2019 Infiniti QX80 Limited: FULL REVIEW | Watch Out Escalade Platinum!

[@superwangwei3630]

I know this is a very old suv but it’s still very attractive to my taste. It’s a true body on frame off roader. Amazing review as always.

[@JulezWinnfield]

Nice to see Infiniti still kept that 2013 infotainment system on a $92,000 upgraded luxury SUV.

[@carholic-sz3qv]

Lol

[@deegreatest6460]

They find perfection and thats reason not to change it :)

[@skyforce2132]

The front of the car looks like a beluga whales face

[@Rob4God41]

Definitely looks dated.

[@enam100]

Not sure why Infiniti did not change the interior dash design. Armada and Qx80 look almost same dashboard wise.

[@b.f.378]

That's Infiniti for ya! . Look at the last G37 & the previous gen Maxima. The QX60 & the Pathfinder. The Infinitis that share a platform with Nissans, usually have the same dashboard and interior.

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

Baasil F. Except that the G37 and last gen Maxima do not share the same platform. One is on the FM, which is rwd. The other one is D, which is fwd.

[@thaddeuswagaba6380]

@Gomer Pyle no but I drive a 2007 car but I'm just saying if I'm paying 90k for a car the keyfob shouldn't be the same as all the other models at least give it some differences, especially that it's been the same key fob for years now

[@marioferrusquia7934]

I think it needs a Mercedes-Benz key fob, just like the Qx30.

[@dellhpfree]

Sometimes I like my comment to help get started.

[@CarConfections]

Lol well here's a boost

[@royalgreenlantern]

Why do they keep making cars with a 10 year old interior .

[@lucashuang10]

KEENAN JORDAN my assumption is that a lot of consumer who buy these are older gentlemen who doesn’t care about futuristic design and prefers classic design. I personally prefer this over the q50/60 dumb double screen set up.

[@b3at2]

KEENAN JORDAN word thats what i was saying.. interior is lame.

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

Best selling cars don’t need so much new interiors,because it’s based on the legendary Nissan patrol for the middle-eastern countries dubai and Saudi Arabia.

[@sansaraklifestyle4436]

It's not ten years old!!!!!

[@codycrawford2385]

Shahrukh Abbas I love the design in and out

[@windanthonystream]

This day in age with new technology. A bad infotainment system is a deal breaker. As much as love the looks on the outside, but I would not buy this just because of the dated interior. Even the new Altima that was just released has a better infotainment system.

[@dfitch811]

Just rented one of these for a week, the nav is slow and infuriating to use. The driving dynamics and power were good enough, but the nav system and infotainment were so irritating to use that it hurt the total package...

[@GusGus1996]

If you look at the dash where it meets the door, it does not line up. For 90,000 dollars they should line up

[@TinNguyen-rx3mf]

Gus Morales I noticed that too. Poor build quality for a $90k plus vehicle. And the key fob is the same one in a $20k Nissan. Dated info system. I’ll take the Lexus LX570 any day.

[@bgreenjr7149]

I was going to say the same thing, It's not even close. Same key as you get with the Altima. Fail!

[@999Mrwahab]

it's built that way since 2009 for some reason even the Nissan Patrol has the same dash

[@codycrawford2385]

Gus Morales it’s not a BMW, and it looks perfectly fine to me

[@tonywellington7854]

+Gus Morales its a FUCKING NISSAN they build CRAP

[@alperark9546]

I don't like the center console. It looks like a 2004 rather than a 2019.

[@JohnSmith-ve8pd]

Man, not having a dig at Infiniti at all but they really just don't want us to like them. C'mon, this interior dashboard is outdated by what, a decade? They would receive much more positive feedback and would sell a lot more if they put an effort into making a modern interior dashboard. I'm sure they can conjure up an interior that is more pleasing to the eye, look at their cars for God's sake, it's just the interior dashboards that let them down. Look at Lexus, they have had generations of interior dashboards, constantly evolving for different models and looking better each time. Acura as well, look at the RDX. I feel like they need to revamp their whole interior/electronics design team at Infiniti, if they even have one at this present moment. C'mon Inifiniti, we want to like your brand.

[@bobsmith9603]

John Smith Yea. I’m a big fan of Infiniti and own a QX80 and gotta admit that I am quite disappointed in the lack of the redesign in the interior. It just looks straight up outdated..

[@leesuper73]

Hope this new infinity helps the resale value of my 2018 Nissan Armada cause it's 99% the same as this car.

[@MistahWorldwide]

This is so close to amazing. All it needs is a much bigger infotainment screen, apple carplay, digital gauge cluster, and thigh extensions on the seats.

