You’re right but this isn’t a Honda nor is it a Toyota it’s a Nissan so reliability and Nissan don’t go together to sell you seriously expect a Nissan twin turbo v6 to out last a 6.2 naturally aspirated v8
@PoopHahah-yk5zb new gen infinity QX80 base flatform and engine is came from Y63 Patrol which is way way better than Land Cruiser 300 series. For decades since 1950s, only nissan patrol can toe to toe to the durability and longetivity of land cruisers, that nissan is not ur cvt junk (renault/nissan) bro.
@PoopHahah-yk5zb and the last gen nissan y62 is not using 6.2 bro, Only 5.7 liters NA V8 Petrol. The twin turbo of new gen Y63 flatform nissan is derive from nissan R35 GTR engine.
@@Ezone_X im talking about the gmc with that 6.2 why the hell would you think I’m talking about the infinity and yes the 5.6 is a much better engine for reliability
I’m gonna go against popular opinion here and go with a QX80, with the Coulis Red available interior color. I think Infiniti did a great job. Looks extremely classy. Yes it could definitely use a 48 V mild hybrid to improve start stop, fuel economy etc… and it is shameful they didn’t do that on their brand new model that is going to be around for the next well let’s hope not decade like the previous Gen. It’s a step in the right direction which Nissan and Infiniti desperately need💯👌
As a Car Guy, nothing can beat the LS engine platform. And no turbos or small displacement engine could ever replace a V8. Even the Nissan 5.6 V8 was legendary in its own right.
Technically, it is a ( updated )GTR engine 😅 but Im glad Andre pointed that out has been a tried and proven engine, i can accept turbos6 from Nissan 6:57
That Infiniti is sick. And just wait 1-2 years and get it for 50% off. The GMC is way more popular and hold its value. I’m looking to get a deal though. So infiniti for me.
I do not believe the QX will hold it's value better than that Denali Ultimate. Maybe other Infiniti models vs other GMC models but these GM SUV's are always in demand.
The Snapping Turtle Carlos Ghosn rates this claim as “totally false,” and if you disagree then you’ll have to have yourself smuggled out of the country in a large container intended for musical instruments. That said, the Snapping Turtle Carlos Ghosn does concede that the QX80 is FAR better at looking like a high-top sneaker in every way, so there is that. “I am the Snapping Turtle Carlos Ghosn, CEO to an ungrateful corporation, Lebanese boss-man of a Japanese company that despises me for my skill and success, and I shall HAVE my vengeance… in this life, or the next!!!”
I drive an older QX56 for work and while it rides like a 3/4 ton truck and the interior reminds me of an old Chrysler, it’s still going strong after 230k rough miles. So I’d put the reliability on both as really good. The new Infinity seems a bit nicer though..
QX80 in a landslide…. So much so that I purchased one last week to include over the Escalade. No regrets Infiniti killed it on this one and I have previously owned 3 Denali’s and 2 Escalade’s….QX80 FTW
Both big with big price tags but I can’t over the impression that the Yukon is a big luxury truck while the Infiniti seems more like a purpose built luxury ute. I’d get the QX without a second look at the GMC.
The escalade is basically the same as the yukon denali. Its like the tahoe is the stage 1, yukon stage 2 and escalade stage 3. They are basically the same underneath with some tweaks.
Generally speaking, the base Yukon starts slightly higher than the Armada with both starting in the high $50's. But yeah, the Denali Ultimate trim is gonna cost significantly more - yes, more than a base QX80 or Escalade (which both start in the $80's). Pretty much as expected, you know?
QX80 is the best-looking and more innovative.. I would even take the Infiniti over an Escalade. Only downside to the Infiniti, the autograph should have came with 24' in wheels which would have enhanced its stance and styling.
I’ve been a multi-vehicle gmc Yukon/tahoe owner. I can’t trust that 6.2 engine anymore. I pick up my QX80 autograph in three days. I’m buying with open eyes and hope this covers most of my needs. My biggest hang ups with the QX80 are the no soft close doors and the fn cup holder pops up when I reach across to control the climate control. If that’s all the bothers me, I’ll be fine. Much better than an engine blowing up at 8k miles.
