All-New 2025 Infiniti QX80 review // This or Cadillac and Lincoln?

[@captainmorgan7386]

Looking good, finally Infinity back in the game. Thank you Motormouth.

[@trevorssillyplace]

Not sure why they would make it significantly smaller than the Tahoe Yukon Escalade expedition navigator. Not even close to the xl suburban size. Otherwise I’d have one tommoro until than I’ll be stuck with transmissions made out of glass and frame rust within a year

[@stevecastro22]

You guys drove right by my home on Silverado Trail. Had I known that you would have been in the Valley we would have had you over for a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. I Love Motormouth and your knowledge on cars

[@hs1296]

I wouldn't mind it looking like a Range Rover - it sure won't be unreliable like one! Awesome review as always, you guys!

Best 100k SUV on the market. Just the looks alone screams "I Arrived"

[@billurban1581]

Yep, it’s all about status, most of these will probably have more than two people in it about five times, and never tow anything.

[@rosstudisco8650]

Yeah but at that price point, I’m going X7 or Caddy

[@alexk3352]

100k for an Infiniti though?

[@passionnotparked9099]

X7 and Caddy if you want huge depreciation and unreliability. From a QX80 owner, I have never needed anything more.

[@verity388]

Andrea, your facial expressions at the beginning when you stepped on it sold this for me. You just loved it and it shows!

Nissan is not going down without a fight and that’s good.

[@TheLumberJacked]

Where was this fight 10 years ago 🤷🏻‍♂️ They put themselves on a steady diet of CVT’s and have taken an absolute crap kicking in the market. Their sales are down massively, so I’m surprised to see them launch a 124,000Cdn SUV. It’s mind boggling.

[@TheLumberJacked]

Oh and it’s beautiful, no question. But that price. This feels like BMW money for a 20 year old (though heavily modified) platform.

[@timothyburnside3229]

The real competition for this is Lexus and finally Infinity nailed it! Cadillac Buyers will not consider Japanese vehicles, but Infinity has better quality than Lincoln and is now on par with Lexus and that says a lot! Now having said all that anything close to $100,000 puts me in either a Range Rover or a Cadillac! Great show as always!

[@S_Paoli]

I love everything about this new QX80..... except the way the rear end looks. :( I tried really hard and just couldn't bring myself to love the rear end.

[@HorseMaster23]

100000% agreed... when I was at the Dealership and saw it for the first time, I was like "wow, this is sick, nice, I like, oh, yes...." until I walked to the rear side.... at that time I was like "ooohhh.... hmmm, I dunno about that :( "

[@S_Paoli]

@@HorseMaster23 I must have encountered a funny Infiniti salesperson. He said "you are mistaken... Infiniti engineers spent a long time to design that new rear... yes, it's unattractive, but for a reason... it will repel drivers behind you and force them to back off as far as possible... that's a safety feature!"

[@johnlutz9275]

I love this car built awesomely

[@angrypenguin956]

Another great review!

[@seymorefact4333]

I love it and i'm a LX600F fan!

[@lryoung17]

I think Infiniti would be fine if they did another facelift on the QX50/55 with a similar interior to the current QX60 & update the QX60 with these new screens. I also wouldn't be mad if they brought a new Q60 coupe based on the Z! This Interior is hands down better than what Acura & Lexus has been doing.

[@chudson4500]

Great job infiniti! Personally I'd still take the Escalade but this was a much needed update

[@ColJonSquall1]

I love everything about this new QX80, except the push button shifter, its like they saw what Ford was doing with the Lincoln and said "Let's just copy them." when they could have gone with a normal shifter, or at least a dial. That would have been preferable over a push button.

[@Howard24]

Enterprise gave me a previous gen while I was in Toronto a few weeks ago and honestly it was great! It doesn't feel as big as it looks behind the wheel and is quite manageable. Super comfy but you definitely do feel the weight. It doesn't soak up the bumps as well as other unibody SUVs but that's expected. I drove it to Niagara Falls and it was a pleasant road trip vehicle!

[@daviotkelly1267]

The exterior is growing on me. Nice big ride for sure but there's something about that Escalade. If I had to buy one or the other, Cadillac

[@robertfarrington5156]

Nice improvement, but resale value will tank just like the rest of the Infiniti line.

