The Infiniti QX80 is a Nissan Patrol in a dinner jacket — the same V8 and chassis, a far richer cabin, and a used price that has fallen further. We have 6 listed in the UAE.
How much does a used Infiniti QX80 cost in the UAE?
A 2014 Infiniti QX80 has closed with us at around AED 32,000, which is where the oldest cars now sit. Listings run from AED 28,000 for a late-2010s car up to AED 165,000 for an early-2020s one.
Which used Infiniti QX80 year should you buy?
2018 to 2021. The QX56 became the QX80 in 2014, and the significant change came with the 2018 facelift, which brought the reworked front end, better cabin trim and updated infotainment. Everything before that looks its age inside. The V8 and the underpinnings are shared with the Patrol of the period, which is why parts and workshops are easy to find here.
Is a used Infiniti QX80 reliable in the UAE?
Mechanically it is tougher than its size suggests: a fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering shows on 10% of the QX80s we inspect in the UAE, against the 20% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage here. The cabin is the weak point, with interior staining on 46% against 33% expected for the same class — leather, cream trim and school runs do not mix, and a full detail costs a fraction of what the seller will knock off for it.
Infiniti QX80 or Nissan Patrol?
The Nissan Patrol is the same car underneath at similar money, and marginally cleaner mechanically at 11% against the 19% expected for its class — it is also easier to service anywhere in the country. The Toyota Land Cruiser costs more and is the one to buy for serious desert use. The Audi Q7 undercuts the QX80 but is far weaker mechanically, at 35% against 24% expected for the same class.
What should you check on a used Infiniti QX80?
- Interior condition, especially light leather and the third row.
- Air suspension ride height at rest, if fitted.
- Cooling and AC at idle, front and rear.
- Brakes and tyres on a car this heavy.
Every QX80 we list comes with a CarSwitch inspection report. Read the interior section, then use it.
