[@hellkitty1014]

I'm no Nissan/Infiniti fanboy, but haters are gonna hate. Not only is this thing a massive quantum leap over its predecessor(except tossing the V8), it is absolutely more superior than the half-baked cross-country rival, LX600. Yes, the Infiniti is more complete than the Lexus, which already seems dated and is $25K more expensive on the top end for less product. That said, I think Infiniti should've topped this thing out at $95-$100K. Once you cross $110K plus, the Escalade will always win in that price range. But overall, the interior is a knockout, and hell YES to colors other than tan and black. The packaging is excellent for comfort and cargo and has up-to-date tech. I think these will be everywhere just like the current model, as Infiniti typically has favorable lease deals.

[@michaelg919]

I agree. There are haters on every car review I see no matter the manufacturer. Most of the time it’s just trolls that are riding around in mommy’s 98 Grand Caravan. At the end of the day these will sell because people will buy them no matter what. I never once seen anyone go into a dealership showroom and pull out their phone and reading through negative KZbin comments to decide whether or not they will buy a specific car. At the end of the day you buy what you want.

[@bigd7386]

@@michaelg919 I agree there’s haters for every manufacturer, but Nissan/Infiniti is coming off of a rough patch and people just won’t let them live it down. They’re finally taking steps to do everything people have been saying they should do but now people complain because it costs too much, among other nit-picky things. It amazes me that people are shocked that a 3-row luxury SUV costs over $100k in 2024, as if we don’t have $100k+ F-Series, Silverados, GMCs, etc running all over these streets. Then You have people that are still claiming Infiniti is going to die as a brand despite them starting a whole product blitz. That’s FOR SURE a sign of a dying brand. All that to say 😂 this is a SOLID entry in this class and I think it’s going to do well. People do not realize how many of the last gen they sold and that owners have been waiting for an all new gen.

[@MercOne]

The only reason it's such a massive leap is because the old was an antique and still on sale well past it's expiry date. Just like the Lexus LX600, this Q80 merely or barely (LX) catches up to the class. It doesn't surpass the competition in any way. I agree totally about the Lexus.

[@Quinton0520]

All Infiniti has to do now is to redesign the QX50/55 and Q50 and they will be back in business! they need to ditch those CVTs.

[@bigd7386]

Unfortunately, the Q50 is dead as of this year. No new sedan until the EV sedan debuts. But they could inject some life into the QX50 by giving it an extensive refresh (freshen up the exterior and switch it to the new Google based infotainment inside) and switching it to the 9-spd.

[@Demoxx1]

The Q50 will become the Qe which is just another electric sedan that will pile up on dealer lots cause it isn't a tesla. As for the QX50/55 they probably will do the same despite the bad sales they will receive from the Qe. These companies need to learn that if you are not as good at making evs as tesla you wont sell them at all.

[@Demoxx1]

@@bigd7386 It would be very beneficial to have the ZF9's speed instead of a CVT, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Nissan/Infiniti built the VC-Turbo engine specifically to work with the CVT. So, unless they're willing to invest a significant amount of money to pair and pair it with a different transmission, which they likely don't have due to low sales, it's not going to happen. Love it or hate it, the CVT is here to stay.

[@bigd7386]

@@Demoxx1 I thought that was the case as well, but the QX60 in China has the VC-Turbo paired with the same 9-speed we get with in the US spec QX60 with the VQ35. I just think they don't think it's worth the investment to make the change in the QX50 until a new generation debuts.

[@GT3.00]

Nissan/Infinity is gonna kill it with this model. Most people have no idea how incredible the QX80/Patrol (Armada) line really is, because you get the watered down version than the rest of the world. This is not the case anymore. They are the GOAT when it comes to durabilty and actual off-roading capabilities. The new Infinity QX80 looks to be incredible. Much better than the LX600. Engine same family as the GT-R engine (from their own words) which is bombproof but with 15 years of technological advancement. I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two to improve it even further. The transmission is also the 9-speed from the G-wagon but slightly reworked by JATCO who are licensed to do so by Mercedes. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more durable seeing as the Patrol/QX80 is their halo model.

[@nicolasmikah4168]

This is way ahead of the LX600 in regards to interior design, materials and tech and it’s coming from a Lexus fan :)

[@AJ-bh7vm]

Best looking full-size SUV in my opinion. However, I'm tried of seeing the same exact color of this vehicles all the time for the past months. The only time I can remember a car company providing only one color for months and nothing else.

[@CarConfections]

It is a bit odd and we're not big fans of this color... But they do have a build and price on their website now to see the other color choices

[@bigd7386]

The only other color combo I’ve seen is a black on tan version on Instagram that some dealers have posted. It’s a Sensory so it also shows what the other wheels look like. But yea, I think they’re taking the whole launch hero color too far. Would have loved to see it in different colors.

[@AJ-bh7vm]

​@@CarConfections Definitely odd and that's Infiniti in a nutshell. However, I don't mind the color, but they should be able to provide auto journalist different colors after months of the initial debut..looking at pictures they might have on their website and watching videos of the vehicle in different colors are not the same. Infiniti makes amazing vehicles, but they always struggle with marketing or doing questionable things like putting the rear signal lights of the current QX80 on the bumper etc. Often doing stuff that are irritating.

[@KingTee-nu8on]

Their marketing and decision makers have always been an issue, they just don't get it.

No such thing as a Escalade killer. It sets the bar and is in my opinion a lot better looking than this.

[@henrichandrew]

The design is very masculine and bold. The rear long light lamp is kindly not for everyone's taste and it definitely stand out in the crowd. Was I the only one see the dashboard and door leather trims and stitches similar to the Lexus? Also don't know why another thing they keep up with Lexus is remove the Infiniti logo / emblem on the rear trunk door. I suppose that is the trend for now days? Or They both done it for more cost efficiency for cutting unnecessity item like their own brand emblem or logo?

[@Target135]

I understand that you have a chosen structure to the video… but I REALLY wish you’d just say the “as tested” price and HP/torque within the first few minutes of the video. Pretty annoying that both of those were near the very end. You need context to enjoy and understand the rest of the video. How much I have to pay helps me calibrate what features I’m expecting at that price.

[@CarConfections]

[@nspokey]

[@tripple990]

The elbow complaints are a little bit too much nitpicking. And with 450 hp, gas mileage isn't bad either. Especially if the torque is 516. Wow. What did you expect!?!! This is the new King here. However, the old one looks better. In my humble opinion. Out, standing, vehicle. They stepped up big time.

[@carmas54]

Why high test fuel? And when will we be able to see lower trim models other than the autograph

[@AB-coyote]

Escalade doesn’t have anything that other luxury makes don’t have. What the Escalade does have is transmissions that barely make it past 100k as well as DOD issues. If you like having collapsed lifters as well as flattened cam lobes then get the Escalade. You won’t find those issues here.

I feel like with all of those lights they could’ve done some type of animation or something fancier than they did especially at the same price of an Escalade Sport Platinum, this is actually about $4,000 more expensive.

[@bigd7386]

I don't know if that's something that can be considered cheap. Its more programming than anything. 300 LEDs ain't cheap. And despite what he said here, I think there is an approach/departure animation. And a Sport Platinum is $116k.
