New Infiniti Q X 80. Test drive Infiniti QX70S Design: Date High Definition. Diagnostics Laboratory
The Infiniti QX80 is an all-wheel drive luxury SUV in the full-size segment, which is the “undisputed flagship” in the Japanese automaker’s model range, which combines an impressive appearance, a luxurious interior, rich equipment and good off-road potential...
Its main target audience- family men with high level income, who do not need anything, but through the “iron horse” want to demonstrate their “high social status”...
Premium SUV Infiniti The QX80 was born in 2013 - by renaming the QX56 model during a total rebranding of the lineup Japanese brand, having inherited both the design and the technical component from its predecessor without any major modifications... However, already in the spring of 2014, the public debut (on the catwalks of the New York Auto Show) celebrated the modernized version of the car, however, the update was limited only to “ little blood“- the five-door was slightly adjusted in appearance, new body and interior colors were added, and the list of available equipment was expanded, but no modifications were made to the equipment.
In November 2017, the Japanese “giant” underwent the second restyling in its life - it was presented to the general public as part of the international motor show in Dubai. And once again, the metamorphoses affected mainly the exterior - the front of the SUV was seriously redrawn, giving it a resemblance to other models of the brand, and the rear was slightly adjusted. True, the changes were not limited to this - the car received new seat upholstery with diamond-shaped stitching and door trim, as well as an improved multimedia complex.
With its entire appearance, the Infiniti QX80 inspires respect and awe, even when standing still, and looks brutal and very pretty, and thanks to the smooth curves of the corners and surfaces, it is also impressive and moderately harmonious.
On the presentable facade of the SUV, small LED “saber” optics are adjacent to a huge chrome “shield” radiator grille, and its monumental rear flaunts a large trunk lid and graceful taillights.
And from the side, the car impresses with its scope, emphasizing its majesty with “muscular” sides and wheel arches impressive size.
The overall dimensions of the Infiniti QX80 are truly gigantic: the length of the car is 5340 mm, height – 1925 mm, width – 2030 mm. Between the pairs of wheels the “Japanese” has a place for a 3075 mm wheelbase, and under the “belly” one can see ground clearance measuring 234 mm.
The interior of the Japanese “giant” looks attractive and moderately presentable, although somewhat rustic compared to many competitors, but is distinguished by careful thought and highest quality execution.
There is nothing inappropriate or shocking on the front panel of the SUV, everything is very clear and very ergonomic. The instrument cluster is beautiful and informative, large steering wheel convenient and multifunctional, and the solid center console is logically divided into three “thematic floors”: the first controls “climate”, the second controls “music”, and the third has an 8-inch screen for the infotainment system.
The decoration is finished exclusively with “thoroughbred” finishing materials – expensive plastics, high-quality leather and natural wood.
By default, the Infiniti QX80 has seven-seater saloon. The plump front seats look good, but are not entirely comfortable in practice due to the short cushion and weak lateral support.
The rear row of seats, providing passengers with royal space, is divided in the middle by a massive cabinet, and can optionally be replaced with a full-fledged sofa. A three-seater “gallery” is more suitable for only two riders, but it does not suffer from a lack of space.
Even when fully loaded with passengers, the Infiniti QX80 has a 470-liter compartment left to accommodate luggage. The seats of the second and third rows fold electrically into a completely flat area: in the first case, the volume increases to 1400 liters, and in the second – to 2690 liters. Spare wheel the car is attached under the bottom.
The Japanese SUV is propelled by a powerful gasoline engine VK56VD is an aluminum V-shaped “eight” with a volume of 5.6 liters (5552 cubic centimeters) with direct injection, 32-valve timing, dual overhead camshafts driven by a chain, and a VVEL system that varies valve lift.
Motor responding environmental requirements“Euro-4” produces a peak of 405 “horses” at 5800 rpm and 560 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm, and is equipped with a 7-speed “automatic” with a “manual” mode and drive wheels on both axles.
