When it comes to taking on tough terrain, the new 2018 Nissan Armada SL is a top pick. Capable of handling steep slopes and rocky areas, this full-size SUV can go just about anywhere. Eight passengers can sit comfortably, or you can fold down the all the seats to access 95.4 cubic feet of space.
The 2018 Armada was even chosen to compete in California’s Rebelle Rally, a 10-day off-roading adventure for women. Beginning at Lake Tahoe and concluding in San Diego, some participants selected this beast to carry them along the way.
Under the hood rests a massive 5.6-liter V8 engine that generates 390 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with 4WD and a seven-speed automatic transmission, it has a fuel economy set at 16 mpg combined (14 city/19 highway). With the proper towing package, the new Armada can haul 8,500 pounds without breaking a sweat. The SL trim level includes 20-inch wheels and rain-sensing wipers that come in handy during inclement weather.