[@nicholassmith7048]

The token physical volume knob is insulting. Where are the rest of the physical buttons? I don't want a distracting screen to control the HVAC nor capacitive touch buttons on the steering wheel. I want controls I can safely use by feel.

[@kittmarie8285]

oh so close to me! Well, not next door - San Jose. Have a great time in beautiful Napa. Hope it's not too hot; no rain though.

[@kellingtonlink956]

First and foremost, I like it. Infiniti’s iconic big SUV definitely needed an update. In my opinion, it was never much of a looker - with it’s design language making it look a bit… frumpy, a bit… glumpy and a bit… overweight. A diet was imminently needed. This new generation looks brilliant, both inside and out. Refreshingly more balanced and aggressive. Downside? I expect that it will prematurely look dated and it doesn’t really share Infiniti’s Design philosophy… “Japanese concept of ma: designs that have a sense of minimalism, enriched with intricate elements that deliver warmth, stir emotions and forge a human connection.” Especially with the use of the word ‘minimalism’. I still like it, but… it would never replace a the mighty Range Rover, ever. ‘The best 4x4xFar’. Thanks for the video.

[@antoniom4016]

Beautiful vehicle indeed. Growing up where I came from, it was always a Japanese vehicle. Toyota, Honda & Nissan. This Q80 body style should be on a Lexus. Great job by Nissan 👌🏾👍🏾

[@10OF9OFBORG]

[@judih.8754]

[@davidalenick1246]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the main reason for the downsizing of engines was actually for emissions more than fuel economy. That’s what Toyota told us in training (I’m been in Toyota sales for 19+ years).

[@telliesmith9825]

Finally infinity have something to talk about looks good inside and out

[@performingspecs7841]

Great review. I like that you gave an honest opinion on the ride quality and gave a good comparison of the other bands’ ride quality. My wife and I are considering this vehicle or one of the 2024 GM brands. I feel that these give somewhat of a better value for the money, especially the Infiniti. What would your pick be between this and the Escalade sport? Thanks.

[@hakunamatata6464]

That was a good, clean, to the point review.

[@OhNoMrBill-yg3dy]

[@jonclassical2024]

You guys should get some sun..... Zach! So the big deal to me is Klipsch....BRAVO....an American Speaker Company. Gotta have those "swamp coolers" in the seats down here in The Carolina's !

[@CK-1000]

Good effort by Infiniti. But for some reason, the interior already looks outdated (to me). Im referring to the seats more than anything else, but I do also think the tech UI could be a little better. Maybe my opinion would be different if I saw it in something other than maroon/red.

[@jmsmikey]

I'll wait for the Nissan Armada version of this with that amazing engine & not all the fufu bs

[@axx8326]

Looks pretty good for a 20yrs old model.Still think If they refined a bit the exterior and got rid of all those lumps would have looked much nicer. A bit of a niche vehicle considering it's out of many people's reach and whoever has that kind of $$ will probably look elsewhere considering Infiniti/Nissan's reputation.Very likely Lexus or maybe downsizing to an MDX/X7. I mean it has everything but the kitchen sink but don't think it would be enough to save Nissan/Infiniti from the hole they dug themselves into.

[@stevensingleton7866]

They are still selling the current generation of this vehicle really well, I don’t think this will be a problem as far as sales.

[@katietatey]

Dang that bad boy is $$$$! I did not realize how pricey the vehicles in that class are.

[@dougrandall2370]

Looks great seems like a really nice vehicle. Too bad. The dealership chain is so bad one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with. I have a 2018 Q 50 S and my experience was so bad that I would never buy another infinity because I had to deal with their dealership chain.

[@Jose_cab]

They got the price down right in Canada because when you convert it it comes out to around 90K USD which is what it should have been here in the US for the top trim

[@TheLumberJacked]

The trim they are driving lists for 124k Canadian. HELL NO. Infinity has been asleep for a decade, they don’t just get to pop back on the scene and be like, “CHA-CHING”. They have squandered their luxury reputation. So frankly, it’s extremely hard to ask for BIG BMW money for a modified 20 year old platform. It is beautiful, no question, but man that’s too much. And they have like 20 versions of it, there is no al’la’carte optioning.

