My dad rented a 2020 Infiniti QX80 during late October and earlier November and he didn’t really like it that much and honestly, even though it is an outdated SUV, I like the looks of it and horsepower wise, it didn’t really matter because the looks are so gorgeous regardless of how outdated it is
Great video. I have a 2023 Armada Platnum & absolutely HATE the infotainment system! FYI...to get the map to show full screen & get rid of the split just double push the map voice button by the gear shift.
Just traded my 2011 platinum for a 2023 platinum. Wished rear glass would pop open independently. This infotainment system is better than the 2011 but could be a lot better. Thank you for that tip.
Interesting most reviewers found the steering light, also you didn’t mention the HBMC that only the QX80 has (not available in Armada) most folk consider that a game changer for how different the two vehicles handle - QX can ride corners flat, Armada rolls on the same corner - happy to hear your thoughts
Agreed my petite 110lbs wife has the Platinum and loves it, it is an upgraded version of her favorite SUV (desert runner, in the UAE) the Patrol. And she's never complained about heavy steering..
All the things you like about the 'new' sequoia will be a drag later. And I'm a Toyota fan boy. Old school tech will be sought after soon. Btw, give some love to that magnificent V8.
Whoever spends that range of money, won't even need to think about saving a few grand. Infiniti is far premium. Car manufacturers know their products better than any customer in the market.
The sequoias engine won’t hold up on the level that the armadas will. Newer don’t mean better which I heard you refer the sequoias too. Tundra and sequoia have had nothing but problems since they came out with the turbo v6.
Armada captain chairs optional, Base QX80 captain chairs standard. Armada has no HBMC, the Highest trim of the QX80 has HBMC. A New QX80 for 2024 or 2025? Let's wait and see...
You need the platinum package in the sequioa, not the limited, in order to match the Armada platinum. The limited does not have leather seats, it has softex
Hi i own 34 cars"2 armada 1 titan 1 Qx80 1 middle east Patrol nismo 5.6 428hp" 28 daily use. Armada Platinum 2024 comes with an advanced Bi Safety Feature while the Qx80 2024 all trims comes with standard Pedestrian Detection the only option to have the cooling front seats for both
@@carbuzzcom the old sequoia or the totally new one? When nissan makes a whole new armada then we can compare to new sequoia. The new sequoia interior looks like it was made for teenagers.
The sequoia's lack of headroom in the back (especially the 3rd row) makes it almost unusable. Also, Android owns 70% of the world's smartphone market share and over 40% in the US so no, not everyone uses an iPhone.
You're not a fan of anything Nissan ...your Sequoia has two recalls already and they had to stop sell it, engine problems (machining error) and faulty airbags good luck ...
Owned both. The Infiniti qx80 sensory is a far better choice than the armada. If money isn’t an option you will prevail with the Infiniti. I honestly am surprised just how far apart both are and I’d never go the Nissan route again.
You are way too harsh on Infiniti and Armada. And the turning here you displayed, you really seemed dramatic. I driven QX80 2020 at that. And it didn't handle how you displayed at all. It was really responsive. It's not as heavy as you stated. And between Armada and QX80, I'd take the QX80 all day long. And the engine comparison you gave, I disagree with your assessment too. 5.6 seems to be better than GM the 5.3 and 6.2 in terms of endurance. Look at all the complaints people have with that engine GM has. With the stop and Go dynamic fuel management system. All the updates they have. Not good for GM. I think people should test drive these vehicles themselves. Everything you discuss here is subjective. People may are may, not agree with you. And people absolutely should consider Infiniti and Armada vehicles. Rather than sequoia or GMC'S are these overpriced Cadillac's, too. Some of those Cadillac are priced at a ridiculous 150,000. I almost disagreed with everything you stated here. You painted a very dimly lit light on Nissan and Infiniti. Which are priced very reasonable compared to the big three, nowadays. Sorry, I just thought you should know!!!
The Armada has zero (0) places to put anything in the front seat/ driver area, such as change, candy, receipts, etc. , if you are using the cup holders. I would not have bought it if I realized that. Even the console is relatively small- too small for an iPad. You can’t use the small cubby where the iPhone charging pad- it will fry your car key, or the credit cards in your wallet. And, the dashboard sure looks nice and smooth, no place to put anything up there either. Disaster!!!
Uh neither is better than one another because neither do not have hands free foot trunk activation so both r a piece of crap simply due to not having hands free foot trunk activation. Simple as that!
The 5.6 naturally aspirated engine is a monster and literally hard to kill
This Armada v8 will outlast the new Turbo v6 competitor engine/turbo setup
Both Amarda and Qx80 are better than American truck based SUV.
How so?
Not size, fuel economy, power, or comfort.
@@carbuzzcom Just false. I wouldn’t dare drive a Tahoe in a blizzard, these things and Lexus included? Hell yeah
No, they are all body-on-frame SUVs

Your rental level Infiniti is a base that has base options can’t compare to this trim level in either
The sl trim is the easy pick imo. Far superior to a comparable priced Sequoia.
I drive a QX80 and my wife has the Armada. QX80 hands down.

Good point, I would be curious if the Armada has the body control modules that the QX80 has.
My 2013 Y62 Nissan came with HBMC
@@StayOnIt it does on the top spec version
Forgot to mention the difference in warranty. You lose a year with Nissan
A naturally aspirated V8 will always win against a crappy Turbocharged 6😂.
The Armada is a tried abd true formula that will last for years
He’s stuck in one gear with the Toyota Sequoia 😂
You found the steering heavy? I just bought an SL (moved up from a Murano) and I found the steering super light lol.
Compared to a Tahoe or Sequoia, it's heavy
I have a 202 armada. It’s heavy
Agreed my petite 110lbs wife has the Platinum and loves it, it is an upgraded version of her favorite SUV (desert runner, in the UAE) the Patrol. And she's never complained about heavy steering..
@@RCDiaz-Balart it's obvious these guys lack muscle lol. your wife def has good taste in vehicles!
@@carbuzzcom Go to gym and grow some biceps if steering is heavy for you
This and the QX80 are straight up beasts off road.

That was such a dramatic wait (on your end) It wasn't long at all

How do those other vehicles feel more modern, turbo V6 is not something new, it is a trend.

2 years later the Sequoia's twin turbo has been proven to be a ticking time bomb.
Armada for the win

The infinity looks way better
it’s a badge swap
Android outsells iPhone by far bruh. It's not even close lol
push the arrow on the screen and will open up fully
This can be had for a really great deal CPO
Not a truck, sir. White shorts show shit stains easy, too. Just a PSA
what is a hmbc
You better go to the gym, rather then make a complain regarding steering wheel. It is light. May be you are too weak???
NOOOO you didnt fold the second row to show us the full trunk SPACE 😪😪😪
I chose the 22 armada platinum over the tahoe
Very subjective review I thought this was a comparison but you got the clicks…kudos for that
A GM, never!
Personally the Armada is better than the Sequoia. The MPG savings is just an illusion so why not get the comfortable and smooth V8?
Because the Sequoia is smoother and nicer inside
