Should I Buy the 2024 Infiniti QX80?
The QX80 is upscale, powerful and comfortable, and it offers solid towing capability. The third row is a little cozy for adults, however, and while cargo space behind the third row may be fine for routine errands, it could be tight for long-distance family road trips. The V-8 engine delivers a lot of grunt, but it also uses a lot of gas. The QX80’s aged basic design dates all the way back to the 2011 model year. It feels behind the times in many ways, but good deals may be available given a redesigned 2025 model is on the horizon.
