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.

Car is great overall however the Infinity QX80 does not hold its value and expect To take a huge loss if you plan on selling you're used QX80. I bought mine a little over 1-year ago with a sticker price of 81K and now 1-year later it's valued at 48K, a 30K + drop in 1-year. I will never buy a Infinity again

Qx80 backup camera Disappointment

My review is negative because of the car quality not the overall company because I had a great experience with the local dealer here. I'm very disappointed with the QX80 2018: Quality of the backup camera and the 360 degrees cameras, this is by far the worst quality of cameras in the car market! It looks like a camera from 10 years ago. The car also love gas too much, I'm averaging 11 miles in the city and 13.5 in the highway, I had big engine cars all my life and this car is the worst in that department. You would expect when you pay over 75k for a car with normal backup camera, that's my biggest complaint with the car!!! At night you can’t even see anything.

I highly recommend buying used with lower miles. We picked up the highest trim level. The Limited has everything they offer plus special items that only the limited gets. We saved over $55,000 over the retail cost. Sticker price was $90k. Ride, styling and build are solid.

2 Day Drive to the Mountains

Rented this car for a 2 day mountain trip. When I first stepped into the car, the traction control off light was on. The car also shifts really weird in Auto, 4H or 4L modes. It either jerks you right off your seat when you step on it or shifts too quickly to where you can feel the automatic transmission shifting 5x in one second. Brakes were also difficult to control as the downshifting also made the car jerk as it is slowing down. Car reached 5200rpm at 72 mph, with a redline at about 6200rpm, which made me afraid to push the car any harder as I was afraid it might blow up at a higher speed. This big SUV also loves to guzzle gas and we were down to a quarter of a tank after 2.5 hr drive. The visibility to the outside was good and it was comfortable for passengers not in the back row, but the interior was kind of small considering the huge size of the car. Barely able to fit 6 adults with luggage. HVAC is finickly and seems to be "hunting" the correct setpoint temperature as you get frequent waves of hot air followed by cold air without touching the controls.
