- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2025 Infiniti QX80 full-size, luxury body-on-frame SUV. We are in the Napa Valley with Infiniti driving the All-New 2025 Infiniti QX80 and boy does it ever look good. Our review drops 06/24 when the embargo on driving impressions lifts.
Gone is the V8, the new 2025 Infiniti QX80 is now powered by a 3.5L V6 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. That’s an extra 50 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing model. Standard AWD in Canada. In the US, RWD and AWD models are available.
This 2025 Infiniti QX80 body-on-frame SUV can tow 8500 pounds and comes well equipped with dual 14.3” screens with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 9” HVAC screen, head-up display, 3D around view monitor, a wireless charger, a 14-speaker Klipsch sound system, available 24-speaker which sounds amazing, a motion activated hands-free power tailgate, powered leather heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
There’s a new electronic air suspension which is standard in Canada, available in the US. It can lower the vehicle by 2.8” when parked and when driving 1.2”. If you are in more rugged terrain, an off-road setting raises the suspension by 2.1”. The new dynamic digital suspension also standard in Canada will evaluate the road conditions to keep you as comfortable as possible. Pro Pilot Assist 1.1 is standard, 2.1 is available.
One of the most challenging things when driving a large vehicle is getting in and out of tight spots. Infiniti has you covered with a front wide view offering a near 180-degree forward view to help you navigate those blind corners and low visibility. The QX80 also has an invisible hood allowing you to see things you wouldn’t typically see.
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 is priced competitively. In Canada the Luxe starts at $104,995 CAD, Sensory $113,995 CAD and Autograph $124,995 CAD.
In the US, Pure RWD/AWD $82,450 USD/$85,550 USD, Luxe RWD/AWD $89,550 USD/$92,650 USD, Sensory $100,645 USD and Autograph $110,595 USD.

Best 100k SUV on the market. Just the looks alone screams "I Arrived"
Yep, it’s all about status, most of these will probably have more than two people in it about five times, and never tow anything.
I wouldn't mind it looking like a Range Rover - it sure won't be unreliable like one! Awesome review as always, you guys!
You guys drove right by my home on Silverado Trail. Had I known that you would have been in the Valley we would have had you over for a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. I Love Motormouth and your knowledge on cars
Looking good, finally Infinity back in the game. Thank you Motormouth.
Not sure why they would make it significantly smaller than the Tahoe Yukon Escalade expedition navigator. Not even close to the xl suburban size. Otherwise I’d have one tommoro until than I’ll be stuck with transmissions made out of glass and frame rust within a year
Andrea, your facial expressions at the beginning when you stepped on it sold this for me. You just loved it and it shows!
The way Zach hold on at the start of the video 😂. Like always, great video!!
My favorite automotive journalists doing it right! Always great reviews and great overall content❤
Have owned several QX80s. Always loved them and Infiniti did an amazing job. It is gorgeous. Almost perfect. I have been asking for pano roof, high end sound system and massage seats and they gave us all. Except a good motor for a full size suv. Toyota and ford failed and full of issues putting a V6 into a full size. That V6 belongs in the QX60, QX55, Q60 and Q50. The QX80 needs a V8 twin turbo 4.4l or bigger. With no less than 600HP before mods.
That small v6 will fail. V6 are not made for full size suvs.
Another great review!
From every indication, Infiniti is set to bloom. Wow, wow, wow❤❤❤
I love everything about this new QX80, except the push button shifter, its like they saw what Ford was doing with the Lincoln and said "Let's just copy them." when they could have gone with a normal shifter, or at least a dial. That would have been preferable over a push button.
I grew up watching you on Saturday mornings "Driving Television" and am still watching you today.
Great videos and excellent addition with Andrea. Behind every great man is...an even better woman.
Sick looking car
Great couple.
It’s a beautiful beast. I love this thing
I already know what Zach is thinking: Infiniti has wasted away a lot of their models by refusing to add necessary updates/engines. Love y'all's videos
This vehicle competes very well now, Infiniti did a great job and has a lower starting price than many of it's competitors.
@@andreaspencer9813 now we need them to tackle everything else!
