Is the 2025 Infiniti QX80 a BETTER full size luxury SUV than a Lincoln Navigator?

[@RaitisRides]

Oh wow! That is so really nice of you to say!

[@hieuluu2]

Took the wife's QX60 in for service last week and saw a 2025 QX80 "Demo" on display. Infinit really hit a home run with this modern slick 2025 QX80.

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you are digging it!

[@andyeighttre]

I agree, except that 407 inch long screen iPad dash is terrible. QX80/Armada buyers are like Landcruiser/LX/Sequioa buyers. They want reliability, durability, ease of use, and short turn times at the shop if it needs a repair. The tablet dashes will be hell if they have an issue.

[@lifeenglightment7977]

The price will dropped like Black Friday in a year of ownership.

[@3lite60]

I was looking for the rear entertainment. Beautiful vehicle no doubt. I'm gonna wait a few years for them to work the kinks out bc all new designs come with their fair share

Hey Joe, I think this Infiniti QX80 officially puts the Escalade on notice. My favorite design question would be those piano 🎹 black key designs in the lights. It's so great I think even the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, would be impressed. "Sing us a song, you're the piano man, sing us a song tonight." " Well, we're all in the mood for Infiniti, and this QX80's looking alright" 👌

[@RaitisRides]

You nailed it on this comment Chris!

[@haroldwilliams4018]

NAAAW!!!!!!!! Cadillac has a V8 AND it rides extremely well too!!!! They need a V8 if they want to run with Cadillac!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping a V8 model is in the near future. I was so pissed when Ford took away the V8 in their full size SUV!!!!

[@DP-eo5xd]

This is for people that can’t afford an Escalade. And don’t know how whack Nissan is yet

[@JJMJ6]

Gtfoh !!! $110k can get you in any Caddy without a V in its name. Then again, no new American car is worth that kind of coin. I say this as an American who has owned “dozens” of domestic and foreign cars over the years. Quality is no longer a priority to the Big 3. Just look in their service departments. . . They’re completely filled up with repairs and recalls. Quantity of sales is their main concern and it really shows.

[@hockeynutt9434]

Always thought Infiniti always looked dated on the interior. This QX80 is amazing. Stunning, Great review!

[@junwick9593]

Joe, This QX80 or Yukon Denali Ultimate?

[@motohead125]

I have a QX60 and love it. Been closely following the 80 redesign. Overall i like it. I feel maybe the wheels could be a little larger for the wheel wells? I dunno, something looks off. I wish the QX60 had a 450hp motor, it would be way more fun! Nice review btw, i watch all your stuff.

[@hertzair1186]

I have the Navigator with the auto-out running boards, and a 2020 QX80 with stationary running boards…. The auto out runn8ng boards are a pain in the sphincter in the winter as ice and snow jams them up…I just keep them out, though there is risk in hitting objects.

[@ivankorth4458]

So you mentioned two speed transfer case ? But I don’t think there’s a low 4x4 is there ? Also I had an infinite fx35 and hated the AWD because it was rear wheel bias and would spin out on corners on winter slippery roads , so is the WX80 AWD or 4x4 ? And if it’s AWD Is it rear wheel bias or 50/50 like a Lexus ?

[@unitedstates3068]

Great job, Infiniti .... The new QX80 is killing all of its competitors..Lexus LX & GX, Jeep W, L. Navigator, C. Escalade, BMW X7, Mercedes, etc. Plus, it's probably going to be more reliable than the American Brands and Germans, and it won't break you at the bank for innovative tech and features. $112, 000 is not bad compared to the Germans.

I didn't know Klipsch makes car audio. Very nice touch. The lack of exhaust tips out the back is a zonk for me. The stationary running board is fine but for the money it should be powered. The interior is top shelf although I wish they wouldn't use flat panel screens for instrument display. The pumped in sound is a zonk. I hope that some of these modern touches are just a weird phase in the automotive world. Still a beautiful SUV but way too expensive for my taste. I would be fine with the CX-90 over this.
