How it scores for you10 scores
Modern tech and a stout 8,500-lb tow rating finally bring the big Nissan current, but first-year screen glitches and 18 MPG are the price of admission.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 2 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $4,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 2% of cars we track.
20.4 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 33% of other SUVs we track.
Eight seats and a usable third row in a full-size body; cargo space is competitive.
The 425-hp twin-turbo V6 moves it convincingly, but it remains a big, comfort-tuned body-on-frame SUV.
Large dual displays and a modern assist suite finally bring the Armada current with the class.
Quieter and more composed than the old V8 truck, with plusher seating across trims.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
Rated to tow 8,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
