Performance and Towing

There’s no mistaking the feeling you’ll experience when behind the wheel of this SUV. The Armada is equipped with a 390-horsepower V8 engine, producing 394 lb-ft of torque. The direct-injection gas engine provides plenty of power for pass-and-merge driving, but also has an impressive 8,500-pound max towing capacity. Bring along a trailer for any weekend adventure and the Armada will be able to handle the rest.
Beyond the on-road capabilities, this SUV can also handle some off-roading, too. The available Intelligent 4x4 system is advanced, and can adapt to road conditions as they change, monitoring each axle and maintaining control of the vehicle. The Auto mode will provide traction for rocky, snowy, and muddy roads. The 4L mode will provide the torque you need on steep grades, while the 2WD mode is ideal for normal driving on paved roads.
A Spacious Interior
The flexible design makes this the perfect SUV for cargo or passengers. There’s seating for up to eight people, with a 60/40 split-folding backseat providing the flexibility drivers look for. With the seat down, you’ll have cargo capacity of just over 171 cu. ft., enough room for multiple bags from the store, a whole lot of luggage, or even that mulch and small tree for your next gardening project.
Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control is a convenient feature, allowing the driver and front passenger to set the temperature to their liking. Those in the rear seats will have separate controls for maximum comfort.
Nissan Technology Making Life Easier

The suite of available Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ features can help you see more and get a better sense for what’s going on around the car, and even take action to protect you. Flip a switch to turn your rearview mirror into a camera, letting you see what’s going on around the vehicle, day or night.
Intelligent Cruise Control with Intelligent Distance Control watches traffic to maintain an adjustable speed, and sets the distance between you and the car in front of you. Lane Departure Warning, meanwhile, ensures you’re only changing lanes if you intended to. When the lane markings on the road are clear, this feature will detect if you’re drifting from the lane you’re in and can guide you back to it.