Both are pretty damn nice. The QX80 is much improved over the previous model and looks great. But I think I'd still go with the Yukon. It's hard to beat in this segment... and the 2025 redesign is even better. Of course, us normal people can't afford either one though.
Range Rover Autobiography Long Wheel base is the class leader of this segment. Nothing holds a candle to it. Although it is by far the most expensive option. Even more than the Escalade.
QX80 is superior to the GM product the gmc has dynamic fuel management cylinder shut off which shorten lifespan of engines and 10spd transmission having reliability issues.
Yeah, I agree that active, fuel, and management problems. Follow GMC products, especially after overnight updates, leaving a lot of vehicles, and sent back to the dealer. TLC guys aren't even talking about. They're a class action lawsuit, being issued to remedy the situation. Those issues count when you're choosing a vehicle like this. Especially for this amount of money.
I love your videos but I think you guys are underrating the Gmc Yukon! super cruise! magnetic ride suspension! V8! screens in the back! Speakers in the head rest! beautiful looks! long lasting! I don't think infinity can compete with the Yukon especially with the quality and long lasting

@@DaleWillyand what data, outside of your Japanese fanboy feelings, have you based that information off of? V8s from General Motors last just as long sometimes longer than V8s from Nissan without issue. The 10-speed automatic transmission is also more refined and damn near bulletproof. You’re clearly in your feelings about a 2024 Yukon beating a brand new redesigned Infiniti QX80 that should be competing with the Cadillac Escalade. But you simply do not compete where you don’t compare. The Chevrolet Tahoe has offered air suspension longer than the Infiniti. Get real.
I love my 2023 Yukon Denali Ultimate 3.0L diesel. Zero problems. Maintained every 5k miles with just oil changes. I drive a lot! 50k miles in 14 months.
Both very nice, QX80 seems like its setup to be a big luxury car, and the GMC is a utilitarian vehicle that's turned into a luxury vehicle which is a good thing. They live in the same segment, but I think will attract very different buyers with the Yukon appealing to a wider audience and thus larger market. While driving around in most scenarios, the instant torque on tap from a NA V8 I'd expect makes the truck feel like it can move around more effortlessly than a smaller turbo gas engine. Turbocharged engines often appear to have better epa ratings but often fail translate into the real-world. Which is where OEMs selling lower volume in this segment are going to be most concerned with and GM not as much. Afterall they are the benchmark and now the only company to offer a V8 in this segment. Like Roman has said many times with the Ford Eco-boost, you can have eco or boost not both and for a big vehicle to move around with a smaller engine, you're going be using the boost more often than not.
Not true. It's out of boost whenever coasting. But most people can't keep their foot out of the throttle, so they never see the mpg benefits. I can get over 20 mpg in my Ecoboost easily, but the quick spool is too much fun. TFL raced all the engines. The GM 5.3 is underpowered and the 6.2 is gimped at high altitude, plus it's still behind the 3.5 turbo Ecoboost in acceleration.
@@jghall00 What exactly isn't true? You even made my point about boosted engines when you said "most people can't keep their foot out of the throttle, so they never see the mpg benefits" I would call that real-world use wouldn't you? The average consumer drives with 1 foot on either pedal at all times, so coasting is not in their vocabulary. They throttle up only because they feel they need to and a small displacement engine can't make the power to meet the acceleration demands that "normal" people expect without using thirsty turbos.
Infiniti QX80 all the way. This is a really top luxury SUV, from the design side (internally and externally), the technology side, and the quality side. Good job Infiniti.
I’m waiting for the 2025 Tahoe High Country to become available. Those are absolutely beautiful with the 24” rims from the factory and the inside is sick IMO
I am 63 my dad bought a 75 Suburban brand new 454 dual air to pull our Holiday Rambler trailer. We've never looked back our family has owned many more sense then GM product all the way
The new Yukons, Tahoes and Suburbans are massive. I have a 03 suburban 3/4 ton and every single dimension is considerably smaller….. and every new Gen they make it even bigger 😂
I can only hope that the new ones are even half as reliable as the K2500s from the early 2000's. My 2004 K2500 with the 8.1 was a very long lived truck.
