The Infiniti QX80 is built on the chassis of the Nissan Patrol, but it has been extended, measuring 125 mm longer and 35 mm taller. The QX80 features a robust and muscular design with a majestic stance, accented by subtle curves that break the monotony of its size, giving it a luxurious appearance. You will notice some similarities between the QX80 and the Patrol, as the Infiniti is based closely on its sibling. The design is elegant with chrome touches on the front and air intakes, maintaining a strong shape that reflects its high capabilities.

Both vehicles are outfitted with luxurious materials that reflect their premium exterior designs. When you sit inside the Infiniti, you will notice the abundance of premium leather and wooden trims, making it a model of luxury in its class, complemented by elegant chrome accents on the dashboard. The spacious interior provides ample legroom and headroom, with a massive storage capacity of up to 2,693 liters when the second and third-row seats are folded down. Similarly, the Patrol is also equipped with premium leather and wooden touches, exuding luxury at first glance. Its interior design fully embodies the essence of generous craftsmanship and a unique sense of elegance.
Performance
The Patrol is equipped with two engine options: a 6-cylinder and an 8-cylinder. The 5.6-liter V8 engine produces 400 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. The QX80, its close relative, is also equipped with the same 5.6-liter V8 engine, delivering identical performance figures of 400 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, along with a 7-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

The price for the Nissan Patrol ranges from AED 181,000 for the 6-cylinder XE version to AED 391,000 for the high-performance Nismo variant, while the Infiniti QX80 is priced between AED 309,000 and AED 311,000. Both vehicles share many features such as stunning design, luxurious interiors, and powerful performance. However, if you are looking for a vehicle with high capability on both paved and off-road terrains, the Patrol is your best choice. If you prefer a vehicle that offers supreme luxury for city driving with good off-road capabilities, then the QX80 would be ideal. Personally, if I had to choose between the two, I would opt for the Patrol for its high performance and exceptional off-road features, especially the Desert and Nismo variants.
