2025 Infiniti QX80 Autograph - POV First Driving Impressions

[@coolamazon123]

Infiniti is back in business

[@Inferno45]

Great now let’s fix nissan while Toyota is shooting itself in the foot.

[@ataibsaleem7419]

Now all they need to do is put this new powertrain in the next gen Q50 and maybe a sporty crossover.

[@TalooshDaBoss]

@@ataibsaleem7419 It doesnt rev high enough, theyll just use the vr30 till its extremley outdated then switch to all ev, which is a mistake

[@ataibsaleem7419]

​@@TalooshDaBoss hopefully they make the engine more athletic and rev happy. But if that's the case, then this engine is probably meant for big SUVs and trucks. Hybrid vr30 setup would be an okay compromise instead of going full EV.

[@rapide12345]

QX60 and the QX80 are the only thing I would consider buying from Infiniti, the QX50 and 55 needs a tech, interior and transmission upgrade, also they should put a detuned version of the 3.5TT on this to the QX60.

[@blackgold754]

What an unexpected collab 😂

[@Heunreachable]

no but fr lmao

[@pmiahky]

He brought that sidekick geek from KY. Those two boys in KY are hilarious lol. 😳

[@blackgold754]

@@pmiahky lol I kinda feel bad that their Santa Fe broke down. They really seemed to have fun with that. Hope they buy a better hybrid version of it though

[@HighExposureMedia]

Mark my words, by 2030, Infiniti will be back to competing as one of the best luxury automakers there is. The dedication of their design team to culture, heritage, and detail is outstanding!

[@frespects9624]

Honestly nissan and infiniti make great cars, they need to update their damn lineup more often though. The q50 has looked the same for 10 years

[@williamlong2682]

Was saying this on Tedward’s leaf video this morning, too, but for being in the position they’re in, Nissan and Infiniti are making pretty darn good lemonade with the lemons they have. If they keep products like this up and continually improve them, I think they’ll end up being just fine.

[@sakyibellz]

Finally the drive!! Thanks Topher!

[@Itheman123456789]

Feels like the first time they've finally caught up to the competition

[@frespects9624]

Yeah the q50 looks ancient

[@Suspiciousrock]

this thing is gorgeous

[@tharris7919]

The front looks good, the interior looks great and the rear looks like an evolution of the old 2011 infiniti qx56 tail.

[@TheStep1980]

This is a significant update over the previous generation model.

[@malcolmcrutchfield3407]

The interior looks really nice

[@jlmnjr88]

Strange observation - why will Nissan put rear door sunshades on the Rogue and Pathfinder, but not the flagship QX80?

[@бредлит]

Тонированные стёкла.

[@iconmovement9481]

The rear doors glass has special uv protection …

[@TimTimeless]

make more car therapy topher!!! :DD i remember a video when you were in la, it helped me a lot

[@seb5945]

I'm losing interest in brands that focus only on SUVs.

[@Venomoustoxins2122]

Im losing interest when they kill natural aspirated engines

[@BandoLando]

i know that in a couple of years someone is going to rip the engine out of one of these that's been crashed and put it in a Z. the power numbers are crazy.

[@balmainattitude]

as they should I just wonder how much heavier it’d make the Z.

[@vvevvevvvv]

Or, you can make stroked version of VR30 from the Z.

[@faheemabbas3965]

Just reminding people that this is the top-of-the-line trim. Base trim is around $82k iirc

[@robmrsh]

the engine sound coming thru the speakers is so obvious it’s insane

[@hsiautoclub]

Great interior !!!

[@jacksondoering7313]

Can’t wait to buy one of these in six years for 20 grand

[@бредлит]

😅👍

[@Cptdng]

Just buy a six year old qx80 now

[@chideraozurumba9136]

Its true value 🤣🤣

[@billyr6125]

Nice collab with one of the Car Confections Brothers :-) Well Done Chris !

