Past its expiration date: Infiniti QX80 review

Enlarge / The Infiniti QX80 on a cold winter day. (credit: Eric Bangeman)

As the old saying goes: you never get a second chance to make a first impression. When I climbed into the Infiniti QX80 for the first time, one of the first things I saw was a monochromatic LCD display smack-dab in the middle of the instrument panel. I looked at the Monroney sticker sitting on the passenger seat and saw a price tag north of $90,000. The juxtaposition of a display that would look at home in the decade-old cars in my garage with the luxurious interior trim left me with the impression that Infiniti made some odd choices with the QX80—an impression that I never managed to shake in my week with the vehicle.

The QX80 is the flagship of Infiniti's SUV lineup. It's a true full-size, three-row SUV, competing with the Mercedes GLS, Lexus LX, and Lincoln Navigator for the hearts and wallets of large families and folks who want a massive, spacious vehicle to tool around in. The QX80 underwent an overhaul for the 2018 model year, getting an exterior redesign that elongated the body and made it appear longer. For 2019, Infiniti added a Limited model with dark, machine-finished 22-inch wheels.

Pricing for the QX80 starts at $65,100 for a front-wheel-drive model; if you want all-wheel drive, you'll need to fork out another $3,000. Our review model was the QX80 Limited, which comes with all the fixin's—theater package, driver-assist, the aforementioned 22-inch wheels, and more—and a price tag of $91,450. This expensive beast is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 capable of 400hp (298kW) at 5,800rpm and 413lb-ft (560Nm) of torque at 4,000rpm. That's paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, which I prefer to the continuously variable transmission in the QX50 and QX60. If you need to drive your QX80 over some nasty terrain, it has a crawl ration of 1.0 in 4WD high and 2.7 in 4WD low.

18 Luxury Vehicles With the Lowest Depreciation Rates

Unless you’re buying a limited-run exotic, depreciation is just something you have to accept when you buy a new car. It might not lose half its value the second you drive it off the lot, but even a year or two later, it can be shocking to find out how little your car is worth. And because luxury cars cost so much in the first place, that depreciation can cost you big time.

If you want to find out which luxury cars depreciate the fastest, be sure to check out that list HERE. But if you’d like to see which ones depreciate the slowest, we have great news. According to IntelliChoice’s estimates, these 18 vehicles all retain at least 50 percent of their original value after five years.

Volvo XC60 – 50.1%

Volvo knocked it out of the park when it redesigned its midsize crossover. The XC60 is easily one of the most stylish choices in the segment, and its cabin is equally good-looking. Even better, unlike some of its competitors, you can expect to get a little more than half your money back if you decide to sell five years from now.

Infiniti QX60 – 50.2%

If you’re surprised to see the QX60 on this list, we understand. After all, it hasn’t been redesigned since the 2013 model year, and Infinitis don’t quite have Lexus’ reputation for bulletproof reliability. But there’s enough demand for this spacious crossover to keep its resale value above 50 percent.

BMW X5 – 50.5%

The X5 offers an impressive amount of cargo capacity, making it a practical choice for small families. But even its base engine is plenty powerful, plus it’s much more agile than its size would suggest. Add it all together, and you have a recipe for impressive resale value.

Mercedes-Benz GLE – 50.6%

We can’t imagine anyone is actually going to notice a 0.1 percent difference in resale value, especially if they like driving the X5 better. But as fierce as the competition is among midsize SUVs these days, we have a feeling Mercedes is proud to top BMW here. Even if it is by such a small margin.

Mercedes-Benz GLC – 50.7%

The GLC’s high-quality, exceptionally luxurious cabin and impressive list of tech features helped it win our 2017 SUV of the Year competition. And although we can’t prove that our award has anything to do with the GLC’s resale value, we’d like to think it at least helped a little. The new 2020 GLC is shown here.

Audi Q5 – 51.0%

The Q5 was already Audi’s best-selling model, but for 2018, it got a full redesign, moved to a new platform, and received upgrades all around. Add in impressive resale value, and you have all sorts of reasons to take a serious look at the new Q5.

BMW X4 – 51.0%

  The X4’s coupelike roofline has proven to be plenty controversial ever since it was introduced, but if you like the styling, who cares? It’s basically an X3 with a different look, and it should hold its value as well as or better than the vast majority of its competitors.

Audi Q7 – 51.1%

Unlike some of its competitors, the Audi Q7 comes standard with all-wheel drive and seating for seven. Add in a nicely designed interior and some slick tech features, and it makes sense that people willingly pay a premium for a used one.

