The 2024 Nissan Armada is a Luxurious Family Hauler and More

The Nissan Armada, embodying a mature and proudly old-school ethos, stands out as the manufacturer’s largest SUV. It upholds a body-on-frame construction, providing three rows of seating, a naturally aspirated V-8 engine, and an impressive maximum tow rating of 8500 pounds. Four-wheel drive is an option available across all four trim levels, featuring a standard limited-slip rear axle. While each Armada is generously equipped, the elevated trim levels showcase opulent features like quilted leather heated seats, headrest-mounted rear display screens, and accents of open-pore wood trim. These high-end offerings gracefully approach the realm of the Infiniti QX80, sharing a platform and powertrain while maintaining their distinct identities.

What to Expect in 2024

With the exclusion of the now-discontinued base S trim, the 2024 Armada retains its similarity to the 2023 lineup. The Armada underwent its last major overhaul in 2021.

Engine & Performance

The Armada features a powerful 5.6-liter V-8 engine, delivering an impressive 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. While premium fuel is recommended, the use of regular fuel remains acceptable and still offers satisfying performance, albeit with a slight decrease. Guided by a seven-speed automatic transmission, the Armada demonstrates prowess in handling its considerable weight, surpassing 7300 pounds. The independent rear suspension diligently manages uneven surfaces, ensuring commendable body control. Notably, interior noise levels are impressively muted, contributing to a tho22oughly enjoyable experience during extended highway journeys.

Towing

The 2024 Nissan Armada showcases an impressive towing capacity of up to 8500 pounds, available in both its two- and four-wheel-drive configurations. This substantial towing capability outpaces competitors such as the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe. Although some rivals like the current Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia, and Jeep Wagoneer may boast higher towing capacities, the Armada’s robust 8500-pound rating is more than adequate for the majority of users.

Interior Comforts & More

The Armada’s expansive interior is a notable highlight. This three-row SUV provides versatility as either an eight- or seven-passenger vehicle, featuring the option of second-row captain’s chairs in place of the bench for the seven-passenger configuration. The foldable second-row seats add convenience, effortlessly manipulated with a handle that springs the seat forward. However, manual adjustment is necessary for resetting the seat to its original position. The high-end Platinum trim showcases quilted seat surfaces, ventilated seats, a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, and open-pore wood-like trim, elevating the luxurious ambiance of the SUV.

Infotainment

The prominent 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system atop the dashboard of the 2024 Armada is impossible to overlook. While it has been surpassed in size by other competitors, the infotainment system maintains its brightness, legible icons, and earns praise for incorporating rotary controls for volume and tuning. Standard technology offerings include navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio (subscription required), and both Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay. The 2024 Armada is equipped with USB type A and type C ports at the front and rear, a 120-volt outlet on SL and above trims, and wireless smartphone charging. The mid-level SL trim enhances the audio experience with a 13-speaker Bose sound system, while the top-tier Platinum trim boasts a rear-seat entertainment system with dual 8.0-inch screens.
