2023 INFINITI QX80 SENSORY 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

Wow… after both positive and negative reviews I purchased a 2023 QX80. I am so regretting my decision. With 600 miles showing on the odometer- took a road trip. Big mistake, huge mistake. My car broke down at 1.235 miles. They kept telling me it went into limp mode: turn it off, let it set a few and restart it. This will fix the problem. Wrong! Had to do this 5 times, finally just drove the last 19 miles at 20 mph - would not go any faster. 1) at 1,235 miles, should not have broken down. 2) no one, to this day- can tell me what was messed up or why…if I could get out of this - I would. I will never trust this car again, nor would I ever recommend anyone getting it.

Qx56 2011 built for comfort

I purchased my 2011 QX56 as a used vehicle. This was my 1st Infiniti and I generally enjoyed all it has to offer. The only problem I have with this SUV is the battery drain. If the vehicle sits for 3-4 days without a start, the battery is dead! I've taken the vehicle to the dealer in CT, but they can't find a problem. However, the owner's manual does suggest that the battery will drain if the navigation system is not turned off. ( if the suv is off, doesnt everything turn off?) The problem, there's no option to turn it completely off. You can only turn off the screen, but the system is still running. I'm interested in purchasing the QX 80, but I hope they've fixed the battery drain problem!

2021 INFINITI QX80 PREMIUM SELECT 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

Had this vehicle for about 11,000 miles, 5,200 of that was 1 road trip. Performance there is none other than a strong motor and smooth transmission. Handling it feels likes it is going to roll over just taking corners at recommended speeds because it is so top heavy (3-star rollover rating). The ride quality is very smooth until the road gets rough, and it is almost scary to drive. With hard bumps the wheels bounce so hard the wheel loses contact with the road. Makes for a very unpredictable ride especially when cornering. Interior is very nice and very comfortable, except for the HVAC control of the vehicle. You are never comfortable on auto because the fan is always blowing too hard. You are constantly messing with it to stay comfortable. The electronics is by far the worst I have ever encountered. The Apple Car Play can be hit or miss sometimes and the technology in the infotainment system is adequate at best. It is very slow on startup and sometime takes several seconds to start working. Then there are the sometimes-confusing double touch screens. Both sharing in the same control sometimes and very cumbersome to navigate thought the different options and controls. It's almost like there is too much to it. Storage is great as there is a lot, but the back of the vehicle is not flat, it is slopped towards the back of the vehicle, so on long road trips with lots of things stored everything falls back towards the hatch so evetime you stop to get something stuff falls out. Then there is the 3rd row seats. If you have a lot of extra time on your hands these seats are great. Very slow to open and close. Now there is the gas mileage. Now I know what you are saying you don't by this vehicle for the mileage but let's be somewhat realistic. Maybe 8 MPG in town and 14 on the highway. This is 2021 and there is no efficiency built into the motor. No cylinder deactivation no nothing. So, if you like a lot of power and torque and don't mind $100 every time you fill up this is a great vehicle for you. Last the 4-wheel drive. All I have to say is buy some good winter tires if you plan on driving in snowy conditions. With the factory all seasons on this vehicle it will scare you in the winter. Had a chance to drive this in several heavy snowstorms here in CO and it is not my choice for that at all. Needless today I traded this in, in less then 7 months. There is no possible way this vehicle warrants this price tag for 80 k you should be blown away, feel safe with your family in it and I was not at all with this vehicle.

We’ve had this 2023 sensory trim 4wd model 8 months and use it for our traveling vehicle. It’s super ch comfortable to drive and ride in. Very spacious. Now, I knew when I bought it the model was going to change. As an over the road car and not a daily driver gas mileage is not a great concern. Speed will surprise you so be careful. So pros: roomy, comfortable and powerful. Cons: controls are somewhat counter intuitive. It has old aesthetics. Entertainment system in the rear is hard to use.

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!!
