QX80 has better ground clearance than the escalade
That's a beautiful Infiniti
I would pick the Infiniti
Same, the Japanese build better cars than America (Gm, stellantis, etc)
Ill take the Infiniti anyday
They closed the Infiniti dealer near CLE airport.
I will DEFINITELY miss Nissan/Infiniti's refined yet simultaneously brute VK56 V8 engine. But with the ongoing beta testing of Toyota/Lexus' catastrophically failing V35A twin-turbo V6s on owners of Tundra/Sequoia, Lexus LX600, LS500, etc. models, it's apparent Nissan's VR twin-turbo V6 was FAR MORE comprehensively and prudently engineered and produced. Being that the VR was fundamentally derived from the R35 GT-R and has been in production in non-GT-R models since 2017 (Infiniti Q50/Q60, Z), this should bode very well for this all-new QX80. Well done NISSAN/INFINITI!!!! The Escalade's GM V8 should be great as long as it doesn't have the cylinder deactivation type system that has plagued its trucks and notoriously compromised Honda's V6s.
the VR makes the others look silly.
For this to be a brand new vehicle long overdue for a redesign and it is still just even with the Cadillac is a testament to how ahead of the times the Cadillac was. Personally I'd still pick it over the infiniti especially when the refresh debuts, but to each their own.
It’s not surprising at all. GM’s entire business is trucks and truck-based SUVs, Nissan’s business mainly consists of small cars and crossovers. Another thing to considering is that GM’s revenue is about twice that of Nissan’s. Nissan likely didn’t have that much of a budget developing this in comparison to the huge budget that GM had with the Escalade.
And GM's updated triplets are right around the corner.
@@dtay8913 This review was bias towards the Cadillac, it's a fact.
@@limitedreach4446 You actually sound ridiculous trying to make excuses for Infiniti. If they couldn’t compete with the Escalade they should’ve discontinued the QX80 and invested the money into their QX60 which is where their new V6 belongs anyway.
@@G-RatedThe QX80 is competitive enough to compete and they did it with a lower budget. My statement stands.
QX80! Without a doubt.
The Infinti just oozes class and sophistication. The Infinti looks like a uni-body vehicle, even though is a body-on-frame vehicle like the EScalade, due to the way the body of the Infinti wraps around it chasis/frame makes it look like a Uni-body vehicle. For the Escalde, one can tell miles away that it's a body-on-frame vehicle due to the way it sits right on it frame/chasis making it so obvious.
Infinti QX80 for me!
Agreed, the built quality must be so high for it to look like a uni-body vehicle, love it. Only people with great taste and sophistication can appreciate the QX80.
You're right, it looks very sophisticated and has charisma. I love it and will take it over the Escalade any day. Bravo Infiniti!
@@AJ-bh7vm that makes absolutely no sense. Y’all are clearly kids. 😂
@@G-RatedYou can tell a lot by the language someone speaks. Learn proper English and come back and chat. It can't make sense to you with your limited education and vocabulary.
@@AJ-bh7vm Did you mean with your limited knowledge and understanding of the English language you’re having trouble comprehending my comments? Yes, I could probably agree to that. My English is fine though, sweetie.
Love the look of the QX. Not a big fan of the red interior or the black. Wish (hope) they offer a tan/neutral option! Seems like most manufactures are going always from tan/neutral and sticking with black/grey options.
The problem will be getting people into the Infiniti dealership. They are irrelevant and forgotten.
100%, and the experience is more on par with a Hyundai/Kia dealer. I owned a 2018 Q50RS for 3 years and aside from the car being rather disappointing, the dealer experience was mediocre at best, far from the standards of BMW or Lexus. They are no nicer than a Nissan dealership, either. You definitely don’t feel like you’re driving anything close to premium when you are sitting at the dealer waiting for your oil change.
The infiniti is a better built vehicle and has more features
Better built where? There isn’t even padding on the center armrest for the *front row* passengers.
@@G-Rated I think they are on par.
According to Car Confessions, the Escalade is 3 spots above average in reliability and the Infinity QX80 is 5 spots below average in reliability
Not sure if this model year Infiniti is manufactured in Japan. I know the outgoing model was. I would take a vehicle manufactured in Japan over any GM vehicle manufactured in the U.S. Look at Toyota for example super reliable but they started manufacturing them here in the U.S and the now the new tundras have a recall for engine failure. So yeah Infiniti is definitely better built. Don’t even get me started on lifter issues with GM vehicles lol
@@jriv55 people ignore the lifter issues until they need to get towed
Infiniti has done well with this, hopefully they can work this down to the rest of the lineup to touch at the allure it once had in the 90's.
