These things are the minivan 2.0.

I know you think you look cooler driving this than a minivan, but you don’t.

Save your money.

Just get the Armada Platinum it's the same thing...just as nice, without the Infiniti logo..and cheaper

And something cool I seen in it is the rearview mirror can either be a reflection as usual or a camera

Nissan's newest revisions to that 5.6 are awesome

Truth. My wife's Armada is a freaking rocket for such a big vehicle

No I’d buy a Lexus GX or LX over that.

This is the official vehicle for the private school soccer mom in my experience.

Meh....a minivan can't haul a good size boat or trailer.

Just got rid of ours. Loved it but we weren't going to go Infiniti again as there is no dealership in LC. Rides great, luxurious interior but now I would not buy it until they change body style, can just buy Nissan now.

Own it. Actually it’s my wife’s retirement present. Not a soccer mom either. Great for traveling. Interior is fine... don’t know what some people are dissing it about. Whatever.
No complaints. Got a good deal on it.. couldn’t pass on it. 2017

Looks good except for that steering wheel you can also find in a mid level 2005 Titan.

I have a 2015. I enjoy the ride very much. It is a solid vehicle and feels like you are on a cloud at times. This vehicle is the same as the Nissan Patrol, which is a heavy duty suv made overseas, and was never sold in the USA. The downsides is that it is dated technology wise, and the sheet metal on the doors feel thin. My explorer has solid doors that thud when you close them. If I were to buy a large luxury suv right now it would be a Navigator. Otherwise I plan to wait a few years until the next gen qx80 comes out.

The QX is prbably the best bargain compared to the full size luxury competitors. The Armada is now the sane car but if you value luxury service go for the QX80. The service dept is exceptional.

Expect 15 MPG. I assume gas mileage is not a concern.

Didn't need a vehicle that big, we got the QX60 fully loaded and the wife loves it.

I really like em, but as others have said, the “private school mom” crowd has the market tapped-out.

I’d much rather drive the new Navigator
