DRIVEN: Infiniti QX80 SUV - an American in Malaysia - Paul Tan's Automotive News
This is the Infiniti QX80, a huge luxury SUV that competes with the likes of the Lexus LX 570, which you can’t find in a Lexus Malaysia showroom. Priced at RM799k OTR before insurance, it’s competitors price-wise then would be the Range Rover and the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, but it isn’t exactly the same kind of vehicle as the latter two, and the QX80 is cheaper as well. I’ve already seen this one parked at a certain office building where a G 63 AMG would usually be parked (probably one of the owner’s many cars) so you get the idea of the typical buyer profile. As you can see even from the photos it has immense road presence, but being even bigger than the LX (which you can usually see via grey imports), you really have to see how gigantic it is in real life to get a true picture of how big this behemoth... That’s longer and taller than the Range Rover, GL-Class and LX, with only the Range Rover managing to edge the QX80 out a bit in terms of width. Most of the people who had a look at it described it as looking like a big white whale. Source: paultan.org
