Is the 2025 Infiniti QX80 a BETTER full size luxury SUV than a Lincoln Navigator?

Took the wife's QX60 in for service last week and saw a 2025 QX80 "Demo" on display. Infinit really hit a home run with this modern slick 2025 QX80.
I am so glad that you are digging it!
I agree, except that 407 inch long screen iPad dash is terrible. QX80/Armada buyers are like Landcruiser/LX/Sequioa buyers. They want reliability, durability, ease of use, and short turn times at the shop if it needs a repair. The tablet dashes will be hell if they have an issue.
The price will dropped like Black Friday in a year of ownership.
I was looking for the rear entertainment. Beautiful vehicle no doubt. I'm gonna wait a few years for them to work the kinks out bc all new designs come with their fair share
@@andyeighttre nah it looks amazing and well designed, it's not like just a big screen, it's designed into the dashboard so it looks better than BMW or other brands.
The tip concerning grape crop success reinforces why you’re one of the best car review guys out there. Nobody wants to be bored, your engagement & personality is top-notch.
Thanks your for taking the time to say that! I try to go beyond expectations.
Send me ur address I wanna send an apple 😂
Without a doubt… Joe all day everyday 💪🏿
Feels very genuine. Not awkward or forced. Love your channel!
Joe you make watching car reviews so much fun and entertaining keep up the good work ❤
This has been my most anticipated review of the QX80 so far!
Oh wow! That is so really nice of you to say!
Wow, QX80 answered all questions that were posed to them. About luxury, gas milage, digital upgrades. And a more roomy third row. Very impressive. I have to say this is the new King of SUV's. I want one!!!! Good review!!!!
Not even in the Second min of a video, and I can already say this car looks great af... Thank you Raiti !
You are so very welcome!
Bro it sure does doesn’t it am definitely thinking hard about getting this for my family hopefully in a year time . Gid willing.
Every time you drop a video off before it even starts, I hit the like button because your content is always on point and 100% accurate! Thanks for all you do Joe!
I can’t do it without you! Thanks for having my back.
Talk about transformation and here is QX80.
This jumbo SUV is too Handsome.
It took a while but they did it right!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ quá tuyệt
Patiently waited for THIS MAN to talk about this engine, and do the 0-60 experience.
Fantastic! I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Raiti is the only tester that actually gets to drive this car!
There is so much ground to cover when reviewing these new cars. Impressive how good of a job Joe does in covering all that ground. I think I do like the running boards that go up and then down on the Lincoln Navigator more.
Thanks for having my back Mickey!
Mickey from Enes tours, is that you?)😂😂😂
Some early morning on throttle action from Raiti's Rides I'm here for it thank you Joe and Lori as always!
Thanks Bryan for taking a ride with!
I love the humor you incorporate into the reviews!!! Keep it up, you’re awesome!!!
Lori is the absolute best! This Infiniti is almost as beautiful as her work.😊 Glad to see Infiniti has finally gotten back to its roots.
You are so right Don!
Automatic it’s nice suv I wish infinity listen
It's amazing how many details other reviewers miss compared to Raiti's Rides. You guys are flawless. Most others don't even touch on the fact that the chassis itself is improved.
Great review. However, regarding the reclining feature in the 3rd row (20:55) the Lincoln Navigator had the 3rd row power reclining feature since 2020.
Raitis is one of the BEST reviewers online today.Engaging,thorough,funny.Love this guy!
Hey Joe, I think this Infiniti QX80 officially puts the Escalade on notice. My favorite design question would be those piano 🎹 black key designs in the lights. It's so great I think even the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, would be impressed.
"Sing us a song, you're the piano man,
sing us a song tonight."
" Well, we're all in the mood for Infiniti, and this QX80's looking alright" 👌
You nailed it on this comment Chris!
NAAAW!!!!!!!! Cadillac has a V8 AND it rides extremely well too!!!! They need a V8 if they want to run with Cadillac!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping a V8 model is in the near future. I was so pissed when Ford took away the V8 in their full size SUV!!!!
This is for people that can’t afford an Escalade. And don’t know how whack Nissan is yet
Gtfoh !!! $110k can get you in any Caddy without a V in its name.
Then again, no new American car is worth that kind of coin. I say this as an American who has owned “dozens” of domestic and foreign cars over the years. Quality is no longer a priority to the Big 3. Just look in their service departments. . . They’re completely filled up with repairs and recalls. Quantity of sales is their main concern and it really shows.
