Great overall SUV

Great SUV, I've owned Mercedes, Escalate, BMW and a Tahoe, by far this one is the best I've own. Gas is what you expect from a large 400HP engine, but no complaints from me. Real confortable and easy to drive around town, and it doesn't feel big at all.

I love the way it drives and feels. Cruise control has been a little complicated to figure out and some controls but love it overall.

This is our first QX80 and we LOVE it! We bought the limited and it has all the bells and whistles. It is truely a luxury vehicle. We have owned lincoln and lexus full sized SUV's and the QX80 is by far the best. The ride and styling are superior.

Front wheel bearings went bad on my 2016 at only 7 years old and 44k miles, which is unheard of for regular use. $1200+ to replace. Cruise control is jerky. Transmission makes some loud noises when shifting into gear. Infotainment is horrible, never know when it will connect to my phone, sometimes it surprises me and works. Powerful and thirsty, gets 10mpg city.

No repairs needed since new.

The window sticker was just below $90,000, so it was not inexpensive. The handling and traction in northern NY is as good as it gets. The ride quality is a little rough, but in return you get excellent road handling for a 6000 lb. vehicle. Nothing has ever needed repair now up to 37,000 miles. We replaced the windshield wipers. Bought 4 new tires at 34,999 miles, $1,200. We only get about 17 MPG on highway at 70 MPH, and 15 MPG around our rural area. The drivers controls are rather odd to a person used to American cars like us, making it quite difficult to figure things out like how to turn on the windshield wipers, use the navigation aid system, etc. Some of the controls, like the heat/air controls for the seats, are very hard to read. The port for a thumb drive is located in a compartment too short , requiring a special short length thumb drive. The rear storage with the 3rd row seats down is not flat. To use the tow hitch, you must remove a plastic panel, leaving an extremely ungainly gaping hole. The seat upholstery is the best we have seen and all the interior roof, side, pillars etc. are covered in what appears to be suede leather.Very nice, very classy. The comfort of long trips (we drive 1300 miles to Florida) is outstanding, one of the best we ever experienced. Highway driving is effortless and very quiet. Overall, we love this SUV and would definitely buy another QX 80 in a couple more years. This is only our second foreign car and we are very positively impressed.
