2007 Nissan Armada Review
This large SUV gets more power for 2007. Armada is based on Nissan's Titan pickup truck. It offers SE and LE versions in rear- and 4-wheel drive. The 4WD system can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. The sole engine is again a 5.6-liter V8 but now with 317 hp vs 305. It teams with a 5-speed automatic transmission. ABS and an antiskid system are standard. A load-leveling suspension is standard on LE, optional on SE. A power liftgate is standard on LEs, available for SEs; both include opening glass. Curtain side airbags covering all three seating rows are standard. Front side airbags and leather upholstery are available for SE, standard on LE. LE seats seven and has 2nd-row bucket seats with a removable center console. Optional on LE and standard on the others is a 2nd-row bench for eight-passenger capacity. The 3rd-row bench has a 60/40 split and folds into the cargo floor. Exclusive to LE is an optional navigation system with rearview camera. Nissan's upscale Infiniti brand sells a retrimmed Armada as the QX56.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large SUVs are traditionally workhorse seven-plus passenger wagons with brawny truck-type chassis, ample towing ability, lots of cargo space, and generally poor fuel economy. These vehicles offer towing and payload ratings similar to large pickup trucks.

Our Best Buys include Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, and GMC Yukon and Denali. Our Recommended pick is the Ford Expedition.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Denali, and Ford Expedition.
News
Sources say Armada may get a freshening of some kind for 2008--emphasize "may." With demand for big SUVs generally soft now, Nissan may be unwilling to spend money updating a vehicle that isn't selling well, even though each sale earns a hefty profit. A redesigned Armada is being rumored for model-year 2010 or 2011.
