All-New 2025 Infiniti QX80 first look // Look out Cadillac and Lincoln!

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2025 Infiniti QX80 full-size luxury SUV. The exterior of this body-on-frame SUV is commanding, it has quite an imposing shape to it, it’s bold and confident looking. Infiniti hopes to take a chunk out of Cadillac and Lincoln sales with this new model.
Infiniti has moved to a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, gone is the V8. It has an extra 50 horsepower and 102 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing V8. It now has 450 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD in Canada. In the US, RWD and AWD options are available. The QX80 can tow up to 8500 pounds.
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 has a new electronic air suspension and dynamic digital suspension technologies. The air suspension can lower the vehicle by nearly 2.8” when parked. While driving, the electronic air suspension lowers by 2.1” to reduce drag and improve efficiency at high speeds.
To give 2025 Infiniti QX80 owners a more luxurious experience, Infiniti is using an available Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system for the first time. It boasts 1,200 watts of power and features 24 speakers that are integrated into the interior. It sounds awesome!
The interior of the 2025 Infiniti QX80 is beautiful with high quality materials being used. Dual 14.3” screens are standard, the touchscreen has Google-built in which is a first for Infiniti. You also get standard wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto
In Canada, MSRP for the 2025 Infiniti QX80 starts at $104,995 CAD, Sensory $113,995 CAD and Autograph $124,995 CAD. In the US add $3,100 USD for AWD on the Pure and Luxe models. Pure $82,450 USD, Luxe $89,550 USD, Sensory AWD $100,645 USD and Autograph AWD $110,595 USD.

Thank you so much, it was absolutely insane at this display at all times of the day.

Good to see the booth was busy. Infiniti needs an injection of life and it seems the QX80 is doing its job. The interior is amazing and they’re getting back to innovating. Can’t wait to experience it in person.

Infiniti has certainly sprinkled their magic into this quite imposing full size SUV. It definitely has presence. I’m impressed with their much needed design changes… both inside and out. I wish the new Lincoln Navigator would have spent as much effort (money?) onto/into their redesign. Well done Nissan…or rather Infiniti. Thanks for the video.

[@ghassanabumutier3350]

Marvelous ❤

[@springertube]

Great overview guys! Looks like a perfect lottery car! Looking at the Press Kit, like the similar trim levels on the QX60, the sweet spot would appear to be the next to top of the line Sensory, getting most of the top Autograph trim goodies while substituting the second row bench. I'd swap out the 22s for the base Pure model's 20-inchers for a better all-round set up. One of my few nits - just give us traditional exterior door handles, please...none of this pop-out nonsense. I know this looks sleek and all but.... another item for Zack's "answer to the question that no one asked" list! IIRC, Porsche already seems to have (effectively) realized their miss with the 992.1 911 by retaining traditional handles on the new Panamera.

[@davewilson7602]

I’m gonna guess if the car gets iced over you can’t go anywhere with those, then again whoever buys this probably garages it so that’s a problem for the next owners 😂

When you road test this car you have to include some night driving. Can't imagine what a distraction all those screens lit up would be when driving in the dark. BTW: excellent concentration by you both amidst the chaos of other journalists constantly in the frame.

It almost looks Range Roveresque from some angles, especially that side profile. Maybe Nissan is finally stepping up to the plate. I really like the split screen for controls, it usually eliminates much of the multi level menu nightmare that single screen solutions often become. Pricey though, gotta say that too.

[@Novilicious]

Even now, no one other than the Americans offer an extended or long wheel version with more space after the third row. If only the QX80 did that 😮, it would be the KING 👑

As an QX80 owner, cool options and design and requires to replace that 3.5 V6 TT with 4.5 V8 TT or a tuned 5.6 V8

[@2seep]

The vr35ddtt is more than capable. The vr30ddtt can get 750 wheel horsepower on stock internals. It’s the little brother to the GTR, and with a massive aftermarket the vr38dett in the GTR has gone up to 3500 wheel horsepower. Almost no v8 has reached that on gasoline

[@mbrbb77]

@@2seep usually Japanese manufacturers focuses on 6 cylinders and nissan can tune its 4.5 V8 to get higher output and cool exhaust sounds

[@nicholassmith7048]

I like the design and it's a better package but the lack of hard buttons with everything done through a screen or capacitive touch buttons is a serious step backwards and most likely a dealbreaker. They're fine to use when stationary at an auto show or in a dealership but dangerously unsafe when actually driving.

