Nissan Armada

(9 available)Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2013, the Nissan Armada now offers Bluetooth, a USB port, sliding sun visors with courtesy light and a 4-way power passenger seat on the entry level SV trim. A new Platinum Reserve package adds 20-inch dark chrome rims, dark chrome trim and 2-tone leather seating. The SV and SL models can now be equipped with dual 7-inch rear seat monitors, which are standard on the Platinum model.
The 2012 Nissan Armada SUV receives some minor upgrades including a power rear liftgate and heated front seats now standard on the SL trim. The Platinum trim receives standard heated second-row seats and a padded center armrest with the Captain's-chairs option.
For 2011, two of the three Armada trims are renamed. The Armada SV replaces the previous SE, and the Armada SL replaces the Titanium trim.
Nissan has revised the Armada lineup for 2010 to consist of three models: SE, Titanium Edition and Platinum Edition. All models receive new body-colored side cladding with chrome strip, while the SE 4X2 trims gain standard front seat side-impact airbags.
Last year's LE Preferred Package, which features heated seats, power rear quarter windows, power folding mirrors and Bluetooth, is now standard on the LE. Also standard on the LE is the tow package, which includes a seven-pin wiring harness, 3.357:1 axle ratio, larger battery and auto-leveling rear suspension.
Nissan's mammoth Armada SUV may not have the name recognition shared by the long-running Chevrolet Suburban or Ford Expedition, but it certainly has the ability to steal market share from the domestic duo. The Armada shares its rugged boxed-frame chassis with Nissan's other big truck, the Titan. Equipped with a 317-horsepower V8 engine, the Armada can haul a family of eight and pull a 9,100-pound trailer without breaking a sweat. Where the Armada differs most from its domestic rivals is its styling. Some instantly fall in love with it, while some have said it reminds them of an over-inflated Rambler station wagon. Whatever you think of its look, there is no denying the Armada's track record of proven reliability and trouble-free service.

"I have a 2008 Armada. This has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. Fantastic performance, creative options,it's a vehicle that's fun to drive. I look forward to driving it every day, and I've had it now for almost two years. It's very safe too. I was hit from behind by a HUGE water tanker while I stopped a red light. The back half of the suv was seriously damaged, and the car in front of me was hit by my suv as the impact into my suv was so hard. The driver of the car in front of me was hospitalized and I basically walked away with minor aches and pains. I spent 30 minutes in the emergency room and was then released. And Oh Yeah, the car in front of was an on duty police car, oops. The accident was so severe that two news helicopters arrived to film the scene and it made the Local San Diego evening news. I WAS LUCKY. But it was the Armada that saved my life! I'm an Arnada owner for life."

"We have had our Armada for 3 years and love it! My wife loves it too...she said it drives, and parks great for a "Big Truck" Just a tip to all who have this vehicle, or are considering it....We placed an Airaid Cold Air Intake on it and now get around 16 MPG in city driving and 20 MPG on Highway, (and we get 12 MPG towing a 23ft boat, first SUV ever that did this for us!)"

Best SUV for the money at the time

"Performance is unrivavled, but comes at a cost (fuel). Has enough towing capacity for 98% of consumers. Acceleration is amazing. I've surprised many cars off the line. Comfort is one of the only drawbacks. Japanese cars notoriously have hard seats and this one is no different. But driving position is great which helps. Second row seating has more legroom than any other in it's class by a large margin. Third row folds flat unlike GM's. It also is pretty comfortable even for larger people on long trips. Nissan service has often been overlooked but I have always had really good service. In 2005, there wasn't a better choice for the money than the Armada. We got the LE with all the gizmos and an extended warranty for less than a lesser equipped Chevy Tahoe. After GM's redesign of the Tahoe, the gap is narrowed. It's a toss-up for me. Would you rather have a fold flat 3rd row (Nissan) or more comfortable seats (Chevy)?"
