I’ve had a 2014 Sensory trim QX80 with 153,000 and nothing but reliable transportation since day one. Love it.
Don't bother with comments here most people here don't have money to put a fool tank of gas in this thing not talking about getting one. Love my 2019 luxe
10-year-old design, 5-year-old tech and switchgear out of the pathfinder. The balls on this company. 65k tops.
I’m not sure how Infiniti is still a company
@@GoOp790 they're still financially better off than you and your family.
Tesla model S has had the same bodystyle since 2012. LAND rover keeps the same bodystyle on Range Rover models for 10+ yrs. It's not about how "old" a design is, it about what it offers. Despite being "old" still looks attractive. It's got all the safety and tech features needed that justifies the price.
There is a reason Nissan as a whole is almost bankrupt
@lilmoris1 "almost" doesn't kill a bird.
i just got my wife one yesterday.....she loves it. so that makes me happy.
Happy wife is a happy life!
I just picked up a loaded Sensory for $77k. In terms of value, this is a better Luxury full-size SUV compared to Ford, Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, and Lincoln. Navigators and Escalades going for $95k to $110. Expedition, Yukon, and Tahoe going for high $80s. I agree with video and comments that this SUV can use an upgrade but $77k is great value…plenty of room for golf clubs and family luggage for our road trips!
Agreed just picked up a 2024. Price dropped due to 2025 coming out, great APR rate…drives great, love the V8…just took fam on first trip with plenty of room. Wife who was scared to drive a large SUV whips that thing around like nothing…no complaints.
@@ve2166Quick Question, if you don’t mind asking around how much are you paying with the special apr
@@asharsiddiqui9647it all depends, how much do you plan on putting down? Have a trade in? 60 months? 72 months? APR range between 0.9 and 1.9 depends on your credit. You can figure out payments online, take about 12-15k off MSRP unless you can negotiate more and work from there.
This looks absolutely great, I’ll be picking one up in 2 years once it’s about 3/5 of the price 😁
$90,000 for this is insane and no massaging seats . Infinity needs to pack it up or do a full overhaul
And NO Panoramic SunRoof too
you're crying over no massage seats? western privilege is so real.
I would pass it to a Patrol Nismo
The palisade offers way more. Massaging seats and all
@@kanwrld Which model Palisade and year? I have a 2021 Pali Calligraphy trim and it has heated and ventiled seats but no massage function.
Old school..but still,its a proven tank 🤘🏻
The GM stuff is a nightmare waiting to happen
@@JohnDoe-ef3wo so do ford 😂 or jeep 😅😅
This the closest thing to an American Land Yacht that the Japanese have ever produced. Big, heavy, low MPG, luxurious. Very safe in a collision, as the more weight you have the less shock you receive (and conversely the other guy gets more necksnapping whiplash).
My family and I are loving our QX80. The only downside is I get 11.7 MPG no matter what I do. Besides that it’s a magic carpet ride tank.
Lead foot, brother. I do about 15.5 avg in mine 😅
@@TheGnrleehaha right! i have the Armada, i average anywhere between 13 & 15 mpg in mine. i’d die if i average 11MPG consistently 💀
@@JokerG16 lol and then there's me with a 04 infiniti i35 that averages 14 mpg and i have the 3.5 vq haha, don't care tho anymore. Im going to enjoy gas cars while they're still alive.
This is a everyday vehicle getting 13 miles per gallon. 😂😂
@@clarencepreston573 You have to pay to play. Don’t like the price? Buy something you’re comfortable with. Im happy with 11 MPG for my daily. My weekend car is worse.
7:39 excellent review as always Joe, you forgot to ZONK the incandescent turn signals on the bottom 😂
For a vehicle in this price range, this should have all LEDs inside and out.
Thanks for that zonk save!
You can have a beautiful headlight assembly and design but if it even has a single halogen bulb like in the turn signals, it completely ruins it for me.
I don't like it way down there AT ALL! The rear end shape from the side is already kinda weird, but that blinker at the bottom is whack. Even its last version had it. The new Armada refresh is great though. I might take a platinum Armada over this based on price and what you get for it, along including the new look and tech. Shout out to the VK-56, still holding it down in this world of hybrids and twin turbos 😀.
I've got the top trim '23 Armada basically the same vehicle with different badges. Love the vehicle and power for days once it's broken in.
An absolute beast! I own one and could not be happier. My previous one was Lexus GX460. Power delivery is smoother in QX80 and seats are more comfortable. I love the 360 degree camera. 36 presets for audio, power reclining 3rd row and soft supple ride.