@@andreaspencer9813they need to hurry up and do the same thing for their other models!
Nissan is not going down without a fight and that’s good.
The real competition for this is Lexus and finally Infinity nailed it! Cadillac Buyers will not consider Japanese vehicles, but Infinity has better quality than Lincoln and is now on par with Lexus and that says a lot! Now having said all that anything close to $100,000 puts me in either a Range Rover or a Cadillac! Great show as always!
The exterior is growing on me. Nice big ride for sure but there's something about that Escalade. If I had to buy one or the other, Cadillac
That was a good, clean, to the point review.
Great job infiniti! Personally I'd still take the Escalade but this was a much needed update
Outstanding Video As Usual. Can Shop For New Vehicle Watching Your Channel ❤😅😊🎉
Love it!
Look how huge this is behind Zach and Andrea in the intro. Wow.
If you’re able, go Castello di Amorosa winery…wonderful place. I know it gets pretty warm in the Napa Valley during the summer time, so stay cool and stay hydrated. Thank you for the video. Cheers 😊.
I love everything about this new QX80..... except the way the rear end looks. :( I tried really hard and just couldn't bring myself to love the rear end.
Great review. Like the look of the front and sides but not too keen on the look of the rear. Overall, very nice vehicle
Ya I'm out when I saw the price but I sure do love it!
Great overall review. I believe the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy has heated 3rd row seats, even though you might not consider it in the same class.
Bro, at this time probably Hyundai Palisade is better than this new model Infinity in reliable. Infinity need improve more, only is appearance. For example the Grand Wagoneer with screen for all passengers, Lexus of course with its strong and reliables engines, Cadillac with the reputation of more years in the industry and Lincoln a beautiful inside design for drive and be relaxs. Infinity need do more than a new style(for example a reinforce roof similar to Volvo for safety) to attract. Actually nothing new to offer except the new design.
First and foremost, I like it. Infiniti’s iconic big SUV definitely needed an update. In my opinion, it was never much of a looker - with it’s design language making it look a bit… frumpy, a bit… glumpy and a bit… overweight. A diet was imminently needed. This new generation looks brilliant, both inside and out. Refreshingly more balanced and aggressive. Downside? I expect that it will prematurely look dated and it doesn’t really share Infiniti’s Design philosophy… “Japanese concept of ma: designs that have a sense of minimalism, enriched with intricate elements that deliver warmth, stir emotions and forge a human connection.” Especially with the use of the word ‘minimalism’. I still like it, but… it would never replace a the mighty Range Rover, ever. ‘The best 4x4xFar’. Thanks for the video.
How does the modified chassis compare to the old one?
Do the doors feel as hollow as they did in the previous pos?
Dang that bad boy is $$$$! I did not realize how pricey the vehicles in that class are.
I like the body. I think it in all black is going to look SHARP!!! But i like brown seats😊
You guys should get some sun..... Zach! So the big deal to me is Klipsch....BRAVO....an American Speaker Company. Gotta have those "swamp coolers" in the seats down here in The Carolina's !
The token physical volume knob is insulting. Where are the rest of the physical buttons? I don't want a distracting screen to control the HVAC nor capacitive touch buttons on the steering wheel. I want controls I can safely use by feel.
I'd take faux wood over piano black interior trim
I love it and i'm a LX600F fan!
Is there a built in trailer brake controler?
I think Infiniti would be fine if they did another facelift on the QX50/55 with a similar interior to the current QX60 & update the QX60 with these new screens. I also wouldn't be mad if they brought a new Q60 coupe based on the Z! This Interior is hands down better than what Acura & Lexus has been doing.
Anyone hear anything if the 2025 QX60 will follow design queues from this QX80 or are they keeping the 2022+ style?
Looks pretty good for a 20yrs old model.Still think If they refined a bit the exterior and got rid of all those lumps would have looked much nicer. A bit of a niche vehicle considering it's out of many people's reach and whoever has that kind of $$ will probably look elsewhere considering Infiniti/Nissan's reputation.Very likely Lexus or maybe downsizing to an MDX/X7. I mean it has everything but the kitchen sink but don't think it would be enough to save Nissan/Infiniti from the hole they dug themselves into.
