2017 Nissan Armada

Three trims give you the option for the exact Armada that you want:

• The SV has a Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of $44,400 and higher. It has 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. It also has an included navigation system by Nissan. The rear parking sensors have a sonar-like technology to help you navigate into parking spaces. An audio system by Bose is integrated into this trim for a premium experience.
• The SL has a MSRP starting at $49,150. It receives an upgrade to 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The seats in the front are heated as well as leather-wrapped. Tech upgrades include an Around View Monitor for parking and a remote to start the engine.
• The Platinum trim MSRP begins at $57,090. The wheels on this trim are also 20-inches, but they have a tinted machined finish. The cabin receives the biggest upgrades in this trim because it has a Tri-Zone Entertainment System featuring a 7-inch screen, dual-zone climate control, and a power moonroof.

The Armada’s 5.6L V8 engine has a hearty 390 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque to give you an extraordinary ride. You can select the four-wheel drive configuration for your model, which perfectly accompanies the 7-speed automatic transmission that runs tow and haul mode. In fact, the Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds. The fuel system is equipped with direct injection technology. This powertrain achieves an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 14 mpg on the highway when it has a 4X2 configuration. The 4X4 shows an EPA-estimated 18 mpg in the city and 13 mpg on the highway.

Are you searching for top-of-the-line comfort in a full size SUV design? The Armada is the pick for you. It has plenty of luxuries that are offered as standard features. For instance, it comes with heated seats for the front row. The highest trim comes with heated and cooled front seats, as well as heated back seats for your passengers. The interior is designed to seat eight passengers, but there is an option for the highest trim to seat seven with captain row seating in the second row. The SV and SL have 171.1 cubic feet of total space, while the Platinum has 169.5 cubic feet of total space.

A leather shift knob and cloth seating comes standard for a comfortable driving experience. Those who choose the SL and the Platinum can enjoy leather seats and doors with a double stitching. Each model is also decked with wood trim for extra elegance and class.

On the outside of the Armada, there are different wheel choices: 18-inch wheels to 20-inch wheels. LED headlights are standard on each model, plus the headlights turn on and off automatically as needed.

For those with a family, consider choosing a Mobile Entertainment system for the backseat passengers. It comes with screens that can display different gaming systems and movie systems. The best part is that the Mobile Entertainment system is separate from the front of the cabin, so parents can enjoy their music while kids enjoy a movie. In fact, you can plug in your own music via USB on each model for even more options. An 13-speaker Bose Audio system includes a subwoofer, so you’ll enjoy premium sound on the road.

The optional navigation system is a major asset when exploring new roads, and we love the fact that it has voice recognition. You can command it to go where you want to go, and it will read you the appropriate directions—it will even show you live traffic and bring you weather updates.

For safety, the around view monitor gives a complete view around the Armada—you can even see specific views to localize attention. Six airbags are placed all around the vehicle to ensure protection in case of an accident. With optional Distance Control Assist, the Armada will maintain a safe distance between other cars on the road. If you get too close to a vehicle but cannot brake in time, then it can apply the brakes for you. Other safety features that come standard are traction and stability control and a tire pressure monitor to ensure tire safety.
