They knocked it out of the park with the exterior design and seat designs, but you take one look at the dash, gauges and steering wheel and then your just back in 2012.

[@Jeff-Vader_head_of_catering]

Thanks for doing this video. Personally I kind of thought the QX80 was ugly, but in an industry that's trying VERY hard to squash V8 and large liter engines from existence, I'm glad to see Nissan keeping this V8 beast alive.

[@EffDinero8]

Not true. This truck has had the same interior since 2011. It's just old. Stop making stuff up.

[@clarda1]

@@Tbland0930 I own a 2019 QX80. Also had a 2014 QX80. Do I want touch screens galore? Nope. I want buttons. I dont want to fumble around with a touch screen to change the climate control. This vehicle is super plush. It rides great and is super quiet. Hate to tell you, but you are wrong. This is exactly the vehicle I want. Sure, you can buy an Escalade with more screens. It also rides like a silverado 1500 and has the build quality of one also.

[@MzRonJ79]

True for me. I don't need all the glitz and glamor. Plus it's less stuff to breakdown. Infotainment system is indeed old, but it doesn't breakdown and that's what's important to me.

I love many thing about it. I guess if many honest reviewers emphasise it’s downsides, Nissan might do something about the resolution of its cameras, the infotation system, it’s dashboard, and fuel economy. Hopefully by 2020 or 2021 if they do something about these, and keep the rest of it’s shape and luxury materials and powerful engine on, it will be the serious dream car to any beast SUV lover!

[@arturmirzoyan4744]

Nice truck and one of only few that has IRS for such a large beast.

[@michaeljjensen]

A lot of the stuff you point out is just tacked on to be competitive. Like the puddle light, which should probably be somewhere that cant get so dirty that it doesn't shine on the puddle. The dash and center console have been cleaned up, but not updated in years.

[@garyblatt8925]

The QX 80 is proof that you can build a truck based on focus groups and market research that has all the right bits and bobs to be the top of the class, but if you execute all those top tier features in a package that resembles the truck/SUV equivalent of the "The Last Jedi", then all you have is a hot mess of poorly executed features that should truly make this truck class leading. Nissan is just on the cusp of a major breakthrough with their full size trucks, SUVs, and vans, but they have not put that package together in a way to take on Ram, Ford, and GM. If Nissan wants something better than a participation trophy, it is not going to take much work, but it is going to be hard work.

[@cutedesi703]

I have owned 2 qx56 which they simply changed the name to qx80 but nothing else changed. He should mention the full sized spare is a 20inch even if you have the 22inch wheels on the car. Which is annoying because you can't simply put the spare and keep using or rotate all 5 tires

If Infiniti had a face, I’d punch it!! Update the infotainment center, gauge cluster and reverse camera. I saw this when I turned in my leased 2015 Q50 a couple of months ago.

If they gave it a Straight 6 with hybrid combo I think it’s mpg would make it a sweet alternative to consider without compromising too much of its suv utility. It’s a beast so it needs to be put on a diet but it can still look beefy and sexy. Lastly, why cant they add a half door behind the rear door like in the Frontier king cab for easier ingress and exit?