Enterprise gave me a previous gen while I was in Toronto a few weeks ago and honestly it was great! It doesn't feel as big as it looks behind the wheel and is quite manageable. Super comfy but you definitely do feel the weight. It doesn't soak up the bumps as well as other unibody SUVs but that's expected. I drove it to Niagara Falls and it was a pleasant road trip vehicle!
Finally infinity have something to talk about looks good inside and out
it´s a good one.
Great analysis and viewpoints, as usual. Quick question, are you guys wearing identical flesh tone knee socks in the opening 2-3 secs??? LOL.
Don’t make fun of their paleness! Those legs could sure use some sunlight though! They’re coming out of a long winter in Canada. Give them a break!
After a long cool and wet spring, we need the socks
oh so close to me! Well, not next door - San Jose. Have a great time in beautiful Napa. Hope it's not too hot; no rain though.
Holy cow things up here have gotten enormous.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the main reason for the downsizing of engines was actually for emissions more than fuel economy. That’s what Toyota told us in training (I’m been in Toyota sales for 19+ years).
Looks great seems like a really nice vehicle. Too bad. The dealership chain is so bad one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with. I have a 2018 Q 50 S and my experience was so bad that I would never buy another infinity because I had to deal with their dealership chain.
Who are they marketing this to? I don’t see it as an “off road” vehicle but much more of a light duty vehicle and an alternative for a family hauler or minivan. Am I wrong?
Love the full-size spare tire... this QX80 is a beast!
They got the price down right in Canada because when you convert it it comes out to around 90K USD which is what it should have been here in the US for the top trim
I am eager to see what the Armada will look like! But I’m sure it’ll take a while for it to come out.. 🤦🏾♂️
Just what the world needs is another “tank”. 😂
Nice exterior design for a change ! Hope it will be duplicated to all models. Infiniti has a great deal of catchin-up to do designwise.
I thought it’s kinda expensive until I see a Jeep going for $130,000
Lol sell your house 🏠
My Palisade has heated and ventilated seats in the 2nd row and heated 3rd row seats. I know it's a mid-size, but you don't have to spend 90k + to get those features.
This vehicle is waaaay out of my league, but the issue with the piano black plastics that many brands use, gave me a thought. Can you not put some sort of matte finish overlay on those areas? Would the touch/haptic controls still work? Maybe someone already makes pre-cut overlays for various models, and if not, maybe someone should think of manufacturing such a product. I hate fingerprints/smudges, after having lived with glass tables for many years.
Great video and review of the QX80!
It was never 25k
@@cultofmodernism8477 lol, you are right, not sure what I was thinking when I saw that number listed on a review site.
Turbo will provide much more low rev torque. Probably makes you feel 200+ torque extra
I don't know why ppl don't like piano black
I've had on my last 3 cars. Don't put things on it and clean it once a week. Looks fine to me
i cant find this info anywhere , does it have auto hold feature ?
Yes
Yes, it does have it.
How dumb is the middle center console between the front seats??! The flip up part is right where the drivers right elbow would be. And it’s not soft material!
Biometric cooling, invisible hoods, what is the world coming to guys 😮
It was a bad idea to get rid of the V8 engine. Some people love the power of the V8s
This turbo V6 is more powerful and more torque though.
Well, they want a V8 with less power! 😂@@spencer927
Cadillac 360 cameras always come on if you get close to something like going through a drive-thru..
What a beautiful beast! Too bad gas mileage is just awful. They should add hybrid. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
It is beautiful....the view from the front to the back while driving is sooo far away it looks like driving a luxury school bus...insanely big vehicle
I hope the second row it toddler proof
450 hp and 516 lb ft of torque. Wow, big power, almost as powerful as my Volvo. Only needs 5 more hp and 7 more lb ft of torque.
This Infiniti reminds me of those big fully optioned out pick up trucks, it’s a living room on wheels. One wonders how many of these will be bought because there’s frequently six or eight passengers or because you need to tow 8000 pounds? Or how many will be bought because the driver thinks it’s important to be seen driving it? It’s kinda like that good feeling a truck driver gets when he pulls into the truckstop in his Peterbilt instead of a lowly Navistar or Volvo.
