Is the 2023 Infiniti QX80 a better luxury SUV than a Cadillac Escalade? 

I’ve had a 2014 Sensory trim QX80 with 153,000 and nothing but reliable transportation since day one. Love it.

I just picked up a loaded Sensory for $77k. In terms of value, this is a better Luxury full-size SUV compared to Ford, Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, and Lincoln. Navigators and Escalades going for $95k to $110. Expedition, Yukon, and Tahoe going for high $80s. I agree with video and comments that this SUV can use an upgrade but $77k is great value…plenty of room for golf clubs and family luggage for our road trips!

10-year-old design, 5-year-old tech and switchgear out of the pathfinder. The balls on this company. 65k tops.

i just got my wife one yesterday.....she loves it. so that makes me happy.

This looks absolutely great, I’ll be picking one up in 2 years once it’s about 3/5 of the price 😁

$90,000 for this is insane and no massaging seats . Infinity needs to pack it up or do a full overhaul

Old school..but still,its a proven tank 🤘🏻

This the closest thing to an American Land Yacht that the Japanese have ever produced. Big, heavy, low MPG, luxurious. Very safe in a collision, as the more weight you have the less shock you receive (and conversely the other guy gets more necksnapping whiplash).

My family and I are loving our QX80. The only downside is I get 11.7 MPG no matter what I do. Besides that it’s a magic carpet ride tank.

7:39 excellent review as always Joe, you forgot to ZONK the incandescent turn signals on the bottom 😂 For a vehicle in this price range, this should have all LEDs inside and out.

This beautiful vehicle definitely has a presence on the road unlike other Boring SUVs

Ive rented Armada couple of times. Drove down to Vegas, and LOVED IT. Even with being a little tight, I would still choose this old school dinosaur with proven older tech, a v8, over a compatition. Thanks Joe.

Say Infiniti's line up is outdated all you want but you have to admit they were ahead of the game with their designs. Yes they are in need of a redesign but they have aged very well.

55-60k would be nice for this! The company didn’t have to invest in new equipment to make different parts, just a few! Overall is a good tank that looks good and gets the job done!

An absolute beast! I own one and could not be happier. My previous one was Lexus GX460. Power delivery is smoother in QX80 and seats are more comfortable. I love the 360 degree camera. 36 presets for audio, power reclining 3rd row and soft supple ride.

I like the clean integration of the screen in the head rest versus the slap on look other brands have.

I've got the top trim '23 Armada basically the same vehicle with different badges. Love the vehicle and power for days once it's broken in.

I’m also still partial to the flip down rear entertainment, especially with having the digital rear view mirrors, the last gen Escalade esv platinum with the head rest monitors and the two flip downs were my fav 🥰

Just bought a 23 QX80. Its sensational. With everyone doing too many screens...the technology is just where i want it. With 3 kids and a dog this is cozy. It also does well offroad. And yes. We take it offroad. It tows well...Also, been a Toyota guy for 20+ years...but i wanted a bulletproof v8. This delivers. Plenty of people have hugh mileage inifinitis/Nissans. Its safe, rides amazing, delivers in every category

Joe wasn’t interested in this review at all. U can tell he felt like he wasted his time.

90K for that is way overpriced. Something comparable would be the Lexus GX460. Also a V8. It was refreshed in 2022 with a new bigger screen and Apple CarPlay. The base is 59K and the luxury model is 69K. Plus they’ll go 500k miles. Just a thought. Great review!!

your video cranks me up everytime, especially the check surroundings for safty part lol

Damn, that's impressive 0-60 for a huge SUV! Good work Joe 🤠

Mrs had a 2017 - identical and back then it was dated - that being said, so quite and smooth running down the road, absolute tank in the snow, but dang, living with a vehicle this size is a job - small parking lots, drive through are tough, but dang, so much the same

Awesome review Joe, beautiful infinti QX80. Iv'e always loved this brand!

I love the tan leather, joe. I might be 33 but my taste in interior style is that of a 60 year old. Infiniti is stepping up at least in the interior department.

I have a 2020 QX80 I, and I absolutely love it. 20mpg highway city 14- 16, and I like the dual screen better, too. And endurance 5.6 engine reliability is a bonus. People should test drive them for yourselves.

