The tip concerning grape crop success reinforces why you’re one of the best car review guys out there. Nobody wants to be bored, your engagement & personality is top-notch.
Thanks your for taking the time to say that! I try to go beyond expectations.
Send me ur address I wanna send an apple 😂
Without a doubt… Joe all day everyday 💪🏿
Feels very genuine. Not awkward or forced. Love your channel!
Joe you make watching car reviews so much fun and entertaining keep up the good work ❤
Took the wife's QX60 in for service last week and saw a 2025 QX80 "Demo" on display. Infinit really hit a home run with this modern slick 2025 QX80.
I am so glad that you are digging it!
I agree, except that 407 inch long screen iPad dash is terrible. QX80/Armada buyers are like Landcruiser/LX/Sequioa buyers. They want reliability, durability, ease of use, and short turn times at the shop if it needs a repair. The tablet dashes will be hell if they have an issue.
The price will dropped like Black Friday in a year of ownership.
I was looking for the rear entertainment. Beautiful vehicle no doubt. I'm gonna wait a few years for them to work the kinks out bc all new designs come with their fair share
@@andyeighttre nah it looks amazing and well designed, it's not like just a big screen, it's designed into the dashboard so it looks better than BMW or other brands.
Wow, QX80 answered all questions that were posed to them. About luxury, gas milage, digital upgrades. And a more roomy third row. Very impressive. I have to say this is the new King of SUV's. I want one!!!! Good review!!!!
This has been my most anticipated review of the QX80 so far!
Oh wow! That is so really nice of you to say!
Not even in the Second min of a video, and I can already say this car looks great af... Thank you Raiti !
You are so very welcome!
Bro it sure does doesn’t it am definitely thinking hard about getting this for my family hopefully in a year time . Gid willing.
Every time you drop a video off before it even starts, I hit the like button because your content is always on point and 100% accurate! Thanks for all you do Joe!
I can’t do it without you! Thanks for having my back.
Talk about transformation and here is QX80.
This jumbo SUV is too Handsome.
It took a while but they did it right!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ quá tuyệt
I love the humor you incorporate into the reviews!!! Keep it up, you’re awesome!!!
Great review. However, regarding the reclining feature in the 3rd row (20:55) the Lincoln Navigator had the 3rd row power reclining feature since 2020.
Raiti is the only tester that actually gets to drive this car!
Some early morning on throttle action from Raiti's Rides I'm here for it thank you Joe and Lori as always!
Thanks Bryan for taking a ride with!
Lori is the absolute best! This Infiniti is almost as beautiful as her work.😊 Glad to see Infiniti has finally gotten back to its roots.
You are so right Don!
Automatic it’s nice suv I wish infinity listen
Patiently waited for THIS MAN to talk about this engine, and do the 0-60 experience.
Fantastic! I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Raitis is one of the BEST reviewers online today.Engaging,thorough,funny.Love this guy!
There is so much ground to cover when reviewing these new cars. Impressive how good of a job Joe does in covering all that ground. I think I do like the running boards that go up and then down on the Lincoln Navigator more.
Thanks for having my back Mickey!
Mickey from Enes tours, is that you?)😂😂😂
A giant ❤
Looks better than the NAVIGATOR and THE JEEP WAG
I totally agree with you!
For sure 🎉love this look way better !!!
It's amazing how many details other reviewers miss compared to Raiti's Rides. You guys are flawless. Most others don't even touch on the fact that the chassis itself is improved.
Never a dull moment with Joe. Thank you and Lori for what y’all do 👍🏿
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! THE FIRST DRIVE OF THIS THING!
I hope it has been worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides IT WAS WORTH IT!!!
Giant Homer Simpson Box on wheels 😂😂😂😂
I have a QX60 and love it. Been closely following the 80 redesign. Overall i like it. I feel maybe the wheels could be a little larger for the wheel wells? I dunno, something looks off. I wish the QX60 had a 450hp motor, it would be way more fun! Nice review btw, i watch all your stuff.
The stationary running boards look good and the power ones always break with age , love no exposed wiper & LED lighting . Power is impressive !! And tech is awesome ….
Yes of course and I will buy this beauty 1 day.
I can see you in this one.
