The 2012 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV that's been battle-tested and ready to take on all the rigors of the road. Equipped with a 5.6 liter V8 that puts out a whopping 317 horsepower, the Armada is truly at the top of its class. All of its mechanical parts have been upgraded to offer tough as nails reliability, from its heavy-duty battery and radiator to its independent double-wishbone front and rear suspension. Boasting IBAS II body-on-frame construction, the Armada also comes with a body undercoating to help minimize damage from debris and dirt from the road.
For maximum visibility at all times, the Armada uses jewel-type reflector halogen headlights. It also utilizes a 1-piece rear liftgate with an opening window and is updated with body-color and chrome bumpers.
Comfortably seating eight, the Armada's roomy interior is packed with modern conveniences. It has an air conditioning system with dual-zone climate controls, so each of the vehicle's occupants can set the ideal temperature. You'll find four 12-volt power outlets throughout, so you can travel with all your favorite electronic devices. An 8-way adjustable power driver seat makes it easy for you to find that perfect driving position. The Armada also simplifies your driving experience with remote keyless entry, power windows and locks, and power-adjustable pedals.
