It's funny you mentioned the retractable running boards. I've had them on vehicles since 2018 with zero issues and we travel all over the country.Hey all. New member here. I have a 2025 on order due in December.
A quick comment on the running boards. I think the competition have figured these out now, but I have friends with NAvigator and Escalades where they are stuck in the dropped position. Admittedly I'm in a snowy state with lots of salt in the winter. So the static running boards are a plus in my case (and the sensory and autograph can be set to automatically lower when in park).
What I cannot find any info on is the front license plate location. There appears to be a spot for the plate above where this image shows the plate on the front. I have seen this same thing and person and it annoys me more than it should. I'll probably ask the dealer to leave the front plate off to see if I can figure a way to mount it where it looks like it should go. Am I overthinking this?
The new infiniti drops 2" which is negligible compared to an actual retractable running board not to mention the body protection the running board provides when it is retracted against the vehicle.
I'm on record now saying the air ride height adjustment will be an absolute issue before retractable running boards will be in any climate.
That said the Autograph is a super sexy build in 2025.
Updating this thread. We found 3 different Autograph models to test drive over the last few weeks. Unfortunately I could not get any of the front seats adjusted to where it was comfortable for me. All 3 dealers refused to come off MSRP also even after advertising as much as 10k off via email. So we walked.
It's a gorgeous suv but it is not remotely close to 40k better than the previous model. Sadly Infiniti has priced themselves into a market they cannot compete in.
We traded our 21 Sensory model in for a 2024 Bronco Raptor and could not be more pleased. Better ride. More fun. More comfort. All around a better vehicle for 2/3 of the price. So after 12 years of loyal ownership I'm out.