[@LitfinA]

Yup

[@codycrawford2385]

Abid Niaz I agree

[@carloscampos-kl2kl]

I agree the exterior is amazing

[@enam100]

Your reviews are GREAT!!. Thank you for what you do. PS: if possible do a review on the new Lincoln Navigator.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you Enayet! We have reviewed an '18 already and hopefully the '19 isn't too far from coming out!

[@andreholmessr5464]

There is no way I'd pay 90k for this. No apple or Google, key phob from an Altima, and dated looking interior. I'll take the Navigator and Caddy over this overpriced monstrosity.

[@tonyfitch3711]

@Ameer K lol o yea tell me how reliable nissan/infiniti is

[@vincentedwards662]

Lovely vehicle, looks like a well built Rottweiler, shore would like to be behind the wheel of that.(Absolutely breathtaking)

[@skyforce2132]

The Lincoln Navigator is better

[@LuisGonzalez-sb9lx]

Meh. Just a tiny bit better.

[@shihanjian5379]

Over-priced, even though it tries to match with LX-570's, but the interior is really outdated. I like the exterior though.

[@kodeys4090]

Reviews are good, keep it up. How is Infiniti even still in business? Anyone else notice the huge gap between the passenger door and the dash??? The wood grain on the passenger door isn’t even aligned with the dash, at like a 60 degree angle!! Haha And like, the drivers seat controls are cheaper than a Ford Edge....

[@beekaye1496]

Very old, 2010-18 same, 2019 updated the facial and tail. Same interior just new leather color. Wait for the 2021 when the total redesign will be offered after the 2020 q70

[@hobofactory]

Heck of a nice ride and a beautifully shot review. Granted I’m committed to my Land Cruiser but still this seems like an excellent option.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@adamsdailydriveway]

truck looks great, but Infiniti still stuck in the past with the old cluster and the same infotainment from a 08 g37 and qx56....if interior was updated I would consider trading my platinum escalade but for now I'm aiming toward the navigator black label

[@Noposwowskis]

i like the design on the outside with the black wheels and lights (except for the turn signal) but the infotainment is complete TRASH. I will never buy this car due to that, honestly, I'd rather get a Q7 for a 7 seater

[@LondonHasFallin]

Those steering wheel buttons look just like the ones on my $12,000 Nissan Sentra... You did say that truck was $80k+

[@CarConfections]

$92,000 actually

[@stevornrichards1380]

Sentra starts at $17k but I know what you mean

[@LondonHasFallin]

@@stevornrichards1380 I know.... That's why I said "my" ; mine is a couple years older.

[@2W3X4YZ5]

Very nice vehicle, and great review. Id like to see this vehicle get Nissan’s Cummins 5.0 litre diesel V8 as an option. I dont care for the rear turn signals in the bumper cover. I think they will get dirty and may be vulnerable to being easily broken by a kick from some miscreant. Also, big trucks and buses need the signals on 4 wheelers to be in a higher, more easily viewable position. They ought to put LED rear fog and reverse lights in the bumper location. The reverse light positions in the tail lights are perfect for a bright LED amber turn signal. We definitely need these high end vehicles to be 100% LED lit, inside and out. I like the music yall play.

[@tyrenm]

I love this car, beautiful outside and in. A little bit outdated interior, but overall a very nice car:) I wish Infinity would start selling cars in Norway, but I think our extremely high car taxes would make this very expensive:(

[@mybro727]

By the look of that interior and tech from 2009 the Cadillac Escalade has absolutely NOTHING to “watch out” for. The Japanese can borrow tech from GM like the rearview mirror camera all they want as they always do, but it won’t be enough to lure buyers from the Escalade family. This doesn’t exude the same level of class and luxury like the Cadillac Escalade does. The Caddy’s design is so ahead of its time, its aging so well it feels like it was just released. The Navigator was the closest thing to dethroning the Caddy but even that wasn’t quite enough. However, I would probably choose the Lincoln over this as well since it’s interior blows the one found in this QX80’ out of the park. It’s simply outdated and way too close to a Platinum Armada. I do love the exterior of this refresh on the QX80 but the Escalade is still the best looking truck in the segment and it’s not even close!!

[@kennethrosario6706]

Nice exterior but horrible interior come on Infiniti that screen looks like it belongs in 2005

[@chancenewsome6031]

I would rather have a Lincoln Navigator Black Label

[@turkishexpress]

I have that same infotainment system on my 2012 FX35. It's really disturbing that they have it on their flagship. I'm going to be in the market for a big SUV soon and I love the QXs but probably going to end up in a Lexus if they don't fix the entertainment system soon.

[@gptelevators1564]

Wow, I see this winning a comparison between this and all of the top trims of its rivals. My biggest pet peeve is that the rear turn signals are on the bottom which isn't very safe imo.