Overseas, it comes with a rear locker. They are the goto big SUV in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There are a 8 at every stoplight.

400hp and the performance for a car like this is really good. I wish they’d done more with the rear end, at least dual and less restrictive exhaust but that would be expecting too much from Nissan.

Man, I think this review had the most Zonks ever! Another honest review Joe! Thanks

I love my 2022 QX80 I have owned everything out there. This ride is safe, luxurious, quiet & a truly ultimate driving experience. Also it turns way more heads than my Escalade & my Porsche Cayenne did! Luv it! Luv it! Luv it! Don't change the body style please! Timeless design...King of the road!

That’s the best looking exterior update to this vehicle yet. With no v8 Land Cruiser or Lexus LX this is getting more of my attention.

This thing is one of my favorite trucks. I always wanted one n this one would definitely be the one except prices are crazy right now on all cars.

Love the design, it looks very unique but I don't see me paying for it. For that price I would go for a full size like the Yukon or Tahoe.

😁So right Joe! You stepped to the camera with the perfect message we’ve ALL been thinking 0:37

This will be my dream SUV right now Joe.

Needs a exterior overhaul...BUT STILL LOOKS BETTER THAN MOST OF ITS COMPETITORS

Man!! That color is beautiful! 🔥

The Escalade is probably one of the best American made SUV in my opinion.!!!.

Love it!!

Luxury to me is less chrome and more matched painted parts

This generation of QX80 is so pretty from the outside

I really like the 2nd row screens built into the headrest.Sleek design.

I’ve got a 2011 QX 56 Shocking how similar it looks to this

Sans the dated interior, I would buy this for the reliability, V-8 and driving dynamics. The style is iconic.

It's sad that the Nissan Armada has LED turn signals in the rear but the QX80 has halogen turn signals in the rear.

That's true about forgetting that Infiniti still existed. Another great review.

Awesome review 👏

You are so right Joe! Infiniti needs to step it up. This QX80 is so old in its design. It is in desperate need of an update. Great review! Thanks for bringing it to us.

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👏 👍 💯

I work at an AutoZone and I can agree with the stick-on vent comment. They would totally fall off shortly after being applied..

I absolutely love Infiniti. I leased a 2012 G37x ten years ago. Such a fun car!! 🤩 I can’t see myself paying $90k for this SUV, however.

Here from Instagram ❤❤ amazing I love these car videos.

LOVE this color and the say way you described it

This is the “you wanted a Tahoe but the rental car company only had this” special 😬

i think you fail to recognize the Q50 and Q60 which sold 7000 units in 2022 and is their more enthusiast based offerings, which accounted for about 17% of Infiniti’s sales. Not to mention the Q Red Sport cars are a blast to drive.

I legit forgot about this car until you made this review 😂😂so Thank you!

11:44 “you’re gonna want to know where all the gas stations are” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have to say, I have a 2015 and I like it much more than the newer styling they have been doing. Mine is almost fully loaded ( AWD, 4x4, the driver assist, 22" wheel & tire package, rail roof, illuminated kickplates, and the theater package). I honestly like the black leather in mine vs the brown in the top trim. Also, from my research the only other thing that I am missing out on is the lane change detection which I hear is pain in the rear anyway. I got mine last Oct for $25K, has around 115K miles now since I got it, but I am on the forums and groups and there are many there that have way more miles than that as long as you maintain it. I love the ride and how overall thought out it is. I will agree the audio/tech in mine is way outdated, but I have been looking at some aftermarket units that make it like the one in this video. I believe as long as I take care of this one, it will last and treat me well for many years, just like I have been taking care of my 2011 Jetta SE that is still in like new condition with only 85k miles.

Looks big and comfy 🙂

Hey Joe I just realized today what ever happened d to the KIA EV6 GT review? 🤔

Nice Infiniti QX80 I think this is the apostle to the SUV's compared to the big 3 Apostles. Here is my 13 Apostles to the Automotive Industry: #1. Lincoln Navegator #2. Lexus LX600. #3. BMW X7 #4. Cadillac Escalade #5. Mercedes-benz GLS #6. Mercedes-benz G Wagon #7. GMC Ucon Denali #8. Aston Martin DBX #9. Chevy Suburban High Country #10. Volvo XC90 #11. Land Rober Defendor 130 #12. Jeep Grand Wagoneer L #13, and the leader of the 12 Apostles to the Auto industry is: the Toyota Sequoia Capstone.

