I like how you guys were able to and do almost a full review on the launched model that wasn’t at an autoshow. Now thats a flex 😎.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! We were very happy about that too. Our friends at Infiniti of Lexington were nice enough to give us a heads up

Ohh yeah, Infinity is almost back! Now time to update that ageing Q50 and QX50!!!

*Aging*

I actually see lots of the outgoing Escalade in this redesigned QX80. The front end is a play on the Escalade’s design and even the side profile sorta gives me “we’ve been studying the Cadillac”. The interior is more obviously inspired by the Cadillac Escalade mainly the front row. Since the Escalade everyone is putting large speakers in their seats and roof-liners. Cadillac is paying attention I’m sure. The new 2025 Cadillac will be a real sight!

this car is a BEAST

[@Desertbiker617]

Fat beast

[@bigd7386]

Awesome job getting this reviewed out in natural light and this also helps establish scale which is so hard to capture in videos from the showroom. Also like how the older QX80s were in the background helping to show just how much more modern this is. I got to see one at the dealer also and I agree, in person it has amazing presence. I also grew a better appreciation of the rear end and taillights, which look much better in person and have a more smoked appearance. The interior is beautiful and the materials are top notch. I know the touchscreen climate controls tends to be a turn off, but they seemed really responsive here and the haptic sound seems satisfying. I also love how you can choose which screen you're controlling on the steering wheel and how they have the scroll wheel angled to match the natural position of the thumb. I was a little worried it was cramped in the 2nd row, but I think they had it moved all the way up and the car was off so I couldn't move it back. Overall I say bravo Infiniti.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you!

[@nickabbatiello828]

Incredible video of the all new Infiniti QX80!! Great job guys!!

[@AhmadHassan-ut9zn]

Yes we want this beast with aftermarket performance parts in it from infiniti performance

[@bradleyscarreviews]

Wow that carpet and rear massaging seats 🧐

[@Ryan2022]

This is good news. The full-size SUV segment doesn’t have that many entries so competition is welcome. Competition is what makes cars better not EPA regulations. It’s great to have these video reviews up, but even if you can’t afford this car or are not interested the fact that is that you have to see and feel a car in person to make a final judgment if the videos and the design interest you from the beginning. I can’t afford this car, but I’ll be interested in seeing the redesigned armada in person whenever it happens.

[@jatinanand1910]

Infiniti was not playing when it came to this SUV that's called taking your SUV game to the next level

[@austingarrett1152]

I seen this at the gas station other day in white. Super 🔥.

[@coltonmarshburn1828]

Honestly, the Lexus LX is not quite big enough to properly compete with the QX-80

[@christopherstreet2214]

I wish Lexus would just make the LX a 2 row ultra premium suv then make a proper Lexus version of the sequoia

[@coltonmarshburn1828]

@@christopherstreet2214 I agree, the current LX is not ideal for North American markets since most people in North America spending $90K+ on an SUV would want more space and comfort

[@WayApp]

Simply elegant

[@Cleaning_Hero]

The one thing I hated about the outgoing Armada / QX80 was the driver seating & steering wheel ergonomics. I like to rest my elbow on the center console lid while holding the steering wheel. I couldn't do that in the outgoing design. I also like to pull the steering wheel out towards me so I don't have to reach every time I need to make a turn. On the outgoing model, even with the steering wheel pulled all the way out and the pedals adjusted all the way in, the wheel felt to far away. It also felt to small in diameter. The seat felt like it was up to high, even when adjusted as low as it would go. I hope Nissan addressed these issues. It looks like the second and third rows are a lot roomier, though. The center console and arm rest areas look raised and pulled forward. That is another good sign. I hope they've addressed all of these issues and that they will be the same in the Armada.

[@Aaron.Crow512]

That's how I feel in my 2020 Camry in my '08 accord coupe I could always get the right position.. I feel like it's due to the overheating of platforms through model lineups. Like my 2019 Ford Flex I could get supppper comfy but in a friend Taurus it was quite contrary because I felt I couldn't get low enough. It's so annoying. Same with my 2018 Alfa when I had it I felt the seat was positioned just way too high and that irked the hell out of me.

[@vindevhunta4905]

This is a good looking family hauler .. It's not an EV so I'd love to see real exposed exhaust tips.. Miss the v8 😢

[@RealKevGotEm]

Wow this is extremly nice for an Infiniti. This is something that would bring me to buy

[@EffahAmoako]

I'll buy one, I heard this will have 450hp and I can't wait to get my hands on it to feel how fast it'll be on offroad

[@YourAverageCarFan]

I did not expect it to be released this quickly lol Time to trade in my 2021 X7 maybe

It’s going to be on sale this Summer. There may be some early test drives happening at some dealerships I think. I could be wrong about that though.

Great review of an elegant Infiniti. Your reviews are excellent! Keep up the good work!

[@CarConfections]

Much appreciated!

[@josephpayton9151]

I love how its almost concept car like with its design. It looks so elegant and distinctive than a lot of the competition. That interior is definitely raising the bar for this segment. They outdid Cadillac this time, at least for now until the new refreshed ‘25 is unveiled. Its definitely right up there with the current Range Rover which is significantly more expensive than this. If this is so good, im very excited to see what the armada offers.

[@AnontheGOAT]

It’s already been unveiled unofficially. All the leaked photos are on GM Authorities website.

[@Tampa0123456789]

I wasn't impressed until I saw that 3rd row ❤. Thats mini van levels space back there. This will definitely be the best in class . I never understood what was so difficult about 3rd rows. Just take a little space from the back. If people need space just put down the row.

Nothing to do with this car, but I had an 08 M35 for 13 years, and it was the best car I’ve ever owned. I would still be driving it, if I didn’t need an SUV.

Yea, I think there are a few moving around the country. I got the chance to see one at the dealer closest to me. I also saw a short of it being delivered to someones house, so there's demos running around if you're right area.

[@eriksotelo3]

Most cars can’t reach the top of their speedometers due to speed governors. So this has never really been an issue.

[@MrStevenAttila]

@@eriksotelo3 Maybe, but many cars had a speed limit of 250 km/h, but this is not an issue, if you can drive with like 140-150 km/h is not bad either( unless you live in Germany where there is no limit in many places).

Why is the belt-line along the window greenhouse profile not aligned between the driver front door and the rear driver side door? That is a noticeable difference, hopefully not a major engineering miscalculation!!

[@rashid138888]

Is there a different interior color ? Or it’s only one ?

[@rmcfadde1]

Now that's an upgrade.

[@ManoloTakamoto]

Supposedly, Mitsubishi will base the next version of the Montero off of the QX80. This makes sense since Nissan and Mitsubishi are in an alliance with each other. I would love to see a new version of the Montero because it was pulled out of the US market after 2006 with the last of the 3rd gen models. I myself have a 2001 SR Montero with 213k on the odometer and I love how durable and fun to drive it is. It might even be a nice alternative to all the other full size SUVs with full size sticker prices😅
