The Nissan Armada is something strange to look at its unique styling capturing the heart of SUV buyers.
Introduced in the 1980s the Pathfinder was first introduced as a two-door and looked like it was ready to jump off road and hit the trails. The later four-door version added more room in the rear. Each time the Pathfinder was re-designed improvements were made and the flexible SUV soon stretched into the luxury segment.
The mid-size SUV Pathfinder soon found itself surrounded by full-size sport pick-ups and trucks.
The big and powerful Pathfinder Armada SUV solved this by taking the Pathfinder badge into the full-size SUV segment. Compared to competitors The Armada is bigger in every aspect, has more horsepower, more ground clearance and more torque.
The standard Armada comes with four-wheel ABS, stability control, rear parking sensors and side curtain airbags that protect all three rows of passengers. A vehicle rollover sensor will even deploy the side curtain airbags when it senses an imminent rollover accident.
The 305-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 sits atop a steel box frame, which delivers sheer brute force and is available on both two- and four-wheel drive formats. Eight passengers sit easily in the Armada with split-fold-flat second- and third-row seating. Storage is not a problem with bins in the front and overhead, while loads can easily fit ion the rear.
Luxury features include DVD entertainment system, leather seating, one-touch up-and-down front windows and fold-flat second- and third-row seats – with limitless legroom. The powerful V8 provides adequate acceleration the sheer of the beast affects the ability to corner and come to a sharp stop. The cabin is quiet, while the ride is smooth and comfortable.