@@stonepa The rust ate your 04??? That’s my problem atm but I’m the 4th owner of this truck and luckily the first 2 owners seemed to care about it with undercoating so the frame isn’t trashed but on the day the engine lets go it’s getting a frame off restoration and converted to a Duramax with new body panels and a nice paint job and I’ll have a brand new suburban for less money than a new Corolla 😂😂😂
The newest generation of GMC Yukon is the best looking truck ever produced. AFM, DOD, and 8-speed transmissions are terrible. If you get the 6.2 with a 10-speed, tear down the engine get rid of those lifters and build it correctly it will literally be one of the best longest lasting most powerful vehicles you'll ever have. But who the heck wants to tear a engine down right out of the gate that cost 80 to 100k. Some claim if you do very religious oil changes that the engines hold up but when it comes to the 8th speed they're just trash regardless
A suburban 2500 with the 6.6 and full float rear axles would be a logical choice. Once above the gvwr threshold they do not need all the cafe epa stuff and can actually be reliable.
They didn't mention the biometric cooling, the internal camera system, the speaker talk system where you can take a call while others still listen to music, the infiniti is way better imo. I test drove it and I was impressed.
Potentially useful 😂. Great video and chemistry between you two. I would go Yukon everyday but the prices have gone up tremendously followed by high depreciation I would assume. Also I would expect better MPG nowadays, at least in the low 20’s - maybe duramax is the way to go.
Have to wait for the updated Yukon denali and yes 0 to 60 matters big time especially for that kind of money and test them out I know the 6.2 fell the toast test while towing half it's capacity try out the 6.2 in a suv take the armada as well 😎
Good job guys, nice comparison video! I think the v8 will be missed in Nissan Patrol twins. The engine options alone is enough to keep me only looking GM triplets V8s , diesels . I agree with Kase the GMC is the better looking of these two. I do like certain features in the infinity interior, cool box consol is one that I really like.
This engine architecture has been in the GTR since 2007 so I think its pretty well sorted at this point. Id rather have a 450hp/516tq TTV6 than either GM V8, especially the 5.3L. You could convince me to go 3.0 Duramax though. I have a coolbox in my LX570 and it is awesome.
@@Jay-me7gw For me it is more that I just prefer a V8 over a V6 not that the V6 is or isn't reliable. I first had cool boxes in my 200 Land Cruisers and loved them, I did have one LX570 also had one and I currently have one in my V8 Land Rover Defender. I switched to Land Rover Defender when Toyota canceled their V8 Land Cruisers and LX570s. I just don't want a gas v6 in a large full-size vehicle, or even a mid-size like my current Defender, pretty much if I can find what I am looking for still offered with a V8, that will likely continue to sway my buying decisions as long as some manufacture is still offering a V8.
@@jdfleetguy28 I had a 3.5 Ecoboost F150 for 10 years and now have the LX570. I towed over 22000 miles with my Ecoboost in Utah and the surrounding states and have towed the same trailer around 5000 miles with the LX. I miss the Ecoboost. It was sooooo strong. The 5.7 gets the job done but the Ecoboost just did it with no drama or effort. If I could afford an LX600 with the TTV6 I’d be super happy. Maybe in a few years
Not all V6’s are the same. I had a 2009 Nissan XTerra with the 4.0 V6, bought it new and sold it 14 years later with 155K Miles, zero problems but it always felt rough, unbalanced especially over 4k RPM. Rented a ‘22 TTV6 Tundra and it felt so smooth compared to the nissan VQ40. The Tundra could rev higher with less noise and vibration but still not an inline 6.
Looks like there is a dent on the infiniti driver side fender by the hood. GM vehicles have the cheapest interiors - id take the qx80 no doubt about it.
The Yukon Denali for me, it is more utility in which the "U" in SUV stands for and the supercriuse autonomous driving seals the deal over the Infiniti QX80.
One of the best reviews bar none....however - GUYS......why in world are you comparing last years GMC against the new guy?? Nissan has never been know for quality - time will tell? The new 2025 trounces the Nissan - if you are towing, no brake controller? No low gear?? Let alone the price for this new ride. Can't deny from the outside its a great looking vehicle but certainly distance between the two will be even more apparent when you compare 25's. Keep up the great reviews.
