The Infiniti QX80 (formerly the QX56) is a quite an old fashioned vehicle which has been restyled and infused with new tech. You don’t interact with it in any groundbreaking way, but it is all there and simple to operate.

Don’t let the mid-1990s-looking monochrome digital display from in between the dials fool you, the QX80 can be had with all of the latest active and passive driver assists. Connectivity isn’t a problem either nor is the lack media streaming sources.

CNET’s Brian Cooley says you shouldn’t opt for the rear DVD screen package, and just concentrate on getting all of the safety stuff for your money.

The driving experience is on the cushy side, but it’s not a problem as this is not the kind of vehicle you’d want to hustle through the bends too much – sounds like it’s great for sedate cruising.
