Some Facts on the New Nissan Armada - Dave

Here is the 2017 Armada and rumours of it sharing its body-on-frame platform with the global Nissan Patrol are entirely true. The updated, fully boxed ladder frame now boasts nearly four-inch-wide side rails, versus 2.4 inches on the current Armada. Nissan claims the change improves torsional stiffness by 20 percent and results in improved handling and better ride comfort. The latest Armada also grows 1.2 inches in length, but the wheelbase is 2.1 inches shorter. The width increases just 0.6 inches and the SUV sits 2.2 inches lower.
The redesigned exterior has a strong resemblance to the Patrol and the Infiniti QX80, which shares the same platform. Compared to the current Armada, the new styling features a more chiseled body that makes the eight-passenger SUV look tougher. It also comes with standard LEDs for the low beams and running lights.
The 2017 Armada packs a 5.6-liter V8 with 390 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, and a seven-speed automatic transmission replaces the current five-speed. The engine has the same displacement as before, but upgrades like direct injection and new pistons boost the output from the present Armada's 317 hp and 385 lb-ft.

The Nissan Armada Snow Patrol, which makes its world debut at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show, takes Nissan's flagship SUV to new heights – literally. With its three-inch suspension lift, extreme off-road tires, massive front bumper, light bar and roof rack, the one-off Snow Patrol project takes Armada out of the carpool line and onto snow covered mountains – returning Armada to its roots as an adventure-ready off-roader.
Armada has been on a winning streak since the second-generation design was introduced for the 2017 year – with sales last year increasing 154 percent over 2016, making it the fastest growing SUV in its class. Buyers have been attracted to Armada's unmatched combination of best-in-class standard 390 horsepower, full-feature 8-passenger interior and class-exclusive Intelligent Rear View Mirror - Dave
