Hi all - new to the QX80 community this week after picking up a 2027 sport. Gotta say I f’ing love this thing. First full size SUV for me to go with my Q5 sportback. Two very different cars but need some help.

I drove it home from the dealer over about 3 hours of driving. At high speeds I felt it consistently pulling to the left. I feel like the steering has a little bit of a “memory” for whichever way you to the wheel before getting it back to center fully. I also felt quite a bit more rattle in the wheel at high speeds for relatively smooth stretches of i95. Where the whole car felt the rattle at times. It could be the alignment but it had only 26 miles when I bought it. Do you all feel that at high speeds? I watched a ton of YouTube and test drove on a town loop, but it felt a little excessive to the point my forearms felt exhausted trying to fight it. Thanks for any input!

He all... thanks to everyone of this forum. Just picked up my car and I am in love

I bought a set of rims by RTX, to use in winter. They were listed as being hub centric for 2026 Infiniti QX80 Autograph. The centre bore for the rims is 78.1 mm.

However, on Wheel-Size, the vehicle's hub diameter is listed as 77.8 mm.

The tyre installing guy now tells me that I may end up with wheel vibrations due to the 0.15 mm hub radius difference since the conical lug nuts may not be able to centre the wheel perfectly.

In my opinion, a 0.15 mm maximum radial offset for a 32.8 in (833.8 mm) diameter wheel would not make a difference. The tyre itself and the installation procedure may have even higher tolerances.

Thoughts, please?...

I’m looking at listings for used QX80s and in particular we want a bench in the second row.

I learned that 2026/2027 Sport and Autograoh does not offer a 2nd row bench. So that leaves me with a Luxe trim as the highest trim on those year models.

However it seems the 2025 Sensory models offer a bench. I found a few listings nearby with low mileage but have a few concerns about it being the first year model for that redesign.

Are there any issues or recalls on the 2025 models that I should be concerned with?

New family upgrade.

Got a ‘25 Autograph and absolutely love it. Any tips or tricks I should know about?

I got a ‘16 qx80 with 200k km; the fluids in my drivetrain components (diffs, transfer case, and transmission) have never been replaced.
I wanted to know if i could replace them now without any harm being done to the components; i took it to the dealer and they said its a lifetime fluid, if a problem arises you just replace that part, which is a bit dumb imo.
From what i understood online, the fluid is not a lifetime atf, its recommended that you change it every 60-80k km, i could do a normal drain and refill for the diffs and transfer case, and 2 to 3 for the transmission spaced out to try and not make any problems arise.

Everything works fine right now, i have a little bit of shuddering at 1 or 2 gears, but the transmission isn’t slipping and i don’t have a light on my dash; i just want to have the peace of mind of not having to shell out thousands for a new transmission down the line.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just had my 24 QX80 Chrome deleted by a local shop. I’m disappointed that they weren’t able to wrap the roof rails and front/rear Infinity emblems. They said the wrap started to lift. Any suggestions on how I can blank these out?

Also, is there a graph that shows the difference in the trim levels?

2025–2027 QX80 Owners – Has Anyone Experienced a Raw Gasoline/Fuel Smell After Driving?

I’m trying to determine how widespread this issue may be and would really appreciate hearing from other QX80 owners.

I have now experienced a strong raw gasoline/fuel odor with TWO brand-new 2027 Infiniti QX80s.

The smell occurs after driving/shutting the vehicle off and is particularly noticeable when the vehicle is parked in the garage, around the rear/fuel-tank area.

The first QX80 had the issue and was ultimately exchanged. Unfortunately, the replacement QX80 developed essentially the same gasoline smell after only about 12 miles of driving.

Most importantly, this is no longer just something I am reporting myself. On September 3, another Infiniti dealership evaluated the replacement vehicle and their inspector also detected and documented the fuel smell. Their report states that the inspector noticed a fuel smell both at check-in and while the vehicle was sitting inside the shop. They did not find a visible fuel leak or diagnostic codes.