The All Mode 4×4 all-wheel drive transmission on the Infiniti QX80 is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch in the drive of the front axles and “flaunts” three operating modes:
- Auto – as you slip rear wheels up to 50% of the torque is directed to the front;
- 4H – traction is divided between the axles in equal shares (the clutch is rigidly locked);
- 4L – downshift started.
But with off-road capabilities, due to its solid size, this “Japanese” is not doing well: its approach, departure and ramp angles are 20.9, 22.3 and 20.7 degrees, respectively.
But in road disciplines the car demonstrates excellent results: this “giant” reaches a maximum speed of 210 km/h, and shoots from zero to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds.
In combined driving mode, the five-door consumes 14.5 liters of fuel per “hundred” (20.6 liters are “destroyed” in the city and 11 liters on the highway).
The basis for the Infiniti QX80 is the platform from Nissan Patrol with a frame integrated into the load-bearing frame of the body and having programmed deformation zones at the front and rear, and a longitudinally oriented engine.
The SUV has independent suspension on both axles: “double-link” in the front and “multi-link” in the rear. By default, the car is equipped with HBMC anti-roll technology, which eliminates vibrations and body rolls thanks to the locking hydraulic locks of the front and rear stabilizers under lateral loads.
“In a circle” the five-door demonstrates ventilated discs brake system with a diameter of 350 mm, working in conjunction with a large number of modern gadgets (ABS, EBD, BAS, etc.).
The steering complex of the “Japanese” has a hydraulic power steering integrated as standard.
In the Russian market Infiniti QX80 2018 model year It is offered in two trim levels – “Luxe” and “Luxe ProActive”. The first equipment option with a seven-seat cabin costs a minimum of 4,855,000 rubles, and the second - 5,185,000 rubles (the surcharge for an eight-seat interior in both cases is 15,000 rubles).
- The initial version boasts: eight airbags, 22-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, multimedia complex, audio system with 13 speakers, all-round cameras, system automatic parking, heated, ventilated and electric front seats, heated second row of seats, electric trunk lid, leather trim, ABS, TSC, VDC, three-zone climate control, keyless entry system and a bunch of other equipment.
- The more expensive version additionally has: adaptive cruise control, a rear-view mirror with a built-in display, a lane tracking system, blind spot monitoring, collision avoidance technology and some other bells and whistles.
Sales of the full-size Infiniti QX55 SUV began in the spring of 2004. The car was created on a common platform with the Nissan Pathfinder Armada. Both of these machines are manufactured at HMC's new facility in Canton, Mississippi, USA. The design of the car is based on a closed-type spar frame. The Infiniti QX 55 model uses front and rear independent suspensions. A new one was developed for the car power unit DOHC V8 with a displacement of 5.6 liters and a power of 340 horsepower. A similar engine is installed in the Pathfinder Armada and full-size pickup truck. Nissan Titan. The car is also equipped with the Shift-On-The-Fly all-wheel drive system. .
The full-size Infiniti QX56 SUV is a luxury vehicle designed specifically for the North American market. The car is positioned as an improved, more expensive and high-quality version of an SUV Nissan Pathfinder Armada. Another close relative of the car is Nissan pickup Titan. For the first time Infiniti model The QX 56 was shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2004. In 2006, the car underwent restyling, and in 2007 it went on official sale in Russia. It is noteworthy that on Russian market Only the all-wheel drive version of the QX56 is available. A rear-wheel drive variant is also available in the US. In March 2010, the second generation of the premium SUV debuted. The car was developed on the basis of the Nissan Patrol 2010. The model has added length and width, but has become squat. Seven- and eight-seat versions of the Infiniti QX56 are available. The 2011 model year car is equipped with a 5.6-liter V8 engine that develops 400 horsepower. Working in tandem with a seven-speed automatic transmission the engine is capable of accelerating the car to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.
