Never thought I’d say this. But Infiniti looks a lot more luxurious than the GMC and Lexus.
The lx don’t even have a digital instrument cluster… so not luxurious
I do totally agree 👍🏻
Never thought GMC or Buick were very luxurious. Cadillac until recently never really stood out to me either. Cabin materials really do make all the difference
I don't like all those digital screens around the dash in the Infinity. Im surprised Lexus fell way short on the new LX. Have you seen the new Genesis GV80? Now thats the right approach how to design a luxury SUV to rival the Germans.
Not sure about that I think the LX is gorgeous and luxurious. Also, whoever thought a GMC is considered luxury I thought that’s Cadillac.
Ill buy the Infiniti all day over that!!!
Wow that QX made the LX look like a plain jane Toyota
That's because Lexus is embarassing now.
Cant agree more.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 agreed. Rest in peace Lexus.
@@naveenthemachine Yes, it's just sad, but good to see you again.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 😂
People still can’t agree with me the biggest Toyota hater out there yet here we are… people are implicitly saying I’m right
Cant wait for the ARMADA!!!
That’s the most luxurious feeling suv in this segment.
it is like a mammoth....... i saw it in japan and it is totally different to any luxury suv I've seen
@@zenindoorplants8700It is. It has great design curves and has a shape that creates presence. Overall my favorite vehicle in this segment.
@@zenindoorplants8700 you saw it in Japan? The new one?
@@AnthonyMunyi only in the gallery at Yokohama
@@zenindoorplants8700 wish they would sell in Japan! I'd import it from there
I think they beat Escalade in some aspects.. third row heated seat.
Infiniti all the way!
I was looking at the Lexus, literally anxiously awaiting its arrival and unveiling (currently driving a Volvo XC90) but wasnt impressed enough to oull the trigger. This QX80 looks amazing and has everything I want. Definitely gonna buy this 😊
The Lexus disappoints. I like the the Yukon, especially with the V8, but the inside of the QX80 is quite nice.
RIP to the V8. I hate how manufacturers are forced to downsize their engines and barely see any improvement in MPG, whilst losing the smoothness of a V8.
I dont see whats new about taking off 2 cylinders they can improve mpg with auto start stop cylinder deactivation and direct injection
Go buy the old infinite if you miss the v8, no ones stopping you.
B O O H O O
I agree, much more reliable as well.
I suspect this v-6 is based on the v-6 in the q50, which is an incredibly smooth engine. This engine adds quite a bit more horsepower, and a LOT more torque with better fuel economy. Probably won’t sound nearly as good though, lol.
I still think the qx80 demolishes the Denali Yukon in terms of luxury but dead even with the Escalade
QX80 is running rings around the others on interior looks.
I just sat in this exact one it’s unbelievable!the quality is on point😊
Wow! It looks super luxurious. I need to see it in person
THE KING is back, I love the new design of infiniti QX80.
The Infiniti makes the Lexus look out dated 😂
The Denali is beautiful I have one and it’s amazing spacious safe drive very smooth handles like a sport car but the infinity is up a knotch
The interior of the Lexus 600 looks dated
Maybe because you look at STD version unlike Infinite displayed one
@@emadalruwishan8305 please make sense before you post a comment
All Toyotas seem lacking. Those screens from cheap Toyotas shouldn’t be in Lexus. Lexus needs to be on par with BMW and MB. The LS600 has two tacky screens stacked. Horrible. New GX looks much better, but still too Rav 4 inside. Does the IS have wireless Apple/ Android yet? Wireless charging pad? 10 yr old engine?
Because it wasn't even the full trim model. No chrome or 22 inch wheels.
@@Solacer8 get off that Lexus c#$@! already
I saw this in Japan yesterday, it is humongous
I think the QX80 is the champion between these three. More modern in regards to the look and the engine. However, I don't like that the second row doesn't fold down like it used to in the previous years.
It does fold down... do you mean flipping forward after folding?
They did this to accommodate people with small kids. My QX80 folds and I wish it didn't since I have to remove the car seat to let people into the third row.
