What’s new for the 2024 Nissan Armada?
Nissan scraps the base S trim to make the SV the new point of entry, otherwise, it carries over unchanged, with SV, SL, and Platinum grades.
The Armada and the related Infiniti QX80 are more alike than different in appearance, though the Armada distinguishes itself with Nissan’s chunky chrome grille and C-shaped front lighting. The bulky curves along the sides are remnants of a design dating back about a decade, but the rear gets sharp-looking taillights and slim brightwork for a slightly more modern look.
The family resemblance continues inside, though the Armada swaps in some cheaper materials, such as fake wood trim surrounding the dash-mounted display and control layout.
A 7-speed automatic transmission routes the 5.6-liter V-8 engine’s 400 hp to the rear or all four wheels. A fully independent suspension system offers a good ride and decent off-road capability. Steering feedback is heavy and satisfying, and acceleration is decent, but otherwise, the Armada lumbers through its moves, chugging expensive fuel. With four-wheel drive, expect 15 mpg.
Passenger space is great, especially in the first two rows. The Armada can be configured for up to eight passengers, though the third row is best left for kids or teens.
The Armada hasn’t been crash tested, though all trims get a good array of crash-avoidance tech.
How much does the 2024 Nissan Armada cost?
Prices are notably higher for 2024, considering both the base S model was dropped from the lineup and the already-hefty destination fee increased by $200, to $1,895. The Armada SV with rear-wheel drive starts at $57,345, and features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and synthetic leather upholstery. The SL costs $61,165, and the Platinum crests at $69,415. Four-wheel drive is available across the lineup for $3,000.
