New Improvements to the Nissan Armada May Go Unnoticed

The Nissan Armada may not look new from the outside, but this model year brings much needed updates to Nissan’s largest SUV. With more interest in smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles, Nissan, as well as other manufacturers, are trying to overhaul these big trucks and give them more amenities and features to make them more attractive to buyers, amid rapidly rising gas prices.

The 2008 Armada features only very subtle updated to its exterior, but as Nissan Jackson Mississippi buyers noticed, the Armada's unique curvature across the roof line remains maintaining the vehicles most distinctive exterior feature. However, most of the changes have been made to the vehicle’s cavernous interior which has been a huge selling point at Nissan Cleveland OH. New softer plastics adorn the dash of the Armada and center console, which also features a new large twist nob that helps control mapping functions below the large center navigation monitor.

Aside from the Armada's improved interior accommodations, Ontario CA Nissan buyers note the Armada’s engine gains a boost in horsepower to 315hp, up from 300hp, which is important for moving a vehicle of its size. The engine also features the best fuel economy when compared with its full-sized competitors such as the Toyota Tundra based Sequoia. But at 15mpg, that is not terribly impressive for most buyers.

The 2008 Nissan Armada is on sale now and is available at your nearest Nissan dealership.