I hate how everyone sugarcoats the gm twins all the time but they don’t realize they’re pretty much all the same bone underneath , gm has been having lifter issues with their 5.3 v8 and 6.2 v8 and theft is up for them a lot here in tx they’ll get stolen a lot , also reliability with gm is not that great , Infiniti to me is wayy more luxurious than that Denali and the presence it has as well , gmc has truck looks , also a lot of gm products still have too much plastic in their interiors . My pick would be qx80 over Escalade or Yukon .
Kase should get a gmc or Tahoe. He looks good in them. Well done guys. Kase delivers his co ceo look of “oh really “. And “watch this” I cried laughing. I love it. Andre knew it was going to be bad Oh no 🤦♂️ 2:56
9:24 if you want any GM cars to throw you back put the car in 2WD and don’t brake torque as it does not really help. Trample the gas pedal to the max and see the difference.
I always appreciate the large boxy look of the yukons and Escalades but they look basic while the QX80 turns heads. It's Wow what is that vs oh that's a Yukon/Escalade.
When most owners that tow, even a little bit, will likely just take the cover plate off and toss it in their garage somewhere, lol. Luckily my 2012 Armada doesn't have the cover plate, but kind of annoying that even the 2025's don't have a combination 7 and 4 pin connector. Its another (albeit small) expense the owner has to make in order to tow a smaller trailer.
Twin turbo v6 aren’t more efficient than n/a v8 because once u feel the boost you’re gonna want to be on it almost all the time, car manufacturers should give a v8 choice, heck make a 4L v8 with optional turbo.
Just goes to show you how dumb people are when it comes to looks over value & reliability & resale value in 5 yrs. I'm a diehard GM guy with Chevy, 2x Pontiacs and a Caddy under my belt with Toyota & Honda currently but 3 daughters have Subaru's, but that's when cars were affordable, just not the MPG's.
@@sgbradley or maybe people can just buy what they want to with their own money. Who goes out and buys something because they think it's ugly🤔 stop being so ignorant son
ASK THE QUESTION: GMC/Chevy - why do you skimp out on the second row? No ventilated seats, no center console. This is why I am looking at the competition.
Should've waited til you could compare it to the 2025 escalade this is not a fair comparison and not even the same class of truck infinity is nissans luxury brand and cadillac is GMs luxury brand

QX80 all the way no competition 👍🏼
Definitely the infinity
The new Yukons, Tahoes and Suburbans are massive. I have a 03 suburban 3/4 ton and every single dimension is considerably smaller….. and every new Gen they make it even bigger 😂
I can only hope that the new ones are even half as reliable as the K2500s from the early 2000's. My 2004 K2500 with the 8.1 was a very long lived truck.
@@stonepa The rust ate your 04??? That’s my problem atm but I’m the 4th owner of this truck and luckily the first 2 owners seemed to care about it with undercoating so the frame isn’t trashed but on the day the engine lets go it’s getting a frame off restoration and converted to a Duramax with new body panels and a nice paint job and I’ll have a brand new suburban for less money than a new Corolla 😂😂😂
The newest generation of GMC Yukon is the best looking truck ever produced. AFM, DOD, and 8-speed transmissions are terrible. If you get the 6.2 with a 10-speed, tear down the engine get rid of those lifters and build it correctly it will literally be one of the best longest lasting most powerful vehicles you'll ever have. But who the heck wants to tear a engine down right out of the gate that cost 80 to 100k. Some claim if you do very religious oil changes that the engines hold up but when it comes to the 8th speed they're just trash regardless
A suburban 2500 with the 6.6 and full float rear axles would be a logical choice. Once above the gvwr threshold they do not need all the cafe epa stuff and can actually be reliable.
@@jasonperry7970 Pretty sure they make a 3500 Suburban already but only sell it to the government as armored vehicles.
@@jasonperry7970 Good Call 🤙😎
They didn't mention the biometric cooling, the internal camera system, the speaker talk system where you can take a call while others still listen to music, the infiniti is way better imo. I test drove it and I was impressed.
Potentially useful 😂. Great video and chemistry between you two. I would go Yukon everyday but the prices have gone up tremendously followed by high depreciation I would assume. Also I would expect better MPG nowadays, at least in the low 20’s - maybe duramax is the way to go.
Infinity looks much better.
The only other large SUV I’d consider besides the Americans are the Armada/ QX80 twins given how awesome the last gen was
Interesting comparison. Let’s revisit this when TFL gets their hands on a 2025 GMC
Appreciate the video but it was twice as long as needed.