Hey Joe, I think this Infiniti QX80 officially puts the Escalade on notice. My favorite design question would be those piano 🎹 black key designs in the lights. It's so great I think even the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, would be impressed.
"Sing us a song, you're the piano man,
sing us a song tonight."
" Well, we're all in the mood for Infiniti, and this QX80's looking alright" 👌
You nailed it on this comment Chris!
NAAAW!!!!!!!! Cadillac has a V8 AND it rides extremely well too!!!! They need a V8 if they want to run with Cadillac!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping a V8 model is in the near future. I was so pissed when Ford took away the V8 in their full size SUV!!!!
This is for people that can’t afford an Escalade. And don’t know how whack Nissan is yet
Gtfoh !!! $110k can get you in any Caddy without a V in its name.
Then again, no new American car is worth that kind of coin. I say this as an American who has owned “dozens” of domestic and foreign cars over the years. Quality is no longer a priority to the Big 3. Just look in their service departments. . . They’re completely filled up with repairs and recalls. Quantity of sales is their main concern and it really shows.
Joe, This QX80 or Yukon Denali Ultimate?
Joe, you're da best car reviewer on TH-cam!!! Keep the videos coming! Thank you!
This or the Lincoln Navigator?! No contest, this new QX80 all day every day.
Thanks for your vote!
Older lincoln navigator is better it has the v8 engine and it also has air ride suspension
@@theshield1613 I’m afraid no Lincoln does it for me especially with their design language. And I don’t need a V8 especially if a V6 has more power/torque thanks to turbo/hybrid set up
@@dsell37 each there own but v6 turbos don't last in general compared to a non turbo engine
Always thought Infiniti always looked dated on the interior. This QX80 is amazing. Stunning, Great review!
Yeah Raiti, the gloss black has got to go in all cars ! It leaves finger prints and I don’t understand why they all use it.
I have the Navigator with the auto-out running boards, and a 2020 QX80 with stationary running boards…. The auto out runn8ng boards are a pain in the sphincter in the winter as ice and snow jams them up…I just keep them out, though there is risk in hitting objects.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
Well done on the review, have watched it over 6t times now . If all the finances aligns - might actually buy it.
By far and without a doubt, Joe is the best car reviewer out there. I watch your reviews every chance I get, especially while driving long distance. Keep'em coming Mr. Raiti!
I have compared this to the X7 & Escalade and i cant believe this blows those out of water. Looks leaps ahead in future
I have a Qx60 infinity 2018 what I want to know from your video dose the 2025 Qx80 have driver assistance to stop so you won’t hit anything and dose it slow you down if your driving pass the speed limit. I love the infinity it stand out
I’m glad Infiniti is making a come back finally. They obviously jacked up the price but it seems justified with all the luxuries and next gen techs it comes with.
Does it have different drive modes like Sport and Snow?
Jumbo luxury………looks very comfy. Didn’t know iPhone 47 was out ! Gotta go get one 🙃
Better get in line Tom! First you need this QX80 though. LOL
I love this SUV and I have been an Infiniti fan for I drive the qx 80 2021. I need this for real.
Has Nissan commented on what sort of 4wd this has? Does it have a center locking diff? Rear locker option? Is it just AWD. Does it have Hi/Lo range transfer case? No writeup has had any info on this.
That is a great question! We will find out!
I am 2019 Navigator owner and I could say this Qx80 is sounding better than Navigator
Handsome SUV, but how will a twin turbo 6 hold up vs the V8 long term?
As long as the Nissan team didn’t hire the same engineers in charge of the Toyota TTV6 bearing debacle, we should be good.
Ik friends with the VR setup but you must must change that oil. They change there own oil at 3,500 miles full synthetic and they run excellent.
@@JDMFR3AK Absolutely. The lesson from multiple sources across multiple brands is that for newer turbocharged engines, the oil change interval needs to be 5,000 miles max.
That is the million dollar question!
That’s our concern too??? Long term and sooo much that might glitch in that panel !!! Yikes !?
Where do u put your elbow when cup holder is open
This vehicle is a BEAST!!!
Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.
Man if they put this in the Nissan titan, this could have been a seller. Those numbers are very impressive
Screw that…let’s put it in the Frontier
Maybe it will be coming?
Now we are talking!
The 2025 Nissan murano looks similar to this!
