Due to thid type of engine it needs a oil change every 5k miles which can be inconvienent. Gas gussler but what SUV is not. Wonderful car inside and out. Very perfect for a family of 4. We have 2 kids in carseats and this is the perfect size SUV

I bought new in 2014 totally loaded. I am 6 ft 6 in tall and this is the only luxury SUV with adequate headroom without tilting the seat back. I have taken 5 hour trips with 4 adults and two children in total comfort. Voice operated navigation is great. Absolutely no mechanical issues in 55000 miles. I am 71 years old and this is by far my favorite vehicle. Better than Cadillac, Mercedes, and BMW that I have owned.

I have to start by saying that I absolutely love this vehicle. I'm a big guy (6'4" and 275 lbs.) and this vehicle fits me like a glove. I sat in the Sequoia, which was too small, and the only other one I found a comfortable position is was the Chev, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a GM. Many others have said it, but if you're worried about gas mileage you shouldn't be driving this vehicle. Love all of the features, the power, and the ride. My favorite part is the look. They nailed this one and I've gotten a lot of compliments from co-workers on the styling and the interior, even now in 2020. I have to mention that this is also one of the few third rows that I even fit in. My wife, who is shorter than me, isn't afraid to drive this vehicle despite its size due to the 360 cameras, and the ease of steering. To put it into perspective, she was afraid to drive the FJ cruiser I had before this because it was too big. I've had this for 25k km and haven't had any issues yet. The review about the gas gauge is accurate but so what? when the light comes on, you know you have 7 gallons left. To me that was not a show stopper. If you keep on the regular maintenance, it shouldn't be an issue. I would buy this vehicle again in a heart beat.

Great Infiniti QX80 Ownership Experience

UPDATE - 352,000 miles and still running strong! This has been an amazing vehicle, and has been so reliable. Love it so much that I bought a new 2024 Infiniti QX80 before the launch of the 2025 model as I wanted the 5.6L V8 engine which has proven to be so reliable and just a workhorse. My 2015 QX80 is my second Infiniti full size SUV as I previously drove a 2006 QX56 which I still own as a third vehicle for our family. I put over 205,000 miles on the 2006 model, and had absolutely no problems. UPDATE - Currently have 260,000 miles on my QX80. Great quality vehicle with outstanding ownership experience. When it came time to look at new vehicles I again did rigorous evaluation before purchasing my 2015 QX80. I looked at the Ford Expedition (I previously owned a 1997 model), the Lincoln Navigator (my wife drives a 2006 model), the Cadillac Escalade, the GMC Yukon Denali, the Chevy Tahoe LTZ, and the Toyota Sequoia Platinum. I am 6'-8" and immediately eliminated the Toyota Sequoia as I could not even sit in the driver seat due to the very short headroom as my head hit the ceiling even with the seat back reclined pretty significantly. I loved the legroom and headroom for all the GM products as they had best in class legroom, but GM still has not engineered a decent 3rd row seat to fold flat into the floor. While they advertise the new versions that way, in reality you lose at least 4" in the height of the cargo area as they have artificially raised the cargo floor to accommodate the third row seating when folded down. Legroom on their 3rd row seating was basically unusable. That left the Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition, but there was simply no comparison when evaluating the quality of the vehicles between the Infiniti QX80 and the Ford and Lincoln products. I have been extremely pleased with the outstanding quality of my QX-80. With 400 horsepower it has plenty of power to provide effective performance for such a large, heavy vehicle. While it does not have sports car acceleration, if you are driving a full size SUV that is not a primary consideration. I have found the 5.6 liter engine to have plenty of power and zip and even when cruising at 70 mph there is still plenty of acceleration when you need to pass. The 315 horses available on my 2006 QX56 was adequate, and the new fuel injection on the QX80 provides a noticeable difference in power. The greatest improvements in with the QX-80 is in the changes made with technology to improve the ride and to make the driving experience safer. I have found the blind spot monitor to be a tremendous help, and the intelligent cruise control is an amazing technology to monitor what is happening with vehicles ahead of you to ensure safe distances are maintained. If you have not used this technology, you will love it as you can set the interval you are looking to maintain and the sensors on the vehicle do an amazing job of monitoring not only the vehicle immediately in front of you, but also the vehicle on ahead to determine if there is a potential safety hazard and will automatically adjust the set speed accordingly. The driving and passenger ride experience is incredibly comfortable. With the long wheel base, the quality of the seats, and the suspension system provides a luxury car ride for your passengers. I get so many compliments from those riding with me as to how incredibly comfortable the ride is as well as how impressed they are with the luxury finish. Infiniti has used very high quality materials and it is very evident in the look and feel of the vehicle. Even with the size of a full size SUV, the QX80 handles incredibly well for both highway driving, city driving, and the surround view cameras and sensors make it every easy to handle vehicle even in tight spaces. Turning radius is excellent for this size vehicle and I can actually U-turn in a much smaller radius than many passenger cars. This vehicle is a dream to drive on the highway as the ride is so comfortable, yet when needed the handling is very responsive. Another great advantage to a full size SUV is the amount of cargo you can haul in the cargo area behind the 2nd row, and if necessary with the second row captain seats folded down. I have hauled an incredible amount of gear in my vehicle multiple times and for the past two years have been transporting dogs for a senior dog rescue and having the voluminous cargo area is great and provides a lot of flexibility. This is where it is so important at the elegant engineering of how the 3rd row seating folds into the floor. While I would agree with the other two reviews listed regarding the low end of the gas gauge accuracy, and at times the shifting of the transmission could be smoother, but that is only when you are really pushing the vehicle and need to accelerate quickly. Overall, to me these are very small issues compared to the overall quality and experience of owning this vehicle. The QX80 also has unique styling which you may either love or hate, but you won't look like every other full size SUV on the road. I personally really like the styling as it is not just a square box like so many of the competitors. The net is, I love my 2015 Infiniti QX80, and would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone. I now have 220,000 miles on my QX80 with very few issues. I am very diligent with oil changes and tire rotations. We have been so impressed with my QX80 we purchased a new 2017 QX60 for my wife to replace her old vehicle. She loves it!

