A full review of 2025 Infiniti models results in a single addition. The 2025 GX80 now features a new flush door handle.
Much like others who have opted to add the same feature, the handles are intended to extend when the key fob approaches the vehicle. If the battery in the fob is weak or dead, this will not occur.
Pulling the handle out as far as it will go exposes the key hole beneath the back of the handle (right, lower). You can now use the mechanical key to unlock the car.
Smart Keys or Intelligent Keys, or Access Keys – or whatever the manufacturer of your chooses to call them – that let you into your car and start it with just a touch use up their internal batteries at alarming rates, catching busy drivers unawares – even though the car had tried to warn you.
Our goal is to help you feel safe – and keep you moving or get you moving if at all possible – rather than leave you fretting whenever your key fob stops working. The instructions for getting into and starting most keyless start cars can be found on our pages – without roadside assistance.