In April 2010, Infiniti introduced new version full-size crossover QX56. First, the car was demonstrated at the New York Auto Show, and in August it reached the Moscow Motor Show. Unlike previous generation, which was built on the basis of the Nissan Armada, the platform of the new SUV was adopted from the 7th generation Nissan Patrol. Also, the premium SUV has noticeably increased in width and length, the wheelbase has grown by 10 centimeters, and the ground clearance has increased to 22 centimeters. At the same time, the height of the car decreased by 8 centimeters. Externally, the Infiniti QX56 is similar to its prototype only in the sides of the body. Front and rear end the cars are made more sporty. Technical equipment QX56 copied from premium configuration Patrol models. A V8 engine is installed under the hood of the car, developing a power of 405 horsepower and working in conjunction with a 7-speed automatic transmission. System all-wheel drive represented by four-mode All-Mode-4WD. One of the main features of the suspension is the Hydraulic Body Control Motion system, which stabilizes the car when cornering. high speeds. SUV received frame structure, like the Nissan Patrol. Infiniti salon The 2011 QX56 seats seven and comes standard with leather upholstery. .

Common problems and diseases of Infiniti QX56 Z62
How problematic is a used Infiniti?
The first and main thing that all the owner reviews are full of is - increased wear of timing chains. In fact, this problem is not associated with any miscalculations by engineers in the engine, but is simply the result of the delivery of defective chains to the manufacturer's plant.
This deficiency is recognized by the Infinity representative office as widespread and the timing chains are replaced free of charge during the recall campaign. In other words, faulty fast-stretching timing chains on the QX56 are NOT the problem. You can find out if a certain Infiniti QX56 or QX80 is eligible for a chain replacement by calling any Infiniti OD.
When inspecting the Infiniti QX56 before purchasing using computer diagnostics it is necessary to find out the angles of the intake and exhaust camshafts under load and idle time - this will allow you to find out the degree of tension of the timing chain and the need to replace it. It is also worth bothering to ask the seller (if he is the owner) about documents for replacing the chain, if it was carried out. Without documents, there is no point in trusting sellers, just as there is no point in trusting resellers.
We emphasize that replacing timing chains Official dealer- is free, you are not obliged to agree to replace any other parts that the dealer “recommends” replacing. Usually MLs try to deceive clients additional work for replacement oil scraper rings and caps. In addition to the chains, there is a recall campaign for replacement rear control arms and fuel level sensor on QX56 and QX80.
Important! Only “racing” operation on a stretched chain will lead to chain jumping and further internal damage.
The second widely discussed problem with the Infinity Qx56 is oil glutton and oil starvation. There are a whole lot of unconfirmed and fictitious cases on this matter. First of all, it must be said that oil waste for VK56VD engines is the norm. Average consumption oils for 100 thousand kilometers real mileage car Infinity Qx56 - 1-1.5 liters of oil per 10,000 km.
Why it happens oil starvation QX56 Z62 (VK56VD)? Infiniti QX56 and QX80 do not have electronic system monitoring the engine oil level, i.e. no electronic probe, therefore, there are often cases when owners or resellers who ride before the sale drive an Infiniti QX56 with long runs They don’t monitor the oil level and are not interested in it at all. As a result, you can get scuffing of the working surfaces of the cylinders or RV beds or KV liners.
Low oil level and/or constant aggressive operation leads to local engine overheating. Overheating is very unpleasant for this motor, because... In addition to standard troubles and increased wear, direct injection and catalysts suffer. To check for symptoms of an overheated engine before purchasing, you need a long test drive, as well as examining the inside of the engine with an endoscope through the oil filler neck.
Catalyst problems QX56/QX80 Z62
Ceramic chips in cylinders and scuff marks
Does VK56VD motors pick up?? Despite the alusil coating of the cylinder walls of the aluminum block head, in this otherwise cast-iron engine, cases of scuffing are rare and are associated with long mileage and overheating, and not wear of the catalysts.
There are numerous reviews from owners of used Infiniti Qx56 indicating more frequent death of catalysts on this car than on the rest of the brand's lineup. Considering that the catalyst material is identical and the manufacturer has not changed, this situation may seem extremely strange.