Will it be convenient for countries like india? How is it in the traffic. Is it too cumbersome to drive?
Say Infiniti's line up is outdated all you want but you have to admit they were ahead of the game with their designs. Yes they are in need of a redesign but they have aged very well.
Bingo. I've always said this. The Lexus GX didn't age as well as this.
Ive rented Armada couple of times. Drove down to Vegas, and LOVED IT. Even with being a little tight, I would still choose this old school dinosaur with proven older tech, a v8, over a compatition. Thanks Joe.
This beautiful vehicle definitely has a presence on the road unlike other Boring SUVs
Well, you are in the minority. These vehicles aren’t selling, and are struggling to get out the door. Meaning, most people find this to be the boring vehicle, and not worth the price.
I like the boxy and traditional full size SUV style
55-60k would be nice for this! The company didn’t have to invest in new equipment to make different parts, just a few! Overall is a good tank that looks good and gets the job done!
Get one couple years older that's all around 55k all good
I like the clean integration of the screen in the head rest versus the slap on look other brands have.
90K for that is way overpriced. Something comparable would be the Lexus GX460. Also a V8. It was refreshed in 2022 with a new bigger screen and Apple CarPlay. The base is 59K and the luxury model is 69K. Plus they’ll go 500k miles. Just a thought. Great review!!
2 different vehicles sizes. also, don’t sleep on Nissan, their trucks are rock solid and go toe to toe with Lexus/Toyotas too
@@JokerG16 yep, Nissan is obviously bigger, but it’s basically the same rig with a bigger rear and slightly wider. The 3rd row is still useless. I think most folks will still choose a Lexus and save 25K. Also, Residual values will usually favor Lexus n Toyota.
@@JokerG16No they don’t. Stop trying to justify your purchase of a Nissan product. Toyota/Lexus, are in a different stratosphere now. Nissan has been struggling, and it’s been showing in what they’ve released these past few years.
@@JBrown-go8ru it’s clear you either don’t get outside much and it’s clear you REALLY haven’t been overseas.
Toyota’s trucks now aren’t the same as before as honestly it doesn’t look like they’ll be lasting as long as before either.
@@JokerG16 I was stationed overseas for 6 (RAF Lakenheath) of 22 years (Air Force). So it really isn’t that clear to you. See what happens when you assume?
Damn, that's impressive 0-60 for a huge SUV! Good work Joe 🤠
I love my 2022 QX80
I have owned everything out there. This ride is safe, luxurious, quiet & a truly ultimate driving experience. Also it turns way more heads than my Escalade & my Porsche Cayenne did! Luv it! Luv it! Luv it! Don't change the body style please! Timeless design...King of the road!
Love the design, it looks very unique but I don't see me paying for it. For that price I would go for a full size like the Yukon or Tahoe.
thats infiniti’s biggest problem. the only reason to buy it is price.
Plus, they are cheaper than this junk.
I love the tan leather, joe. I might be 33 but my taste in interior style is that of a 60 year old. Infiniti is stepping up at least in the interior department.
im the same age and I cannot be blamed for liking old man cars...especially since I grew up around the New Millenium
half the cars on the road were still from the 70s and 80s back then
@@joecool9739 the good old days!
@@joecool9739yeah i’m 32 and have loved cars since then too. we grew up at a special time when the Japs were killing the auto industry with their sports cars.
It's sad that the Nissan Armada has LED turn signals in the rear but the QX80 has halogen turn signals in the rear.
Overseas, it comes with a rear locker. They are the goto big SUV in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There are a 8 at every stoplight.
i think you fail to recognize the Q50 and Q60 which sold 7000 units in 2022 and is their more enthusiast based offerings, which accounted for about 17% of Infiniti’s sales. Not to mention the Q Red Sport cars are a blast to drive.
7000 is nothing, so accounting for 17% of sales shows just how bad they’re doing. There’s nothing enthusiast about them.
@@Task-Failed-Sucessfully RWD/AWD Sports sedan/coupe with a 400HP twin turbo V6 and a limited slip differential is not enthusiast? okay lol. And never did i say in the comment that Infinti was doing well, their sales are down about 50% this year across the board but with the technology being updated in all their vehicles i feel like they will make a bit of a resurgence this year.
@@ValenR6 That’s like saying a cheap ass mustang is enthusiast. It’s not. It’s just a generic sports car. 400HP isn’t much you know? This ain’t the 80s anymore. Pickup trucks have that. Secondly I don’t need you to say anything about them doing good or bad as a sort of “permission” to make my own comment about them.