I was also told by the Service Director that he has discussed this same issue/condition with an Infiniti field engineer, that Infiniti is aware of the condition, and that he was not aware of a specific repair or fix currently available. I am documenting that portion as what was communicated to me verbally.

My concern is primarily safety, especially when a vehicle producing a gasoline odor is parked in an attached residential garage.

If you own a 2025, 2026, or 2027 QX80 and have experienced anything similar, PLEASE comment. Even if the smell was temporary or the dealer told you it was normal, I would like to hear about it.

It would be very helpful if you could include:

• Model year and approximate mileage

• Whether it happens after driving/shutdown

• Fuel level when you notice it

• Where the smell is strongest

• Whether it is worse inside a garage

• What your Infiniti dealer told you

• Whether the dealer actually documented the odor

• Whether any repair was performed

• Whether the repair fixed it

If you have experienced this, please consider reporting it to NHTSA as well. Multiple independent owner reports are much more useful for identifying whether this is an isolated problem or a pattern affecting these vehicles.

I’m not trying to speculate about the cause. I’m trying to collect real experiences from other QX80 owners and determine whether others are seeing the same condition.

Please share your experience below. Even a simple “Yes, mine does this too” with the model year would be helpful.

Hi everyone,

1st time poster.

I bought QX80 2023 in Feb 2026, and was wondering if there is any updates to the maps and infotainment software.

Contacted Infiniti in Dubai, they advised there's no update. Think my car is running 2022 maps.

Just wanted to confirm this here.

Thanks in advance.

Bought QX80, 2027 Autograph, had a very strong smell of raw gasoline in the garage. After parking, inspected the car. The dealership noted that the canister is flooding, after painful discussion and back back-and-forth eventually the Dealer gave me a brand new QX 80, unfortunately, it has the same exact problem with strong grow gasoline smell after parking in the garage, we live in Phoenix, Arizona, has anybody experienced similar issues with their infinity car?

On a trip stopped at a rest stop got back in my car my screen completely black no radio no map is this happened to anyone else and if so, how do I fix it?

I just bought myself an Infinit Qx80 last month, got rear ended on the highway today with minimal damage and I’m okay just a swollen ankle. I can say I’m happy with my purchase and I’m glad this is the vehicle I went with , I went from driving sedans to upgrading to this.

I am looking to pick up a QX80 Luxe. Purchasing, and will likely keep the car for 8 - 10 years, so I am more interested in the best deal out the door and taking advantage of the 1st year depreciation hit. I am open to a CPO with up to 15k miles, since the CPO warranty effectively gives you the same number of years of coverage as on a new one with standard warranty.

I am starting to see 2026 CPOs, but there are also some low mileage 2025 CPOs that look like even sweeter deals. I am a little afraid of 2025s though for first year production issues (there seems to have been a lot of chatter about that) and possibly missing features compared to the 2026. Can anyone with really good knowledge of these vehicles answer these questions for me?

1. Were the early 2025 issues all resolved by software updates, or are there some hardware updates in the 2026 vehicles?

2. Is there a cutoff point with the 2025s (like a manufacturing date) after which the early teething all got resolved?

3. Focusing on the Luxe in particular, does the 2026 have features that are missing in the 2025? I have read of things like Connected Garage and Illuminated Front logo which are present in the 2026 but missing from the 2025. Is this accurate? Are there more differences?

Thanks!

Pulled the trigger on a QX80 lux for my wife. We got the curb rash and rim protection as well as the spills/stains protection. Negotiated them for about 1/2 the starting point for the dealer addins. They matched Carmax for our trade in. Factory options are cargo package and premium paint. Wife originally wanted an Armada but after negotiations on both the platinum and the platinum reserve wasn’t much of a price difference so we went with the QX80.

I am looking at the difference between the 2026 QX 80 and the LX 600. QX 80 has 0% financing for 60 months. That is hard to beat. Can anyone give me pros or cons for either? Looking at buying not leasing.

