About this model
The Infiniti QX80 is a full-size luxury SUV marketed by Nissan's luxury division Infiniti since the 2004 model year. The first-generation QX56 was built in the United States and is based on the first-generation Armada. The second-generation model was released in 2010 as a model produced in Japan, which used the sixth-generation Patrol as the base vehicle instead. Since the 2014 model year in 2013, the vehicle was renamed to the QX80 as Infiniti renamed their entire product line under a new nomenclature.

Where it stands out against its peers
- Electrical system: more complaints than 93% of 2019 cars — 40% of its 20 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 20%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