@@ValenR6 Resurgence with what? The brand is dead. Genesis is killing them in sales they have nothing new that is even noteworthy. Warmed over Nissans will ensure the brand is gone in a next few years. I believe what the previous poster was saying is that there is nothing enthusiastic about 7000K sales a year and he's right. It's nothing to even mention.
That’s the best looking exterior update to this vehicle yet. With no v8 Land Cruiser or Lexus LX this is getting more of my attention.
Needs a exterior overhaul...BUT STILL LOOKS BETTER THAN MOST OF ITS COMPETITORS
Luxury to me is less chrome and more matched painted parts
11:44 “you’re gonna want to know where all the gas stations are” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Joe I just realized today what ever happened d to the KIA EV6 GT review? 🤔
Mrs had a 2017 - identical and back then it was dated - that being said, so quite and smooth running down the road, absolute tank in the snow, but dang, living with a vehicle this size is a job - small parking lots, drive through are tough, but dang, so much the same
Infinity makes timeless designs
This is the “you wanted a Tahoe but the rental car company only had this” special 😬
LOL You crack me up Carlos!
Exactly!
…this is a lot better than a Tahoe lol
It's actually just as nice as the Tahoe.
@@yooowatsyaname673 if you’re from 2010 then maybe
I’m also still partial to the flip down rear entertainment, especially with having the digital rear view mirrors, the last gen Escalade esv platinum with the head rest monitors and the two flip downs were my fav 🥰
This will be my dream SUV right now Joe.
Not a very inspiring dream....
At all.
The Escalade is probably one of the best American made SUV in my opinion.!!!.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE‼️🫡
Best looking yes but quality is garbage
Escalade I bought new & traded it 3 months later. A total POS! Unsafe to drive would blow from lane to lane in crosswinds. Poor handling & cheaply built!
I’m still waiting for a redesign
2024 bro! It's coming
Just bought a 23 QX80. Its sensational. With everyone doing too many screens...the technology is just where i want it. With 3 kids and a dog this is cozy. It also does well offroad. And yes. We take it offroad. It tows well...Also, been a Toyota guy for 20+ years...but i wanted a bulletproof v8. This delivers. Plenty of people have hugh mileage inifinitis/Nissans. Its safe, rides amazing, delivers in every category
400hp and the performance for a car like this is really good. I wish they’d done more with the rear end, at least dual and less restrictive exhaust but that would be expecting too much from Nissan.
Sans the dated interior, I would buy this for the reliability, V-8 and driving dynamics. The style is iconic.
You are so right Joe! Infiniti needs to step it up. This QX80 is so old in its design. It is in desperate need of an update. Great review! Thanks for bringing it to us.
I’ve got a 2011 QX 56
Shocking how similar it looks to this
I’m curious what kind of car does Rati drive? 🤔
This car as with all infinitis was a good value proposition about 7 years ago. They have not invested in this model and I think it’s about 20K overpriced as a result.
I had a q50s and my wife had qx60. Both were reliable and perfectly fine but I would not get into this brand again until they do a proper refresh.
This generation of QX80 is so pretty from the outside
That's true about forgetting that Infiniti still existed. Another great review.
It's called Infiniti because they keep using the same interior forever.
Suddenly this interior looks and feels more luxurious and modern
@@naveenthemachine luxurious and modern? You need to get your checked. Interior straight from the 2010s
@@mattmekhaeil have you seen the LX? The interior is much worse 😂. It looks dated already and it’s not luxurious inside at all
@@naveenthemachine much worse? According to your eyes. A blind man can’t see and you’re one them
9:36 almost ate the curb jesus
Almost don't count!
This thing is one of my favorite trucks. I always wanted one n this one would definitely be the one except prices are crazy right now on all cars.
I like this Infiniti the color is tasteful, wish there was better fuel economy with the full size SUV models. Needs a redesign though!
You will never get better fuel economy if its has a v8 mate...thats why many car maker nowadays start replacing their v8 with v6 or inline 4...because fuel consumption is one of the biggest factor lead to buying new car by the customer
@@dolguldur4706 the government is in charge of all that. The strict emissions are so stupid
@@dolguldur4706 na v8s and v6s are disappearing because of government regulations. Engines are bound to be more unreliable now because automakers are pairing them to cheap turbos.
You can get a 2020 M5 competition for $90,000 or less. No way in hell I’m paying $90,000 for an infinity let alone this one. I don’t think it’s a bad vehicle but that price is wild. This shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as the Escalade. I think some auto makers put vehicles at a certain price point to force it in the same category as way better vehicles lol. It’s like charging $80,000 for a Nissan Cube and acting like it compares to the Ranger Rover Velar
I like analog gauges. I feel digital is a cheap imitation.