Don't go see this car if you're not prepared to buy it. You will fall in love with the interior- plush seats with a multitude of settings, heat/cooling options, quiet, the most spacious 3 row out there. Love this vehicle but wish was a hybrid/not so thirsty. 3 years in with my 2015 CPO Limited Edition and haven't done anything but change the oil- and I drive the heck out of it. Gets a solid 14 mpg.

It's a great vehicle and we really like it, my only complaint is the third row. The design folks clearly have never sat there. We had a long trip and I had to try and put two adults in the third row and very quickly had to get them into another vehicle. The second row is just as plush and comfortable and the front but there should of been the ability to slide the second row forward to allow for adults in the third row.

I bought mine used with about 60K miles on it. Now it has over 100K and no issues at all. I love the way it drives, love the size, the luxury appointments. Even this old, it still looks impressive on the inside. Second row seats are heated which is nice. You can vocally ask the GPS to take you to an address. I love the all around cameras that show the front, back, side and from the roof views. Makes parking a snap! Get a used one as the prices are low. I own 3 Infiniti's and they are reliable!!

Had my 2014 QX80 for nearly 4 years. Nothing but issues. Honestly, it has been by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Oxygen Sensors, airbag sensors, and air ride compressor systems are complete junk...just get the after-market conversion to a normal system and save yourself several thousand dollars by replacing the system a second and third time down the road, catalytic converters, timing chain replacements, pulleys that are endlessly going bad..poor paint jobs on the exterior trim pieces, computers that seem as confused as they can be. Now, imagine a vehicle with endless engine lights coming on, no matter where I take it, or what is done, the engine light comes on again. If you can find a shop that is willing to work on these, you will become great friends with the people there. This has been nothing but a money pit and a big one at that. If you don't plan on spending $10,000 or more a year on repairs, you probably should avoid these altogether. For a $70,000+ automobile, I expect better. I thought Infinite was a quality luxury line, turns out it is horrible!!! You can get more quality from Fiat or Chevy. I can't express the amount of caution I would use if you consider buying one of these. I will NEVER, ever, touch another Infinite after this. I don't think it is possible to be more disgusted by a vehicle than we are with this. After more than $45,000 in repairs, we still have no end in sight. Avoid at all costs.

We have had this vehicle for 6 months and have spent $6000 in repairs. Only had 68,000 miles on it when we bought it so we thought we were getting a good deal. All struts have had to be replaced and in the back they’re air shocks and now the compressor is bad. Switch went out in dash so it can’t go between a/c and heat. It has been the worst car we have ever owned. So many problems.

We had seen the QX80 on the road, but never even looked into them when looking for our Luxury SUV with 3rd row. We drove the Escalade, Mercedes G wagon, Toyota Land cruiser. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised with the QX80. It's really plush interior, strong acceleration and a feeling both me and the wife described as though it was carved out of one piece of metal. Everything is just so solid. We love the 4wd, laser cruise control, emergency braking along with so many other options, we're just really pleased with this vehicle. We have the hydraulic handling package, not sure how or what it does, but for a large vehicle, handling is a breeze. The 360 view camera is a must but parking lots or open roads are equally very easy to drive in. The only thing we would do different is the 22 inch wheels, they do look nice, but they are very large!
Climate Control Issues very uncomfortable