[@brooksr4013]

Now just work on the Q50 as nice as it is it needs a change. I had one traded in for the BMW 330.

I think Lexus will up grade the GX interior down the road, since some people seem to be defaulting to the Grand Highlander.

[@SpeedYellow]

Have you ever owned a Lexus? An interior full of fingerprints on the center console is not high end luxury 5:56 🤮

[@faheemabbas3965]

I mean, it’s not better than the LX, but it’s absolutely equal to the LX imo. I’m surprised Nissan even made the 2025 Infiniti QX80 look as good as it does considering they’re so broke now they can’t make the R36 GTR.

[@krishnapersaud6029]

How come is doesnt have a rear entertainment system? How come it doesnt have soft close doors? How come it doesnt have rear and side window curtains? Cadillac Escalade has it. Lincoln Navivator has it. Jeep Grand Wagonner has it. Mercedes Benz GL has it. So why not Infiniti QX80? 🤷‍♂️

[@yaroslavgorislabe3551]

Definitly better interior than Range Rover layout and if they add bigger wheels it will be the better exterior.

[@artistnyc123]

Does it have better seats suited to Andrea?

[@andreaspencer9813]

Seats are super comfortable, they cradled my body, my kind of seats.

[@H2SO4H20]

The running joke about the QX80 one of my brother-in-laws had (he was provided a new company vehicle each year) was "What's going to fall off next?". He hated it with a passion and ended the lease early. My personal experience with the Infiniti brand has been mixed. I quite liked the M35 sedan I had for a couple of weeks on a fly/drive vacation back in the 2000's but the Q50 sedan I rented recently was just plain awful - cramped, poor riding, poor handling, touchy throttle. Was I ever glad to turn that turkey in. The Q56 sedans of old were far better even though their interior quality was mixed with some components looking like they belonged in a bottom end economy car. Maybe it's been the Renault influence. Perhaps the next Infinity should be named "Infiniti Dauphine"!

[@faheemabbas3965]

The alliance messed up Nissan real bad, but Nissan seems to be making a tiny bit of a comeback with the money they have now. They lost a lot of money over the past decade… Hopefully Nissan can separate themselves and Infiniti apart from each other in terms of components.

[@ka1133]

So will those doorhandles pop out on a cold winter day in southern Ontario after a snowstorm and an ice storm that has completely covered the handles? This idea of these flush doorhandles is absolutely ridiculous in this kind of weather in Canada. With that third row up, there is no storage room. It’s ridiculous to think you would carry eight passengers and take them to the airport and try to get luggage in there. Totally unrealistic. I think Nissan better go back to the drawing board. Better yet maybe they should be getting out of the car business. The interior is nice however.

[@bigd7386]

This is the case with all 3-row SUVs except the extended American large SUVs. None of them will truly fit the amount of luggage for the amount of people they can seat. That’s a feat even with more space efficient minivans. Learned this on several trips with large groups in the last year.

Unfortunately I had terrible experiences with Nissan products, I bought a Muranonin 2015 that had nothing but issues, then in 2017 made the mistake to trade it in for a Titan which was even worst, lots of engine issues, Nissan is no longer a quality brand, in my opinion off course

I still don't understand why they use those door handles. It's putting "fancy" stuff on a vehicle that no one is asking for. They aren't even that great of an idea. Before anyone says it's for aerodynamics, it's not. While there may be a little less drag in a wind tunnel test by having the flush handles, the mirrors create much more drag than regular handles do. As well, putting massive 22" wheels on this penalizes efficiency 100 fold over any minute amount the flush handles gain. It's nothing more that a styling exercise because a few others have done it. Stop it please. Make quality (luxury) vehicles, that have a really comfortable ride, have functional useable features and are competitively priced that people can actually afford to buy. Flush door handles, stupidly huge wheels and goofy steering wheels (yokes) are solutions to a problem we never had, and now these are the problems. Enough is enough.

Is it a New York thing or stereotypical boorish Americans? I am willing to bet that if you were at a Canadian auto show, people would respect your space and leave you alone for ten minutes or so.