I have a feeling in a few years when everything is digital the super high end will bring back analog 😆
bro i’m the same way honestly lol. i love analog gauges. just simpler. plus this has the digital screen in the middle so you get best of both worlds
I feel like the styling has aged well this generation. The interior definitely needs a makeover. It screams a decade old. At least it still has a NA V8 under the hood
I don’t think the interior is dated. Have you seen the LX600? That’s more outdated than the qx80 and the Lexus is brand new
@@naveenthemachine sure buddy whatever you say 😂. Minus the controversy on the styling car reviewers liked it. Good thing nobody listens to you or you’re the one reviewing it. Love your hate it’s hilarious 💀
@@mattmekhaeil really? Did anyone say this gives the Escalade or other SUVs a run for its money? No
@@mattmekhaeil motortrend
Worst: 2022 Lexus LX600
Times change, but the Lexus LX just hasn't kept up. Sure, the new-for-2022 LX600 is better, with a more efficient engine and improved tech, but the company's insistence on adhering to the golden ratio may be holding it back. The 2022 LX's 112.2-inch wheelbase hasn't changed since 1995, and it shows. The opening into the third row is too small, and the second row isn't spacious enough. Add to that an excessive amount of body motions and a just-alright interior, and I'm left wondering what the LX offers besides the brand's reputation for high resale value and rock-solid reliability.
@Matt Mekhaeil I have noticed through the videos that he genually has a hate for Lexus products. I wonder if the sames for Toyota? 🤔
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Nissan Armada Platinum
Basically just a overpriced Nissan Armada.
But that’s the case with every automaker with the premium line🤷♂️
Patrol
True
Escalade is an overpriced Yukon, Navigator is an overpriced Expedition. Dumb and pointless statement
@@SacrificeBreedsSuccess possibly, but other brands tend to makes some differentiators in terms of interior design, tech, trims etc that you cannot get on mainstream brands
I have a 2020 QX80 I, and I absolutely love it. 20mpg highway city 14- 16, and I like the dual screen better, too. And endurance 5.6 engine reliability is a bonus. People should test drive them for yourselves.
Looks big and comfy 🙂
No “zonk” on the non LED rear turn signals? 🤔
The redesign is well overdue! The price is TGDH!
Great review. I’m going to buy a 2023 QX80 today, no joke
I really like the 2nd row screens built into the headrest.Sleek design.
I absolutely love Infiniti. I leased a 2012 G37x ten years ago. Such a fun car!! 🤩 I can’t see myself paying $90k for this SUV, however.
This is a very good point!
These Nissan Patrol's are built like a tank. Say what you will about the style, etc. The mechanics are solid.
This is so very true Nick!
I have to say, I have a 2015 and I like it much more than the newer styling they have been doing. Mine is almost fully loaded ( AWD, 4x4, the driver assist, 22" wheel & tire package, rail roof, illuminated kickplates, and the theater package). I honestly like the black leather in mine vs the brown in the top trim. Also, from my research the only other thing that I am missing out on is the lane change detection which I hear is pain in the rear anyway. I got mine last Oct for $25K, has around 115K miles now since I got it, but I am on the forums and groups and there are many there that have way more miles than that as long as you maintain it. I love the ride and how overall thought out it is. I will agree the audio/tech in mine is way outdated, but I have been looking at some aftermarket units that make it like the one in this video. I believe as long as I take care of this one, it will last and treat me well for many years, just like I have been taking care of my 2011 Jetta SE that is still in like new condition with only 85k miles.
It definitely Will‼️ I have a 2015 QX 70 .. I have put over 200,000 miles on it and it still runs like a Charm‼️ And YES keeping up the maintenance is a Must to keep it running efficiently ❤️
Awesome review Joe, beautiful infinti QX80. Iv'e always loved this brand!
Man!! That color is beautiful! 🔥
your video cranks me up everytime, especially the check surroundings for safty part lol
Nissan's VQ series engines are second to none, and now that the Toyota Sequoia is a 6 cylinder, this is a no-brainer. Powerful, throaty, timing chain, and a 2 speed transfer case. Though I'd get the Nissan Armada, as the Infiniti offers nothing substantive over the Armada.
And stationary running boards on the top trim?!
Nice Infiniti QX80 I think this is the apostle to the SUV's compared to the big 3 Apostles. Here is my 13 Apostles to the Automotive Industry:
#1. Lincoln Navegator
#2. Lexus LX600.