Have to wait for the updated Yukon denali and yes 0 to 60 matters big time especially for that kind of money and test them out I know the 6.2 fell the toast test while towing half it's capacity try out the 6.2 in a suv take the armada as well 😎
Next years GM full size SUV’s will have that new digital column shift. Looks interesting. Gotta go the duramax in any iteration.
Good job guys, nice comparison video!
I think the v8 will be missed in Nissan Patrol twins.
The engine options alone is enough to keep me only looking GM triplets V8s , diesels .
I agree with Kase the GMC is the better looking of these two. I do like certain features in the infinity interior, cool box consol is one that I really like.
This engine architecture has been in the GTR since 2007 so I think its pretty well sorted at this point. Id rather have a 450hp/516tq TTV6 than either GM V8, especially the 5.3L. You could convince me to go 3.0 Duramax though.
I have a coolbox in my LX570 and it is awesome.
@@Jay-me7gw For me it is more that I just prefer a V8 over a V6 not that the V6 is or isn't reliable.
I first had cool boxes in my 200 Land Cruisers and loved them, I did have one LX570 also had one and I currently have one in my V8 Land Rover Defender.
I switched to Land Rover Defender when Toyota canceled their V8 Land Cruisers and LX570s.
I just don't want a gas v6 in a large full-size vehicle, or even a mid-size like my current Defender, pretty much if I can find what I am looking for still offered with a V8, that will likely continue to sway my buying decisions as long as some manufacture is still offering a V8.
@@jdfleetguy28 I had a 3.5 Ecoboost F150 for 10 years and now have the LX570. I towed over 22000 miles with my Ecoboost in Utah and the surrounding states and have towed the same trailer around 5000 miles with the LX. I miss the Ecoboost. It was sooooo strong. The 5.7 gets the job done but the Ecoboost just did it with no drama or effort.
If I could afford an LX600 with the TTV6 I’d be super happy. Maybe in a few years
Not all V6’s are the same. I had a 2009 Nissan XTerra with the 4.0 V6, bought it new and sold it 14 years later with 155K Miles, zero problems but it always felt rough, unbalanced especially over 4k RPM. Rented a ‘22 TTV6 Tundra and it felt so smooth compared to the nissan VQ40. The Tundra could rev higher with less noise and vibration but still not an inline 6.
Looks like there is a dent on the infiniti driver side fender by the hood. GM vehicles have the cheapest interiors - id take the qx80 no doubt about it.
I like the exterior of the Yukon a little more but the interior on the QX80 is.... WOW...
The Yukon Denali for me, it is more utility in which the "U" in SUV stands for and the supercriuse autonomous driving seals the deal over the Infiniti QX80.
We need zero to 60 between the infiniti denali, expedition and navigator, and lexus
I love both brands, but i probably
lean more to the gm brands for the towing, especially the 3.0 Duramax
Is that a dent on the left upper fender/hood of that Infinity??
One of the best reviews bar none....however - GUYS......why in world are you comparing last years GMC against the new guy?? Nissan has never been know for quality - time will tell? The new 2025 trounces the Nissan - if you are towing, no brake controller? No low gear?? Let alone the price for this new ride. Can't deny from the outside its a great looking vehicle but certainly distance between the two will be even more apparent when you compare 25's. Keep up the great reviews.
GMC Yukon all day
I hate how everyone sugarcoats the gm twins all the time but they don’t realize they’re pretty much all the same bone underneath , gm has been having lifter issues with their 5.3 v8 and 6.2 v8 and theft is up for them a lot here in tx they’ll get stolen a lot , also reliability with gm is not that great , Infiniti to me is wayy more luxurious than that Denali and the presence it has as well , gmc has truck looks , also a lot of gm products still have too much plastic in their interiors . My pick would be qx80 over Escalade or Yukon .
Yukon Denali coz it still has front foglights on the bumper.
Kase should get a gmc or Tahoe. He looks good in them. Well done guys. Kase delivers his co ceo look of “oh really “. And “watch this” I cried laughing. I love it. Andre knew it was going to be bad Oh no 🤦♂️ 2:56
9:24 if you want any GM cars to throw you back put the car in 2WD and don’t brake torque as it does not really help. Trample the gas pedal to the max and see the difference.