Never a dull moment with Joe. Thank you and Lori for what y’all do 👍🏿
A giant ❤
Looks better than the NAVIGATOR and THE JEEP WAG
I totally agree with you!
For sure 🎉love this look way better !!!
The stationary running boards look good and the power ones always break with age , love no exposed wiper & LED lighting . Power is impressive !! And tech is awesome ….
This or the Lincoln Navigator?! No contest, this new QX80 all day every day.
Thanks for your vote!
Older lincoln navigator is better it has the v8 engine and it also has air ride suspension
@@theshield1613 I’m afraid no Lincoln does it for me especially with their design language. And I don’t need a V8 especially if a V6 has more power/torque thanks to turbo/hybrid set up
@@dsell37 each there own but v6 turbos don't last in general compared to a non turbo engine
Always thought Infiniti always looked dated on the interior. This QX80 is amazing. Stunning, Great review!
I have compared this to the X7 & Escalade and i cant believe this blows those out of water. Looks leaps ahead in future
By far and without a doubt, Joe is the best car reviewer out there. I watch your reviews every chance I get, especially while driving long distance. Keep'em coming Mr. Raiti!
I’m glad Infiniti is making a come back finally. They obviously jacked up the price but it seems justified with all the luxuries and next gen techs it comes with.
I have a QX60 and love it. Been closely following the 80 redesign. Overall i like it. I feel maybe the wheels could be a little larger for the wheel wells? I dunno, something looks off. I wish the QX60 had a 450hp motor, it would be way more fun! Nice review btw, i watch all your stuff.
Man if they put this in the Nissan titan, this could have been a seller. Those numbers are very impressive
Screw that…let’s put it in the Frontier
Maybe it will be coming?
Now we are talking!
The 2025 Nissan murano looks similar to this!
Joe, you're da best car reviewer on UA-cam!!! Keep the videos coming! Thank you!
I am 2019 Navigator owner and I could say this Qx80 is sounding better than Navigator
Before the pandemic these cars were going for 50 to 70 dollars but now over 100k is crazy
The base use to start at 64k and topped out at about 91k. They did add in so much more to this one to justify the price. If u havent noticed, nearly all cars are more expensive every year, its inflation and them adding more to their cars.
It’s like pricing jumped leap year’s ahead and left the consumer’s behind. My first house didn’t cost that much
Things have changed!
Car prices are out of touch nowadays. Before you know it, we'll be riding bikes like the Chinese. 😂😂😂😂😂
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! THE FIRST DRIVE OF THIS THING!
I hope it has been worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides IT WAS WORTH IT!!!
Yes of course and I will buy this beauty 1 day.
I can see you in this one.
Yeah Raiti, the gloss black has got to go in all cars ! It leaves finger prints and I don’t understand why they all use it.
Wow that twin turbo V6 sounds absolutely amazing bro
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Umm.. you do know it is mostly synthetic sound?
Wow!!! This Infiniti QX80 is amazing. That Infotainment System is so innovative. The Design and Luxury finishes. The Performance. The Seats. This design is literally about 4 years ahead of Lexus. Honestly 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Even though this SUV is expensive, remember you are getting a lot of nice touches and features for this full-size SUV. Yes this thing is able to compete with the lincoln Navigator😁 and other full-size SUVs
That is a very good way to look at it!
I have the Navigator with the auto-out running boards, and a 2020 QX80 with stationary running boards…. The auto out runn8ng boards are a pain in the sphincter in the winter as ice and snow jams them up…I just keep them out, though there is risk in hitting objects.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
Jumbo luxury………looks very comfy. Didn’t know iPhone 47 was out ! Gotta go get one 🙃
Better get in line Tom! First you need this QX80 though. LOL
This vehicle is a BEAST!!!
Well done on the review, have watched it over 6t times now . If all the finances aligns - might actually buy it.
The fact I found another video of a 2025 qx80 review, saw it was a vehicle I hadn’t seen before & I IMMEDIATELY IMMEEEDIATELY typed in “ Raiti’s Rides 2025 qx80” cause I’ma Raiti’s Rides MAN 😎 TILL THE DAY I DIE & THE ROOM STANK 🫡❤️🔥
I love this SUV and I have been an Infiniti fan for I drive the qx 80 2021. I need this for real.
Hopefully they update the whole fleet because this looks really good.
