The Nissan Armada debuted for the 2017 model year with fresh looks, somewhat greater power from its base V8 engine, and more standard technology. 

The tweaks may not seem significant, but they have gone a long way toward making the Armada feel like a better SUV than before.

 Due to its lack of luggage room, small back seats, sluggish handling, and average ride quality, the Armada falls behind best competing large SUVs on the list.

Safety & Reliability

The IIHS and the NHTSA have not given the Armada a full crash test. The Armada achieved a three-star rating in the NHTSA’s rollover test. Every Armada comes equipped with Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 suite, which includes a long number of safety features that most large SUVs lack.

Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and driver fatigue monitoring are just a few of the safety systems included as standard. 

Surround-view camera and traffic sign recognition are available as optional upgrades. The Armada received a slightly higher-than-average reliability rating from J.D. Power.