I’m curious how you would compare this vehicle with a grand wagoneer series III. I’m going back and forth between the two, I can’t decide. I love watching your videos, they’re so informative.
Even though this SUV is expensive, remember you are getting a lot of nice touches and features for this full-size SUV. Yes this thing is able to compete with the lincoln Navigator😁 and other full-size SUVs
That is a very good way to look at it!
Do they have directions displayed on front? Head up display
be nice if you noted what rpm it is sitting on when doing 60mph and 70mph. get an idea of the 9 gears spread. what speeds does it drop in to 7th, 8th, 9th gear
I always like how JR uses food for storage space references.
Hey Joe, is there more legroom, room for the driver compared to the Lincoln and the outgoing QX 2024?
The Lincoln has very comfortable seats with lots of legroom and the gas pedal and brake move up and down for four taller people and shorter people .
Is there no option for entertainment screens in the second row?
No there is. This one did not have it.
@@RaitisRides okay good. I CANNOT enjoy my Twinkie on the road without watching my favorite show
@13:33 iPhone 47 Platinum edition. Why did I bust out laughing when I heard that lmfaoooooooo
I would like to thank you and the camera lady as well for this professionalism
Y no screens on the headrest 2020 QX80 have some
The fact I found another video of a 2025 qx80 review, saw it was a vehicle I hadn’t seen before & I IMMEDIATELY IMMEEEDIATELY typed in “ Raiti’s Rides 2025 qx80” cause I’ma Raiti’s Rides MAN 😎 TILL THE DAY I DIE & THE ROOM STANK 🫡❤️🔥
Great review! What is the glossy thing with the 2 red lights that is behind the steering wheel in front of the gauges?
It is for the pro-pilot assist to make sure you are focusing forward on the road!
Wow that twin turbo V6 sounds absolutely amazing bro
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Umm.. you do know it is mostly synthetic sound?
Wow!!! This Infiniti QX80 is amazing. That Infotainment System is so innovative. The Design and Luxury finishes. The Performance. The Seats. This design is literally about 4 years ahead of Lexus. Honestly 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Before the pandemic these cars were going for 50 to 70 dollars but now over 100k is crazy
The base use to start at 64k and topped out at about 91k. They did add in so much more to this one to justify the price. If u havent noticed, nearly all cars are more expensive every year, its inflation and them adding more to their cars.
It’s like pricing jumped leap year’s ahead and left the consumer’s behind. My first house didn’t cost that much
Things have changed!
Car prices are out of touch nowadays. Before you know it, we'll be riding bikes like the Chinese. 😂😂😂😂😂
So you mentioned two speed transfer case ? But I don’t think there’s a low 4x4 is there ? Also I had an infinite fx35 and hated the AWD because it was rear wheel bias and would spin out on corners on winter slippery roads , so is the WX80 AWD or 4x4 ? And if it’s AWD Is it rear wheel bias or 50/50 like a Lexus ?
What color is that vehicle. I am seriously looking at one and I love that color. Great review by the way.
Been waiting for this one. My only concern is the gear buttons. I’m not a dog owner but I know there will be atleast one person who has their dog riding shotgun, and what if the puppy steps on the park button when you’re going 70mph?
The system will not go into park. The car must be at a. complete stop to change gears.
What would you do if all screens stop working??¿? How much is that gonna cost out of warranty???
Gotta zonk the push button transmission controls.. Other than that I'm very interested and impressed with this vehicle
Joe as always, another great review video (thank you!), and the apple thing for the teachers was just hilarious!
Greetings from Costa Rica!
Was really hoping to get to hear that sound system. This looks like a really well built comfortable ride all in all though.
Home run! Infiniti large and in charge.
They really did nail it!
@Raitisrides
Lincoln navigator does have the last row reclining option
WOW!!! I've been checking out your videos to find my perfect next SUV and narrowed it down to the Genesis GV80 and BMW X5 (leaning towards the Genesis) and you hit me with this???!!! Beautiful vehicle and I may have just changed my mind and found my new baby ❤❤❤
How is it when compared to the Grand Wagoneer though Joe?
Great job as usual my friend ❤Lori has the best camera skills in the business!!❤
Love it!! I'd love to have the Infiniti QX80 and the Navigator.