[@paulloffredo7188]

This SUV Is beautiful but the front dashboard should be leather and the information screen should be 12” especially for the fact that it cost almost 100,000$. Next year should have these options

[@Edward-jn6bp]

Why don’t they put the blind spot on the side mirrors which is where you look at to change lanes

[@robertwilliams5015]

Sorry but this has to be one of the ugliest full sized SUV's on the market. it's a shame too because Infiniti makes some beautiful cars. Put this next to an Escalade Platinum and it will disappear.

[@ericnguyen7061]

That uneven panel on the right front door is irritating the hell out of me

[@galil187]

Escalade Platinum have nothing to worry about ... Move along

[@Bmac2324]

2019 with a 2007 interior this is horrible!

[@David-n5q2v]

How/why does it have halogen license plate lamps

[@hellkitty1014]

The Patrol-roots of this Infiniti means that it has stout underpinnings and robust construction. However, the rest of the package is critically lacking. Sure, there is leather, wood, and suede, but the technology, design, switchgear, and yes, fuel/economy leave much to be desired, especially considering the fantastic Navigator Black Label can be had for the exact same money with a newer design, more power, more refinement, tech, etc. I do love the refreshed front end, and the seats have a great finish, but the total "luxury" package is critically lacking.

[@hertzair1186]

The Infiniti has an edge on reliability over the domestics

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

92000 dollar is nothing compared to other luxury suvs in its class actually it’s a bargain.

[@TreyH2253]

That dash and infotainment system looks so outdated. It makes me cringe when i hear the price for 2006 design.

[@shahrukhabbas7687]

The Lexus lx 570 and Infiniti QX80 are the king of all suvs,reliable,comfortable and goodlooking from the rest in the competition,and stands apart as unique.

[@Ben_05]

So the $90,000 QX80 has an interior thats from 2013 but the $50,000 QX50 has two 8 inch screens?

[@jadon6637]

I think it’s a good car but the turn signals on the back look like an afterthought in my opinion.

[@DanielTojcic]

Need some interior/tech updates, but it looks awesome. Can you do a review of the 2019 4Runner nightshade edition?

[@CarConfections]

When our dealer gets one we will!

[@dhowser2008]

Not much different than the Nissan Armada Platinum 2019.

[@forgiversb5901]

Everything was decent until I saw the interior . Nissan/infinity interiors are outdated but their cars are very reliable and driving awesome . I had a Nissan Sentra and it was very very reliable , I drove in half year like 20,000 miles without oil change nothing the car always cool and kept driving awesome and I also drove the infinity QX30 and I must say it’s an awesome car

[@domjr1392]

10 year old Nissan key fob, complete dashboard ripped right out of the Infiniti Q56 including the rear climate control, 8 inch screen, and to add insult to injury no panoramic sunroof, all in a $92,000 vehicle 🤔🤔🤔

[@clashfiends5948]

Beautiful truck for sure, but way past due for a full redesign. Infiniti is one of the slowest brands to refresh their models. They make great products but always fail to stay fresh and keep the buyers coming back. I worked for Infiniti for 12 years and it is always a fight after the 4th year with slim to no changes to a model.

[@ohrick8707]

Love the exterior. Nice luxury options, but dated interior electronics. This model drops in price by 50%, in a year. Buy a 2018, spend a couple of grand to fix all the electronic bells and whistles that are broken. 10 or 12 MPG, in my normal driving. It’s a Titan truck with a SUV, bolted on top. I loved the look of the Monogram version, Infiniti was showing as a concept. As I understand it, they are owned by Renault... it shows. A little more panache, than an Armada. Like Tahoe/Escalade, Ford/Lincoln. It’s your wallet/ego.

[@n0ahswrld]

incandescent rear turn signals? wow

[@andrewl3847]

The panel gap between the dash and the door in the wood is so bad

[@perezsykes3803]

Beautiful exterior, amazing seats, unique wood.... but the super dated infotainment display, center stack and gauge cluster is a deal breaker when compared to the competition. Infiniti has to bring out an all new model next year or just give up. With an all new Navigator on the market, as well as Mercedes GLS and BMW X7, oh and not to mention an all new Escalade due by 2021, this thing will become an after thought if something drastic doesn’t happen immediately

[@Jaymac720]

It’s not horrible but as it begins to approach $90k, I’d rather not be reminded that this is built by the same company that built the Juke. The wiper and lights stalks, the starter button, all the plastic buttons, only 10 ways of adjustment for the seat, the fact that the third row won’t fold unless you manually move the headrests down; it’s all just not befitting of such an expensive vehicle. I know I’ve been against it for a while, but the Navigator is the king of the segment for quality and features
