When will we see a redesigned next generation QX80?

Well, there is a post about the new Nissan Patrol. It isn't sold in North America but it is basically the same as the QX80. Making a new Patrol doesn't mean there will be a new QX80, but it also could. All this to say that if they are making a new QX80, it is likely already quite far through development since it will be pretty similar to the Patrol.
Found an article about the Nissan Patrol. The 2014 Patrol SUV just debuted at the 2013 Dubai Motor Show. It is described as a vehicle "designed and tailored to meet the demanding expectations of the Middle East's car buying public."
The updated Patrol has new LED headlamps and taillights, redesigned alloy wheels and tan leather and wood-trimmed steering wheel options. It will be offered with two 5.6-liter V8 engines that deliver 320 HP and 400 HP respectively.
You can tell by looking at it that it is basically the same as the QX80.

there you go, so now we have no worries
Not bad! Got to love seeing The QX80 being put to work on off-road terrain like that.there you go, so now we have no worries
Yeah thats what I realized, definitely unappealing when compared to the QX80. I find the QX80 to be one of the best looking SUV's in it's segment, the Patrol is just ugly.
They were built on the same platform back then.
The Armada continues to be based on the Titan and other trucks and SUVs.
The QX80 of today is built off the Petrol.
Why do they do this? No clue.
Could just be logistics as the Armada is made in the USA where as the Patrol/QX56 and all the international versions are made overseas.

Makes sense. Easier and cheaper to spread these vehicles around.
hopefully, QX80 production stays in Japan and doesn't get moved out somewhere else.
Exactly.
People in Japan just have more pride over what they do, at times, no matter what it is. People in America, most of them, have horrible attitudes and work ethic, and in a manufacturing plant for say.... a vehicle like the QX80, it would probably flow into that.
Have you seen the Japanese Infiniti's in person?
