► Summary:
Wow. The Infiniti QX80 is by far the biggest and nicest SUV I've ever driven. This vehicle is premium from end to end and has a ton of great features. But...it is a bit dated.
Likes:
(1) Feels like a 90,000$ car...which it is.
(2) Electronic controls for the third row seats
(3) Center console with cup holders, storage, and entertainment controls in middle row seats.
Dislikes:
(1) Dated touch screen.
(2) No blind side detection.
(3) The center console is poorly designed/organized.
(4) Climate controls are difficult to use.
► Would I buy this car? No. It's very nice, but I don't think it's worth $90,000. I'd rather buy the Lincoln Navigator if I was in the market for a larger SUV and save $15 to $20,000.

Good review. I'm thinking of buying a 2017 QX80 right now. The analog clock is a luxury symbol in cars. Luxury auto makers include an analog clock as a focal point in the dash. Luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, Cadillac, Lexus, and Infiniti include analog clocks on the dashboard, not just because they are stylish, but also because they are functional. They often use high-end watch/clock brands, which also gives an added statement of luxury :-)
Yes!! This comment. Spot on. We had a Lincoln town car, Cartier watch Special edition, in the early 90's. It featured a analog Cartier watch face in the dash!
I bought one of these from Enterprise about a month ago.($20K less than brand new). It is the Base model but really a nice car. Real actual mileage with mostly suburban driving (average 25 mph) is mid 14 mpg range. I'm happy with that for the size of this car. Engine is plenty powerful. The exterior is a matter of opinion. I have always liked it. The interior of the Armada is very similar, but the quality of the interior is noticeably lower than the QX80. The exterior of the Armada looks like a pathfinder junior. I love the buttons, the clock and the controls. Very easy to use. Most of the criticisms in this review are minor. Certainly the nicest car I've owned. And finally, the third seat is fine for an average adult.
Oi the QX80 dose have blind spot assist. U have the base model.
+Itzilaandronesboys Yeah, I think you're right about this being the base model. Sorry about that. I did a carfax on this vehicle and it said it was the Limited. Not sure why it was wrong, but I appreciate you pointing out my mistake.
100 Rental Cars welcome the QX80 I rented from hertz had blind spot assist I rented one in Boston and one in Wyoming both had blind spot assist
+Itzilaandronesboys Sounds like you travel quite a bit. I wish I had gotten a model with blindside detection. I find it much more comfortable to drive these big suvs with it.
100 Rental Cars yeah it's huge.
100 Rental Cars also in the gas mileage you should talk about the metal infinity claims it is lighter and more dureable so if you wanted you could have talked about that in the mileage.
You don't have the Limited. You have the base. It's about $65,000. It it was re limited you would have cooled seats and bigger rims.
Are you sure? I ran a carfax on this one and it came up as the Limited Edition. If that's wrong, then I'm not sure where else to turn to figure things out.
Yeah if you look at what the Limited has to what yours has. The Limited has Tvs in the front headrests and heated rear seats. Yours didn't have any of that. Tip: if there isn't a trim badge of the back then it usually means it's a base.
+Disney Fan Good to know. I've also heard that the rental models are different in some cases.
100 Rental Cars Yeah. This car is to basic to be $90,000.
A limited has smoked rims with smoked tail lights. The seats are designed with Infiniti logo on it. L do have theater package on mine with heated seats but no cool seats which is weird on a 2015 model.. l also don't like the lights on the visor.l think they should change the lights where they give you an option to deem the light or brighten lt manually
I love your channel, keep up the great work!
+Steven Hauser Thanks!
Lol, this is not limited!!!! The base!
+Vytenis Rupeika I don't know, I checked the VIN on carfax and it came up as the Limited. What's it missing, in your opinion? Is it the wheels? Heated seats?
100 Rental Cars the tv seats
blind spot detection is available as a option it just simply wasnt optioned on this vehicle unfortunately
There sure are a lot of blank switch gear spaces above your left foot at the 04:04 videomark, for this to be a Limited trim model.
+J High Yeah, I think you're right. You are not the first person to point this out. I wasn't sure what model I had, so I ran a carfax to check. That obviously was a mistake. I don't use carfax anymore. Sorry for the error. And thanks for taking the time to point it out. It helps. Cheers.
Thank you for this video!
Looks like the Nissan Armada Platinum I reviewed a couple weeks ago.
+Neighborhood Car Reviews Really? I'll check it out. Probably the same thing with just a little different packaging.