This is a very impressive upgrade! This one will definitely win over former Escalade and Navigator owners looking to trade up
Hopefully they update the whole fleet because this looks really good.
Absolutely 💯
It is coming soon!
You got that right!
What a great looking truck! Infiniti out did themselves. Thanks for the review Raiti's Rides!
That's probably the best handling full size suv I've seen you drive in pov. Super planted. Didn't look like it had any body roll really. And transmission didn't drop a rev one time.
The stationary running boards are good, I had retractable running boards on my Escalade and it was terrible
1700 to replace them,,smh
Cosmetically its amazing but what happens when all the screens start going out?
This SUV is so damn awesome. I love it. I need to get one.
I can't argiu that.
Does it have a sister Armada trim? Comparison video.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That’s my question too.
I hope we see this engine trickle down to the Q50 and Z 😊
I just love this vehicle not a problem at all with all the new tech features it comes with and more HP and TP as well wow if I will get and choose I wouldn’t mind picking this over the Navigator only thing will be for me is the Cargo space but I think I can manage that. But design is beautiful and for a person with a huge size family this is definitely 👍🏾
They did a great job with dash and infotainment setup
Is there a plug-in hybrid option?
Excellent review, as usual. I am picking up my Signature Edition in dynamic metal on 9/3/24. However, you should really think about changing your diet. If so, you'll be able to give excellent reviews for a lot longer. LOL
I didn't know Klipsch makes car audio. Very nice touch. The lack of exhaust tips out the back is a zonk for me. The stationary running board is fine but for the money it should be powered. The interior is top shelf although I wish they wouldn't use flat panel screens for instrument display. The pumped in sound is a zonk. I hope that some of these modern touches are just a weird phase in the automotive world. Still a beautiful SUV but way too expensive for my taste. I would be fine with the CX-90 over this.
love that two tone color. Those wheels really pop. I prefer the automatic running board on any luxury SUV.
Now this is how you do interior design. This interior is 🔥
Thank you for such an awesome review you and your team always kill it… I am expecting delivery of a white two tone “Autograph” edition mid next month super excited chose this insanely handsome machine over Escalade/ Navigator with absolutely no regrets
not looking back LOL! 😎👍🏻
You are going to love it for sure!
Great job, Infiniti .... The new QX80 is killing all of its competitors..Lexus LX & GX, Jeep W, L. Navigator, C. Escalade, BMW X7, Mercedes, etc. Plus, it's probably going to be more reliable than the American Brands and Germans, and it won't break you at the bank for innovative tech and features. $112, 000 is not bad compared to the Germans.
112k is bad for a Debaged Nissan! Not worth it!
Awesome 👌 Video. Thank 😊 You. 😊
You are so very welcome!
Are there power shades for all windows?.
No they are not
I'd pick Nissan over Ford anytime. However the twin turbos, giant screens, new 9 speed trans, etc makes me wonder about long term reliability.
Thanks for your vote!
Beautiful job 💪🏼always look forward Raiti for you review!!! You’re the first one I think reviewing this car. Can’t find it anywhere in California yet 😢not that we’re ready to buy it… going to wait for hopefully a used one … I love the redesign. I’m just concerned with longevity 😮??
oh myyyyyy..... quite possibly the best looking SUV i have ever seen (in my eyes) Good job Nissan
It’s an amazing new direction for Nissan/Infiniti but an 80k starting price is CRAZY
What do you think the price should be Ethan?
@@RaitisRides for a product in this range I feel like a base model should be around $60k from a brand like this. I’m pretty sure the x7 and GLS base price is close to this
I loved the review. Thanks. I have a 2023 QX60 Autograph. It’s really nice, but I love a big SUV. I never considered Nissan/Infiniti until I rented an Armada while on vacation, I was pleasantly surprised.
@@ethangaskillit's reasonable for all they packed in there.
Is there an option to turn off the pumped in sound??
I go to Napa all the time I live in the Bay Area it's so beautiful out there!! not to mention I'm a Infiniti fan so this is beautiful as well and I spelled it with a i😂🎉🎉🎉 like I said I stopped watching Doug when I started watching you
I appreciate you having my back, It really means a lot!
Finally! The review I bin waiting for this is the SUV.
I hope it was worth the wait!
Yeah i ❤ this two idk which one they're both nice
