The 2025 Infiniti QX80 Is Large, In Charge, And... Firmly Sprung? | 2025 QX80 Review 

Im just proud to see Infiniti put in some effort and i hope it sells good.

Looks so much more luxurious than the Lexus GX or LX. Lexus definitely dropped the ball with its latest interior designs

Best time to buy the 2021 QX80s.

The one thing you have to keep in mind is....the dealership experience. I've owned an Infiniti QX60, Chrysler 300C, BMW M3, Honda Odyssey, and a Jeep Cherokee. By far, the Chrysler/Jeep dealership experience is the worst. If you are paying $100k for a car/SUV, you expect the dealership experience to matched the price, not with Chrysler/Jeep. From the moment you drive up to the service bay to the moment you leave, it makes you wonder if you should have bought something else. I've experienced this at multiple Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealerships. Brought my Cherokee in for a navigation screen not working, all 4 door handles coming off, sunroof won't closed, and passenger window won't open, all under warranty. 2 weeks later picking up the vehicle, I go to closed the window, won't closed, the navigation screen still frozen, passenger window won't opened, but they did replaced 4 door handles. Service manager apologized, it was on the service order but they "forgot", brought in it for 2 more weeks, they only fixed the passenger window, apologized again, brought the suv to another Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge dealership ship, same thing. Never had any issue with Ford, Infiniti is on par with BMW, very clean and modern, you got snacks, sandwiches, cold and hot drinks, fruits waiting for you, loaner car (you can picked from several models), it feels more like a high end dealership and treating you like they are thanking you for buying their products. We saw a Wagoneer at a carshow, my wife really was digging it, I asked her if you dig it enough to go back to the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership, she quickly walked away.

The review I was waiting for, a good review like always Alex!

This car would be GREAT for a drive in movie

Interesting that the Sensory model was priced @ $100,645, not just under $100k. They should know how important that $100k barrier is for buyers, and how that deter buyers Did Infiniti really need $650 dollars?

Alex, Let's be very diplomatic and say the pricing is........ ambitious. To use a sporting metaphor, swinging for the fences is very bold when you are batting around 125. 😉😉

It's amazing that vehicle so tall can have so little headroom. It's just ridiculous.

6:44 what? It’s body on frame, old school rugged, but they decided to omit the two speed transfer case? Weird decision. Was impressed up until this point.

That center console area makes no sense. They seem to have forgotten about the gear selectors and just stuck them randomly there..

Excellent review--very professional!

Why is nobody talking about how dumb the layout is of that front seat center console? With the cupholder in the charging place lid open, there is nowhere to put your elbow when you’re driving or in the passenger seat. And I heard one you say that that top is not even soft material so it hurt his elbow.I drive 90% of the time with my left hand on the steering wheel in my right elbow resting on that center console in my Tahoe. The way this layout and material is, it is a dealbreaker.

Gorgeous - love it! Awesome, in depth video as always.

Infinity is doing it right. Using real wood trim and very rich interiors. I don’t know what happened to Lexus, but they have definitely fall off the bandwagon and this is coming from a 18 year Toyota/Lexus fanboy. I am so disappointed in the new generation Lexus vehicles, we have our eye on QX 60 for our next vehicle because it literally is a next level upgrade compared to what Lexus has to offer

The best keypoints here in new QX80 just like the new Patrol Y63 is MADE IN JAPAN, so expect the longetivity and reliability sameway as the tiny Lexus LX600

Awesome interior. The seats looks comfy and the whole place looks so spacious. Great for those long trips. Exterior styling is ok. Nothing to shout about and the rear lights aren't nice at all.

I would like the top trim without the air suspension. Also, i am really not confident in the v6. I am looking for long- term durability.

I miss the front seat scores!

Alex. A GLS450 with many options checked off is 97-99k. It's a V6. Air suspension. And I'd argue it blows this Infiniti out of the water. So I am genuinely confused when you say GLS "is a lot more expensive"...

Crazy that all that extra power on paper for the turbo 6, it’s no faster than the old tried and true 5.6L V8. It’s no secret which engine I’d prefer. Seems like the previous gen QX80 is the way to go, especially for value.

How is the park brake actuated? Is it a foot operated pedal or a push button switch somewhere?

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

For me I'm on the fence between grand wagoneer or thus vehicle

Lexus lx600 is holding value strong 💪

I was just one day old when I just found out about the Infiniti logo 🤯🤯🤯

I'm really trying to like this car but my gut feeling just outright rejects it for now. Perhaps over time it will grow on me. The older model is a tank and the V8 made it a true beast that can take anyone anywhere across the country without breaking down.