It’ll fold too, it can do both
One of the best looking luxury SUV. GMC is is premium at best. But not Luxury. That's why Cadillac exists. So you should have compared the QX to an Escalade.
Exactly
It took long for the redesigned but it worth waiting.
Infinity 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 amazing 🤩
If they would put that engine in the frontier and a front locker with a few miner changes like better cameras they would have a best seller
The new Infinity QX80/Y63 Patrol looks VERY good. Better than the LX600 and LC300. Engine same family as the GT-R engine (from their own words) which is bombproof but with 15 years of technological advancement. I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two to improve it even further. The transmission is also the 9-speed which is used in the G-Class Mercedes Benz (which is a heavy duty off-road vehicle; it´s main purpose) but slightly reworked by Nissan/JATCO. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more durable seeing as the Patrol/QX80 is their halo model.
This why i love this ppl they just tell u exactly what you want to know
The QX80 is based off the Nissan Patrol so its reliability is up there with the Toyota Landcruiser. With any new car that’s been completely redesigned, only time will tell. But it looks pretty good on paper. Hopefully this is a good start to a comeback for Infiniti.
Generally vehicles assembled in Japan tend to have significantly better build quality and reliability and they take that up a notch for high zoot vehicles like the Toyota Century, Lexus LX and Infiniti QX.

I see a lot of people complaining about v6 engine. This is a better innovation… why use a v8 engine thats takes up a lot of space, weight and consume so much fuel … when you can actually Tune a V6 engine and get almost the same performance. And mind you, A v6 is cheaper to maintain and it’s cheaper to Buy a new v6 engine, if something goes wrong. An improved technology means reduction in size and better efficiency 🙄
It's basically the tried and true GTR engine. The majority of people will love it.
Infinity qx80 all the way
Waiting for the mid-cycle refresh of the Denali. The Tahoe looked amazing for 2025.
Love the burgundy interior leather. Very pretty but I'd rather spend a 100k on a house it would go a lot further.
what house can you find for $100k? unless you mean one that's in dire need of a repair and then you're gonna flip it?
@@JokerG16 Who said anyone could purchase a house for a 100k. I never said that.
@@4vinylsound you said you’d rather spend that on a house…how else was i supposed to interpret that?
@@JokerG16 Exactly I'd rather spend it on a house I'm not saying I'd buy the house for the 100k I would put the 100k into the purchase of the house.
Do you understand better now.
@@JokerG16 I just purchased a house last year for 275k. wouldn't the 100k go a lot further with a house than with a vehicle that will only last 8 to10 years. When a house I will have for life 50 plus years.
No second row screens?
The Lexus LX needs to based on the Sequoia at least in North America since it doesn’t truly compete with the QX-80 because the third row doesn’t seat three
The lx and sequoia need to be discontinued now. They’re just not very competitive. They’re about 30 generations behind the competition
What do you even mean!? Both are based of the same platform, engines, transmissions, axles…….. You mean apples to apples? Sequoia will be an Armada competitor
@@manoloprpr Yes, an apples to apples competitor to the QX-80
Its 3rd row got worse that its previous generation
The LX is a different animal…really designed for longevity, the build quality is excellent. It has never been the latest and greatest…they appeal to a very narrow segment.
I was considering waiting for the 2025 QX80, but the overuse of screens actually turns me off. My kids would ruin the 2nd row console screen in minutes. For now, our 2024 QX80 Sensory is good enough for my family.
Best SUV after the GX550
No the gx has no chance to compete.
@@naveenthemachine They're not in the same class.
@@naveenthemachine this competes with LX600, the GX is another category but what makes the GX a complete package is that it is a combination of premium, everyday use and offroad something not many SUVs do nowadays. Its like it a dash of Jeep, G-Wagon, Bronco, Land Cruiser, all in one. Thats what makes it the best. you must remember that not everyone wants ultra luxury SUVs especially if you are looking for something to last some decades and you can take off road
I'm over all the big screens to me is just a cop out for the auto industry when it comes to styling and button at minimum make your AC controls physical touch
You have to have big screens in 2024. They actually did a nice job integrating the screens. It doesn't look like 2 tablets they just stuck on the dashboard.
