If you like the 2017 Nissan Maxima and the 2017 Nissan Rogue but need more space for passengers and gear, we have a vehicle for you – the 2017 Nissan Armada. The all-new, second-generation Nissan Armada isn’t “just” a three-row SUV that has comfortable seating for up to eight adult passengers. It’s also an award-winning SUV that’s been noticed by some automotive industry heavyweights.
One such industry authority is Popular Mechanics. As Indianapolis, IN Nissan dealers, we’re extremely proud to tell you that the 2017 Nissan Armada was named “SUV of the Year” as part of Popular Mechanics’ 2017 Automotive Excellence Awards.
The Nissan Armada comes in three well-appointed trims that are equipped with either two or four-wheel drive. The new Nissan Armada is powered by a 5.6-liter, eight-cylinder Endurance engine that’s paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. According to the Nissan brand, this combination provides best-in-class maximum horsepower. When properly equipped, the Nissan Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
The editors at Popular Mechanics praised the 2017 Nissan Armada for delivering a “luxury-SUV experience at a Nissan price.” They liked the SUV’s combination of upmarket features at a price many motorists can afford.
“As our flagship model in the expanding Nissan SUV and crossover portfolio, [the Nissan] Armada offers best-in-class maximum horsepower, a range of class-exclusive available safety and security features, and an interior that you’d expect to find in a much more expensive vehicle,” said Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. “Already in 2017, [Nissan] Armada sales are up nearly 156 percent – meaning a lot of people are in agreement with the experts at Popular Mechanics.”