BMW X3 – 51.1%

The X3 shares a lot with the X4, so it would make sense that they’d both have similar resale values. But with its more conventional crossover shape, you can also expect there to be more demand down the line. As a result, depreciation should be slightly less.

Lexus LX – 51.7%

It’s easy to make fun of the Lexus LX. It’s pricey and outdated, it gets terrible gas mileage, and it wears one of the worst examples of Lexus’ Predator grille. But because it’s a reskinned Land Cruiser, it’s also built to run for hundreds of thousands of miles. When the warranty is up on a full-size luxury SUV, having a reputation for legendary durability is bound to help resale value.

Lexus GX – 53.4%

Like the LX, the GX is a much more capable off-roader than its Lexus badge would suggest. That’s because it’s actually a Land Cruiser Prado with a luxury interior and different bodywork. With a similar reputation for durability and a more maneuverable size, it’s no surprise to see the GX this high on the list.

Land Rover Discovery – 53.4%

In the same way Lexus has a reputation for building some of the most reliable cars you can buy, Land Rover has a reputation for doing the complete opposite. As a result, most of its lineup is synonymous with high maintenance costs and rapid depreciation. But somehow, the Discovery has managed to buck that trend.

Lexus NX – 53.5%

As you’ve already seen, Lexus’ body-on-frame SUVs make great long-term buys. But buyers who care about fuel efficiency will be much better served buying a crossover such as the NX. Odds are that’s a factor in the NX’s better depreciation, as well.

Lexus RX – 53.5%

In general, the qualities that make the Lexus NX a desirable vehicle also apply to the RX. Sure, the handling isn’t quite as sharp, but if you want a comfortable, reliable crossover that will last you for years, the RX is an easy choice. As you can see, it will also hold its value well.

Porsche Cayenne – 55.0%

As long as you like lots of buttons in the cabin, Porsches are some of the best cars you can buy. Period. They’re also typically more expensive than the competition. But considering how well they hold their value, maybe it’s easier to justify paying the premium.

Porsche 911 – 57.5%

If you noticed a trend with this list so far, you’re not crazy. Despite the fact that we included all vehicles, the first 15 were all utility vehicles. The 911 is not only the first car to make the list, but it’s also impressively close to the No. 1 spot.

Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman – 58.7%

When the Boxster was first introduced, its lower price meant it was often maligned as the Porsche you bought when you couldn’t afford a 911. Two decades later, it’s more than proven that both it and the Cayman are real Porsches. And surprisingly, it beats the 911 in the depreciation department.

Porsche Macan – 62.4%

You wouldn’t expect the most affordable Porsche to hold its value better than any other car in the lineup. But as you can see from the No. 1 entry on our list, that’s exactly what the data shows. The Macan also holds its value better than any other luxury vehicle you can buy in the U.S. Who could have seen that coming?

2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen: Specs, Release Date, Price, Redesign. After almost four decades, precisely since 1979 when it has been first presented to the public, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or also known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen hasn’t been changed much. Perhaps, at first sight, the brand-new 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen might not seem to feature some major changes, but we must underline that it could just seem like that.

Image credit: motorauthority.com

It could also get the most powerful V-12 unit in the range-topping model. The G-Wagen is expensive and for a more modest version which also has very good off-road capabilities, you might check the Jeep Wrangler.

Bentley Bentayga, Lincoln Navigator, Lexus LX, BMW X7, and Land Rover Range Rover will be its main competitors.

2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen powertrain

Depending on a trim level, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will be powered by three engines. The base G550s will get a 4.0-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine which will be capable of making 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful version will be a V-12 unit which will be able to generate even 612 horsepower.

Speaking of the fuel economy, the base gets 13/14/13 mpg. The second is rated at 12/14/13 mpg while the range-topping gets 11/13/12 mpg in the city/highway/combined.

Design of exterior and interior

The new 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will use the same platform as before except it is now going to be four inches wider. The AMG versions will get a slightly different design of the grille and will be available with optional 20- and 21-inch wheels.

The cabin of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will get a more refined design and will look more modern. The cargo space in the G-Wagen is not its strongest point.

The standard equipment includes heated and cooled front seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, a steel sunroof, and automatic wipers. Among optional features, there are heated steering wheel and a rear-seat entertainment system. In the safety department, the G-Wagen comes with airbags, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitors, and adaptive cruise control.

Release date and price

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will most likely arrive later this year or at the beginning of the next. The price will start at around $123,600.

