Infiniti QX80 - All-wheel drive luxury SUV full-size segment, which is the "indisputable flagship" in the model range of the Japanese automaker, which combines an impressive appearance, a luxurious salon, rich equipment and a good off-road potential ...

Its main target audience - family men with a high level of income, which do not need anything, and through the Iron Horse, they want to demonstrate their "high social status" ...

Premium SUV Infiniti QX80 appeared in 2013 - by renaming the QX56 model during the total rebranding of the Japanese brand model range, inheriting from the predecessor and design, and the technical component without any serious improvements ... However, in the spring of 2014, a public debut ( On the podiums of the New York Motor Show), the modernized version of the car was celebrated, however, the update was limited only to "low blood" - the five-door was slightly corrected by the appearance, added new colors of the body and interior trim and expanded the list of available equipment, but did not allocate any Modeling technique.

In November 2017, the Japanese "Gigan" survived the second restyling in his life - submitted to the general public within the international motor show in Dubai. And once again, the metamorphosis was touched predominantly the exterior - the SUV was seriously reproofing the front, giving it similarity with other models of the brand, and slightly corrected the stern. True, only these changes were not limited to - the car received a new upholstery of the seats with a diamond-shaped stitching and finishing of doors, as well as an improved multimedia complex.

With all its kind of Infiniti QX80 inspires respect and thrill, even when it stands in place, and it looks brutally and very pretty, and thanks to smooth bends of corners and surfaces, it is also impressive and in moderation harmoniously.

At the presentable facade of the SUV, small LED "sabers" optics coexist with a huge chrome "shield" of the radiator lattice, and its monumental feed exhibits a large trunk lid and graceful lights.

And on the side of the car impressive by his scope, emphasizing his majesty "muscular" sidewalls and wheeled arches of impressive sizes.

Overall dimensions in infinity QX80 Truly giant: The length of the car is 5340 mm, the height is 1925 mm, the width is 2030 mm. There was a 3075-millimeter base between the "Japanese" pairs of the Wheel, and the ground clearance of 234 mm magnitude is overlooked under "belly".

The interior of the Japanese "Giant" looks attractive and moderately presentable, although somewhat robustly against the background of many competitors, but is distinguished by careful thoughtfulness and the highest quality of performance.

There is nothing inappropriate or shocking on the front panel of the SUV, everything is extremely clear and very ergonomically. The combination of instruments are beautiful and informative, a large steering wheel is convenient and multifunctionally, and the solid central console is logically divided into three "thematic floors": the first "climate", the second - "music", and the third has an 8-inch information and entertainment screen for himself. Systems.

The decoration is decorated exclusively "thoroughbred" materials finishing - expensive plastics, high-quality leather and natural wood.

By default, Infiniti QX80 has a seven-bed salon. Chubby front armchairs are good in appearance, but not quite convenient in fact due to a short pillow and low side support.

The rear row of seats providing passengers of the royal space is divided in the middle of a massive table, and optionally can be replaced by a full-fledged sofa. Triple "Gallery" is more suitable for only two seats, but it does not suffer with a deficit.

Even with full loading with passengers in infinity QX80, 470-liter compartment remains for luggage accommodation.

All MODE 4 × 4 All-wheel drive transmission on Infiniti QX80 is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch in the drive of the front axles and "flares" three modes of operation:

  • AUTO - as the rear wheels slip up to 50% of the moment is sent to the front;
  • 4H - the thrust is divided between the axes in equal shares (the coupling is rigidly blocked);
  • 4L - Launched down transmission.

But with off-road abilities, due to solid sizes, this "Japanese" is not the best: the angles of entry, the congress and the ramp of it are 20.9, 22.3 and 20.7 degrees, respectively.

But in the road disciplines, the car demonstrates excellent results: the maximum "giant" rushes to 210 km / h, and fromces up to 100 km / h "Shots" for 7.5 seconds.

In the combined mode of motion, the five-door consumes 14.5 liters of fuel to the "hundred" (20.6 liters "destroyed" in the city and 11 liters on the track).

The base for infinity QX80 is a platform from Nissan Patrol with a frame integrated into the power frame of the body and with the zones of the programmed deformation in front and behind, and a longitudinally oriented engine.

The suspension from the SUV independent on both axes: "double-tempered" in the front and "multi-dimensions" in the rear. By default, the car is equipped with HBMC anticrene technology, which eliminates the oscillations and bruises of the body due to the closed hydraulic locks of the front and rear stabilizers during transverse loads.

"In a circle", the five-door demonstrates ventilated discs of the brake system with a diameter of 350 mm, working in a ligament with a large number of modern "Lovages" (ABS, EBD, BAS, etc.).

In the steering complex "Japanese", the hydraulic control amplifier is standardly integrated.
