What an unexpected collab 😂
no but fr lmao
He brought that sidekick geek from KY. Those two boys in KY are hilarious lol. 😳
@@pmiahky lol I kinda feel bad that their Santa Fe broke down. They really seemed to have fun with that. Hope they buy a better hybrid version of it though
Was saying this on Tedward’s leaf video this morning, too, but for being in the position they’re in, Nissan and Infiniti are making pretty darn good lemonade with the lemons they have. If they keep products like this up and continually improve them, I think they’ll end up being just fine.
Infiniti is back in business
Great now let’s fix nissan while Toyota is shooting itself in the foot.
Now all they need to do is put this new powertrain in the next gen Q50 and maybe a sporty crossover.
@@ataibsaleem7419 It doesnt rev high enough, theyll just use the vr30 till its extremley outdated then switch to all ev, which is a mistake
@@TalooshDaBoss hopefully they make the engine more athletic and rev happy. But if that's the case, then this engine is probably meant for big SUVs and trucks. Hybrid vr30 setup would be an okay compromise instead of going full EV.
QX60 and the QX80 are the only thing I would consider buying from Infiniti, the QX50 and 55 needs a tech, interior and transmission upgrade, also they should put a detuned version of the 3.5TT on this to the QX60.
Feels like the first time they've
finally caught up to the competition
Strange observation - why will Nissan put rear door sunshades on the Rogue and Pathfinder, but not the flagship QX80?
Finally the drive!! Thanks Topher!
You mean substitute Topher haha
make more car therapy topher!!! :DD i remember a video when you were in la, it helped me a lot
this thing is gorgeous
i know that in a couple of years someone is going to rip the engine out of one of these that's been crashed and put it in a Z. the power numbers are crazy.
as they should I just wonder how much heavier it’d make the Z.
The front looks good, the interior looks great and the rear looks like an evolution of the old 2011 infiniti qx56 tail.
The interior looks really nice
Great interior !!!
Have a LOVELY start to your week everyone 💗🕊🌱 I LOVE You!
P.S. Awesome video, Topher Drives 😊
Nice collab with one of the Car Confections Brothers :-) Well Done Chris !
I love the rear end and lights
Beautiful!
Just reminding people that this is the top-of-the-line trim. Base trim is around $82k iirc
This is a significant update over the previous generation model.
A blend of elegance and capability
Amazing❤
Beautiful Car!!!
Now I might picture the next Nissan Armada!
Well hello, Topher Too!
Decent infiniti models
Would never spend 6 figures on a Infiniti. Much better options available in that price range
Eh. I guess Infiniti should go out of business.
But I remind myself that competition is a good thing. Even if the competition ain’t good enough. But then it’s like the competition doesn’t even exist in the first place…
Id honestly get a lexus or genesis or lucid
That’s because you are a hater. Yeah buy lx600 and less than 30k miles the engine and transmission will blow. Even the genesis and their crappy engines. Good luck with your look lx600 . 😅
@@blackgold754 please go and buy your glorious lx600, few minutes from the dealership, before you get to your house the engine will blow, 💥 boom
@@carnations1905 bruh I think you’re talking about new Tacoma engines that’s breaking down with mild off-roading . Not GX and even genesis is considered more reliable than its Porsche, Cadillac, and bmw counterparts. Most cars today are shit and buying luxury cars are risky but the risk is minimized with buying Lexus or genesis.
Front and rear bumper cover paint shade is different from the rest of the car. Honestly a big issue across a lot of new cars but on something this expensive it really sticks out.
nice
I'm losing interest in brands that focus only on SUVs.
Im losing interest when they kill natural aspirated engines
Can’t wait to buy one of these in six years for 20 grand
Kinda wished they introduced more interior colour combos 🤷🏻♂️
Plus i think they didnt take a thought about changing the tire/wheel size 🤔 looks significantly small compared to its body.
Maybe some big ass spacers will do the job?
Unloaded question: Who is buying a $100k+ Nissan product? Would you trust (reliability wise) a big, $116k Nissan product vs a similarly priced Lexus, Cadillac, Bimmer, or Merc SUV?
the fact this big thing doesn't have a cvt makes it a much better purchase to stomach if you're financially irresponsible
Nissan heavy duty cars are underrated. So many Patrols in the Middle East. I see many old Armadas and QX80 in the US too.
They don’t use CVTs, they’re fine.
You mean besides the GTR they’ve spent like 20 years perfecting w/ a ttV6? Hmmmm…maybe they know a thing or 2 about turbo engines🤫
@@MS-mr4zmGood to hear. Although I am a VW(8th VW GLI)/Audi fanboi I grew up with Datsun (dad had a Datsun 810 ,1984 300zx turbo, and 1990 Infiniti Q45 (all bought new). I hate what Renault did to the Nissan brand.
How much will that engine cost? And good truck
The opening shot of this video is the epitome of over complexity in cars.
Yeah, real ugly and overdesigned
That’s REALLY expensive…
Since i saw the 1st interior photos i wondered about the armerest center stack design. They definately need to fix that area. Whoever did that should be fired.
the same feeling
@@__2569 It's the only thing I kept seeing in my head.I'm like the armrest is there, but it's too far back and the rest is going to be hard to put your elbow on. So I was a little bit confused that someone actually approved this LO. L
@@occckid123 like me the car is great but that part is messed up I don't feel comfortable looking at it.
My prediction, they will use this engine with a hybrid set up in the new gtr. Considering the power this makes, also twin turbo, makes sense to me. Nissan also doesn't have a super big budget.
