Why the INFINITI QX80 2016 Stumbles at higher mileage – car inspection Dubai

The capable V8 pumps out ample power, giving the QX80 strong off‑road pull and a smooth highway cruise, yet it sips roughly efficient fuel economy in Dubai traffic. Around 38,000–higher mileage the timing chain tensioner often loosens, to a noise that escalates into costly engine repairs. Owners frequently report a loss of torque on sand dunes, and dealers tend to downplay the timing‑chain issue during test drives.

If you need a vehicle that handles both city rush hour and weekend dunes, the QX80 offers space and power, yet the hidden wear points can erode your quickly.
