When I first seen this body style of the QX 80 back in 2011, I was like blown away with the design, and was thinking, this design is a Masterpiece, and today in 2022, it's still a Masterpiece thats tough to beat in looks, and style. Thanks Nissan/Infiniti for keeping their powerful V8 in this SUV.
I truly hope Infiniti can get through the issues they’re having with the outdated vehicles and lack of redesigns. The QX60 is beautiful and I hope it sells decently because I believe this brand can really turn things around in a short time with more updated designs and technology. Fingers crossed and great review by the way 👍🏽🙅🏽♂️.
@@Reesemaxx23 I agree 👍🏽, the QX80 along with much of the Infiniti lineup need serious redesigns. QX60 is promising but they’ll need more than that 🤦🏽♂️. I’m optimistic that they can survive if they stop making concepts and actually produce cars that get people excited.
Having owned this (still own one) I can vouch for the robustness of the vehicle. Reliable, smooth and comfortable. The hydraulic body motion control is amazing. It makes windy roads feel straight.
Great refresh on an old car, especially the center infotainment. However, as a Nissan Maxima owner I see a lot of Nissan parts sharing in here. This should prob be a bit cheaper at like $70K-75K to steal sales away from Cadillac, Lincoln, and Lexus.
this thing was hauling ass in traffic the other day. 5.8 seconds is no slouch with a beautiful machine this BIG. the design is so pleasing to the eyes.
Agreed. It gets a lot of hate because of how old it is. But honestly with all the minor refreshes it has gotten it looks amazing still. I think it looks better than most newer gen SUVs in its class. Looking forward to what the next gen will look like. My only complaint is the interior, although it still looks good especially with the new infotainment. They need to completely re-haul it and bring a more modern/futuristic look to it.
@@stevie421 Injust got mine today. I love the car, but the steering feels a bit loose, like I have to constantly be making touches to keep the car straight. Is this something that happens to you or is it just the way big suvs drive?
So beautiful Infiniti Qx80, it is one of my favorite cars. Good and reliable engine, good and strong transmission, nice design, a strong and durable car as the well known Nissan Patrol. Excellent car and excellent review.
These Infiniti’s are absolutely amazing it is just one little problem is that the tech in them is old. My 2008 has the same tech as a 2020. Lol but the amazing exterior makes it worth it
@@tesla_models you must be joking comparing Infiniiti with a Lexus. No vehicles come close to any of the Lexus vehicles. when comparing apples to apples.
Although this interior looks exactly like the Armada, I like it for the functionality. It has real buttons in the climate controls unlike the QX60 and it is more intuitive than the previous QX80. Until the redesigned Lexus LX comes to the US, QX80 is king
I appreciate the new technology in these Infinitis, they were always some of the best looking cars, but felt short in other ways and through being outdated.
Infiniti tech here! I completely agree. I love the company but they’ve made bad decisions but it is what it is. They’ve seemed to put a lot of effort into Nissan lately. If that pays off, i hope the big bosses focus on Infinti again.
I have a 2015 QX80 Limited…I put 57k miles on her, drove her from SoCal to Texas about 8 times…she’s never had an issue. Brakes, battery, tires, fluids…🎉
5.8sec 0-60mph is gnarly for an SUV that is that heavy and big. I've always loved the look of the Nissan and Infinite full sized SUV's...the Armada and the QX80 are like those other alternatives to the much harder to acquire Toyota Landcruiser and the Lexus LX SUV's. The weird issue is that with how expensive these cars are, while they refreshed the interior a bit, they still barely touched the GUI of the infotainment system. It pales incomparison to the Palisade and Santa Fe in terms of usability. The Nissan Pathfinder also falls from grace a bit with a much older and slower interfaces, but the full digital dash is so pleasant in the Pathfinder, but so odd not to see in the Armada or QX.
I just purchased a 2022 qx80 sensory. The reason being you still get a lot of luxury for the price. A little out dated yes but worth the 40k difference you’ll pay for an Escalade. Even Denali’s are running north of 90k and what’s gonna last longer a Nissan product or a GM?
I really like the interior of all new QX60. The exterior of QX80 is awesome as usual, but the interior still needs a little tech upgrade since it is already the end of 2021.
Infinity is a good vehicle but what I hated about previous generation of this SUV is that the back and tail lights design,whatever this 2022 design and style is very impressive
I have a 2011 QX56 which is the same body style of the QX80. I am a little disappointed that for the 2022 QX 80 that did not put in a panoramic sunroof. the Panoramic Sunroof would have definitely improve the styling of the vehicle along with expanding the third row to make it comfortable for adults. If they do that I would be interested in trading in my vehicle.
I love this vehicle, but man they struck out a lot with their competition!! No Panaromic Roof?!?! WTF. Over 90k and it's missing a lot and btw more like a 8 inch screen with the camer not going full screen
When this comes in an all-new, it will likely eat everything around it. The Luxury still holds great. I hope they perfect the 3rd row seat to at least the Escalade’s space.
I have my 2019 QX80 and i loved I'm old school .. I like keys and gauges… I don't find sense of so much touchscreen and nonsense of that! I have also driven many scalade, gmc and those drive like pickup trucks, and their accelerator is very spongy, Lincoln not to mention 👎... none makes you feel as pleasant as a QX80
It does go full screen on the armada you just have to hit the map button next to the controller by the shifter. Full screen maps is only on the built in navigation on both vehicles.
It's funny the Lexus fan boys were making fun of Infiniti for keeping the dual screen calling it old and redundant. But now look at their new flagship suv now they change their tune
This is a nice upgrade, but Infiniti is going to drop the bomb when they come out with a QX80 Monograph concept. We’ve seen what they’ve done with QX60, it’s a matter of time until they will do the same with the QX80.
@@jamesdonoghue7967 money. Lack of funds is keeping Nissan\Infiniti a bit behind the competition. But even after facing so many problems i must say they are trying really hard to improve their vehicles and it's showing, just a bit slow but steady.
Same old 10 year version since 2011. Front and rear facia have been revamped and the infotainment center dash is taken from the Nissan Armada this year(2022). They need to refresh this one for sure. I have the 2006 QX56 and 2019 QX80. I hope next year they would make it a big bigger in the rear, add panoramic roof, massaging seats, digital interior dash integrated within the dash with some flare. Also they could update the engine(though this 5.6 is butter) and add some better speakers than Bose. This thing is super reliable except for the Catalytic converters they will go bad around 80K. Plus this version is much cheaper than all the others out there and less to maintain.
Agree! My wife had a QX56 and now has a QX80.. She's ready for a new SUV, but tired of this 10 year refresh. Looks like she will be getting another brand due to the lack of redesign
I took this vehicle for a test drive. It was on my short list but I was mortified to discover I wasn’t able to fit my deep dish Chicago style pizza in the center console. For that price point it was a huge non starter.
Hi buddy , hey I’m surprise you didn’t zonk the back turn signals , me personally it bothers me every time they place turn signals in the lower bumper , it’s impractical, unsafe for low visibility. Anyone else ?
Hey 👋 good morning great video on the INFINITE Qx80 thank you bringing this one to us. I like INFINITE have the Qx60 myself. While the refresh is nice I think 🤔 a redesign would be better for this vehicle to stay competitive with the other brands in the full size category. However the pricing is good compared to the other luxury brands so that's a plus to be under the 100K price point. Thanks to Lori and yourself once again for this video have a great day.