The king has returned!! 2025 Escalade FTW
Qx80!!
QX80 🔥🔥🔥
QX80 is killing the Escalade
Инфинити попытались просто скопировать интерьер Кадилллак, но это просто слабая копия.
Yeah I have to agree!!! Good to see that you're still into cars (I'm sure you got rid of the Honda years ago)
@@slon7610 you meant to say it was better
Maybe in your dream
@e8ook981 No reply. However, i suggest you read comments, point proven.
I’ve owned the later model QX80 for 8 years and it was very reliable then bought the newer model and it’s more awesome my buddy owns the 2018 Escalade and from the amount of visits to the dealer to be fixed was an indication of how unreliable it was vs the Infiniti.
This is a tough one for sure. While the Infiniti is a sizeable quantum leap from the 2010-23 model, and represents an overall HUGE advancement for the brand writ-large, this vehicle needed to offer intangibles that were completely absent on the Caddy, not merely match it. Cadillac has had since '99(and especially 2002) to own this class and its been dominant ever since.
That said, I applaud Infiniti for cranking the amp up on the luxury, experience, technology(especially), and delivering a more complete vehicle than the Lexus LX600, which feels really dated already. Infiniti at long last has some inspirational trajectory as a brand.
Yes but the infiniti has way better reliability than Gm because Infiniti is Japanese
As a 2019 QX80 owner, I'd prefer the Infiniti. The upgrades look great and I can't wait to drive it!
I've owned infiniti's all my life and definitely going back to any other vehicle, still loving my QX80 👍
I drove both sorry Cadillac fanboys but Infiniti QX80 drives and looks way more sleek / handsome to include more elegant next to the Cadillac. I liked it so much I ordered a white with two tone black in AUTOGRAPH trim expecting delivery in less than three weeks. PS I owned many Escalade’s / Denali’s in my lifetime Infiniti QX80 FTW hands down 🙌🏻 thanks for a great indepth review 😎
You're welcome and congrats on your upcoming QX80!
Thank you for purchasing your Infiniti qx80. I leased my mother a 2024 and will be leasing her this one in the coming months. I work for the manufacturer, and Nissan/infiniti did their big one with this…❤ much love and respect ! 🫡
@@Mr.Lambert777❤
Can you pop open the front view camera when driving on QX80
Only at low speed, I believe
@@CarConfections thanks for getting back to me. You two rock!
Excellent comparison!
You two did an Excellent job 🎉 Thank you...
Escalade but man that infiniti is so close
Agreed fully
Wow!!!
Hope you guys had a good 4th!!
Hey guys, great video. For the headroom figures, can you guys make sure to look carefully at the specs between headroom without a moonroof/panoramic moon roof and headroom with one? Without the sunroof, the escalade headroom is 38.9. However, with a pano roof, the headroom is actually 37.5, so that would mean the escalade would not get a full point, just half a point for the legroom advantage.
Finally someone did it
Infiniti im buying it looks aggressive all in black jack😊
Good job guys! For the people that complain about price - these are not for everyone! A luxury 3 ton SUV with all these amenities is actually fairly cheap! 0-60, space and the technology is amazing! Definitely not a bargain but for those who can afford it they are very good value for the purpose
I love Cadillac
Chevy cars are junk
Main thing I don’t like about the Escalade is the suspension. You can see all of it. It’s hideous. The arms are so low basically has ground clearance equal to a car. The Infiniti manages to have independent suspension and air suspension all while having it packaged better and tucked away.
A really wonderful channel. I wish there was a translation into other languages
QX80 👍
12:10 Doesn’t the standard length Escalade offer 121 cubic feet of max cargo space?
Both are great but I’m so impressed with the QX80 considering how many more resources that GM has in comparison to Nissan. When Nissan doesn’t cost cut and has the right R&D budget, they can engineer the heck out of a vehicle and make a compelling product.
People have really forgotten this. The QX80 is an incredible effort considering the relative lack of resources they have compared to the bigger companies.
But Nissan/Infiniti takes FOREVER to make any changes and by the time they do they are behind again.
@@bigd7386Yeah, Nissan is only a medium sized automaker, they’re only large sized when the alliance is considered. Their revenue is nowhere near as huge as a Toyota or even GM.
they nailed this because they skimp on every other product they make.