In fact, everything is much simpler - the fact is that for engines VK56VD with direct injection(QX56, QX80, M56, Q70S) a more advanced and smarter engine ECU is installed. The algorithms of the new ECU allow earlier detection of a decrease in the efficiency of catalysts, compared to older versions (for example, VK56DE for the QX56 of the previous body, or all FX35 FX37).
As a result of earlier triggering of the algorithm, the end users of the car think about the lower reliability of the catalysts, when in reality on other cars the self-diagnosis system is simply not aware of the state of the exhaust pipe elements.
In most cases, if an error occurs with low efficiency of catalysts, there is no direct need to replace them or uproot them and reflash them to Euro2. It is necessary to dismantle the cathodes and their visual assessment. Usually it is enough to spot weld the mesh inside the catalyst in place so that the catalyst does not have a degree of freedom inside the metal casing.
If your catalysts really begin to deteriorate or melt, you cannot simply upgrade to EURO2 to correct the error. Collapsed catalysts must be cut out or replaced, otherwise the upper catalysts may begin to deteriorate and subsequently fill the cylinders with ceramic dust.
Are Infiniti QX56 problems with the engine and catalysts really that bad? Definitely not. Cases of destruction of cylinder coatings due to destroyed catalysts are less than 0.5%. The main reason for the destruction of the alusil coating of VK56VD cylinders is oil starvation and overheating. Therefore, we do not recommend proactively cutting or changing anything.

Infiniti Qx56 and Nissan Patrol do not like long, exhausting off-road conditions. Despite the presence of a frame and low gear- the transfer case of these cars overheats quite quickly when slipping. You should definitely check all off-road modes during a test drive. The absence of errors in the all-wheel drive system in this case does not mean anything.
What kind of suspension does the Infiniti QX56/QX80 have?
We understand the vinaigrette of air and hydraulic suspension Z62
The Z62 platform has a very clever hydropneumatic suspension. Let's start with the fact that pneuma is only available on the Infiniti QX and is absent on the Nissan Patrol companion platform; it is also necessary to emphasize that Infiniti pneuma is only available on the rear axle.
Pneuma is inactive and serves only for the comfort of rear passengers and body level control. Cases of faulty airbags or compressor are rare. There is NO air pressure at the front, and it is impossible to manually increase or decrease the ground clearance level.
The cost of an air suspension compressor for an Infiniti QX56 ranges from 25 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the city and type of retail chain. Pneumatic springs on the rear axle last an average of 200 thousand km, but most often significantly longer. The reason for replacing them is usually leakage of the fittings, as a result of which the machine falls back when idle at night.
The Infinity QX56/QX80 shock absorbers are not ordinary, but with hydraulic reservoirs connected to a common hydraulic circuit with pumps and two hydraulic accumulators. In essence, this system is an analogue of the ABC (Active Body Control) hydraulic suspension from Mercedes, with the only difference being that in Infiniti the ground clearance is not regulated by pressure in the hydraulic struts, because The hydraulic struts are made a little differently.
The Z62's hydraulic suspension serves as both shock absorbers and body roll stabilization. In terms of changing stiffness and ground clearance, the system is passive and does not have a range of changes/adjustments. The roll suppression mechanism, on the contrary, is active even when cornering, with a delay, but tries to control the roll and sway of the body. The rigidity of the system cannot be changed; the system is not controlled by the driver.
Despite the technical complexity of the hydraulic suspension, Infinity has virtually no problems with the integrity of the hydraulic circuit, accumulators or pumps.
How is the QX56 different from the QX80?
What is the difference between the Infiniti QX56 and the Nissan Patrol?
The main difference in technology is different brake mechanisms and different diameters of brake and wheel discs.
The QX56 has floating calipers for a larger diameter brake disc than the Patrol, which has standard Akebono brakes like the FX37 and other cars.
Wheels on the Infiniti QX56/QX80 were standardly installed only R22.
The Nissan Patrol does not have rear passive air suspension, but the hydraulic suspension is exactly the same.