[@nickcastillo738]

I love the rear end and lights

[@cgatito3528]

The opening shot of this video is the epitome of over complexity in cars.

[@ElliWoelfin]

Yeah, real ugly and overdesigned

[@John.Christopher]

Have a LOVELY start to your week everyone 💗🕊🌱 I LOVE You! P.S. Awesome video, Topher Drives 😊

[@WayApp]

A blend of elegance and capability

[@boostedgixxer]

Would never spend 6 figures on a Infiniti. Much better options available in that price range

[@faheemabbas3965]

Eh. I guess Infiniti should go out of business. But I remind myself that competition is a good thing. Even if the competition ain’t good enough. But then it’s like the competition doesn’t even exist in the first place…

[@blackgold754]

Id honestly get a lexus or genesis or lucid

[@carnations1905]

That’s because you are a hater. Yeah buy lx600 and less than 30k miles the engine and transmission will blow. Even the genesis and their crappy engines. Good luck with your look lx600 . 😅

[@carnations1905]

@@blackgold754 please go and buy your glorious lx600, few minutes from the dealership, before you get to your house the engine will blow, 💥 boom

[@blackgold754]

@@carnations1905 bruh I think you’re talking about new Tacoma engines that’s breaking down with mild off-roading . Not GX and even genesis is considered more reliable than its Porsche, Cadillac, and bmw counterparts. Most cars today are shit and buying luxury cars are risky but the risk is minimized with buying Lexus or genesis.

[@1topgorgon]

Cmon guy what big truck has rear wheel steering?

[@JTube571]

Front and rear bumper cover paint shade is different from the rest of the car. Honestly a big issue across a lot of new cars but on something this expensive it really sticks out.

[@бредлит]

Это игра тени.

[@WillMoon]

That’s REALLY expensive…

[@occckid123]

Since i saw the 1st interior photos i wondered about the armerest center stack design. They definately need to fix that area. Whoever did that should be fired.

[@__2569]

the same feeling

[@occckid123]

@@__2569 It's the only thing I kept seeing in my head.I'm like the armrest is there, but it's too far back and the rest is going to be hard to put your elbow on. So I was a little bit confused that someone actually approved this LO. L

[@__2569]

@@occckid123 like me the car is great but that part is messed up I don't feel comfortable looking at it.

[@SamLed1111]

Unloaded question: Who is buying a $100k+ Nissan product? Would you trust (reliability wise) a big, $116k Nissan product vs a similarly priced Lexus, Cadillac, Bimmer, or Merc SUV?

[@forcedhaircut]

the fact this big thing doesn't have a cvt makes it a much better purchase to stomach if you're financially irresponsible

[@faheemabbas3965]

Nissan heavy duty cars are underrated. So many Patrols in the Middle East. I see many old Armadas and QX80 in the US too. They don’t use CVTs, they’re fine.

[@MS-mr4zm]

You mean besides the GTR they’ve spent like 20 years perfecting w/ a ttV6? Hmmmm…maybe they know a thing or 2 about turbo engines🤫

[@SamLed1111]

​@@MS-mr4zmGood to hear. Although I am a VW(8th VW GLI)/Audi fanboi I grew up with Datsun (dad had a Datsun 810 ,1984 300zx turbo, and 1990 Infiniti Q45 (all bought new). I hate what Renault did to the Nissan brand.

[@Playb0ymari]

Everybody isn’t a car enthusiast. Y’all overthink this stuff too much. The people that lease these luxury cars don’t be as worried about the stuff that’s complained about on here

[@vent698]

Now Infiniti has made a strong return to the competition, with a beautiful appearance and a very nice interior, much better than Lexus

[@performingspecs7841]

Very good looking update, love the interior .

[@randalllawkin]

cant wait for the new Armada version make it more utilitarian

[@guapo1804]

I love the way they design that digital cluster

[@XantoS771]

This is more exclusive than a GV80 or Lexus LX. If you want exclusivity this is it.