Lol… you would need a ladder just to check a dipstick

The first real review of this vehicle, TFL please take notes!

No wireless CarPlay?

I hope the buyers of this behemoth like fingerprints and scratches, because that's all they're going to see on the center console. Yikes. Strike One: huge connected screen for the dash and center plus a screen for HVAC ... ick. Strike Two: Push button gear selection Strike Three: Piano black EVERYWHERE.

I like it a lot, but not to the level I like the Escalade.

Good review. Americans love these gargantuan resource wasting boxes, and at crazy prices too. I think it’s just status that people want. I mean General Motors makes an electric hummer ! I’d rather have something simpler and fun to drive. I just don’t get this my trucks bigger than yours thing. Just a ridiculous status symbol.

Might as well get a Range Rover for this price point ….

11:26 the most expensive trim but cheapo plastic buttons just like 2005 Camry. enough reasons why Japanese cars are no longer as sexy as they used to be...

BETTER. It’s like Escalade and GLS combined.

Infiniti still makes cars? ;-)

V6... Gone. Done. Don't care. Not buying an SUV of that size without a V8.

In summary no

My Camry smog test donot shows catalytic converter details without check engine lights. They ask me to drive but no luck.pls advice how to proceed

It's ugly! The FX45 & FX50S were everything Infiniti was about. This is far from it...

I started to watch a review of this vehicle on a different channel, but I just couldn’t do it. This is the definitive channel for auto reviews.

This was insanely overdue for an update. I still like the escalade over this although I'm very interested to see what the new navigator brings.

The Lexus LX and GX are not luxurious I was expecting them to have a similar interior to the LS, which would have been beautiful...but they dont look different than regular Toyota interiors

Alex I love your channel but can you please provide cargo numbers behind second row and show it as well as that's what people care about??

17 mpg and premium gas....still terrible

Yes, this New 2025 QX80's better than Escalade.

The logic behind using a V6 to push the same mass you were previously using a V8 for is hilarious, and then justifying it by slapping on a bunch of turbos. Real world driving this engine will get the same or very similar mpg as the V8, it’s all propaganda to appease the tree huggers!

Way more reliable

Allow me to just say that Jeep has lost their damn minds. I knew they were heading for a brand identity crisis when the Jeep Grand Wagoneer started $12,000 above a Cadillac Escalade. Jeep is not a luxury brand, and as long as they sell things like the Renegade, Cherokee, and Wrangler, they never will be.

An ugly boat

No hybrid or PHEV?! No sale! Next.

Won't sell well at those high prices, especially at 100K or more.

What's the point in designing and building such a huge and heavy vehicle, but giving it so little cargo space behind the 3rd row? This would make much more sense if it was 1ft longer.

I have a 2021 Nissan Armada Platinum. If that new Armada does not have a 2 speed transfer case, forget about it. All that money and no 2 speed transfer is ridiculous. At least Lexus didn’t ditch the off road chops. I will probably never take it off road, but it is nice to know you can.😊

The center console is a cluttered mess with all of those cubbies and the direction they open. I watched Car Confections review and apparently that massive front row center console isn’t padded either. The second row center console has a glass touchscreen glued to it, I wonder how many trips to the third row that’ll survive before the screen gets cracked. How do you up the price for everything you’ve stitched & wrapped up in leather but didn’t care to provide any padding underneath to make sure the cabin also feels comfortable? Attention to details, comfort & interior intuitiveness are definitely areas where the Cadillac is more polished.

It's known to be massively expensive to create an all new vehicle, and just sell ONE vehicle based on it in a market where there was no update for over 10 years.....Will Nissan take this and bring back the Titan?

Kinda wished they introduced more interior colour combos 🤷🏻‍♂️ off-white or beige colour for me 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?

If I won the lottery or suddenly ended up with a job that would make this attainable this is what I would buy. I trust it to be more reliable than any of the American options, and likely better than the Lexus considering their recent engine issues. I’ve always been impressed how much smaller both previous versions of Armada/QX56/80 felt to drive than they were so glad to hear that feeling remains.

With the upcoming redesigned Escalade, competitors might want to keep the heat hot. I believe this or the upcoming navigator might be an issue for Escalade

Rest in peace Lexus. The qx80 has done the unthinkable: they’ve ostensibly discontinued the Lexus LX from existence Well done Infiniti. You came back

Betteridge's law of thumbnails strikes again

The only thing I wish more Full size SUVs had was more adjustable seats. Only the Grand Wagoneer and Navigator have highly adjustable seats. For that money all those Big SUVs should have that.