Absolutely 💯
It is coming soon!
You got that right!
I would like to thank you and the camera lady as well for this professionalism
WOW!!! I've been checking out your videos to find my perfect next SUV and narrowed it down to the Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 (leaning towards the Genesis) and you hit me with this???!!! Beautiful vehicle and I may have just changed my mind and found my new baby ❤❤❤
In 5 years it will be around 25k with 120k miles on it.
Home run! Infiniti large and in charge.
They really did nail it!
That's probably the best handling full size suv I've seen you drive in pov. Super planted. Didn't look like it had any body roll really. And transmission didn't drop a rev one time.
It’s an amazing new direction for Nissan/Infiniti but an 80k starting price is CRAZY
What do you think the price should be Ethan?
@@RaitisRides for a product in this range I feel like a base model should be around $60k from a brand like this. I’m pretty sure the x7 and GLS base price is close to this
I loved the review. Thanks. I have a 2023 QX60 Autograph. It’s really nice, but I love a big SUV. I never considered Nissan/Infiniti until I rented an Armada while on vacation, I was pleasantly surprised.
@@ethangaskillit's reasonable for all they packed in there.
So glad that they changed this vehicle!!!
The outgoing one was dated af and didn’t have the features this one has. So glad there’s plenty of room in all 3 rows as a big suv should have. The competition needs to add some more features, because Infiniti really blew it out of the water with this new one.
You are so very right!
I think the 2025 Navigater is killing this.
Giant Homer Simpson Box on wheels 😂😂😂😂
This is a very impressive upgrade! This one will definitely win over former Escalade and Navigator owners looking to trade up
Handsome SUV, but how will a twin turbo 6 hold up vs the V8 long term?
As long as the Nissan team didn’t hire the same engineers in charge of the Toyota TTV6 bearing debacle, we should be good.
Ik friends with the VR setup but you must must change that oil. They change there own oil at 3,500 miles full synthetic and they run excellent.
@@JDMFR3AK Absolutely. The lesson from multiple sources across multiple brands is that for newer turbocharged engines, the oil change interval needs to be 5,000 miles max.
That is the million dollar question!
That’s our concern too??? Long term and sooo much that might glitch in that panel !!! Yikes !?
I'd pick Nissan over Ford anytime. However the twin turbos, giant screens, new 9 speed trans, etc makes me wonder about long term reliability.
Thanks for your vote!
Joe your haircut adds to your boyish charm, it looks good, but with a charming dash of childhood "first day of school" vibes. 😊
For the QX80 - it's a cool truck, impressive vehicle. But still hard to imagine choosing this over its competitors - but worth the asking price, and seems like a great choice for something different. I'm glad Infiniti is still bringing it.
What a great looking truck! Infiniti out did themselves. Thanks for the review Raiti's Rides!
This mid size SUV Infiniti is the best not even up for debate!!
Full size*
No it is not. The QX60 is a midsize.
You are so very correct!
Finally! The review I bin waiting for this is the SUV.
I hope it was worth the wait!
Right at the bat. Dam I can almost say unaffordable for middle class. We all ask for more technology, but can’t afford it 😂
Tell me about it! This one is mega pricey victor.
love that two tone color. Those wheels really pop. I prefer the automatic running board on any luxury SUV.
Joe as always, another great review video (thank you!), and the apple thing for the teachers was just hilarious!
Greetings from Costa Rica!
Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.
Thank you for such an awesome review you and your team always kill it… I am expecting delivery of a white two tone “Autograph” edition mid next month super excited chose this insanely handsome machine over Escalade/ Navigator with absolutely no regrets
not looking back LOL! 😎👍🏻
You are going to love it for sure!
Joe, This QX80 or Yukon Denali Ultimate?
Now this is how you do interior design. This interior is 🔥
Main market competitor for this is actually Range Rover for a lot of shoppers. Navigator is so overdue for a refresh it can't even be put it into comparison.
Was really hoping to get to hear that sound system. This looks like a really well built comfortable ride all in all though.
Awesome 👌 Video. Thank 😊 You. 😊
You are so very welcome!
This SUV is so damn awesome. I love it. I need to get one.
I can't argiu that.
Great job, Infiniti .... The new QX80 is killing all of its competitors..Lexus LX & GX, Jeep W, L. Navigator, C. Escalade, BMW X7, Mercedes, etc. Plus, it's probably going to be more reliable than the American Brands and Germans, and it won't break you at the bank for innovative tech and features. $112, 000 is not bad compared to the Germans.
