The 2024 Infiniti QX80 Sensory Is An Old-School Reliable V8 Powered Luxury SUV

With a new generation right around the corner, the #InfinitiQX80 soldiers on as one of the last remaining V8 powered truck based SUV's left on the market. While the current #Infiniti #QX80 has been around since 2010, it feels like a solid tank and is one of the last V8-Powered Japanese truck based SUV's left. We expect the next generation to use a twin-turbo V6 under the hood.

How many times are they gonna make this thing!!?? Infiniti: Infinity ♾️

[@DJ_BROBOT]

and while the Nissan Armada is the exact same truck, it aint going nowhere

[@roby4361]

Forever I hope! It surpasses anything else in large SUVs. People should realize that many luxury car brands maintain a winning model design for years before changing it. It's good for the Manufacturers who can keep their costs down & it's good for their buyers who don't have to change their vechiles every year or two to look like they are driving a new truck. The 2025 will be awesome...but so is this current body style.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Imagine if Infiniti continues to make this until like 2030 and it still looks like this. I wouldn’t be surprised. I actually still think it looks nice on the outside but the interior can’t be justified as a luxury version of the Nissan Armada since the interior is practically the same. The interior is still very nice tho. And this thing will last you a long time, in terms of engine, transmission, nothing will fall apart, similar to that of like the Lexus LX.

[@sakibbinsalam8297]

The dealers are taking back 2022 QX80s with 20,000 miles for under $50,000. So a $90,000 purchase is losing almost 50% of it's value in 2 years. Buying a used one might be the way to go.

Well, I also hate the cars without any sunroof. You are buying a large SUV to drive in long road trips, like National Parks etc but you can't look out through the roof to see the scenery while driving. Also sunroofs introduced in 1937. It is not a feature to complicate the car.

[@skonew]

I had the EXACT same backup and 360 camera system in my 2015 Rogue SV - they still use the exact same graphics and sound for it too. I'm surprised they refuse to update it even in the Infinities especially since Nissan was one of the first brands to include the 360 cameras on "entry" level vehicles that cost less than a third of what this QX80 does

[@seaweedin_]

I feel like Nissan/Infiniti struggle the most with updating and keeping their products modern. The Q50 has been around for a decade relatively unchanged, the interior being it's most glaring issue. Even worse, since the QX80 went on sale, the Escalade has been through two generations. Makes me sad, late 90's/early 2000's with cars like the Maxima and G35 the brands were serious competitors and now I couldn't name one single model that another brand does better in almost every metric.

[@fredhaidalis5888]

I still love the QX80’s exterior and amazing V8 engine, but that interior is very old and dated. But I will say it is still decently luxurious in there, very big, imposing, and just exudes 2000s luxury. Plus nothing really drives like this anymore. It’s very wallow-y, soft suspension tuning, and overall it’s just a comfortable car that you can use every day.

[@naveenthemachine]

If you think the interior is dated, go checkout the LX600 😂. That interior is far worse than the qx80

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@naveenthemachine yeah but honestly, Lexus are in a position where their interiors are more acceptable even though they’re dated but still pretty luxurious for the price, whereas with Infiniti, it’s not really the same since people don’t really associate Infiniti with top luxury anymore whereas people still consider Lexus as a good luxury brand. That’s just me tho 😆

[@DJ_BROBOT]

truth be told, I own the 2017 version of this. It is essentially the same truck (along with the Nissan Armada). Only the front end treatment, center screen on the instrument cluster and center stack are different. All else is the same. Plus, the 2017 is a better looker and gets lots of attention from people when you drive it. Many people have asked about my truck even now...and I have seen many people in my area get the older versions since I got mine new (but tons more of the Armada version of this tho). The current versions looks plain and innocuous. Back when the 2015-2017 came out, many people were torn over the looks...but years later, it has aged well and people love it. It has enough crazy curves, angles , light arrangement and chrome-work that make it stand out and look uber luxurious. I dont see that many of this version of the QX80 in my area to be honest. You may as well pay less and get all the things this current version. Id do a center stack and instrument cluster swap if I can get around to it

$91k is a steep price for this thing. You can step into a base Lexus LX for about $2k more. The extra $2k will be more than paid back after 2 years of ownership. And the Lexus has a solid rear axle which is durable and gives you superior off road chops. If you want this vehicle, or any other current-gen QX80's, wait a couple of years and buy them on the used market. I'm not saying this is a bad vehicle (aside from mediocre infotainment), but depreciation on this vehicle will be huge being it is a NA V8 and thirsty. Conversely, it is a NA V8 and is probably more reliable than a turbo engine. Nice interior that you will want to put your hands all over. The next gen QX80 will likely get the Z car makeover; the hard points will be the same(same interior comfort/dimensions/switchgear), and it will likely get a version of the 3.0L turbo V6. But it still won't be highly competitive in the market. The competition still has the brand cachet and party tricks. Get a used one.