They want to grab sales then a 28MPG hybrid would've been a good start. Good looking vehicle tho
I think it’s nice and looks really cool. This would concept material 20 years ago. But I don’t think all of this is worth the increase in price of vehicles
I though the Cadillac Escalade IQ was big, but this Infinity is an equal size monster. Anyway, the name of the rear panel is far too big. I'm not a fan of these billboard style model name ads.
The contrasting gray and brown are also not that pleasant to look at. But the cabin is well appointed and luxurious although some of the plastics do look cheaper than its competition. That's not a panoramic sunroof though.
The Denali has a center console that looks very neat and simple. Conversely, the Lexus is very busy and look like its a generation behind with the center mounted bean bag shifter.
The QX80 is a beast!! Still feel the Escalade is in a class of its own. Nothing is touching it!
Nah, not this time. QX>Escalade hands down
Beautiful
LX600 needs a ladder. In today's economy those 100K+ SUV's will have small-market appeal.
🔥🔥🔥
as a lexus fan im getting some doubts recently these suvs are too much as much as i rule them out theyre breaking lexus's back i really hope the lx makes a comeback
They probably did not transfer over the sequoia/ tundra engine because of that major vibration issue they have.
I like Lexus LX but I don’t like the mirror put on the door, OK now Infiniti very good design than Lexus LX 600
Realy I like it
We need more of Qx800,Qx800 platinum,variety not jus on model in Qx80
New car sales are falling off a cliff yet the manufacturers and dealers keep raising the prices.I think they are playing the long game and are waiting on a government bailout.
the previous model looked so bad, this is a great step up. I wonder how the new Patrol Y63 will look like.
why the wheels look too small for the car
Landcruiser 300 wheels on the Lexus LX !
QX80 looks good... as does the Yukon. The Lexus has some catching up to do.
Also, not quite apples to apples to compare the Yukon to luxury vehicles. (Denali trim is darn close, but not quite lux.) Everyone knows that Cadillac is GM's luxury division. Still, the Yukon manages to hold it's own in this comparison. Looks like the 24 doesn't have the infotainment screen upgrade yet - as seen on the new Acadia. Guess they will get it next year.
It overall has the same shape as the old QX80. New front and rear fascia, as well as new door handles. New powertrain, updated infotainment and screen situation, but it doesn't seem like a new QX80, it looks like a much needed refresh. It looks leaps and bounds better than that Yukon, so there's that.
I think there were more changes underneath. I think they widened it by a few inches. But it is still an updated version of the F-Alpha platform its been riding on.
What else did you want? It's a big SUV can't do much as far as the shape goes. I think it's a totally new truck
🤔🤔 Tahoe, suburban, Yukon, Escalade, sequoia; etc same shape as before 😂
They were right to keep the same basic shape. Many people loved the design of the current QX80. They took the old design and brought it to 2024. Jeep does the same with Wranglers. Land Rover does it with Range Rovers. We're glad they didn't completely do away with the design.
@@caribgenius exactly! Why change the shape when you know it’s a QX80 before you even see a badge..
The speakers in the headrest is just asking to collect dandruff
Infiniti is way much better than the Lexus LX 600 and that's a fact!
Looks cool, but I’ll be keeping my 2020 V8
Rest in peace 🪦 Lexus.
Infiniti has objectively terminated the brand
F in the chat for LEXUS
Lexus was always trash. Or have you never owned a Lexus? And that new Infiniti interior is one of the WORST car interiors I've ever seen.
@@cw4623infinite is wayyy better stop lying 😂
You are an idiot you can not afford either.
You are an idiot who can not afford either vehicle.
I'm sorry, but that engines is pretty amazing. I'm wondering if it's gonna make it into the Z. 🙏🏼lets hope so
The Yukon looks dated 🥴
@Chris_really_
2025 Yukon, Tahoe & Escalade refresh right around the corner.
It's to bad Toyota didn't bring the J300 Land Cruiser to North America, I know the LX600 is basically the same vehicle but i cant get past the giant grill. Just gonna wait until J250 Land Cruiser (Prado) are selling at MSRP. The smaller size will be more manageable offroad anyway. If i needed a 3 row full size SUV right now Id probably go Yukon Denali with the 6.2 V8 unless I could get a really great deal on a Grand Wagoneer then add an aftermarket wood grain kit.