2018 LA Auto Show preview

New Post has been published on https://www.articletec.com/2018-la-auto-show-preview/

2018 LA Auto Show preview

The 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show was a good one, with more new cars, trucks and SUVs than one could easily shake a stick at. AutoMobility LA, as it’s also known, proved why it’s one of the most important auto shows in the calendar year by bringing out something new to entice just about everyone who loves cars. Anyone who sets foot in the Los Angeles Convention Center from Nov. 30 to Dec. 9 during the show’s public days will not be disappointed.

While auto shows often tend to end up focusing on a single vehicle class — think SUVs at the Chicago Auto Show or exotics at Geneva — the LA show didn’t seem to this year. But, as we learned from Seinfeld, something lacking a central focus can still be highly entertaining. With debuts ranging from the highly anticipated Wrangler-based Jeep Gladiator pickup to the next Kia Soul, Mazda3, Porsche 911 and all-new Hyundai Palisade SUV, Roadshow’s staff found themselves pretty busy putting their butts in all the new seats.

Here’s our roundup of the most important debuts so that you’ll know what to look out for if you find yourself in LA or if you find yourself shopping for a new ride in a few months. For even more detailed look, be sure to visit our 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show landing page — it’s a convenient way to access all the in-depth coverage of all the individual models that we looked at this week.

Audi

The Audi E-Tron GT is still a concept car — and holy hell is it a good-looking one — though it will lead to a full production model that launches in late 2020. Its powertrain technology is closely related to that in the forthcoming Porsche Taycan, and that’s a good thing. The key specs that you need to know: It’s got a 90-kWh battery pack giving it a 248-mile range, as well as 590 total system horsepower and a 0-60-mph time of 3.5 seconds. The E-Tron GT will help Audi get toward its goal of selling 20 electrified models by 2025, and if more of them look like this, then we’re all for it.

Bentley

We already love the new Bentley Continental GT, and now there’s a fabulous convertible version that can do 207 miles per hour. The top, which Bentley says keeps the cabin 3 decibels quieter than in the old Conti GT convertible, can open or close in just 19 seconds when traveling at speeds up to 30 mph. Under the hood is a 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, good for 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The convertible is 375 pounds heavier than the coupe, but will still get to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The new Conti GT made its debut in Los Angeles during the week of the show, but strangely, was not at the show itself.

BMW

BMW debuted its little heart out with a full lineup of hot new luxo-missiles, the most important of which is the M340i xDrive. BMW gave us a glimpse of the 330i at the Geneva Motor Show, and our man Steven Ewing got a chance to get behind the wheel of the new G20-generation 330i at the Nurburgring. This LA debut showed us the most aggressive version (so far) of the next 3 Series, which will make 369 horsepower from its turbocharged straight-six. After seeing it in the metal, we can confirm that it’s much more interesting in person, with its more aggressive exterior and interior.

BMW also had the new 8 Series Convertible on hand along with the Vision iNext concept (which still looks like a dye pack exploded inside) and its full-size, three-row X7 SUV, which you can read more about here.

Fiat

Fiat’s subcompact 500X crossover SUV has been on sale in North America since 2016, but it hasn’t quite caught fire with consumers (maybe it would if it looked more like the Multipla from the late 1990s and early 2000s). For 2019, a refreshed model debuts with slightly different looks, a new engine, standard all-wheel drive and a greatly simplified model range.

Slight downsizing has occurred in the engine bay, where the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine or 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine has been replaced with a single 1.3-liter turbo unit. Despite the size reduction, the new engine actually produces a lot more torque than its predecessors: 210 pound-feet (versus 184 pound-feet in the 1.4-liter or 175 in the 2.4-liter). That should make it feel sprightlier than last year’s model, despite the fact that horsepower remains modest at 177.

For 2019, the six-speed manual transmission has been nixed, meaning it’s nine-speed automatic or nothing. Front-wheel-drive configurations have also been discontinued.

On the plus side, a newly upgraded Uconnect 4 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, and adaptive cruise control and front park assist are now standard. 

Honda

Honda’s Passport expired in 2002, but the nameplate has been resurrected (with 100 percent less Isuzu) as a two-row, five-passenger crossover that slots in sizewise between the CR-V and the Pilot, though it’s built on the same Honda Global Light Truck platform used for the Pilot and Ridgeline. The Honda Passport will launch early next year with rugged-adjacent looks and a 3.5-liter V6 engine churning out 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It’ll be able to tow as much as 5,000 pounds if optioned correctly, and Honda will offer all manner of roof-mounted racks and accessories.

Honda sees the Passport competing with the likes of the Nissan Murano and revitalized Ford Edge, though Honda’s entry does seem a little more rugged than those entries.

