The Nissan Armada is the most luxurious SUV in the Nissan lineup. Moreover, it provides an incredible amount of interior space. This refined full-size SUV can easily take on the competition with its horsepower, luxurious features, and towing capacity along with safety features. Here are just a few ways the Armada leaves the competition behind.
Nissan Armada Horsepower
Driving the 2017 Nissan Armada will give you access to a whopping 390 horsepower thanks to the 5.6-liter V8 engine with direct injection. This gives the Armada the best-in-class horsepower. To put it in perspective, the Toyota Sequoia only has 381 horsepower while the Ford Expedition has just 365. The Chevrolet Tahoe falls far behind with 355 horses.
Armada Transmission
Accessing that best-in-class power is smooth, as well, thanks to the Armada’s 7-speed automatic transmission. It features adaptive shift control as well as downshift rev matching. All the competitors mentioned above only have 6-speed transmissions. Therefore, the Armada gives you better acceleration at lower speeds with a nice, quiet engine at high speeds.
2017 Aramada Towing Capacity
Thanks to its best-in-class power and huge V8 engine, the Armada is also able to offer the best-in-class towing capacity. Both the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition can tow up to 6,600 pounds, and the Toyota Sequoia can tow up to 7,400. The 2017 Armada beats the higher of these numbers by a whopping 1,100 pounds, giving you a towing capacity of 8,500 pounds. With the Armada, there is almost no limit to what you can bring.
Armada Passenger Space
The Nissan Armada also takes the lead with best-in-class headroom and legroom for the second row. You get 39.9 inches of headroom compared to 34.9, 39.8, and 38.7 inches in the Sequoia, Expedition, and Tahoe, respectively. For legroom, the Armada delivers 41 inches while the competitors only have 40.9, 39.1, and 39 inches, respectively.
Nissan Safety Technology
The 2017 Nissan Armada also offers safety features that you simply won’t find on the Tahoe, Expedition, or Sequoia. These include Nissan Intelligent Safety Shield Technologies, like around view monitor with moving object detection, predictive forward collision warning, and blind spot intervention.