@@tyalderdice4980That’s true, I’m not denying that but when budgets are compromised, that’s typically what happens. As a much smaller company, they can’t move as agile as Toyota or Honda.
I looked into both the X50 kills the Cadillac. The cadillac resale is very lousy.
Though the QX80 is nice and has a leg up in certain areas than the Escalade, I myself would go for the Escalade. I find the design of the 80 to be too trendy. This split headlight design and a light bar in the back is so common on a lot of new vehicles now its not really unique anymore. Its a shame Cadillac did this with the refreshed 2025 or 2026 Escalade which puts it in line with its electric brother. I think i like the traditional look of the current escalade more. On top of that GM has always done very good with packaging a whole bunch of room in their suvs and thats what I like about this escalade. We had a rental suburban and took it on an 8-10 hour trip. It was spacious and comfortable so I could imagine what the escalade is like. Unlike the 80 i do Prefer the V8 vs the Turbo V6 just because of the way it sounds.
They are both nice trucks. I want to see how the 25 Escalade updates go.
Infotainment winning with my kids every time. The Escalade also has HDMI inputs which allow them to hook up any gaming system. Two pairs of wireless headphones and each can be watching different things. Q80 massage 2nd row and heated 3rd are nice. Love the Escalade rear window being able to open independently.
But can you get a 700hp V8 in the infinity?
No because it isn't a race car. Also nissan V8 can handle 1,000 Hp+ ever heard of the Nissan Patrol
@@deadbot61 The Cadillac Escalade V is not a race car either.; also the Nissan (Datsun) Patrol is the old Datsun version of the Nissan Armada and QX56/80 . The Patrol name was discontinued in 1984 and never had 1000 hp , then or now.
@@MrGreenelightaftermarket 1,000 Hp
The 2025 escalade IQ is crushing both of these.
No, it's not. It's a unibody, packaged not very efficiently, too big, not much luxury or buttons, and the third row and cargo area is smaller than the regular escalade
How much more it the diesel Escalade?
Nah Escalade has swagger and name recognition. Infiniti out of their mind asking for similar prices for their SUV. Nobody is cross shopping an Infinite in the luxury market.
When the Infiniti is around $8,000 in 2040 imma buy one!!!!!!!!!
For this price no adaptive headlights? Also I think the escalade just came out with a refresh!
you're thinking of IQ Escalade which is all electric ew
I pick the Infinti all day any day and on a Sunday😬
The QX80 put up a worthy challenge... but the 2025 Escalade was revealed today and Cadillac just snatched back the crown.
Time and time again year after year there are so many competitors that come for the Cadillac brand yet it’s remains on top for a reason.
@@kendellvjohnson everyone has tried but nobody has succeeded at dethroning the Cadillac Escalade and those folks over at *gm.*
Cadillac for me by far, especially in long wheelbase. I’d take a Lincoln Navigator L over the Infiniti too.
Steering on Lincoln is old lady feel; WAY prefer tight steering feel.
The infiniti is pretty nice, but i guarantee you wont see any VIPs being chauffered in it or celebs sporting it. And very few consumers in the market for a $100k flagship suv will choose a v6 over a v8.
The Escalade is ok for the $$$ but still full of plastics from GM parts bin and for that kind of cash no rear vented seats the Caddy is bigger and if the TT V6 doesn t blow up just might give it a run for its market segment.
2 Queens at the same stage wooow🤯😍
Super Cruise is hard to pass up. It seems like no other manufacturer is anywhere close.
Escalade exterior, especially from directly front and back, looks much cleaner and better.
Perhaps the 2025 Infiniti over the 2024 Escalade. But that 2025 Escalade is a beauty and I’d be hard pressed to find a luxury suv more impressive looking (although the current range is perfection)
I could hear the amazing difference between audio systems 😅
Infiniti for me
Fitst like, first view.🏃
Actually, Cadillac as a model comes from 2021, and Infiniti from 2024, not a completely fair and correct comparison. Cadillac has now had a restyling, Infinity should be compared with it
Not until January of next year
I love the new Qx80 but why not go v8 and increase the overall power... Escalade is classic and has the power that can't be overlooked... also where's the entertainment system on the QX80
I still love this new QX80 Autobiography, one the v-6 pushing 450 hp and not kill me wt the gas station and its more specs than the Escalade yeah am sticking with the QX80
I'll take a 2025 QX80 over a 2024 Escalade, but not over the 2025 refreshed Escalade.