In the meantime, let’s spend trillions promoting efficiency with electric vehicles so we can avoid burning gas. “Obnoxious” would be a good vanity tag.
Thoughts? C’mon, I must have pulled somebody’s chain?
*"Battle Wagon Wars"* absolutely as Toyota "whatever that is" definitely has the potential to kick off both a massive volume War *AND* price War in this massive in every way market segment. Verdict: Tesla still in the driver seat actually
This and its competitors are unnecessarily obscene. Drove a Grand Wagoneer in California for five days. Had 8 to shuttle around. Beautiful vehicle. Tech was doing things on its own and was intrusive not helpful. These cars will all be a maintenance and insurance and environmental nightmare.
Good grief! Who is buying(leasing to keep up with the Jones) these $100k plus ostentatious monstrosities? I am a GenXer automotive enthusiast with a 7 figure net worth that has carried and towed many things over the years. When my 4 door, mid-size sedan with folding rear seats and roof rack could not do the occasional required task.........I rented a truck! By the way Zach, Andrea, great job as usual!
I think the people who buy these have more money than they know what to do with.
I too continue to be amazed at how much money is floating around. Not my house but all the houses within a 2mile radius from where I live start over a million with many well north of 5m and people are buying all of them.
What a stupid comment- makes zero sense - but it’s GenX er thing I guess ., think harder - next time
@@Motormouth... This or Cadillac escalade
If I have that much money I'd rather put it in some investments instead of wasting $$$ on expensive vehicles.
Expensive, but the cheapest amongst its competitors... and probably will have the second best reliability next to the Lexus. I would wait 3 years and buy a used one ... would probably be able pick up a gently used top of the line one for around $75k Canadian
16:43 Terrible paint match on the front bumper.
There making a big come back nice
I would chose a BMW X7 for less $$ over this but this is also stunning and will look new for the next 15 yrs!!
It's nice.. for a school bus. 😂
Wow Infiniti nailed it!
QX 80 wins!
Turbos go and need repairs fast, especially Nissan. Run.
None of the above, BMW x7 blows them all away.
I'd like to see more details of interior, exterior than talking while driving.
I love you guys ❤
Hi from Ukraine 🇺🇦
英飛凌科技厲害👍，車價貴買不下手保值低。
Mind boggling about all the comments here about reliability?? This is a Japanese brand and they're all reliable to similar extents. Now if you're talking about German cars or Land Rover yes that's a problem! I'm on my third Infiniti and I've never had any issues and I keep my cars a long time. As for the twin turbo, it's been around for many years now. My 2018 Q50 red sport with the twin turbo, no issues 7 years now and I tend to drive it pretty hard. My wife still drives a 2012 Infiniti ex35...zero issues. If you don't like it because you don't think it's cool that's not a problem, but people bringing up reliability and then saying how much they love Land Rover (WORST reliability) and BMW, that's pretty silly.
It's all about the badge, same way lexus isn't a real luxury brand and doesn't quite compete with the german brands
Baby got girth.
I should be able to afford it in 5yrs with 100k miles on it for $40k. Lol
Land Rover is arguably the most copied brand in terms of design in the world.
Made in Japan 🇯🇵 ☀️💎💎💎
Pity it’s not bigger. Won’t sell in the US.
One thing I absolutely cannot get over - the privacy invading driver-facing camera and monitoring system. What a stupid idea.
Looks like a minivan
Nissan Quest
Twin turbo from Nissan, what could go wrong? Lol
Tell that to Toyota’s TTV6 undergoing recalls right now.
Way better than the Escalade
U guys & S.G. r in a huuuuuge disagreement over Audio speakers
Motormouth this or Cadillac escalade
No one hears RR and think Range Rover.... For your information sir, RR = Royce Rolls!
This is certainly a big improvement for Infiniti…but so many potential issues down the road with all the bloated tech features
Cute……..Andrea and Zack matching outfits 👍. Andrea looks a little cuter ☺️😂