Gx lx aren’t competitors, wagoneer has so many problems only an idiot would buy one, navigator and Escalade are ancient. If the qx80 didn’t get an engine downgrade it would be the obvious choice

It's ridiculous in this day and age that HUD is still only optional in this price range.

Masculinity handsome but front could be tougher

15 mpg…😂😂😂👎🫏

Excellent review, definitely one of the most professional reviewers out there.

This thing is hideous. I absolutely hate the front end,.,sorry Alex. Divorced headlights should be banned from all automotive design.and that’s the thing I dislike the least.

Qx80 Para mi compite con land rover por el lujo pero es mejor la qx80 saludos

Stupid with no 4Low 😂😂😂😂 it's a santafe 😂

7 passengers with a small trunk for the bags. 😊 Probably buy new clothes but for return with the new clothes, mmm or probably are billionaires and leave the clothes, but if are billionaires this car no is for they because are Rolls-Royce, helicopters or private jets for travels. The Cadillac Escalade with the big trunk win for all kind of people. 🏆💗👏🏼👏🏿👏👏🏻👏🏽. The new Infinity is a new advance but need again be better, is other standard big suv with some luxury but need more comfort for alls passenger with the luggage without sacrifice the long distances trips enjoying this new model.

cool but for 100k not cool at all

But Escalade is not good, at least Lexus

wheres the rear seat entertainment screens😢

No thank you I’ll take the Escalade

Excellent video Alex.

Be interesting to see if Infiniti updates their other SUV offerings to match the updates in this three-row model: updates which seem pretty darn good!

Better !!!!!! Then the caddy

But is it down to get the friction on?

This Infiniti QX-80 is on-par with everything else in this class like the LX, GX which is not as impressive, especially since the engine is shared with the tundra which at the moment it’s breaking apart/turbo waste-gate so they might eventually start acting up too. The Jeep Grand-W is hideous plus it’s stellantis product so no. The X7 has a horrendous front end, the GLS looks like a bubble and overprice. The Escalade has always been the best minus the roof leaks. The Navigator is a fancy expedition that’s still can’t create its own identity. Range Rover it’s expensive as hell and with proper maintenance it could last. And I almost forgot the all new Sequoia probably the cheapest but it’s too expensive for a Toyota plus, it also shares the same engine as the tundra that’s not gonna turn out well. We don’t have anything Audi, Porsche, Genesis and Volvo but for the best built quality goes the X7, LX,GX and the QX-80.

This looked like a compelling product for approximately 2.5 weeks. Then GM revealed the 2025 Cadillac Escalade.

Oof the buttons for gear selectors 🤮 lol this is supposed to be l u x u r y. Y no fancy crystal gear selector?

Tire size? Gas mileage? What does the rear cargo area look like with the 3rd row seats folded?

You remain the definitive vehicle review. This vehicle not ready for prime time.

Would only drive this if i was compensating for something tiny.

$110K+ and no thigh extender...why?

When I win the lottery I will buy 2.

good luck with the trans😭

Thank you, Alex for the review. I said it before, I really liked the previous version and I wonder if Infinity has done enough for this new model. First, the engine choice, yawn. Give it T least a decent battery so Mama Bear can get some shopping and errands done. And if you do a new vehicle in this class in 2024, try to stand out a little bit. Where does this vehicle stand out in any way, shape or form? I just don't see it. Where is the chauffeur version with two seats, back sliding doors and a divider. Where is the "long family trip" version with entertainment screens and a fridge? Where are the flat folding second row seats so the kids can take a nap and be quiet? Where is the power outlet and the dedicated, secure storage spot for the Xbox or PS5? Where are the blinds for all the rear windows to completely darken it so the baby can go to sleep? Why can't you turn the second row seats towards the rear with an optional table in between so we can play some board games or the oldest daughter can feed the baby or change the diapers on the fly? Why not have some dedicated option packages like that? Right now, Infinity has a nicely updated vehicle which really doesn't stand out. It's probably great and all, but in my opinion, they missed a lot of opportunities here. They made a competitor. What they should have made is a game changer. And I just don't see it.

The Japanese and Koreans are experts at imitation. This is like a poor mans Range Rover, they even called their trims autobiography! And that engine is phenomenal. It will surely be reliable, they’ve used it forever.

Full sized BAE

Cars just keep getting more and more unattainable 😢

Who started this monster grill craze?

What about bench seats? I hate the captains chairs. They are useless.

This or the gls580?

I don’t know why they didn’t shrink down the V8 and put twin turbos on it.

Im more curious about the armada to follow this. The interior of this thing is a joke, i wonder if the "volume model" will handle things like the center console

New transmission eh? Prolly still using plastic parts…Now with more finely tuned planned obsolescence. 🙂‍↔️

Will done
