Getting my mother into a new SUV
Trying to get my mother out of 10-year-old navigator and enter her first Infiniti. She needs a vehicle at her age that she can keep inside the garage and the navigator just doesn’t do it. We looked at the 2024 in Infiniti QX 80 and saw that the new 2025 model was coming out. She fell in love with it. It looks like it’s gonna be able to fit in her garage. Andreas was amazing going over all the features. My mother doesn’t really drive that far except to the store and sometimes downtown with her friends. I’m about once a year she likes to go to Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby and all I can think about is safety.

Not worth the money
Although the QX80 is a nice car, I am not impressed with it. After spending over $80000 on it I would think there would be more features, better ride, and would hold value a lot better. For basically the same cost you can get a Yukon Denali and Chevrolet Tahoe High Country fully loaded. These also hold their value very well.

Questionable SUV
I got this vehicle as a loaner while my Suburban is in body shop. Well, there are couple of good things about this vehicle and bunch that I wasn't too crazy about. First is when you open the door and release door handle, the door makes this hollow tin can noise like in 20K car. Then you step on the running board and it bends under your weight. I'm only 185#. I can only imagine that 300# guy will steep on it and rip it off 😒 Buttons and some controls aren't as intuitive as BMW, MB or Suburban. Driving quality is okay for the most part but if you hit a pothole, rear end will bounce and step sideways slightly. I don't think it's acceptable for a vehicle in this price range. Touch screens take 2-3 touches to activate, change channels or use climate control. My wife's previous lexus had way better touch screen. Other thing that really bugs me is the small gas tank... You will barely get over 200 miles on 3/4 of the tank with 4 people in the vehicle and nothing in tow. I know, you don't buy this rig to worry about gas mileage but come on, my previous GL had this consumption towing 6000# trailer. This thing barely gets over 13mpg on the highway keeping up with traffic. My '16 Suburban gets 19mpg on the highway all day long and I can drive for 600 miles on a tank of gas on the highway. With QX you will be stopping every 300 miles. I don't know but some people like captain seats in 2nd row. Not my thing at all, you can't fit long item because it sticks out when you fold second row. The transmission feels like CVT and its doesn't have good solid feel to it. So, in the end I'm glad I experienced this vehicle and now know that I will not consider it, ever. You will get better vehicle with GL/GLS, even Tahoe/Burban is better.

Had this as a rental for a month
I have put over 4,000 miles on this car. Nice vehicle. What stands out is the comfort, except for the climate control. I can never seem to get a constant comfortable temperature. The handling I think is superb much better than I expected. I’ve had BMWs for 20 years and F250s 4x4s for almost the same time so I know both well. handles pretty good compared to a teal truck. The handling and breaking great. A big except which was mentioned in a prior review for some reason if you hit some bumps this car is out of control. It comes back under control but you find yourself thinking is it really going to happen. Now for mileage. My F250 four-wheel-drive diesel gets about the same mileage. But it’s not that bad of a car but not for this price. The CarPlay touch and go but it’s the same way on my BMWs. That comfort is better than a BMW. Strong brakes. Just don’t hit a bump. It’s been a great rental but I would never buy one.

Beware Perspective Infiniti QX buyers
● There is a major defect in the Infiniti QX80, and as far as I know, all Infiniti automobiles. ● The company has confirmed that despite a price tag of almost $90,000 for the new 2025 QX80 large SUV, this defect still exists. ● While the company maintains this is not a defect, make no mistake it is. ● The defect in all these cars is that the hands-free phone feature in the car only picks up the driver's voice while the front seat passengers and others in the vehicle can barely be heard. ● Thus, any conversation in the vehicle involving more than the driver cannot be conducted clearly and safely. ● All other major luxury cars have figured this out with ease ● What is most remarkable is that the company is well aware of this design defect, rendering hands free driving often useless, while compromising safety, and went ahead and manufactured its brand-new series with the same flaw. ● What is also remarkable is that the company refuses to provide any factory recommended fix for this issue, and completely stonewalls the fact that it is an issue at all, despite this not being a feature defect in any other major luxury car. ● Any prospective buyer should be aware that this creates a major nuisance and safety problem since hands free bluetooth phone reception is, among other things, an important safety feature. ● Buyer beware of this significant defect.