[@mkyhou1160]

Yeah - it looks great but the price makes no sense. You can get an F150 Lariat for 70k (with incentives), which will have most of the useful features in this (aside from third row but a bed is super handy). Better fuel economy too with the higher technology aluminum body. It’s about 35k overpriced for what it is.

[@ksich8142]

Your actually quite wrong , Infiniti is still a well known prestigious brand. Many people don’t want a “BMW” for the fact that they don’t luxury is a status symbol, it’s a feeling. A feeling which only certain vehicles can offer and the new QX80 is extremely luxurious. It has everything everyone could ask for and some. You have to remember, many people don’t like German reliability and poor build quality . MANY Infiniti consumers have been waiting for Infiniti to resurrect their brand and be a major contender in the market. When the G35 and then the 2nd generation g35/G37 came out it was a bombshell on the auto market. No other European brand compared in just about every aspect for a fraction of the cost. Infiniti will never have the volume of BMW, but that’s what makes it unique. Mercedes and BMWs are so generic many buy it simply to put others under a false narrative or impression . This will do well. Also $120,000 now days ain’t that much money buddy. A pickup truck can cost $80-$130,000 . The old previous QX80 was very outdated and still sold well and generating the most profit for Infiniti . They needed something that was exclusive and unique to bring back the brands imagine. If I were to win millions of dollars, thus vehicle will me on my priority list of ones to get

[@ksich8142]

@@mkyhou1160lmao you just compared an American made F150 pickup to an Infiniti. That’s cute

[@mkyhou1160]

@@ksich8142 I have owned both over the years. So, yes. You could almost get two Expeditions for the price of this Infiniti, the pricing is silly.

[@mkyhou1160]

@@ksich8142 Infiniti is to Nissan what Lincoln is to Ford. Both are collapsing brands where the top end of the base brand is often as good as the premium (eg an Expedition platinum is as good as a Navigator). Infiniti had a brief period of acclaim and success with the G35 (which was built on Skyline underpinnings, which could compete with the 3 series). It’s not relevant today, sales are way down and this pricing isn’t going to help. Lots of pointless gadgets that will break (like the heat sensor), anyone would be a fool to rake this over a Lexus in terms of depreciation. This platform looks really good, but this pricing / approach has spoiled it. By contrast Lexus has gone very simple with the GX, the Infiniti version of the Patrol could have knocked it out of the park with its bigger size than Land cruiser/GX with less fluff and better pricing. Even an American Truck - the Caddy Escalade will probably hold its value better than this will, which is a shame, as with focus on off-road and simple this could have been so much better.

[@joeferreira1971]

Mind boggling about all the comments here about reliability?? This is a Japanese brand and they're all reliable to similar extents. Now if you're talking about German cars or Land Rover yes that's a problem! I'm on my third Infiniti and I've never had any issues and I keep my cars a long time. As for the twin turbo, it's been around for many years now. My 2018 Q50 red sport with the twin turbo, no issues 7 years now and I tend to drive it pretty hard. My wife still drives a 2012 Infiniti ex35...zero issues. If you don't like it because you don't think it's cool that's not a problem, but people bringing up reliability and then saying how much they love Land Rover (WORST reliability) and BMW, that's pretty silly.

[@calebwany8422]

Great overall review. I believe the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy has heated 3rd row seats, even though you might not consider it in the same class.

[@rromancunard]

Bro, at this time probably Hyundai Palisade is better than this new model Infinity in reliable. Infinity need improve more, only is appearance. For example the Grand Wagoneer with screen for all passengers, Lexus of course with its strong and reliables engines, Cadillac with the reputation of more years in the industry and Lincoln a beautiful inside design for drive and be relaxs. Infinity need do more than a new style(for example a reinforce roof similar to Volvo for safety) to attract. Actually nothing new to offer except the new design.

This vehicle is waaaay out of my league, but the issue with the piano black plastics that many brands use, gave me a thought. Can you not put some sort of matte finish overlay on those areas? Would the touch/haptic controls still work? Maybe someone already makes pre-cut overlays for various models, and if not, maybe someone should think of manufacturing such a product.
