The 2019 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV that can seat up to eight people in three rows. It comes standard with a 390-horsepower, 5.6-liter V-8 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. It’s available with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and competitors include the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia.
What’s New on the 2019 Nissan Armada?
Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are now standard. Nissan’s Rear Door Alert, which can remind you to check the backseat before leaving the SUV, is also standard.
What Features in the 2019 Nissan Armada Are Most Important?
The Armada offers second-row captain’s chairs in place of a bench seat. The captain’s chairs decrease seating capacity to seven but make it easier to move between the second and third rows. An 8,500-pound maximum towing capacity should be able to handle most trailers a family will want to pull. Premium available features include a power liftgate, a dual-screen rear entertainment system, a power-adjustable steering column, a 360-degree camera system and a powered third-row seat. Active-safety options include blind spot warning and lane departure warning.
Should I Buy the 2019 Nissan Armada?
The Armada delivers a commanding driving position and roomy second row, but like some other non-long-wheelbase full-size SUVs, its third-row seat is snug and there’s not a lot of cargo room behind it. It also takes a big lift to clear the rear bumper when loading luggage.