Hyundai

This year Hyundai debuted the 2020 Palisade, a new three-row, midsize crossover, and gave the first one to a couple who adopted four orphaned siblings. This isn’t Hyundai’s first crack at a three-row SUV — you may recall that the short-lived Veracruz fit that bill, followed by the more successful three-row Santa Fe and its recently renamed twin, the Santa Fe XL — but it does seem like an attractive and well-considered option.

Hyundai recently told Roadshow that the midsize SUV segment moves about 1.5 million units per year in North America, so it will be interesting to see how many of those sales the Palisade will capture when it hits dealers next summer.

Jeep

If this year’s LA Auto Show was about one thing, it was the 2020 Gladiator pickup truck. Jeep hasn’t offered a pickup truck in its lineup since the Cherokee-based MJ Comanche pickup of the late ’80s and early ’90s and if the internet’s reaction to it is any kind of barometer, it’s going to be a hit.

While it’s easy to write off the Gladiator as just a Wrangler with a pickup bed, there are a bunch of differences. For instance, it’s got a unique five-link rear suspension setup and can tow much more than the standard Wrangler, a segment-best 7,650 pounds and a payload of up to 1,600 pounds. A 3.6-liter V6 engine is standard, but we know that a turbodiesel will be offered at a later date. Don’t hold your breath for the turbo four-cylinder version.

Other Wrangler-derived conveniences and capabilities transfer to the Gladiator, such as the folding windshield with available removable hardtops and a folding soft top, plus the ability to ford 30 inches of water when you elect the tough Rubicon model. Mopar also showed off a ton of awesome accessories that will help make your Gladiator unique on the trail. 

Kia

Kia brought the new, third generation of the Soul to the LA show. It has sharper styling, more tech and even an X-Line variant with a slightly more rugged look (read: black plastic fender trim). Powertrain choices comprise a 147-horsepower, 2.0-liter Nu inline-four and a 201-hp, 1.6-liter turbo option. Kia also introduced the 2020 Soul EV, which has a 64-kWh battery pack that should yield a driving range of at least 200 miles, though we’re still waiting on an exact number. Speaking of electric Kias, there’s also a new Niro EV. Like the Soul EV, it has a 64-kWh battery pack and a motor rated for 201 horsepower; Kia says it will return 239 miles of range on a single charge. The hamsters, thankfully, were nowhere to be seen.

Lexus

The Toyota Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX 570 is old, though it has received three face-lifts over the past 11 years. Rather than bringing a redesign to the LA Auto Show, Lexus is just showed off the 2019 LX with a new appearance package called the Inspiration Series. In a nutshell, you’re dealing with an ordinary LX 570, but “murdered out” as the kids say, with blacked-out 21-inch wheels and a black grille, along with several other dark bits to peg the sinister meters. The Inspiration Series also pegs the price alarms with its $100,420 MSRP, but that’s due to a lot of bundled-in optional features.

Only 500 units of the LX Inspiration Series will be made, so place your orders now. While you’re at it, you can learn more about this special SUV here.

Lincoln

First shown in concept form this past March at the New York International Auto Show, the Lincoln Aviator was the belle of the ball with its head-turning looks and cutting-edge features. Now the production 2020 Aviator has been fully revealed, with three rows of seating, rakish design and two powertrain options.

Buyers can pick between a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, with either rear- or all-wheel drive. A plug-in hybrid option is rated for 450 horsepower and 600 pound-feet, though Lincoln hasn’t yet offered any details on electric driving range or efficiency. Other luxurious and high-tech features include the ability to use your smartphone as the car’s “key,” a four-corner air suspension that uses a camera to “read” the road and react to bumps proactively, a 28-speaker Revel audio system and Lincoln’s CoPilot360 Plus active-safety suite. The fact that Lincoln used the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for the Aviator’s warning tones also truly resonates with our inner car nerds.

Mazda

The fourth-generation 2019 Mazda3 is now here, with both sedan and hatchback versions that follow the styling language previewed by the Mazda Kai concept shown at last year’s Tokyo Motor Show. The new car will go on sale in early 2019.

There are lots of changes beneath the surface, too. The Mazda3 base engine will still be a 2.5-liter inline-four, with either manual or automatic transmissions with six speeds. The 3 is also the first production Mazda to use the company’s Skyactiv-X compression-ignition engine, which uses a supercharger and a mild-hybrid motor assist. As if that’s not enough, the Mazda3 also boasts an upgraded 8.8-inch infotainment system and an infrared eye-tracking Driver Monitoring System that can tell if the driver is looking away from the road.

