2022 Nissan Armada

Engine Type

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. 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. 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 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. When it comes to performance, the 2022 Nissan Armada is built to take its drivers to new heights.

Driving and Handling

Driving with confidence is made easy on the 2022 Armada 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), Ground Clearance (that helps give the Armada further capability to travel off the beaten path), and the Hill Start Assist (that keeps the vehicle from rolling backward when it’s on a hill). The response that drivers receive from the powerful standard V-8 engine is satisfying in every driving condition. Buyers can look forward to getting behind the wheel of the 2022 Armada as it is the SUV that drives like a truck. 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.

Exterior Features

The colorway options for the exterior further 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. These six completely beautiful paint shades give an even more alluring look to the already stunning Armada. The SUV’s boxy and slightly curved body makes it eyecatching 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.

Interior Features

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.  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. 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.

Entertainment

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. Drivers can also 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. The Infotainment system comes loaded with WiFi Hotspot capability, Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the Nissan Door-to-Door navigation system for every unique need and situation. The beautiful addition that brings all of these features to the buyer’s fingertips is the 12.3-inch infotainment display that is standard for each trim level, and the biggest screen in any Armada ever seen. 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.

Safety Features and Options

The 2022 Armada comes packed with safety features thanks to the Safety Shield 360 safety tech suite, including forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention alert, and adaptive cruise control. There are four different trim options available to suit each unique buyer and while each brings unique and incredible features, it is recommended to take the SL trim into consideration. 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 other 2022 Nissan Armada unique trim levels include the Nissan Armada S, the Nissan Armada SV, the Nissan Armada SL, the Nissan Armada Platinum, and the Midnight Edition. 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.
