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.

Do Not buy this SUV

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.

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.
