Generation history
The Infiniti QX80 has been through 3 generations, starting in 2004, 2011 and 2024. The gaps were 7, 13 years, an average of 10.0. Some of those waits were long. The current generation began in 2024. On that cadence the next full redesign points to 2033 through 2035, centered on 2034. This is a projection. It comes from the model's own past redesign years, not from the manufacturer. A mid-cycle refresh usually lands in between. Public records describe the current generation this way: The Z63 series QX80 was previewed as the QX Monograph Concept on 17 August 2023. Specifications, trims and the NHTSA safety record are on the Infiniti QX80 model page.

In more detail
The first-generation QX56 (model code JA60) is based on the first-generation Armada, while also sharing the F-Alpha platform with the first-generation Titan. It is the first Infiniti built in the United States. The QX56 was only marketed in the United States, Canada, GCC countries and Russia. Development on the JA60 QX56 began in early 2000 alongside the WA60 Armada.
On 31 March 2010, Infiniti debuted the 2011 QX56 at the New York International Auto Show. No longer sharing a platform with the F-Alpha-based Nissan Armada, the QX56 shares the same body with the Y62 Patrol, which also marked the first time that a Patrol-based vehicle had been sold in North America since 1969. Development of the Z62 QX56 began in 2006 following the concurrent Y62 Patrol program (since 2003), after Nissan management voted to move QX56 production back to Japan and separate from the Nissan Armada, after the JA60 QX56's production run concluded.
The Z63 series QX80 was previewed as the QX Monograph Concept on 17 August 2023. The production model was teased on 27 February 2024, and was revealed on 20 March 2024 for the 2025 model year with four trim levels available at launch: Pure, Luxe, Sensory and Autograph.