112k is bad for a Debaged Nissan! Not worth it!
I think this is the best SUV today
Damn what an SUV!! 🔥 $110k is insaneee
No reviewers are talking about how it now has Independent Rear Suspension but still BODY ON FRAME. They got rid of the rear solid axle which was necessary for handling and ride quality
Beautiful job 💪🏼always look forward Raiti for you review!!! You’re the first one I think reviewing this car. Can’t find it anywhere in California yet 😢not that we’re ready to buy it… going to wait for hopefully a used one … I love the redesign. I’m just concerned with longevity 😮??
I always like how JR uses food for storage space references.
WITHOUT A doubt this channel is different BAD ASS REVIEW❤
I just love this vehicle not a problem at all with all the new tech features it comes with and more HP and TP as well wow if I will get and choose I wouldn’t mind picking this over the Navigator only thing will be for me is the Cargo space but I think I can manage that. But design is beautiful and for a person with a huge size family this is definitely 👍🏾
I hope we see this engine trickle down to the Q50 and Z 😊
How is it when compared to the Grand Wagoneer though Joe?
Great job as usual my friend ❤Lori has the best camera skills in the business!!❤
I didn't know Klipsch makes car audio. Very nice touch. The lack of exhaust tips out the back is a zonk for me. The stationary running board is fine but for the money it should be powered. The interior is top shelf although I wish they wouldn't use flat panel screens for instrument display. The pumped in sound is a zonk. I hope that some of these modern touches are just a weird phase in the automotive world. Still a beautiful SUV but way too expensive for my taste. I would be fine with the CX-90 over this.
Where do u put your elbow when cup holder is open
I’m curious how you would compare this vehicle with a grand wagoneer series III. I’m going back and forth between the two, I can’t decide. I love watching your videos, they’re so informative.
Is there no option for entertainment screens in the second row?
No there is. This one did not have it.
@@RaitisRides okay good. I CANNOT enjoy my Twinkie on the road without watching my favorite show
They did a great job with dash and infotainment setup
If this is the beginning of a new era for infinity then they definitely have my attention.
Definitely looking forward to a new QX60 and if it's anything like this then it's a W in my books. Lexus better becareful because the interior of this seems to be special.
They are doing some big things!
Does it have different drive modes like Sport and Snow?
Honestly, the LX needs to be based on the Sequoia at least for North America so Lexus can truly compete with the QX-80
Or just be added as a different SUV like a SX
I agree with you Colton!
Sipping on some coffee manifesting the day I can purchase this one, but I have to travel the world before I do.
Gotta dream big for sure!
Love it!! I'd love to have the Infiniti QX80 and the Navigator.
When aggressiveness and luxury meet... The new QX80 is sick!
It was really nice meeting you at SJC Airport!!
I go to Napa all the time I live in the Bay Area it's so beautiful out there!! not to mention I'm a Infiniti fan so this is beautiful as well and I spelled it with a i😂🎉🎉🎉 like I said I stopped watching Doug when I started watching you
I appreciate you having my back, It really means a lot!
That SUV is sick! I wish they had a L version. I have 4 kids and need a Suburban sized vehicle. We have had an Escalade ESV, a Yukon XL Denali, and now a Suburban High Country. Until my kids are out ain’t no way we are going smaller.
I wish GM would put a plug in hybrid system on the 6.2 V8. My wife has a Lexus NX 450h+ and we love it. We have only put 5 tanks of gas ($200 total) of gas in it in 14 months. She drive to downtown Atlanta on a charge, charges at work, and comes back on a charge. If GM did that we would be golden!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you
This car is looking sick. I really like it. Always a entertaining video Joe, I hope the kid had their arm back at least.
Has Nissan commented on what sort of 4wd this has? Does it have a center locking diff? Rear locker option? Is it just AWD. Does it have Hi/Lo range transfer case? No writeup has had any info on this.
That is a great question! We will find out!
Best review on SUV
Thanks for taking the time to say that.
Great review Joe!!! The Hummer EV SUV in Tide Blue you did was the best. Greetings from Texas.
Excellent Work
I have a Qx60 infinity 2018 what I want to know from your video dose the 2025 Qx80 have driver assistance to stop so you won’t hit anything and dose it slow you down if your driving pass the speed limit. I love the infinity it stand out
