There’s nothing more special than having the chance to be one of the first people to be a part of a special announcement or release. Patriot INFINITI of Merrillville provided this opportunity with an early pre-production of the 2025 QX80 vehicle on Tuesday, May 21.
Katrina Martin, sales consultant for Patriot INFINITI of Merrillville, shares what this opportunity will provide for residents in the area.
“This is an opportunity to get a sneak peek at what is coming with INFINITI,” Martin said. “We are thrilled to share some exciting news about the early pre-production 2025 QX80 and we are inviting everyone to come see it.”
It wasn’t long ago that this vehicle was first displayed to the public. Michael Caccioppo, general manager of Patriot INFINITI of Merrillville, discusses the rarity of this model and how it’s going to become a hot commodity for many years to come.
“The vehicle was unveiled in New York last month and it was such a big success,” Caccioppo said. “This truck is going to compete with the Cadillac Range Rover and luxury SUVs, which is great for QX.”
There’s a lot of excitement about how this vehicle separates itself from previous models.
“It’s a completely different look than the old one,” Caccioppo said. “The whole model is redone but the technology and the styling of the car are different which is the most exciting part. It’s been cool to see how many people have been inquiring about it that have never wanted an INFINITI QX before and that’s a really good sign for us.”
Features such as biometric cooling, individual audio, dash design, monolith screens, passenger connectivity, invisible hood view, and front wide view will leave people with a lot to be excited about leading up to the official launch.
Martin details some of the special amenities this car has to offer.
“There’s a lot of unique fixtures,” Martin said. “The grille is new. The body is new. There’s a cooler in the center unit for drinks and the lights on the back of the vehicle are all new as well.”
Caccioppo has circled this day on his calendar for a while now. On top of the Patriot INFINITI team being able to appreciate what makes the QX80 vehicle one of a kind, he also gets excitement from seeing people in the Merrillville community look at how advanced this vehicle is compared to many others.
“It’s truly a great opportunity for people in the area to see this truck,” Caccioppo said. “Most people won’t understand how cool this truck is and the various features it provides until they see it up close. I think it says something that INFINITI is a firm believer that this is the greatest vehicle they’ve ever produced. We’re very ecstatic about it and seeing the amazement in people’s eyes that come to see it is pretty cool.”
The QX80 coming to Patriot INFINITI of Merrillville has been nothing short of remarkable. Caccioppo is looking forward to how this vehicle makes for a seamless experience.
“This is really a big deal for INFINITI,” Caccioppo said. “It's not going to be a highly produced vehicle. We’ve received several calls already from people out-of-state regarding the availability of it so it’s definitely a highly valued vehicle. It’s just a great opportunity for people in the Merrillville area and we’re thrilled about this opportunity.”
According to Caccioppo, there’s a chance that people can secure their QX80 sometime in June or July at the earliest. However, those who want to put a deposit down don’t have to wait.
People with an interest in checking out the car who were unable to attend on arrival day will still have another opportunity to check it out. The vehicle will be displayed on Wednesday, May 22, and part of the day on Thursday, May 23.
