I think you may be right!

I like QX80 right now over anything out there. They've heard everyone pitching that their v8 wasn't efficient enough. Now they addressed that too. And their third row more roomier, are specious. And they addressed it wonderfully. And also panderamic sunroof which everyone made a big deal about been addressed. And most of all the technology has been the most wonderful step forward to me. They've took a giant leap forward, too. The suspension been addressed as well. Fuel economy been addressed. Along with tranmission from a seven speed to a nine. Twin turbocharged v6 3.5 liter 450 horse power. And 516 lb-ft. Winners hand. I'd buy one immediately.

Some more cool info about the QX80 to people who dont know. The engine is from the same family (per their own words) as the GT-R engine which we all know is bombproof, but with this new engine they have 15 years of technological advancement. I´m sure they have learned a thing or two to improve it. The 9-speed is also from the G-Wagon Mercedes which JATCO has a license to manufacture from Mercedes. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more reliable as this is their halo model. People often forget (especially the US) that this car is the ultimate off-roader. It is a luxury version of the Nissan Patrol/Armada which is probably the best long distance off-road vehicle along with the Landcruiser. but this... Nissan/Infinity just took it up not one but two notches. They absolutely killed it. This is gonna sell like hot cakes

@@MercOne Ford Crown Victoria (Crown Vic) has an optional air ride suspension system that uses sensors mounted to the body and axle to detect ride height. The system raises the vehicle, and the voltage output decreases. The airbags have solenoids mounted to the side that allow the bladder to either vent or fill. All Crown Vics with air ride equipment have a switch in the trunk on the left to deactivate the system. This switch should be turned to the OFF position if you are servicing the system or lifting the vehicle.

Not gonna lie, very impressive! It took them a while but man that interior is unmatched. A bit skeptic about the absence of a V8 though...looking forward to your test drive!

They absolutely killed it. Knocked it out of the park. The design, interior, exterior, the technology and equipment. Don´t forget that this is basically the Nissan Patrol/Armada. The best off-road vehicle along with the LandCruiser series. But this... upgrade. This is way more substanstial than what Toyota did with the LX600/LC300 series.

Joe i have a question, would you consider accessorizing a vehicle an accessory or a mod? I thought a suspension change, adding a turbo/supercharger would be a modification. Not a sticker, tint, silly looking grab handle add-on. Love your channel reviews (especially many Twinkie references).

Can't wait to see the other trims ❤

Most beautiful SUV I have seen in a long time, would most likely buy this over an escalade and especially a Jeep.

Not going to lie, the new Chevy and Cadillac line ups are very good. Uncertain on reliability but man are they some really good big family haulers.

Joe and the team always bring top quality.

Hey, joe this is a beautiful SUV, however lets see how this SUV compares to the 2025 Cadillac escalade IQ, wow.lol.

I feel that this combines the best from all the major SUVs out there: It has the exterior and interior beauty of the Grand Wagoneer and Escalade but a lot more reliable. It has the reliability (hopefully) but packaged in a much more elegant design than a boring Lexus LX. For me, it's a winner. The only question is whether it is reliable as a Lexus.

Very nice design. For me i would take this one over the Escalade. 100 us not to shabby. But i agree with the earlier comments then i mean all cars should be priced cheaper.

Joe, I see x7 makes sense with similar price and Great brand image.

Glad to see the upgrade, it was long overdue. I think it looks better than the Lexus LX with few CONs that would probably would be a deal breaker for me: touch controls for ac and modes, use of piano black near areas of contact (it even looks likable a dust catcher in some pictures), and the shifter buttons look like they belong on a Sentra, no on an Infinity benchmark. Lastly, I don’t think an SUV needs these fancy door handlers, specially one that looks intended for offroad.

I heard from an auto review channel, they said the ARMANA is one of the best selling most reliable large SUV's across the international market. so I think the QX80 is an excellent choice. TONY MACARONI

Looked at a Mercedes E class and thats when I found out the difference in feel, drive, solidness, and other things.. the infiniti was certainly no E class.. But it wasnt as much money as well.. I like the QX80, too massive for me, not sure why other than for business reasons or specifically needing to fill it with things that anyone would ever need something this huge.. But I am sure one of my neighbors will have one to drive little Sally to school every morning..

Is the 9 speed transmission really a zf unit, or is it the nissan-manufactured Mercedes 9-speed used in other Nissan products already?

100,00$ Not bad!

Hope they still offer rear entertainment...

Really liking this! Huge redesign inside and out. Pricey, yes! But I would take this over anything with Tesla in the name any day!

For price and reliability I would definitely take this cheaper and I know would last me 10 years or more I don't have money but saying if one day god will and I do well I do love this truck and previews ones too