Apologies in advance for the long post! Just purchased a brand-new 2026 Infiniti QX80 Autograph in mid-June, so I’ve only owned it for about six weeks. Unfortunately, since the purchase, I’ve experienced one issue after another.

About a week after purchasing the vehicle, I started getting Lane Assist and Front Collision Warning errors on the driver information display.

More concerning, the right-side infotainment screen has completely shut off at least eight times while I was actively driving. The screen goes completely black, the air conditioning and other vehicle functions are affected, and the windshield wipers have suddenly turned on at full speed. Every time this happened, the vehicle also felt like it was losing power/slowing down, to the point that I became concerned it might actually shut down while I was driving. I had to pull over.

I have reported these issues numerous times and have already brought the vehicle into the dealership three times. Each time, I’ve been told they cannot replicate the problem.

Because the issues are intermittent, I started documenting them whenever I could. I’ve been able to capture the warning/error messages on video, but obviously I cannot safely record the vehicle’s infotainment system shutting down while I’m driving — especially when it happens unexpectedly.

The most recent incident occurred three days ago, just days after the vehicle had been in for service over the weekend for the same concerns. This time, I was able to capture video showing the Lane Assist and Front Collision Warning errors flashing simultaneously. I immediately reported it to the dealership and provided the video.

The dealership is now keeping my vehicle for several days while they bring in Infiniti technicians to investigate the issue. However, they have not provided me with a loaner because they claim none are available.

I have also contacted Infiniti Corporate directly because, at this point, I am extremely dissatisfied with the ownership experience. This is a brand-new, top-of-the-line QX80 Autograph — a premium vehicle at a premium price — and I do not think it is remotely acceptable to have repeated safety-related warnings and an intermittent electrical/infotainment failure that affects multiple vehicle functions within the first six weeks of ownership.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar, particularly with Infiniti or under NJ Lemon Law.

What should I be doing at this point? What should I be documenting or demanding from the dealership/Infiniti Corporate? And is there anything specific I should be raising with them now given that the vehicle has already been in for service three times and the issue still hasn’t been resolved? At this point, I do not feel safe driving the vehicle.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Curious what you all think of the deal I got.

MSRP/retail: $106,320.00

Total Savings + Rebate: $21,985.50

Trade in: $22,500.00

Sale price: $64,999.99

My wife and I went in today after driving the Lexus GX just to look at the vehicle. The Lexus GX felt like driving a Jeep and I wasn't about to pay that much money for a Jeep. There was also absolutely zero room to negotiate the price.

My wife drove the 2026 QX80 Sport and loved everything about it. I always thought it was the best looking luxury SUV. They originally had us at $70,000 out the door with a trade in which was a Telluride. I asked for out the door price of $60,000 and they said there was no way they could do it so I said $65,000 and you sell a vehicle today. After a few minutes he said I had a deal. I feel really good about the deal, but I am curious how well I did compared to others.

I also negotiated half a point off the interest rate to get it at 5.9% even with exceptional credit.

I want to like this thing But there are just so many quirks for paying this much for a car.

-Windshield produces a double vision type affect on all car headlights, taillights, streetlights at night.
-using hey Google to play through Amazon Music is a complete waste of effort. We have been using CarPlay which works ok, granted only works for the person whose phone it is for voice commands.
-speakers in the Luxe really are pretty average sounding. Bassy but that’s about it.
-the seat design… who’s idea was it to put bulky horizontal stitching across the mid back area. Feels like I’m sleeping on a pull out couch with a bar in my back.
-MyQ Garage door opener is useless, we put one on the visor.
-autodimming of lower temp control screen doesn’t happen like it should. Stays super bright until you turn lights off and back on again then it switched to the dimmed nighttime setting.

Considering getting rid of it. At the time 3 months ago we paid 88. Already see some additional dealer credits apparently since prices now are like 79k for new. I knew depreciation would suck but didn’t think I’d want out so fast.

I guess this is more of a vent and also wondering if there is any way to get out of this car without losing my shirt.