That center console is atrocious. Looks very uncomfortable and annoying.
yep
Still making this behemoth?
Now Infiniti has made a strong return to the competition, with a beautiful appearance and a very nice interior, much better than Lexus
The steering wheel is giving Range Rover
Every car manufacturers want to have big touch screens in their cars.
It's because it's cheaper for them to make it like this. Personally, I don't mind some screens here and there; but this is just done without taste.
Much better than old Infiniti interiors, though.
Every car manufacturers want to copy Mercedes Benz when it comes to the infotainment system design.
get the last gen qx80
Glad they finally tried to make a modern vehicle.
Is Thetopher and Tedward the same person?
I would rather have the climate in the main screen and that space for more stuff down low.
What is the top speed of the Infiniti QX80 Autograph?
130 mph
Nice truck, it has good things like the upholstery, the dash, everything.I like it.
112k 😂
I used to love this truck when it was the QX56. 110,000 and it doesn't have soft closing doors? The design (hitting the storage button on arm rest), may lack power, I don't think it's thoroughly planned. Good review though. Thank you
Why weren't the gauge cluster's menus and options showcased?
22:14
@@shanenelson8793 Thank you! It's weird that it isn't at the usual place, during the second part of the interior showcase.
Wow arm rest issue might be a deal breaker for me. Huge miss here
same as u
Look forward to seeing one at Dave’s Used Cars for 35K in three years
Still in 480p 😅
2025 Tahoe/Suburban will make this irrelevant again
110k for this massive pile. What a world.
I don’t know about massive pile lol, but I agree there’s no value proposition here vs the competition. I mean I guess they’ll find a few wealthy small business owners who will lease one to be different from their neighbors
It will either get stolen, or have the engine explode, more unreliable pile over, Nissan needs to leave the market honestly
Base is available in 85k
Joke of a world.
I hope they have better luck than toyota and their Turbo motors 😂
Ill wait 5 years and pick one up for 20k
It kinda looks better version of lexus gx
good to be honest about the "massaging seats" I swear the gimmicks that most cars are trying to come out with and this is honestly a sad attempt by Infiniti... I'd still take a escalade over this.... also that center console is AWKWARD.... also the door that opens is on the arm rest is dumb...
yes
So… this doesn’t have the infamous Nissan CVT… is this worth looking at? Or will this still be unreliable as heck as every other modern Nissan out there?
Honestly, other than the problematic CVT, Nissans tend to be relatively reliable
You obviously don't know anything about Infinity. 😂😂
Is the engine meant to tick like that? 😅
injectors
Its going to be a nice $10k vehicle.
Better value than a Escalade
The escalade doesn’t even know this thing exists 😂
lol
Nobody buying an Escalade is cross shopping with this
@@dawsongranger4940 *nobody is buying this. Period.😂😂
Trying to copy BMWs with that gauge cluster UI 😂😂😂
Remember, cars been developed since 2017 and most manufacturers also do this.
I wish more car manufacturers would copy bmw gauge clusters 😩😩 they are gorgeous
Love to see a new ICE engine. Ev's suck.
Wait 2 years and you can get it for almost half off. Makes the $112k a tiny bit more palatable, though, some sob with no sense of money would have to buy it first.
Also, the sound coming through the speakers sounds like they were trying to make it sound like cars from Cruis'n USA from the N64. In other words, it sounds terrible.
Message to Toyota and Nissan: Everyone wants the V8. No one wants your turbos.
Yes and you kill the v8 jus for 1 mile better
@@Venomoustoxins2122 And kill your wallet: those turbos don't last.
I’m in 2025
@27:10 'What can you do?'
Not buy it
Interior looks great, exterior not a fan tbh.
What does sub topher look like
TIL Infiniti is still making vehicles
Needs a diesel
Really lovely SUV, very good builted.
What the .....
I'm so sorry but the rear just screams Smart #1 and that's not good at all...
range rover steering wheel
I wanna know who tf is buying these😂
turn signals?? come on you just dont know what you talking about ... this car is aTOP of all luxuries cars
so...Hyundai Palisade and Range Rover all wrapped into one...ok
112k for a nissan, has to be a joke
If this was a Lexus, would you say the same thing about a 112k Toyota?
Then bugatti is 4 million for Volkswagen
@0:39 - 50% plastic...
leave my 350z alone
This truck is 112k. Oh hell, naw not for an infiniti!
No hard buttons for climate control…ugh
Killed v8 just to get 1 mile better in gas mileage
That's just not got the looks needed for someone to spend that type of money on a car. It looks too much like a hyped up Hyundai.
Substitute Topher did a very admirable job replacing Topher. Sounds very similar maybe related, very soothing voice. The Infiniti for me is way overpriced and the build quality questionable especially given the competition for the price. Another scandalous iteration from Nissan Corp 💩💩🤥
$112,000???? That’s absolutely INSANITY the Lexus GX550 in its same class in $30,000 cheaper and far superior why would anyone pay that for a car that doesn’t have the reliability that Lexus doesn’t for 3/4 the cost of this pig? That’s wild but I guess this is a throw away car a rich business man will buy it trade it in in 5 years when values dropped so it’s than affordable with reliability now sacrificed…. Atleast the Lexus will hold its value and still be reliable for another 20 years after its traded in in 5 years
lexus LX is better
Its bad
This trim level ain’t it
U saw a car with pretty much no points of complaint atleast as is and still looked for something to complain abt?
Stupid complaint
Twink opinion
And why?
You can't afford it anyhow. XD
Lexus needs to take note on how to do a proper interior.
Hyundai palisade😂😂😂😊
nice
