I know you're not Identifying-cars-in-posts, but could you tell me about this car? Best pic I could get. It's got such a creature face, I really like it
Tumblr media
First off, PLEASE feel free to treat me as a makeshift @identifying-cars-in-posts. I'm pretty sure I said as much at some point, but I should update my pinned to reflect that. Second off, I genuinely did the held in snore-laugh WHAT IS THAT THING
And I did indeed not know, due to the gaps in my knowledge of SUVs that size caused mainly by them barely ever coming to places like Europe, whose human-sized environments are not comfortably navigated by these absolute fucking monsters - hell, I live near a two way road that gets almost 25cm narrower than this thing. Oh, for yanks, that's just over the length of my- you know what actually let's not give that information to the public I can think of something else, uhhhhh that's about a head's width right? Lemme look it up on Wikipedia. Nope, apparently it's about from your chin to your hair. Did you know Wikipedia has a subsection on median human head measurements on the not at all creepily named article "Human head"? There's a table from lowest 99- wait, what were we talking about? Oh right, that thing. How did I get sidetracked like that? I swear that never happens.
I know it's a recent SUV by Nissan's luxury brand Infiniti because it looks recent and has an Infiniti badge that's visible from space, so I just did what I usually do, type what I know into Google Images (yes, DuckDuckGo users, you get to feel superior to me) and glance around at the results to see if I stumble into it. "Infiniti SUV", however, net me zilch. So I figured, since the damn thing so big and goofy it makes the picture you sent look like an Animorphs cover where a car turns into a semi, it could not possibly be anything but the top-of-the-range QX80, and thus googled that next. However, all the behemoths I saw looked much more acceptable, making me begin fearing I'd have to delve into the absolute mess that is the Infiniti naming scheme.
But then, I had an idea.

First result. B)
So what you saw is the second generation of, as I'd suspected, the Infiniti QX80. But also technically not.
See, the one below is the 2004 Infiniti QX56, based on the Nissan Armada based on the Titan based on me, but we(eee!) are never ever ever wait that's not how the song goes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In 2010, out came its now Nissan Patrol-based second generation, who saw the awkwardness of the first one's roofline realizing at the end of the rear door that it actually can't slope down like that and its front end deciding it may need to be different but who said it must be better and emphatically asked it to hold its gas station sake.
Tumblr media
But, in 2015, they did a restyling, in which they sprinkled some LEDs into the lights and fiddled with the bumpers creating the model you saw on the road and I found on Google - and used the occasion to transition the model to the new naming scheme.
You see, Infiniti had realized nobody could parse or remember their seemingly random letters and engine size names, so they started shifting to calling every car Q (or QX if it's vaguely gesturing towards the concept of off-roader) and use the numbers, like in many other brands, to denote where they sit in the range - thus the range topper got the highest number, going from QX56 (denoting its 5.6L engine) to QX80.
Tumblr media
(good God.)
So technically, you could argue this to be the first generation of Infiniti QX80, since before this specific restyling there was no Infiniti QX80 because it was called QX56. But that logic would dictate someone who transitioned a year ago is a baby, and honestly if one stance on car names bars me from sex with trans people I'll pick the other.
Either way, they ran with that restyling for three years until they were like "Oh when y'all asked for a restyling you meant you wanted us to make it stop looking like a whale telling its daughter she is not going out dressed like that? Oh okay! Coulda said it earlier!" and gave it the second restyling that carried the model up to this year.
Tumblr media
I'm not sure if it actually looks nice full stop or if it's just the whiplash from the Multipla-rivaling previous model, but at least the fender vents now look like they came from Infiniti and not Walmart. Though this generation is now getting sunset altogether, since in the mean time they figured out how to make the damn thing even larger.
Tumblr media
This pedestrian mower's headlights have a 'bamboo forest design motif', which I'm very excited by, knowing many people that named their headlights' lack thereof as the key reason for their waning will to live. It's expected to cost Too Much and have a gas mileage rating of You Spent Six Digits On A Drivable House You Don't Get To Even Ask.

2025 Nissan Armada Full-Size 8-Seat V8 SUV
Tumblr media
The Nissan Armada is the company’s flagship full-size, body-on-frame, three-row SUV. The Japanese company is discontinuing production of the Titan full-size pickup after 2024, but according to a report from the Nissan Model website, the 2025 Nissan Armada suggests that it will feature a new model with Nissan apparently showing off the new Armada to its dealers, and we might see the new vehicle soon.
Nissan senior vice president Ivan Espinosa spoke with CarExpert Australia at the Japan Mobility Show 2023. He pointed out that the new Armada is based on Toyota’s J300 Land Cruiser, which is offered in America as the Lexus LX 600. Espinosa said the new SUV is “much better than Land Cruiser”.
The 2025 Nissan Armada will replace its V8 with a turbo V6.
The new fleet, like the Sequoia, will replace its 5.6-liter V8 with a third-generation engine. According to Automotive News, Nissan will replace the Armada’s 400-horsepower engine with a more powerful and efficient twin-turbocharged V6. The engine will be mated to a new nine-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 fleet will be more modern, stylish and technologically advanced.
A Nissan salesman described the new Armada as “Range Rover-like.” The dealer has a vested interest in creating excitement for the new Fleet. However, even if it doesn’t reach the level of one of America’s best-selling SUVs, we might expect significant aesthetic improvements.
Automotive News reports that the new Armada will be larger and more durable, with redesigned headlights and taillights. According to the source, the Armada will have updated interior finishing and a larger screen. We think the Armada inside also gets a more modern and square look. Espinosa told Car Expert that infotainment will be a “huge change.”

The new generation Nissan Armada will receive a V6 engine with 424 hp. And While Toyota is busy launching sales of the new Land Cruiser Prado 250 in the US, China, and Europe, Nissan is preparing its flagship Armada SUV for the US and Middle East markets. And the company is confident in its new car. [caption id="attachment_76334" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nissan Armada[/caption] Ivan Espinosa, Nissan's senior vice president of global product strategy and planning, told CarExpert that the new Armada will not be worse than the Land Cruiser. And we are not talking about the “small” Prado but about the Land Cruiser 300. “ To be honest, it depends on what you compare it with. In the US we will have a lot of competition, so it all depends on the market. And I'll say the most obvious, although I don't like to say it. The Toyota Land Cruiser [300 Series] is a [competitor], and our car is much better than the Land Cruiser. You ride it and we can discuss,” said Ivan Espinosa. SUVs have many qualities, and they are compared in many ways, but a top Nissan executive believes that the Armada will be better in a global sense than the Land Cruiser 300. Considering when the new generation of Toyota SUV came out, Nissan will have at least three years to surpass the LC300 . The new Nissan Armada will be much better than the Land Cruiser 300. Little is known about the new Armada yet. Only the engine has been confirmed so far: instead of a large, thirsty naturally aspirated petrol V8 with 400 hp. a turbocharged V6 with 424 hp will appear. The Armada will not have the diesel engine that the Land Cruiser 300 has: heavy fuel SUVs are unpopular in the target markets. Ivan Espinosa also announced " big, key changes in technology " - this refers to the infotainment system, driver assistance systems, and various electronic systems. The serial Armada will appear next year – Nissan is now actively engaged in development tests.