That QX80 is a literal art gallery on wheels. A gorgeous SUV. But, I'd take the Escalade over it tbh
I can almost instantly tell you have a slight bias for the Cadillac.
that Infiniti blew it out of the water as soon as you stepped inside the interior.
Cadillac escalade beautiful beautiful beautiful nothing on the streets like that❤
Def the QX 80 , sadly Cadillac has let me down too many times! I’ll try Japan quality
Just wait for the letdown then. When you factor in how many vehicles Cadillac sells over Infiniti it’s staggering.
@ivankorth4458 You're in the minority then. Even car confections reliability metrics put Cadillac above infiniti.
@@dtay8913but in practice it doesn’t work that way. Just ask a livery driver with any of the suburban Tahoe family of vehicles including Escalade.
I'll take the INFINITI all the way. Next to the Escalade, the QX80s design is just on a different level. Will most likely age way better than the Cadi too.
INFINITY QX 80☄️☄️☄️🔥🔥🔥 Legendary🙌
infiniti qx80 so baeutifull looking i like it
That infiniti....wooooooooooo cant beat it. But when it comes time for repairs you will regret it
the escalade fought to beat the qx80 and i think ik which one im picking
Qx80 all Day
Q80
Infiniti will win for sure. But just wait till the 2025 Escalade comes out, it has been leaked, somehow, and in my personal opinion, the 2025 Escalade is better.
Staying Escalade. I will say the Infiniti puts up a good fight but …. No QX80 Extended Length and or Performance version neither. The power second row seats that are heated plus ventilated is nice…. Also third row heated seats is nice as well. But when you drive a ESV V-Series …. There’s no coming back! When you have all your family and luggage loaded up in Escalade ESV VSeries then launch control off a straight line in a hair over 4seconds you over 60MPH sounding like a race car…. BADAZZ!!!! You kids smiling saying “Do it again”!!…..
QX80 all the way❤😊
QX80 for me.
Qx80 all day!
Of course cadillac is the best❤
Honestly imo the king is the gls for the same price u can get a turbo charged v8 with all the same features both of these have along with a more luxurious interior
Nope, GLS has horrible build quality and less space than these SUVs, the QX80/Escalade have nicer interiors too
@@CarGeek360 did you just mention an American luxury car company and poor build quality within the same sentence ?😂😂😂Cadillacs are known for having shitty fisher price interiors and this Escalade is no different don’t be fooled by the huge screens and the gaudy chrome
@@dynamicremakes5592 still better than Mercedes, my best friend’s mom had a 2021 GLS450 and the build quality on those GLSes is nothing short of HORRIBLE
infiniti for sure
man again u ignoring talking about qx89 dashcam ???? +0.5
American SUV the best❤
Infiniti over em all.
Infinity QX 80💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
With the new Cadillac Escalade 2025, the QX will lose big time, in my opinion.
Definitely Infiniti
Infiniti might have up the game, but their dealers re still giving BAE vibes
I love the QX80 but I think it’s going to look old quick 😔
They cloned it pretty much.
R.I.P. Escalade
👍👍👍❤️🎉QX80
If you love music but you’ve never listened to your favorite song in an Escalade with either the 19-speaker AKG system or the 36-speaker AKG Studio Reference system, then you’re crazy. The base system is one of the best I’ve ever heard but the upgraded system has to be the absolute best audio system I’ve ever experienced in any automobile and 1 of my older sisters owns a Bentley Continental amongst other extravagant vehicles that I’ve listened to music in several times. That 36-speaker AKG system is truly something special.
I would choose the Escalade over the QX80 because I prefer the design and powertrain over the feminine & narrow look and sound of the Infiniti. I think this matchup speaks volumes on Cadillac’s attention to detail and the way their styling ages so well. The Escalade’s exterior and interior design are still bold, look futuristic and fresh in 2024. Another timeless design like the 2015 model. Bravo Cadillac! 🥂 😎
Just bought a 2024 Escalade Sport, no thanks Infiniti!
Shouldve waited for the 25 refresh lol
Chevy cars are junk
QX80 has better ground clearance than the escalade
It’s the QX80 for me…
No tight, just v8 better then turbo v6 and cadi easier to sell
Qx80 all day...can't find ur Escalade in the parking lot...
QX80 is the new King 🤴
