Is the NEW 2022 Infiniti QX80 the KING of full size luxury SUVs?

The NEW updated QX80 is here and Infiniti wants to close the gap on the competition for 2022. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 that is pumping out 400HP & is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find a unique grill, 22in wheels, and special paint. On the inside are where the MAJOR changes are with an all new infotainment system, seating materials, and finishes. Is the NEW 2022 Infiniti QX80 the KING of full size luxury SUVs?

When I first seen this body style of the QX 80 back in 2011, I was like blown away with the design, and was thinking, this design is a Masterpiece, and today in 2022, it's still a Masterpiece thats tough to beat in looks, and style. Thanks Nissan/Infiniti for keeping their powerful V8 in this SUV.

[@mfears4414]

I truly hope Infiniti can get through the issues they’re having with the outdated vehicles and lack of redesigns. The QX60 is beautiful and I hope it sells decently because I believe this brand can really turn things around in a short time with more updated designs and technology. Fingers crossed and great review by the way 👍🏽🙅🏽‍♂️.

[@mfears4414]

@@Reesemaxx23 I agree 👍🏽, the QX80 along with much of the Infiniti lineup need serious redesigns. QX60 is promising but they’ll need more than that 🤦🏽‍♂️. I’m optimistic that they can survive if they stop making concepts and actually produce cars that get people excited.

Agreed. It gets a lot of hate because of how old it is. But honestly with all the minor refreshes it has gotten it looks amazing still. I think it looks better than most newer gen SUVs in its class. Looking forward to what the next gen will look like. My only complaint is the interior, although it still looks good especially with the new infotainment. They need to completely re-haul it and bring a more modern/futuristic look to it.

[@Oc3anMaster]

5.8sec 0-60mph is gnarly for an SUV that is that heavy and big. I've always loved the look of the Nissan and Infinite full sized SUV's...the Armada and the QX80 are like those other alternatives to the much harder to acquire Toyota Landcruiser and the Lexus LX SUV's. The weird issue is that with how expensive these cars are, while they refreshed the interior a bit, they still barely touched the GUI of the infotainment system. It pales incomparison to the Palisade and Santa Fe in terms of usability. The Nissan Pathfinder also falls from grace a bit with a much older and slower interfaces, but the full digital dash is so pleasant in the Pathfinder, but so odd not to see in the Armada or QX.
