Anyone shopping for a full-size SUV these days has lots of things to consider. You'll need plenty of room for people and cargo, but you also need to keep all those people and their belongings comfortable and safe, even over the course of a multi-hour road trip. Nissan redesigned its Armada for 2017, arriving at a new version that offers considerably more luxury than off-road capability. But for 2018, Nissan beefs up the Armada's tech, making an 8-inch touchscreen running a new infotainment system standard across the lineup and adding the Intelligent Rear View Mirror.
Standard features for 2018 include a 5.6-liter V8 and a 7-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is available for every trim. Roof rails, full-length running boards, and keyless entry and ignition also come standard, though our reviewer found it confusing that the Armada's new infotainment system does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Uncle rich is coming with his kitchen knife.
your comments at 4:36 . Thank you!! I was so concerned with mine and you confirmed my suspicions. I love my Armada. No need for platnum. got the SL with premium trim ;)
Great review thank you
Thanks for the review. In the spirit of continuous improvement, it may be helpful to focus less on tech (which is also important), and more on road handling, braking, safety, and maybe a bit of offroad feel.
That's a nice cardigan, my grandmother owns one just like it.
Man, she's got style for miles.
About 4 months ago, my wife and I bought a new 2019 Armada 4x4, SV with the Driver's Convenience and Towing packages. It is year end so we got it for $8,000. off of sticker, for $44,500. USD. Our seats are cloth so maybe your leather seats sit you higher. I'm 6'2" and I don't have a problem. If yours had a sun roof, that lowers the ceiling. You mentioned gas mileage. Mine has 2,000 miles and I'm getting 13.8 mpg city, 18.7 highway ( 68 mpg (using my GPS) ) and, as close as I can figure, about 15.6 both combined. The mpg shown by the gauges in the vehicle are about 1/2 mpg optimistic. So far I have towed 4,800 lbs (including the trailer.) The car pulls and stops seamlessly. I usually tow 6,800 lbs, so I'm hoping that works well, too. I traded up from a 2015 Armada 4 x 4 SV (which was based on the Titan P/U truck and can tell you that there is significantly LESS space in the third row seating area and the area behind the third row. I have long leg legs and I can't imagine why you felt cramped, other than having heated and cooled seats and a sun roof. One more thing. If you think that $63,000. is too much to pay, go ride on-road in a $62,000. Jeep Rubicon!
Mike, thanks for sticking up for us tall guys. I'm so tired of the reviews that spend 20 minutes on the infotainment system and little to no time on driver comfort. I'm currently looking for a new vehicle, reliability and driver comfort are highest on my list of requirements and I can honestly say that if you under 6' tall you're pretty much covered but if you're over 6' (6'2" and above) your choices are limited.
I'm 6'2" and have no problems fitting into or driving my 2019 Nissan Armada SV.
What the hell, I came here looking for the Car Guru - who are you people and what have you done with the Car Guru??
L. G. Kidd good question
I came looking for the real CarGuru. WTF is this?
Looks good
Called Nissan Patrol in Oz - huge and reliable in outback and is where they belong - brilliant review mike
It's beast ❤👌
Stop the law action against Car Guru
michaelportell LL po
My mom just bought this exact one.
Mike I think you nailed it about the 2011 tech. At the base model it might be acceptable but at the higher priced trims absolutely a negative against this suv
I don't understand why Nissan would pay more money to differentiate this car compared to the overseas model when everyone in the US wants the overseas more rugged axles, ect. This idea had potential, but like all recent Nissan products, they cut corners and fail on execution.
I think that most people in the U.S. don't think about the heavier axles (if the Patrol has bigger axles and is beefier, why do the Armada and the Patrol weigh the same?) like you and I do. Most people here want comfort and AWD.
Good review, sunglasses and all. Keep up the great work!
This SUV is out-uglied only by the Infiniti QX80.
golfbuddy1969 Hahaha! Thing's a tank.
And another awesome review. Keep up the good work Mike. And looking dapper too I might add.
Ibby25 Thanks!
I owned this vehicle for 2 years and I hated how horrible it would shift out of park. The leather stained easily I was always cleaning it. Gas was bad and when you hit bumps your tail end wld feel like it it was slipping around. I did love the look but that was all. I would never suggest buying the vehicle.
possibly the worst review ever
Mike Read Thanks! With hard work, patience, and diligent attention to detail, I hope to someday produce THE worst review ever. But it's an honor that you consider this effort a contender..
Michael Perkins and a lot of sending lawyers after bigger and more original channels
😂😂😂😂
Sir, please refrain from wearing those items together. May I respectfully suggest a button-down shirt with a cardigan and a different pair of trousers? Or just lose the cardigan and go with the t-shirt & faded jeans look.
Does anyone know if the SV has AUTO HEADLIGHTS? The last SV murano and Pathfinder I test drove did not have auto headlights. GROSS!
MrFr8zilla Sure does. Auto LEDs.
is the 3rd row as good as the expedition ? I am trading in my explorer sport because we need 8 passengers and we want a real 3rd row.
MrFr8zilla I would say no, but I'm not the best judge of 3rd-row comfort.
auto led head lights or just the left strip lights. meaning do I have to turn the headlights on or do they come on at dusk by themselves?
because the pathfinder does not have auto on head lights. just has auto on led rope lights
The side view of the Armada is nice but any other perspective is bad. Nissan's are not that good right now
What happened to car guru?

Hi Mike! Excellent review as always. The exterior styling for some reason just looks off. Particularly the rear quarter. And I couldn't agree with you more on the outdated tech in this car. Unacceptable. Especially at this price point. The Ford Expedition or Chevy Tahoe are better options. IMO. Looking forward to your next review!
Reliability is very poor on the General Motors large SUV's.
Tahoes reliability is one of the worst!
Leave the reviews to the real car guru! #leaverichrebuildsalone
So ugly, lower the price a couple g's lol
soy milk
You complain any whine too much ....great vehicles. Just be quiet
Gabe Lara I'm a reviewer ... it's my job to point these things out. If you want nothing but praise, go to the Nissan dealership.
The worse review i have ever seen.
Unsubscribed!!!!!
Oh my god! Why is his clothes are so bad! Who style him? #turnoff #badoutfit #badreview
Jonathan Meng Not nice, Jonathan.
Dislike video, bad review
M 310 Any particular reason?
Horrible review
You talk to much
Just show the car and talk less please. Your opinion does not matter.
LosDelFLOWnyc I think you're a bit confused as to the point of a car REVIEW.
Michael Perkins you know what you are right. I typed In "2018 Nissan Armada Review" and did not see that your title says "Test drive"
Not what i was looking for. I apologize.
LosDelFLOWnyc No problem. Hope you find what you're looking for!
Michael Perkins you still suck
Such an ugly car wow
If you look at the shapes of SUVs of all sizes, the shapes are about the same for Nissan, Toyota Land Cruiser, the Range Rovers, Kias, Fords, and Dodges. Only General Motors and Mercedes are still square.
