏾
I love it good work 😊
Even though this SUV is expensive, remember you are getting a lot of nice touches and features for this full-size SUV. Yes this thing is able to compete with the lincoln Navigator😁 and other full-size SUVs
That is a very good way to look at it!
Are there power shades for all windows?.
No they are not
Y no screens on the headrest 2020 QX80 have some
Beautiful job 💪🏼always look forward Raiti for you review!!! You’re the first one I think reviewing this car. Can’t find it anywhere in California yet 😢not that we’re ready to buy it… going to wait for hopefully a used one … I love the redesign. I’m just concerned with longevity 😮??
Thank you for such an awesome review you and your team always kill it… I am expecting delivery of a white two tone “Autograph” edition mid next month super excited chose this insanely handsome machine over Escalade/ Navigator with absolutely no regrets
not looking back LOL! 😎👍🏻
You are going to love it for sure!
Hopefully they update the whole fleet because this looks really good.
Absolutely 💯
It is coming soon!
You got that right!
This is the one !!! Great review Joe
Great review Joe!!! The Hummer EV SUV in Tide Blue you did was the best. Greetings from Texas.
Best review on SUV
Thanks for taking the time to say that.
I’m curious how you would compare this vehicle with a grand wagoneer series III. I’m going back and forth between the two, I can’t decide. I love watching your videos, they’re so informative.
How is it when compared to the Grand Wagoneer though Joe?
Great job as usual my friend ❤Lori has the best camera skills in the business!!❤
I am 2019 Navigator owner and I could say this Qx80 is sounding better than Navigator
WITHOUT A doubt this channel is different BAD ASS REVIEW❤
Been waiting for this one. My only concern is the gear buttons. I’m not a dog owner but I know there will be atleast one person who has their dog riding shotgun, and what if the puppy steps on the park button when you’re going 70mph?
The system will not go into park. The car must be at a. complete stop to change gears.
I'd pick Nissan over Ford anytime. However the twin turbos, giant screens, new 9 speed trans, etc makes me wonder about long term reliability.
Thanks for your vote!
This is a very impressive upgrade! This one will definitely win over former Escalade and Navigator owners looking to trade up
Do they have directions displayed on front? Head up display
No tv/dvd screens in the back?
Not on this one.
Seriously? Everyone has their own devices now to watch whatever they want…it’s like wondering why they don’t have VHS players in hotels anymore 😮
@DavidBorda-oz9mu all the other suvs in this class escalades etc... have little smart screens in the back head rest...
Does it have a sister Armada trim? Comparison video.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That’s my question too.
No wireless charger?
It does have wirelesss charging.
@@RaitisRides I didn't see the pad for it? Where at?
oh myyyyyy..... quite possibly the best looking SUV i have ever seen (in my eyes) Good job Nissan
Wow!!! This Infiniti QX80 is amazing. That Infotainment System is so innovative. The Design and Luxury finishes. The Performance. The Seats. This design is literally about 4 years ahead of Lexus. Honestly 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Does it have soft close doors?
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
You are the best brother!
Hey Joe, is there more legroom, room for the driver compared to the Lincoln and the outgoing QX 2024?
The Lincoln has very comfortable seats with lots of legroom and the gas pedal and brake move up and down for four taller people and shorter people .
Yeah i ❤ this two idk which one they're both nice
Thanks for doing a review on the vehicle 🚗 🔥 🔥
Joe your haircut adds to your boyish charm, it looks good, but with a charming dash of childhood "first day of school" vibes. 😊
For the QX80 - it's a cool truck, impressive vehicle. But still hard to imagine choosing this over its competitors - but worth the asking price, and seems like a great choice for something different. I'm glad Infiniti is still bringing it.
Now this is how you do interior design. This interior is 🔥
be nice if you noted what rpm it is sitting on when doing 60mph and 70mph. get an idea of the 9 gears spread. what speeds does it drop in to 7th, 8th, 9th gear
Was really hoping to get to hear that sound system. This looks like a really well built comfortable ride all in all though.
What would you do if all screens stop working??¿? How much is that gonna cost out of warranty???
Always like your reviews....
QX80 Facelift is soo nice😍
Love it fr I have a 05 qx56. Best
Which trim is this