(Free) piece of advice: DON'T BUY THE WAGONEER if you don't want it to spend more time on the service floor than in your garage.
Check how many recalls it has and how poor it's reputation has been for initial build quality and overall reliability.
Your better of with the Yukon or a nicely used LX if you don't need something gargantuan.
So if fuel mileage doesn't improve, what's the environmental benefit to having a smaller turbo engine over a larger NA engine? Or this all just a farce? Nissan did a great job btw
I noticed that some car companies are going back to fairly normal car dashboards and not just huge digital screens that are absolutely horrible, and they look like you forgot your tablet in your car (for example, BMW). To me the GMC Yukon Denali dashboard is really spot on. I like the dashboard of the Porsche 911 ST. The dashboard of the Infinity ruins that luxurious interior giving the idea it's cheap. A craziness is putting buttons or sliders instead of the gear shift, I don't know who likes that, I don't. It's just my opinion, of course.Thanks for the video.
no one cares since it no longer has a v8. v8 isn't about power, its about how smooth it makes the powertrain and thats what people want in these large family haulers..
Another keyboard warrior, guess you never drive a Nissan V6 TT VR30/38, no lags, good torque and power curves over all rpms
The Navigator and Expedition havent had a v8 since 2014...thats 10 years ago
Youll be alright
So people want cylinder deactivation too? Because that’s what a modern v8 needs pass epa standards lol 😂 stop crying, go buy the previous model if you miss the v8
Denali is still the best. Back seats need a pass through for the third row. Not family friendly.
If they wanted “smoothness“ than EV’s would be the only thing selling.
I would take the 2025 Yukon once it’s refreshed.
I watched because it’s TFL and Andrea, but man do we need another 100 grand SUV? I guess the 10% that has 90% of the wealth need a stylish ride as we surfs struggle to find an affordable reliable vehicle!
Shhh...the new Chevrolet Traverse is coming to a Chevy dealer near you soon.
Also I'm sure the new Armada will be significantly cheaper especially for the base trims.
I couldn't care less about the luxuriousness of the Infiniti. I hope the Armada retains a reasonable price, decent off-pavement capability, 2nd row bench, and gains a sliding 2nd row and better cargo space.
Infiniti is the best in this class
I’ll buy 5
infinite looks best out of all in luxury side
I'm not sure why people keep saying the QX80 does not sell. It's becoming more and more popular. People are so used to boring American style SUVs that eveytime I pull up the reaction is "Wow, what is that?" 😂
the QX and LX will never sell that well stateside because GM owns the marketshare. but overseas these are the best sellers.
The QX80 has sold pretty decently, actually, and should at least keep up with the Navigator. The LX, though, has never been a good seller here in the States. At its peak, the QX80 was outselling the LX 3-to-1 and matched the sales of the regular wheelbase Escalade (which has since gone on to increase its market share since then).
@@bigd7386 oh wow. so the LX outsold the Land Cruiser but didn’t outsell the QX80. very intriguing.
@@JokerG16 Never looked at LC sales, but the QX80 has definitely outsold both.
Infiniti sold almost 10,000 QX80s last year even as uncompetitive as it was.A lot of people love the things.There are going to be a lot of low mileage late model QX80s available for sale in the next few years as owners upgrade to this new beau.
GM is bankrupt in company with Dodge and Ford.
Why are they going to v6s, why not make smaller v8s, 3.8-5.0L.
The low profile tires on that SUV look very stupid and improper. Are they going with the race car look or the SUV look.
Try explaining that to the entire car industry
These SUVs aren’t trying to appeal to the rugged and tough car buyer crowd. They’re intended for the affluent market who’s after refinement and style.
@@yissibiiyte I don't need to other SU v's and trucks have SV and truck tires not racing car tires this one has racing car tires.