This car as with all infinitis was a good value proposition about 7 years ago. They have not invested in this model and I think it’s about 20K overpriced as a result. I had a q50s and my wife had qx60. Both were reliable and perfectly fine but I would not get into this brand again until they do a proper refresh.

Nissan's VQ series engines are second to none, and now that the Toyota Sequoia is a 6 cylinder, this is a no-brainer. Powerful, throaty, timing chain, and a 2 speed transfer case. Though I'd get the Nissan Armada, as the Infiniti offers nothing substantive over the Armada.

Infinity makes timeless designs

Hi Joe. Would really like to see you do a review of the 2023 Lotus Emira. Thanks

9:36 almost ate the curb jesus

Great review. I’m going to buy a 2023 QX80 today, no joke

I like this Infiniti the color is tasteful, wish there was better fuel economy with the full size SUV models. Needs a redesign though!

Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Nissan Armada Platinum

I rented one of these about a month ago honestly it that one was 2020 or 2019 even it was nice but like you said it could use a redesign…I’d rather get a Tahoe honestly

I love my 2019 QX80 Limited!

Nice looking!

You can get a 2020 M5 competition for $90,000 or less. No way in hell I’m paying $90,000 for an infinity let alone this one. I don’t think it’s a bad vehicle but that price is wild. This shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as the Escalade. I think some auto makers put vehicles at a certain price point to force it in the same category as way better vehicles lol. It’s like charging $80,000 for a Nissan Cube and acting like it compares to the Ranger Rover Velar

No “zonk” on the non LED rear turn signals? 🤔

This is what the people want...... a must HAVEEEEEEEEE1

Nice

Love the QX80

Hey Joe, one question, what is the price of that SUV? Regards. 🏎️🏎️

I like it Joe!

I feel like the styling has aged well this generation. The interior definitely needs a makeover. It screams a decade old. At least it still has a NA V8 under the hood

Your so close to 1M!!!! Subs

I always like this truck, I'm hoping Infiniti knocks out the new one!!! I'm pulling for them !!!

I’m curious what kind of car does Rati drive? 🤔

I just can’t see getting one of these over a sequoia or a Jeep wagoner but it’s nice

These Nissan Patrol's are built like a tank. Say what you will about the style, etc. The mechanics are solid.

Great Review! I am on the fence about this cause I like the Armada which is the same truck but the Infiniti is more luxurious!

I’m still waiting for a redesign

Mindbuildingsolutions Approved. Excellent video and content.

I have the 2017 and I love it . Really don’t like the radio. Every thing else is ok

Yessir this is really Beaty for sure.

Infinity was the luxury brand in the 90's. Lexus and Acura were also rans. Things went sideways and now Genesis runs circles around Infinity these days.

Old is gold. Ill pick one up when the depreciate a good 50%

I like analog gauges. I feel digital is a cheap imitation. I have a feeling in a few years when everything is digital the super high end will bring back analog 😆

BOM dia! Seus vídeos são muito bons, séria possível você fazer uma versão em português como o Mat Watson da Car Wow?😅🇧🇷

Don't get me wrong, it's still a pretty impressive Full-Sized SUV. However it's also clear that the QX80 is now somewhat behind their counterparts from GM, Ford & Mercedes-Benz. That's why I find it incredibly surprising that they haven't introduced a 3rd Generation Model as of 2023, despite this version being 13 years old now (GM has actually introduced 2 Generations of Full-Sized SUV since it launched back in 2010). Regardless, my advice to Nissan would to either launch that 3G Version or at the very least upgrade the interior & sunroof of the current 2G Version. Oh and introduce an Extended Length QX80 as well.

I have Lexus gx but I will choose QX any day very smooth and comfortable to drive I love it

The redesign is well overdue! The price is TGDH!

Qx80 is the boss SUV. I love the look old school and they hold their value unlike the big three.

My next vehicle I purchase I’m asking the Dealership to throw away the back seat entertainment replace them with some quesadillas 🤤 lol