100 Rental Cars Sadly Fleet/Rental car company are buying the Base SV trim. The base SV is $45,000.
can you remove the middle console from the captain seat
hey Mr. 100 rental cars! haha now you know why that QX80 has the nickname the Escalade of Japan. by the way did you know on Infiniti/Nissan remotes with 5 buttons on the for like yours, the top one is the remote engine start if you press and hold!
+007texan The Escalade of Japan? Ha! That totally fits. And I did not know about the remote start! Thanks. I was pressing the button twice (not holding it down) like a dummy. I'll try it next time.
100 Rental Cars yeah, no problem! I'm actually on my trip now, I had booked a luxury category car but upon arrival they were sold out and upgraded me to an Infiniti Q50 that I've been driving for the past week! you would like this car, it's got a better infotainment system than the QX80 by incorporating 2 screens. Power is plentiful, handling and braking good. in cabin materials good all around. Only complaint is the overly light electric steering.
I also found out you don't need to push the button on the handle to open the door, you can just pull the handle if the remote is in your pocket. pull handle twice if alarm system is armed. that's what it was like with the Q50
+007texan Oooh, sounds nice. The QX80 is the only Infiniti I've ever seen on Enterpises lot, but I'll try and request the Q50...you never know, maybe it'll happen. And enjoy your trip!
+007texan No kidding? Hmm, guess I'll have to try that.
Wow! That tops my most expensive rental car... last summer my family and I had a Chevy Suburban LT (not even the top trim which is the LTZ) that was fully loaded and cost a WHOPPING $65k as equipped... I liked driving it, but it was MASSIVE and again NOT worth $65k, just as you think this was worth $90k. Still, I'd like to drive one of these.
+Vincent D It was pretty nice. I think it's likely part of Enterprise's exotic collection. They also rent out Teslas, Ferrari, and Maseratis. All for way more than I can afford... And I still haven't driven the Suburban yet. Was it nice?
Yup, the QX80 is an Enterprise Exotic vehicle. The Suburban was nice, smooth riding for a truck-based SUV. My uncle had a 2014 Silverado 1500 (of which the 'Burb is based on) and his truck (even with the Z/71 Off-Road Suspension Pkg.) rode smoothly on the road, and the 5.3L V8 was quiet. We drove it 8hrs to our vacation destination, and 8hrs back, and none of us were fatigued when we got out after driving that long distance. Maybe this gives you some insight on possibly renting one in the future, we got ours from Avis as part of the Premium SUV class. :)
This isn't the Limited, everything is wrong on this vehicle, no dark chrome anywhere, no 22" rims, no darken tail lamps, and no Limited Badge. I would be shocked that they would even consider letting a $90K car be a rental, the base at $65K is a little easier to swallow. To be fair, this isn't the complete BASE unit, it has the optional AWD.
Great job!
would you do another review for an armada
+gowkrat1257 Thanks! Sure, I'll see if I can rent it in the next few weeks.
Great review. Thanks.
its a base model what do u expect?
Great vehicle
I had this car as a rental, and the third row was *tight*
You did? It's not bad right? I just wish the third row was actually usable. What's the point if an average sized person can't sit back there?
My 2009 Nissan morano has the same push park brake same sun glass holder ..Nissan steering wheels almost look the same...wood paneling for cup holder..I have..same center storage...not worth $90G's
The tail lights look soo outdated
NO DVD PLAYER FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY OR BLIND SPOT INDICATOR. I HAVE THE ARMADA PLATINUM AND IT HAS DVD AND BLIND SPOT AND CHANGING LANE WARNING AND STAY IN YOUR LANE WARNING AND DOESN'T EVEN COST THAT MUCH AS THIS TRUCK
You could buy a tesla with that money forget this car
Amen to that. The Model X starts at around $79,000. Man I wish I had that kind of cash to drop on a new SUV....
A Tesla isn't Japanese meaning it's going to break down
Good lord who would pay that much for that shit..it's nothing special at all..
Not a fan, huh? I agree. Remove the Infiniti logo, and maybe some of the chrome accents, and there's not much left to justify the asking price.
Lisa Lemon Lol. Thts the base model. It’s much cheaper. The limited comes with way more features.
I hadn't thought about the resale value. I like adding that into the discussion about these vehicles. I may try to slip that into my next video. Thanks for the idea!
Its push start don't hold the start button in gee
I don't see $89k. 3/4 of the price you're paying for the name
+Kevin Eaton I agree. I've been driving a lot of these big SUVs lately, there's really nothing special about this one.
It’s not a car!!!