@@DarthNero You're explaining all SU v's over the past 20 years but they all have SUV tires not racing car tires like this one has
That extended length Yukon fully loaded with a diesel engine is what someone shouod go for.
That lx is no way close to that infinity in looks that infinite looks sweet
Infiniti qx 80 is the best
Still no one other than the Americans offer an extended or long wheel version with more space after the third row. If only the QX80 did that 😮
I wonder how they expect to sell these at these ridiculous prices when the car market is cooling down.
Almost no one can buy these or a home. These corporations are so greedy. Car prices should be capped at 65-80k.
Don’t spill your hot coffee
I don't want to be a guinea pig so Yukon all the way 👍
Yeah looks different but still the same nissan armada chassis
صالون الكزس وصالون انفينتي متفوقين بمراحل عن الأمريكي بسنين فلكية الأمريكي عيبه ان تفكيرهم داخل الصندوق 😂😂😂😂😂
Fancy and pricey 😮
Exactly $80,000 to well over $100,000 and then these companies want to hold a press conference bragging how much they are cutting cost and saving the environment. Then we pay more than down payment for a new house.
@@Matucksthese are not for you go buy a Prius if you wanna save the environment chump
@@ClonewarswarsClone You are very stupid. A complete jackass. You clearly lack a few brain cells. Just shutup
make it hybrid！！！
Lexus, always Lexus! Why to choose a car / brand that is not reliable!?!
all those electronics..... so expensive to get, diag, repair, & replace
Wish they kept the v8 with direct injection auto start stop cylinder deactivation and have an xl
I have thicker bigger tires on my bicycle.
If you plan on towing you must get the air suspension. Not a fan of the lexus like HUGE grill. oems need to get away from that. I don't get why oems keep raising MSRP's. 80K dollar SUV's will sit on the lot. Luxury brands are becoming a harder sell by the day. Oems need to focus more on rugged SUV's with more affordable prices. At this price your chasing a ever shrinking pool of customers willing to spend that money on a huge depreciating asset. Essentially it won't take long before dealers will resort to heavy discounts just to move them. Just look at the Jeep wagoneer. Its was literally DOA.
sorry but nobody can take the crown away form the landcruiser, no matter how fancier they get!!!
The lexus lx is the biggest dissapoint
agreed they should just cancel it at this point.
Agreed. Reliability can only get you so far. Lexus' biggest problem is its own arrogance. They are stuck with the mentality that "less is more", "understated elegance" and "simplicity is art" bull crap, all awhile GM and the Koreans are eating their lunch with modern, bold designs.
Gee after I the biggest Toyota hater kept telling people all over the internet that the lx is subpar, you only now just figured that out LOL?
Lexus Lx defernt inside
The competition is supposed to be to get more customers than your competitors why are u pricing it the same or more in some cases, especially when u got less space and no v8.
Lincoln vibes but better.
Nah, that LX is cooked. Objectively it's smaller and doesn't really have the lux feel like this new QX80 has and the old 570 had.
Lexus
Love the QX80. Have had 4 of them and they hit it out of the park with this new one. Except the motor. No V6 will handle that heavy weight. Ford/lincoln, toyota/lexus, motors are all blowing up. Too heavy for a V6. Should had been something along the lines of a 4.4V8 twin turbo. That would had been the perfect motor
Take notes Lexus
Won’t happen. Lexus is done as a brand
People thought Infiniti was dying. But not anymore
Now it’s Lexus who’s dying. They’re becoming whet infiniti used to be
Time will tell, my Q50 dashboard started cracking at 5 years old.
Did you keep it clean it?
Boy put some ceramic tint on the windshield lol.
Yes, my Q50 sedan is garage kept, sun windshield protector, and 303 UV protectant. Same way I had with my 90 Maxima, 93 Maxima, 94 Sentra which are not cracked. Dashboard are almost brand new on those cars.
Not sure what material they used for the Q50 but the dash on my 2016 QX80 still looks brand new
Dont know why people are willing to pay 110k for an suv. Before covid same suvs were just around 80k. Stop paying so much. Please.
