In this thrilling comparison by The Fast Lane Car, we witness the clash of titans between the old QX80 and its 2024 counterpart, alongside the all-new QX80. The old model, affectionately dubbed the "happy hippo" for its rolly-polly design, faces off against the sleek and sexy new iteration that promises more room and a bold new look. But the real battleground lies under the hood: a battle of the powertrains. The old guard boasts a trusty V8 engine, reminiscent of the Titan, while the fresh-faced newcomer surprises with a twin-turbo V6 delivering more power, torque, and improved fuel efficiency. It's a clash of tradition versus innovation, with the new model clearly taking the lead in the performance department.

Stepping inside, the differences are stark. The old QX80 exudes a sense of classic luxury with its plush leather and traditional controls, while the new model flaunts a tech-laden interior featuring not one, not two, but three screens. From digital rearview mirrors to a whopping 24 speakers pumping out 12200 watts, the new QX80 is a sensory overload. And let's not forget the added comfort and convenience, with cooled seats, a built-in refrigerator, and advanced driver-assist features like ProPILOT 2.1. It's a leap into the future of automotive luxury, leaving the old model feeling like a relic of the past.

But the real test comes in the backseat, where the battle for comfort and space rages on. The new QX80 pulls out all the stops, offering screens, USB ports, seat adjustments, and heated/ventilated seats even in the second row. The third row, usually a forgotten realm of discomfort in many SUVs, surprises with heated seats and automatic reclining, catering to a level of luxury usually reserved for the front seats. It's a clear win for the new QX80 in the battle of the backseats, showcasing a level of opulence and comfort that sets it apart from its predecessors and competitors alike.
