Cruise Control anomalies
We have owned this vehicle for 5 months now due to Covid only driven about 5000 miles. We have noticed that issue with the cruise control as described by others here. You'll be cruising at -say- 70 mph and the engine is just purring along at under 2000RPM. Then there is a slight incline in the road, and the gearbox kicks down two gears, the engine revs up to over 5000RPM! Only when the incline has passed will it return to normal. This is very odd and disconcerting, and the mechanic at the dealer felt the same. However, they were issued a directive by Infiniti stating : "This is normal operating characteristic of the vehicle that has been reported in multiple cases. No further diagnosis should be performed." So that's that, I guess. Otherwise it is a fine truck, if you can live with the size and fuel economy. The only other niggle I have is that the fuel gauge will indicate empty and when you fill up it takes just 20 gallons. Spec sheet says the size of the fuel tank is 26, so it signals empty with 6 gallons left in the tank.

Excellent vehicle
The drive is superior, all the functions work very well. I have a limited trim and it looks very nice on the road. I will replace wit the same brand later once more technology is available.

TERRIBLE Driving Position!!!
I truly love most things about his vehicle! My family of 6 had owned 4 of these since it’s been called the the QX80…thanks to the employee lease option. However, as a 5’ 9” average-sized male, I CAN NOT GET COMFORTABLE at all in the driver’s seat!!! The armrest is too low to provide ANY support. The seats won’t adjust low enough for my arms to touch either armrest (center OR on the door). Consequently, my arms and shoulders get extremely fatigued from being suspended in mid-air while driving. This is especially noticeable on longer road trips. So, the driver’s seat is the worst seat in the whole vehicle!! Minor tweaks have been made to the interior and exterior styling over the years. However, this uncomfortable, too high driver’s seat has remained…for years!! Simple solution…allow the driver’s seat to be lowered more AND allow the steering wheel to be adjusted so that it’s closer to the driver. Then, this would be a REALLY NICE vehicle. Lastly, offering a more fuel efficient engine would be a GREAT option too. Getting a combined 13 MPG gets very expensive!! I personally don’t need the engine’s towing capabilities. I mostly drive on interstate…and NEVER tow anything. So, a powerful turbo or electric hybrid that keeps the vehicles great power, but give more MPG would really be nice!! However, I would still love it more even with it getting 13 MPG, IF the driver’s seat was more comfortable. Otherwise, it’s really a great spacious family hauler!!

Buy an Armada instead
This suv is very luxurious and really nice inside, but it is based on a 10 year old platform. That being said it feels somewhat cheap and not much different from a Nissan. I only had this car for a weekend as a rental, and don’t get me wrong, it’s very comfortable, but in the long run I would not love it. Even though I had the base model Luxe, I was surprised at some features it lacked. Some include air conditioned seats, heated rear seats, an entertainment system, and a pretty standard audio system. I am being a little nit picky, but a $70,000 suv should have more than it does. My 2007 Acura has better sound, and you could get air conditioned seats on a Tahoe ten years ago. Overall, I like the QX80, but there are some areas it could be improved. You may as well save $30k and get an armada instead.

Rough around the edges
We bought one of these new. Nice looking car and nice interior. Great in snow and easy to drive at high speed for the size. However, after owning the car for two years we traded it in. There are some design features in this car that make you scratch your head. Here's a list: 1. Cruise control is absolute garbage. You hit a slight incline and the thing downshifts and redlines immediately. It's a joke. 2. The seats are very slightly pitched forward and very uncomfortable after about an hour. You cannot nestle in to these seats and get comfortable. 3. Why are the third row power seats so slow to move up and down? And there is no stop point to indicate they have been reclined back to a normal sitting position. 4. There is some sort of known issue on these that prevents the battery from fully charging. So in the case of a lot of quick trips, at times the battery won't be charged enough to start the car Our brand new car left my wife stranded on several occasions. 5. The door panels are made out if very thin metal. Ding and nick very easily.
