2022 Nissan Armada

Engine Type

When it comes to performance, the 2022 Nissan Armada is built to take its drivers to new heights. Backed by a powerful 5.6-liter V-8 engine that is mated by an impeccable seven-speed automatic transmission, the Armada is one of the most capable SUVs on the market. The engine produces a whopping 400-horsepower with 413 lb-ft of torque that allows it to handle towing up to 8,500 pounds in rear- or all-wheel drive. The seven-speed transmission gives its driver even more power within their reach by coming with a variety of modes for towing, hauling, and even manual shifting. Even more capability is added with the intelligent 4×4 system that is built for virtually anything from rain to mud and even snow. The 2022 Armada was designed to take its drivers on any adventure and make easy work out of hauling, off-roading, and even just cruising down the highway.

Driving and Handling

Buyers can look forward to getting behind the wheel of the 2022 Armada as it is the SUV that drives like a truck. The response that drivers receive from the powerful standard V-8 engine is satisfying in every driving condition. The 4-wheel drive also makes it a capable vehicle to handle whenever one decides to take this beauty out for an off-roading adventure. Even on its available 22-inch wheels, the Armada offers a smooth and hushed ride that doesn’t dull the driver’s sense of control. Driving with confidence is made easy with features like the Active Brake Limited Slip (that automatically brakes whichever wheel it senses is slipping while sending additional power to the others to provide better traction), the Hill Start Assist (that keeps the vehicle from rolling backward when it’s on a hill), and Ground Clearance (that helps give the Armada further capability to travel off the beaten path).

Exterior Features

The SUV’s boxy and slightly curved body makes it eye-catching and completely unforgettable to anyone that catches a glimpse of it on the road. Thanks to the facelift that its earlier 2021 model received, the 2022 Armada looks even fresher than before, with the rear end looking just as stunning thanks to the light signature it carries which gives it a plush appearance while still maintaining its ruggedness. The colorway options for the exterior also amplify how stunning the vehicle is, with exterior paint coats like Coulis Red Pearl, Aspen White TriCoat, Brilliant Silver Metallic, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Mocha Almond Pearl, and Hermosa Blue Pearl. No matter which of the six paint options a buyer may choose, it will only add to the alluring and already stunning 2022 Nissan Armada.

Interior Features

Buyers looking for a comfortable, spacious, and luxurious interior should look no further than the 2022 Armada. Not only is the cabin insulated from outside noise, but it also boasts incredibly attractive and soft materials within its interior. The Armada can comfortably fit up to eight passengers thanks to the three rows of seats it brings and can be customized to include the optional second-row captain’s chairs for seven passengers. There is no shortage of cargo or leg space within the cabin of the Armada, and the power-folding third-row (standard on the SL trim and up) can easily and effortlessly be adjusted through the buttons in the cargo area or on the third row’s armrests. The impressive 95.4 cu.ft of cargo space isn’t the only thing buyers can count on, the under-floor cargo storage and device storage only add to that. Other notable features are the power liftgate and the intuitive Driver’s Memory System that can sync with more than one Nissan Intelligent Key so each driver is greeted with their preferred settings.

Entertainment

A beautiful addition to the 2022 Nissan Armada is the 12.3-inch infotainment display that is standard for each trim level, and the biggest screen in any Armada ever seen. Drivers can enjoy a clear widescreen view of all the information that is important to them. They can easily maneuver through apps, screens, and even more with centrally located controls. Integrated with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Nissan Door-To-Door, the infotainment system brings everything anyone would ever need right within that 12.3-inch display. Taking on the SL trim brings an upgraded 13-speaker Bose audio system that is more than impressive, and the Platinum trim adds a rear-seat entertainment system with dual 8.0-inch screens. USB and USB-C ports are located in both the front and second rows, and the 2022 Armada also features a 120-volt AC Power Outlet for all other electronic charging that may be needed.

Options and Safety

The 2022 Nissan Armada offers buyers four very unique trim levels ranging from the Nissan Armada S, the Nissan Armada SV, the Nissan Armada SL, the Nissan Armada Platinum, and the Midnight Edition. While each brings unique and incredible features, it is recommended to take the SL trim into consideration as it brings the aforementioned 13-speaker Bose audio system, leather interior appointments, remote start, 20-inch rims, and a beautiful sunroof. The SL also includes the option for the second-row captain’s chairs. The Midnight Edition also should be taken into consideration as its appearance package is dark and even more unique thanks to the special floor mats, black exterior accents, and the 20” 12-Spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