Driving the QX80 is like driving a luxury car but driving the Yukon Denali is like driving a plane 👌🏼
definitely Infiniti
I always appreciate the large boxy look of the yukons and Escalades but they look basic while the QX80 turns heads. It's Wow what is that vs oh that's a Yukon/Escalade.
Does the Yukon Denali take premium fuel like the Infiniti?
The 2025 went back to a column shifter. They needed the space on the dash for the new infotainment screen.
Japan vs American. Japanese cars have proven to be much more reliable in the long run so Infiniti for me.
It’s not like Toyota/ Lexus/ Honda Japanese though. It’s a fancy Nissan at the end of the day
When most owners that tow, even a little bit, will likely just take the cover plate off and toss it in their garage somewhere, lol. Luckily my 2012 Armada doesn't have the cover plate, but kind of annoying that even the 2025's don't have a combination 7 and 4 pin connector. Its another (albeit small) expense the owner has to make in order to tow a smaller trailer.
Twin turbo v6 aren’t more efficient than n/a v8 because once u feel the boost you’re gonna want to be on it almost all the time, car manufacturers should give a v8 choice, heck make a 4L v8 with optional turbo.
Bigger is heavier which is more fuel thirsty. Even the size and weight of the motor itself is a factor when it comes to fuel consumption.
The Infiniti is really nice and I think they did great but the math ain’t mathing when it comes to that price.
90% of the comments or bots look at the photos and all they talk about is art absolutely insane
Anyone who says bots should be kicked in the balls!
Just goes to show you how dumb people are when it comes to looks over value & reliability & resale value in 5 yrs.
I'm a diehard GM guy with Chevy, 2x Pontiacs and a Caddy under my belt with Toyota & Honda currently but 3 daughters have Subaru's, but that's when cars were affordable, just not the MPG's.
@@sgbradley or maybe people can just buy what they want to with their own money. Who goes out and buys something because they think it's ugly🤔 stop being so ignorant son
@@atg1338Oh yeah they're buying it...bank owns it then they're on the next episode of repos lol.
@@crisikingful You are a sad lil boy
Let's make a bet on which one ends up in the shop first? lol
My money is on GMC first
ASK THE QUESTION: GMC/Chevy - why do you skimp out on the second row? No ventilated seats, no center console. This is why I am looking at the competition.
29:18 there's a button as well on the side of the seat!
All of the bots have joined in the last four hours the heck going on with RUclips
Anyone who says bots should be kicked in the balls! If you have any ......🤡
Remember everyone the infinity is a brand new vehicle going against a previous model vehicle. Let's what happens when the new Yukon Denali comes out.
Nissan will outlast that gm
I prefer the Yukon ultimate over the flashy Escalade, except for the front seats which are uncomfortable in the Yukon
BTW they changed the seats for the 2025 Yukon it's much more soft and comfy!
That diesel option is an extra $6000 (plus tax) … what efficiency lol.
2025 Yukon is even more incredible. Just wait till you see the interior!
make a new video with the updated Yukon
For you say the 2025 isn’t out yet. Indeed it is. The 2025 Yukon will kill that Q80 in every way.
Should have done the Escalade which is closer in price then these two were. Also Andre start your own channel it will be better for you
Has GM improved the comfort of the seats in the 2025? Are the seats better in the Infinity?
I just took possession of a 2025 QX80 Autograph. Yes the seats are very much improved, especially over the last gen QX80
BTW they changed the seats for the 2025 Yukon it's much more soft and comfy!
There’s a reason gm SUVs been #1 since 2009 or so …
thats a lie 😂😂😂 gm hasnt been good since 2002
@@mattnorman5241 Escalade is the #1 luxury full size suv / Tahoe is the #1 full size suv OVER THIS NISSAN 😂🤣 but ok
Give me the GMC , 10 out of 10 times!
Insulation on the Yukon is way better then the infinity... I was thinking like wow
Wait for the Cadillac Escape 2025 comes out.
Should've waited til you could compare it to the 2025 escalade this is not a fair comparison and not even the same class of truck infinity is nissans luxury brand and cadillac is GMs luxury brand
GMC Yukon all day long!
I wouldn't even consider the Infiniti if I was in the market.
