CARS.COM — Nissan’s range-topping Armada full-size SUV is getting a redo for the 2017 model year, with an all-new model that shares its bones with the Infiniti QX80. The eight-seat Armada starts at $45,395 for the base SV trim with two-wheel drive (all prices include a destination charge). That brings the Armada’s pricing in line with its competitors, the Chevrolet Tahoe, which starts at $48,195, and Ford Expedition, priced at $47,420.
That’s a $5,890 price increase over the 2015 Armada, which starts at $39,505. The 2017 Armada SV is well-equipped with more standard equipment — including navigation, heated front seats and a 13-speaker Bose audio system — than the previous-generation.
Add a leather interior and some additional standard equipment, and you’ll arrive at the midlevel SL model for $50,145. Step up to the top-line Platinum trim level with all the bells and whistles for $58,085. All prices are for two-wheel-drive vehicles — four-wheel drive adds $2,900 to all trim levels.
New 2017 Armadas are on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide right now.
