The 2015 Nissan Armada is one of the last true full-size SUVs on the market. The Armada sits on a truck-based chassis and features a roomy interior. This is a great option for buyers looking for a masculine and capable vehicle.




Full Review

The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with a truck-based chassis and one of oldest such vehicle left on the market. There is some steady competition from the General Motors trucks that have all been redesigned, but the Armada is still one of the most tow-capable vehicles around. The Armada was first introduced in 2004 and shares a platform with the Nissan Titan pickup truck and a few other models in the lineup. For 2015, the changes to the Armada are minimal aside from a few notable stylistic alterations made to the interior and exterior. The Armada is probably due for a complete upgrade as many features are starting to look dated, but generally speaking, this vehicle has stood up well against the test of time. Buyers looking for a lot of cargo space and towing capacity should take a look at the Nissan Armada.

The Nissan Armada is big bold and unique. The shape is defined by its angular look and anything that deviates from that is a stand-out feature. The 90-degree angles are prominent, which make the large fender flares look even more exaggerated. The Armada sports Nissan’s signature three-opening chrome grille, bookended by large headlights, which take up the majority of the front end. There is nothing subtle about the exterior look of this vehicle, but that’s okay with us as it only underscores the ruggedness and masculinity expressed here. The 2015 Armada gets standard 20-inch alloy wheels and three new exterior colour options: arctic metallic blue, magnetic black and pearl white.

The interior of the Nissan Armada takes a step back from the aggressive nature of the exterior. The cabin is much softer-looking with more subtly-contoured edges. It’s one of the oldest cabins in the segment and therefore feels a bit dated, but it has held up rather well thanks to some of the implemented tweaks. The Armada looks attractive and well-put-together, with the controls and gauges logically arranged. That said, they are a bit on the smaller side, appealing more to the suburban types rather than the work-gloved folks. The most striking part of the interior is the space. The Armada can be configured for seven or eight passengers. The comfort and space for front- and second-row passengers is pretty good thanks to the generous headroom and legroom. The third-row accommodations are a bit tight, but still suitable for adults going on short journeys. The cargo space is a healthy 97 cubic feet behind the rear seats, which is a bit short of competitors.

The Nissan Armada is powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine that produces 317 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and a choice of rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.

As you can imagine, the fuel economy is rather disappointing, but that’s the reality of modern SUVs. The two-wheel-drive model carries a combined rating of 15.7 litres per 100 kilometres, while the four-wheel-drive version is at 16.8 litres per 100 kilometres. On the bright side, the Armada sports the impressive towing capacity of 9,100 pounds – when equipped with all the features.

Overall, the 2015 Nissan Armada is one of a kind, which, in a way, is also why it’s starting to show its age. There are definitely highlights to this SUV, like its large cargo area and superb towing capacity, but that might not be enough to make up for the frequent stops for fuel you’ll have to make.

Power and Performance:

It's powered by a 5.6-liter V-8 that produces 317 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque. When the engine revs, you'd almost confuse it for a NASCAR V-8–it's that muscular sounding. The engine has been in the Armada for ten years now, and while its competitors have improved over their V-8s and even V-6s in that time, this mill has rested on its laurels. For example, the Ford EcoBoost V-6 produces 360 hp, and that comes from a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine.

Interiors and Special Features:

Inside the look isn't nearly as aggressive-looking—it's actually now one of the more softly-contoured designs in this competitive set—and while it's one of the more dated designs among full-size trucks it still feels well-laid out and straightforward. Smaller controls and more delicate buttons in general, though, project that it takes aim at suburban types more than the work-gloved crowd.

Safety features:

The Armada can't use crash-test scores as a selling point, and in safety technology, it's now running behind some of its full-size competition. Dual front, side, and curtain airbags, are standard, and the curtain bags protect all three rows of occupants. The Armada also has standard electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes, all mandatory features.