#3. BMW X7
#4. Cadillac Escalade
#5. Mercedes-benz GLS
#6. Mercedes-benz G Wagon
#7. GMC Ucon Denali
#8. Aston Martin DBX
#9. Chevy Suburban High Country
#10. Volvo XC90
#11. Land Rober Defendor 130
#12. Jeep Grand Wagoneer L
#13, and the leader of the 12 Apostles to the Auto industry is: the Toyota Sequoia Capstone.
Here from Instagram ❤❤ amazing I love these car videos.
Thanks for letting me share them with you!
I rented one of these about a month ago honestly it that one was 2020 or 2019 even it was nice but like you said it could use a redesign…I’d rather get a Tahoe honestly
Hi Joe. Would really like to see you do a review of the 2023 Lotus Emira. Thanks
If you’re living up in the mountains where no one can see you it’s a good practical choice. A Honda Pilot Elite would make a better investment.
LOL You are hilarious!
I purchased the 2023 QX80, and love it, I looked at the New Lexus 550, and QX80 top it, would have wish they upgraded the cabin with new features, I have had (2) QX 56 , 2006 and 2012
Infinity was the luxury brand in the 90's. Lexus and Acura were also rans. Things went sideways and now Genesis runs circles around Infinity these days.
I have a 2022 genesis, and you’re right, miles ahead, on about everything. I’ve had mine for a year and it’s been the best car buying decision we have ever made.
It is crazy things have changed.
Love it!!
Just imagine what twin turbskys would make on that V8
This is what the people want...... a must HAVEEEEEEEEE1
I just can’t see getting one of these over a sequoia or a Jeep wagoner but it’s nice
Love the QX80
Man, I think this review had the most Zonks ever! Another honest review Joe! Thanks
From wha I have heard from Nissan Corp, wait for the 2024 to measure how it stands up to Escalade and Jeep Wagoneer.
😁So right Joe! You stepped to the camera with the perfect message we’ve ALL been thinking 0:37
BOM dia! Seus vídeos são muito bons, séria possível você fazer uma versão em português como o Mat Watson da Car Wow?😅🇧🇷
I work at an AutoZone and I can agree with the stick-on vent comment. They would totally fall off shortly after being applied..
So I guess you don't rev up cars with back seats then.
Joe, I don't feel enough is changing with the infinites to warrant new videos.
I miss the double screens they took a step back on the infotainment system
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Just remember when this is msrp 90K. I bought my 2023 qx80 awd for 84K- a week ago- yeah its not a cadillac or navigator- but its also not 100K.
what trim did you get?
@@JokerG16 2023 sensory awd with aa few options i had no control over like illuminate kickplates
@@JokerG16 im coming from a 2017 armada platin 4x4. Its night and day
The HBMC is like driving on a cloud- the tech is cool- definintely sit higher up, but the hood is quite taller and more difficult to see, thank god for the safety systems and camera
@@adamjannik6539 oh sweet bro!!! congrats on that! you actually did the right thing, I always tell ppl that the Armada & QX are virtually the same, so if you're going QX get the Sensory trim to get the HBMC. I wish it was more widely available tho.
@@adamjannik6539 but you really sit a little higher in the QX than the 2017 Armada? reason I'm asking is because I have a 22 Armada and this thing is crazy high lol.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a pretty impressive Full-Sized SUV. However it's also clear that the QX80 is now somewhat behind their counterparts from GM, Ford & Mercedes-Benz.
That's why I find it incredibly surprising that they haven't introduced a 3rd Generation Model as of 2023, despite this version being 13 years old now (GM has actually introduced 2 Generations of Full-Sized SUV since it launched back in 2010).
Regardless, my advice to Nissan would to either launch that 3G Version or at the very least upgrade the interior & sunroof of the current 2G Version. Oh and introduce an Extended Length QX80 as well.
Qx80 is the boss SUV. I love the look old school and they hold their value unlike the big three.
For the top specifications of this car and its cost. May aswell get a range rover or top end land Cruiser.
I legit forgot about this car until you made this review 😂😂so Thank you!
I always like this truck, I'm hoping Infiniti knocks out the new one!!! I'm pulling for them !!!
The back bumper, how is sticks out is ugly but the aggressive front bumper makes up for it
If you want to complain about the gas or the price then you can’t afford it.
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👏 👍 💯
Just on looks alone Cadillac Escalade hands-down. It’s not just a dressed up Chevrolet anymore as in years past.👍🇺🇸🥃
It definitely is. Foolish to think otherwise!
My next vehicle I purchase I’m asking the Dealership to throw away the back seat entertainment replace them with some quesadillas 🤤 lol
