2018 Nissan Armada

As the flagship of Nissan's expanding lineup of SUVs and crossovers, the full-size family-adventure Armada features 8-passenger seating, a 5.6-liter Endurance V-8 with 390 horsepower and standard towing capacity of 8,500 pounds for both 4WD and 2WD models (when properly equipped).

The V-8 features a number of advanced technologies. The Direct Injection Gas system provides better wide-open throttle performance and improved fuel economy and emissions performance (versus a non-direct-injection system) by reducing engine knock, improving combustion stability and offering precise injection control.

The durable independent double-wishbone front and rear suspension provides smooth ride comfort and responsive handling for both on-road and off-road driving.

Armada's exterior features an aggressive stance with bold V-motion front grille and standard LED low-beam headlights and signature LED Daytime Running Lights, maintaining the previous generation's rugged, athletic image but with added contemporary style.

Inside, Armada combines style, roominess and premium interior comfort -- including special emphasis on quietness and quick interior cooling and heating. "Library level" interior noise levels (at idle) are achieved through the use of acoustic glass on the windshield and the front side windows, as well as through expanded use (versus the previous generation) of sound absorption materials.

For the 2018 model year, Armada adds standard NissanConnect Services powered by SiriusXM, an 8-inch multi-touch control display, and HD Radio, SiriusXM Travel Link. And, for the first time on any Nissan vehicle, Armada Platinum models include standard Intelligent Rear View Mirror, which uses a high-resolution camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle to project a clear image onto an LCD monitor built into the standard rearview mirror.
