The 2012 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV that's been battle-tested and ready to take on all the rigors of the road. Equipped with a 5.6 liter V8 that puts out a whopping 317 horsepower, the Armada is truly at the top of its class. All of its mechanical parts have been upgraded to offer tough as nails reliability, from its heavy-duty battery and radiator to its independent double-wishbone front and rear suspension. It also offers tuned body-to-frame mounts and a body undercoating, which helps prevent damage from dirt and debris.
The Armada is equipped for all your transportation needs with a Yakima-compatible roof rack. It's also pre-wired for towing. The Armada fits in perfectly on modern roads with its standard body-color exterior trim and chrome bumpers, and also has a 1-pierce rear liftgate with an opening window.
The Armada's spacious interior is packed with practical amenities. It has an air conditioning system with dual-zone climate controls, so each of the vehicle's occupants can set the ideal temperature. You'll find four 12-volt power outlets throughout, so you can travel with all your favorite electronic devices. An 8-way adjustable power driver seat makes it easy for you to find that perfect driving position. Additional features include power windows and locks, rear reading and map lights, and a convenient remote keyless entry system.
