Does not hold Value

We bought a 2016 QX80 loaded as possible just below the Limited version, price range around 80,000 - 90,000. In less than 1 year the vehicle is now worth 40,000-50,000. Infiniti's large SUV does not hold their value. We were sold on it being an elite luxury vehicle, very fast realized it does not hold a candle to our prior SUV. We regret buying this vehicle and feel stuck because how fast it is losing money. 1 yr update, still stuck because how far upside down we are.
Bought the "best" and am disappointed

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 (We were so disappointed in the Lincoln-- it seemed 20 years out of date.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.
Stellar Japanese build quality

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.
