Elegant and classy brute

This is an imposing vehicle loaded with all the current technology at your fingertips. Despite its overall vehicle size, the 5.6 liter engine delivers some foreboding power and propels this flagship down the blacktop with some impressive numbers. Fuel efficiency is not the best, but that is the only downside. Massive trunk space and a real feeling of presence on the road delivers high levels of owner satisfaction at nearly all levels. Have no issues with this vehicles ability to corner or handle any road condition. Massive braking ability also lends large dollops of confidence it its performance characteristics and road sense. Cannot speak too highly of this luxury car. Delivers high levels of comfort from each seating position (love the second row Capt's chairs) and rear seated passengers are also well swamped with space and luxury features. If you can afford it this is the one to get, but with few available you also get a high level of owner exclusivity that few other models present.

Best riding car

Love the QX80 owned the Q 56 years ago and this is the new and much improved version. Rides so smooth and handles bumps and turns with ease. The cup holder infront doesn?t have a liner so you can?t put your change in it... but that?s not what it?s for so there really is nothing bad to say about this car.

Backdr

Traded my 2016 QX60 because I wanted more space and a better ride. QX80 did both along with many extra features we didn't have before. The seats are like sitting in a fine leather chair, soft and supportive.

QX80 Tops in Quality and Style

Like riding on a cloud!. Technology is state of the art with safety and convenience in mind. There is quick and ample power with this engine when needed. Unlike many competitors in this category the drive is remarkable for a frame that sits a bit higher (as the QX80 does). Elegance is enhanced with the blending of wood in the interior and the leather is plush but supportive for longer drives. The first and second rows provide plenty of room for legs and arms. There is a variety of options for the AWD and inclement weather travel. We loved the ease of transitioning from one to the other. Easy to use. The tow hitch is hidden discreetly with an easy to open option when needed. I especially appreciated having both the carpet floor mats and the vinyl mats since we have no carport at home. The only thing I would suggest for next models would be to get the 3rd row of seats to lie completely level when down.

This is the nicest car that I have ever owned.

This is a very nice luxury car. I was going to get an Denali until I drove this one. I love the smooth ride, the saddle interior color, the console in back, all the extra features. I love my new car. Will probably get another one in a couple more years!!!! I wish I could have gotten the color of interior that the premium had it was a dark chocolate color but I am happy with what I have!!!!

From '12 QX56 to '17 QX80

Traded in our 2012 QX56 which was purchased new for a new 2017. Honestly it's been a bit of a let down. Our 2012 QX was very nice, we put 88,000 miles on it before it was traded in. Reliability on it was not what we had hoped which was the main reason we traded it. The exterior of the QX is very beautiful, and when we purchased one in 2012 it was ahead of its time compared to other SUVs. It's 2017 now and the Infiniti QX80 has fallen behind. The 2017 drives much different from the 2012 which is very hard to understand given the car virtually did not change mechanically between 2012 and 2017. This car idles rough, engine knocks, acceleration is somewhat delayed and the car is much louder than our last. We got a great deal and didn't shop around before purchasing this one. It's a strikingly beautiful vehicle on the exterior but the inside could use some updating. I can't believe the interior of the future 2018 QX80 is not being changed. The car is comfortable and the safety features are very useful. My favorite features are the auto high beams (standard), the pre-collison system and warnings (optional in driver assistance package) and the automatic seat belt tensioners (optional on deluxe touring package). What I think could use some adjusting are the dashboard layout, speed of folding third row, sunroof size and I wish the third row was truly a fold-flat. Would consider trading in for a future model if the interior receives a major update and is modeled similar to the future 2019 QX50.

Huge Vehicle!

This car is more like a luxury tank than a car. It drives wonderful. I have long legs and I don't like feeling cramped while driving or riding. This vehicle has tons of leg room! I have the standard Bose speaker system. I like my music and the sound is great. The negatives are...It is expensive and the mileage is not so great.

Just purchased this car.

I like the size, technology options, power and comfort of the car. The ride is superior for a vehicle of this type and exceeds the ride of my previous Cadillac SUV.