When the Outside Temperature is between 40 & 60 degrees & the Vehicle Climate Control is Auto the center & floor Vents run 15 to 20 degrees warmer than the other vents making it uncomfortable. In order to keep your feet from sweating the outside vents have to be closed & the interior temperature is controlled by the center & floor vents (this is the only way to lower the temperature without having cold air come out of the Side Vents). Having the side vents closed makes your arm closest to the door cold when the outside temperature is in the 40s, unless you are wearing a jacket. I brought the vehicle back to the dealer I purchased it from they kept it for 4 days & told me that was normal. I placed a temperature gauges in the vents & photographed the Outside Airtemp reading and interior controls documenting the issue, I took the vehicle to another Infinity Dealer with the Presentation that illustrated the temperature difference between vents. The Service Adviser was great he contact the Infinity Rep & validated my concern. After another 24 hours without my vehicle the Answer from Infinity = all the QX80s have the same issue it is normal. It maybe normal for the QX80 however my Lexus or Toyota do not have a 20 degree split between vents, nor do I remember any other vehicle I have owned. This is a great vehicle, however if you live a 4 season climate twice a year you need to compensate for the Climate Control Anomaly. I would think the fix would be straight forward, either a sensor or software issue. The Climate Control issue will make me look at a different vehicle when the time comes for another SUV. The Gas issue described in another review is accurate - The Amber lite illuminates after using around 19 gallons, that doesn't bother me now that I know @ at 15mpg there is only 105 miles left in the tank if you drive easy. I generally fill all my vehicles at 1/4 tank

This is my third QX. I have owned two QX56s and now the QX80. I have had the opportunity to drive numerous vehicles through the years. This is by far my favorite SUV. Once I experienced the QX, it is hard to drive something different. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles inside and out. It is a spacious SUV with plenty of horsepower. The quality is seen throughout the entire vehicle. I cannot say enough about the QX80. I would definitely recommend it for those looking for quality, beauty, spaciousness, and overall performance.

If you're worried about gas pricing, you can't afford this vehicle. Other than the 14 mpg rating, this is a wonderful SUV to own and drive. I'm now driving my third QX and will be driving the fourth as soon as I get some more miles on the 2015 in my garage. Every competitor vehicle I have ever been in was primarily plastic and drove like a forklift. There is nothing superior to this vehicle regardless of price.

Great ride comfort and full of top end options with plenty of power but Rear air suspension seems to have too many problems. 1300 bucks 3 months ago and back at dealership for same thing in under 4000 miles. Infiniti should do a recall for this issue but now after researching this seem to be the main complaint for the Qx80 models

We have a 2014 QX80 and 2023 QX80. We have owned Mercedes and Volvos. The Infinity QX80 is a better SUV. Our 2014 V8 400 horsepower gets 24-28 on the highway. We live in snow country. QX80 handles snow ice and rain with ease. We will buy the Infinity QX80 again.

There is a problem with all of the 2015/2016 QX80 SUVs acknowledged by Infiniti. The fuel sensor in the tank is located too high in the fuel tank. You cannot measure the last 7 gallons of a 26 gallon tank. After using 19 gallons it will put hazard lights on the dash and tell you that your tank is completely empty, Shen in fact you still have 7 gallons left. Infinti has been unable to repair this problem with any of their qx80 vehicles from 2015/2016.....do not buy this car.

We looked at all of the competitive models for this vehicle. Cadillac, Toyota, Ford, GM, Lincoln, etc... and were impressed by the fit and finish of the exterior and interior of this "Limited" model. (We were so disappointed in the Lincoln-- it seemed 20 years out of date. That said, this vehicle, ON PAPER, is great. This vehicle, in REALITY, is grossly overpriced for the ownership experience. I cannot believe how bad the GPS is (and that the dealer charges us to update the software for a car this expensive). If you buy this car, purchase a Garmin or other GPS. The efforts required to operate the instruments require extensive training and review. In general, you should NEVER do anything more than change channels on the radio without pulling over. (If you want the most intuitive instrumentation, go with a Ford product (((no, I don't have one at the moment))) or any other choice.) We have tried two dealerships for service, and cannot recommend either. Yes, they are glamorous, but the execution of service is slow, and the knowledge of the service team is modest. For example, they don't even know the proper air pressure when asked. That's just sad. The car does draw many comments, and that's good for a chance to explain to curious onlookers that they see what we saw, but DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE. We own several cars, including domestics and exotics. This is the only car we own which I would never buy again.

Rented QX-80.....this site doesn't allow for extrapolation of review much, only give Poor/or/Great options. Drove 300 + miles in Colorado during rain and some snow...never used 4wd. Controls are not easily figured out, Power is strong with V8 but at top end is sketchy motor feel....might be Xmission...I suspect 5 or 6 speed transmission is troubling tech for Nissan as it had to search and kick up and down during hills inexplicably...Not a smooth acceleration during passing very often...more times than not had double shift on transmission during acceleration. Handles well...went thru Garden of Gods at low speed and, (for a big boat of a vehicle), it handled good. Nav/Camera/entertainment on one screen/Does turn off if you wish. Map would not get rid of mileage info..(maybe not enuf time to find right control ?), so it was less than useful. Entertainment system controls are NOT intuitive and took some getting used to. Very comfortable and handles 6 well. I would rent again, but Never buy...for 65K-70K I have higher expectations from a vehicle.