[@w4ld-39]

Kinda wished they introduced more interior colour combos 🤷🏻‍♂️ Plus i think they didnt take a thought about changing the tire/wheel size 🤔 looks significantly small compared to its body. Maybe some big ass spacers will do the job?

[@newton2105]

Look forward to seeing one at Dave’s Used Cars for 35K in three years

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

Glad they finally tried to make a modern vehicle.

[@ashtongreen6270]

They didn’t try-they did.

[@vintagetriplex3728]

Every car manufacturers want to have big touch screens in their cars.

[@Joshua-yt8ul]

It's because it's cheaper for them to make it like this. Personally, I don't mind some screens here and there; but this is just done without taste. Much better than old Infiniti interiors, though.

[@adrienangelo3746]

Every car manufacturers want to copy Mercedes Benz when it comes to the infotainment system design.

[@forcedhaircut]

get the last gen qx80

[@user-hz4le7sq5r]

Wow arm rest issue might be a deal breaker for me. Huge miss here

[@__2569]

same as u

[@thunderbear0]

Nissan is so back!

[@seendabeen1740]

I’ll miss the v8 such a good motor hope the v6 is reliable

[@lukelee6421]

What is the top speed of the Infiniti QX80 Autograph?

[@hsiautoclub]

130 mph

Beautiful!

[@joeyp1927]

Well hello, Topher Too!

[@the_larsonfamily]

I used to love this truck when it was the QX56. 110,000 and it doesn't have soft closing doors? The design (hitting the storage button on arm rest), may lack power, I don't think it's thoroughly planned. Good review though. Thank you

[@GRamerDim]

it looks like a range rover 😭 from the steering wheel to the boxy look and the rear ¾ angle to the side vent thing in the front fenders

[@willbrown2716]

The running board thing made me laugh. We have a 2011 Suburban LTZ with the power running boards and we had the passenger motor go bad four years ago and if you turn the running boards off, they are stuck up, not down, so that’s the only thing that has been an issue with them.

[@Moecean]

My prediction, they will use this engine with a hybrid set up in the new gtr. Considering the power this makes, also twin turbo, makes sense to me. Nissan also doesn't have a super big budget.

[@cryxbaby2250]

I prefer the touch signals just tap it and it blinks 3x

[@P_double_H]

Beautiful Car!!!

[@David4413]

Better value than a Escalade

[@darell8310]

Nobody buying an Escalade is cross shopping with this

[@MS-mr4zm]

@@dawsongranger4940 *nobody is buying this. Period.😂😂

[@HighExposureMedia]

I actually believe soft close doors are an unnecessary tech that's been added to luxury cars. I could see Infiniti adding automatic closing doors in the future.

[@SvenQ45]

Well on the FX50/QX70 you could have all-wheel steering. But it makes it also heavier but also the money right now... But I think it´s just a small draw back. But it would also be nice to add something others don´t have. But other than the small things it´s fine. Finally.

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

Nice truck, it has good things like the upholstery, the dash, everything.I like it.

[@vipse1984]

Looks better than LX600

[@DoSum4Me]

Lexus needs to take note on how to do a proper interior.

[@General_M]

Wait 2 years and you can get it for almost half off. Makes the $112k a tiny bit more palatable, though, some sob with no sense of money would have to buy it first. Also, the sound coming through the speakers sounds like they were trying to make it sound like cars from Cruis'n USA from the N64. In other words, it sounds terrible.

[@KuyaArbee]

good to be honest about the "massaging seats" I swear the gimmicks that most cars are trying to come out with and this is honestly a sad attempt by Infiniti... I'd still take a escalade over this.... also that center console is AWKWARD.... also the door that opens is on the arm rest is dumb...

[@__2569]

yes

[@ryanb8736]

That center console is atrocious. Looks very uncomfortable and annoying.

[@__2569]

yep