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-AMG used the LA show to reveal the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro, which is an even more bonkers version of the already certifiable AMG GT R. There’s no power increase, with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 still putting out 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, but the GT R Pro benefits from a revised coilover suspension, adjustable anti-roll bars, carbon-ceramic brakes and retuned dynamic engine mounts. It also adds the AMG Dynamics stability control system, which has Basic, Advanced, Pro and Master modes.

Along with the Pro, of course, AMG has updated all versions of the GT coupe and convertibles with tweaks like restyled headlights, a new rear diffuser, a fully digital instrument cluster and some other interior switchgear changes. Oh, and those vents on top of the fenders are totally making the Roadshow staff swoon.

Mini

Ever since the first Mini arrived in 1959, the brand has been no stranger to special editions. Yet another one will make its North American premiere at the 2019 LA Auto Show. The Mini John Cooper Works Knights Edition takes a run-of-the-mill John Cooper Works Hardtop and drizzles it with a black and silver shining-armor theme.

The Knights Edition also features a John Cooper Works variable exhaust straight out of the accessories catalog that will let you drive stealthily or broadcast to the world that you’re fine with being small and loud, like Gilbert Gottfried. Read more about the John Cooper Works Knights Edition here.

Nissan

Nissan is updating its “four-door sports car” for the 2019 model year, giving the Maxima a slightly revised look inside and out, as well as extra safety technology on the inside. There’s also a new Platinum Reserve style package and a new orange interior stitching for the SR trim level. The car still uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine that sends 300 horsepower to the front wheels. Similarly, the 2019 Nissan Murano crossover receives an update with new lights, new interior trim pieces and a new grille design. It also adds more safety technology, and even diamond-quilted leather in the top-tier Platinum model.

Porsche

Southern California has long been Porsche’s most important market, so it’s only fitting that the sports car maker would choose LA to unveil the next generation of its most storied model, the 911. The 2020 911 debuted in Carrera S and 4S guises, with a 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six engine rated for 443 horsepower, which is 23 more than before. A new eight-speed PDK dual-clutch is your only transmission choice at launch, but Porsche promises a manual is on the way later.

At first blush the new 911 may not look that different than its predecessor, but the car is 1.77 inches wider up front with a bumper and headlight treatment reminiscent of the 993-generation 911 of the mid-1990s. It also has flush-mounted electric door handles and restyled, wide taillights. Extra technologies include features like a Wet Mode, which will adjust the stability and braking systems when it detects water on the road, and standard precollision braking.

Rivian

Electric-vehicle startup Rivian is used the LA show to reveal its R1T pickup truck and its R1S SUV. The pickup claims a 400-plus-mile range and a 0-60 time under 3 seconds, as well as impressive towing and payload ratings. The R1S is a three-row luxury crossover that is also designed for lots of off-roading. It’ll use the same motors and battery packs as the truck, though its driving range should be a little longer, at up to 410 miles of range if you elect the 180-kWh battery pack. When production time comes, Rivian has pledged to build its vehicles at the former Mitsubishi factory in Normal, Illinois. The R1T is due in fall 2020 and the R1S should come in early 2021.

Toyota

This is a huge year for Toyota at the LA Auto Show, with two major bread-and-butter debuts in the form of the all-wheel-drive Toyota Prius, which adds an electric motor to its rear axle to help it lure people away from crossovers, and the all-new 2020 Corolla Sedan, which also adds a hybrid powertrain for the first time in the US market. Those are all important debuts as they’re big sellers for Toyota and now will be even more appealing.

On top of that, Toyota is showing off the sporty-ish TRD versions of the Avalon and Camry.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen’s debut at the I.D. Buzz Cargo, the work-van version of the passenger van that debuted last year. In addition to looks that force you to be happy, the I.D. Buzz Cargo features a passenger compartment with three-across seating along with an electric driving range approaching 350 miles. The one at the show was gussied up to look like a racing support van and it made us feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.

We have a ton of additional information about the I.D. Buzz Cargo van, which you can check out here.

Volvo

Volvo brought a virtual reality demo of its fancy-pants 360c concept, a driverless car designed to leave the sensor hardware carbuncles behind for a smoother, less autonomous-looking (that is, more attractive) appearance. Other than that, Volvo isn’t planning to have any other production cars on display. It did, however, have a pile of Amazon boxes for people to sit on, so look forward to that, true believers.

Our editor-in-chief, Tim Stevens, recently got up close and personal with this innovative machine. You can read more about the autonomous 360c here.
