    Nice I was looking at this beauty today at the Nissan Dealership. I am a feminine female and the Armada SUV is definitely a SUV built more for the men. However I would still drive that gorgeous Armada wow what a beauty.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Despite its size, it drives very well for pretty much anyone, Last Days, once you get used to... well, the size. LOL Honestly, after a day or so in it, you'd be just fine. And some of us here think that feminine females in "manly" vehicles are a good look. Thanks for watching!

      AutoAcademics,yesterday I was at my local Bank window outside and this beautiful woman drove up to the Bank window on the other side. I asked her what year was her Armada she said a 2018. My husband is a Auto Mechanic and he is concern with the Gas Mileage and the Insurance rates. He does not seem to be interested in the Armada like I am,so I said okay. I have to listen to the Mister and trust his judgment. Thanks for the reply.

    Despite the Armada's outdated platform and tech and safety amenities, Nissan still manages to sell a ton of these to American soccer moms throughout suburbia.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's a nice alternative to the Tahoe, Sequoia, etc, J High. And depending upon who you ask, the Armada's styling is more progressive both inside and out when compared to many of its competitors. Guess soccer moms (and dads) like the looks. We do! But they have to stay in the 'burbs. These trucks are too big to drive in the city every day.

      Safety, the Platinum Armada gives what Lincoln Navigator, and Cadillac Escalade doesn't give, unless you get the Black Label Navigator, or Platinum Edition Escalade. Most notably, the back up collision intervention. Tahoe/Yukon doesn't even offer that. Platinum Armada, forward collision warning and intervention, back up collision warning and intervention, lane departure warning and intervention, blind spot monitoring and intervention, rear cross traffic alert and intervention. All for $65,000 to $70,000. Not $100,000 to get it all...

    They aren’t stepping on infinities toes... Nissan owns infinity. They are marketing to the people with a smaller budget. Same vehicle, less luxury.

    That is a Platinum RESERVE. Not just the Platinum. The manufacturer made that difference. Otherwise a great video.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      On this truck's spec sheet, the model trim is Platinum and the "Platinum Reserve Package" is listed as an option for $3,000, keghan1. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

    Qx80 and Armada is the same God damn truck. Infinity is Nissan. Infinity is the luxury version of Nissan and all it is with the Qx80 it is a better look interior wise and outer body also. Nissan platinum version is basically if u don't wanna pay 100k for everything I would go with Nissan and pay 60k and have all what the Qx80 has..wont lie they are extremely fast trucks honestly not sure why these trucks go that fast I did the Full dash in the Armada yes it could go 140mph and yes it will dust most of these fast sedans and two doors. I beat a R/T challenger SS Camero and Mustang GT 5.0 yes I have done it am in Texas there are long ass highways and 75 is the speed out here but yea I did the Full dash

    • @andrayr8900

      Beat them cause they’re pansies. 0-60 or top speed wise, bug SUVs aren’t going to beat sports car or even my sport sedan.

    hi ... if it were possible I would like very much you to make a video with a chevrolet traverse of 2017 and q would give us an explanation like the one you give us ... is that I am interested in that car but first I wanted to know more about that auto and who better than you to show us and explain us ... greetings and hugs from Miami

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We'll see what we can do, Alejandro Garcia. Chris just attended a presentation by Chevy on the 2018 Traverse and a few other models so hopefully we'll be able to get one to review soon!

    QX80 and Armada are pretty much a same vehicle with slightly diffrent body lines. Just like QX60 and Pathfinder are also the same vehicle with diffrent body lines. Same engine, same lame ass cvt tranny, how do people not know this?

    Infiniti QX80 does look much nicer than the Armada.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We do like the new front end of the QX80. Wasn't too fond of the "beluga whale" look of the previous design, though. We appreciate you, DIAMLER!
