If you are in need of a plush hauler, offering plenty of room for passengers and an upscale feel, the 2018 Nissan Armada Platinum is a solid contender. Awarded 8 out of 10 for comfort and quality by The Car Connection, this full-size, three-row SUV is your ticket to serious luxury.
Â
Â
A quick glance at the Armada Platinum and one thing is certain – it shares the same great looks and high-end appeal as its cousin, the Infiniti QX80. From the outside in, this SUV is curvaceous and bold, boasting a luxe interior with overstuffed bucket seats that deliver a throne-like experience from the first two rows. As you slip into the driver’s chair, the leather-wrapped four-spoke steering feels good in your hands, while the soft-touch materials and wood-trim accents are easy on the eyes. The leather upholstery throughout is buttery soft too.
Â
The 2018 Armada boasts high-tech luxury with a standard 8-inch touchscreen with NissanConnect, blind-spot monitors, automatic emergency braking, and active lane control. New for 2018, the Platinum trim also includes a rearview camera that displays a live feed from the back of the vehicle, eliminating any visual obstructions caused by the rearmost roof pillars, head rests, or passengers.
Â
The Armada is made for the most-discerning drivers who have a penchant for life’s finer details. To see if this SUV might be the vehicle for you, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, for a test drive.

Nissan certainly has winter on its mind! To complement the snowmobile-inspired 370Zki, which the automaker is unveiling at this week's Chicago Auto Show, the engineers at Nissan have also created a second concept car, dubbed the 2018 Armada Snow Patrol.
Â
This design literally takes Nissan's flagship SUV to new heights, removing the Armada from the carpool line and returning it to its roots as an adventure-ready off-roader. It features an all-new design with more height, a massive front bumper, and extreme all-terrain tires, making this SUV ready for anything, including snow-covered mountains.
Â
Â
The 2018 Armada Snow Patrol comes equipped with 20-inch Cognito Series 61 wheels finished in satin black and Pro Comp MT2 off-road tires. The suspension has been raised by two inches in the front and one inch in the rear, giving it a towering and aggressive stance.Â
Â
Up front, the bumper features a new bull bar, 12,000 lb winch, and LED light bar. Adding to the vehicle's rugged appeal are five-inch LED fog lights, custom side steps, rock sliders, and a huge LED light bar on the roof rack. Under the Armada Snow Patrol's bright blue wrap with custom badging, the interior of the cabin has also been re-trimmed with leather seats and door panels.
Â
The Armada Snow Patrol is a definite hard-core SUV - one that has Seattle off-roaders hoping to see it hit the production line soon. Alas, the automaker has yet to announce official plans for this concept - and they may never will.Â
Â
But, you can still get a taste of the 2018 Armada's best-in-class standard 390 horsepower, full-feature eight-passenger interior and class-exclusive Intelligent Rear View Mirror by scheduling a test drive at our dealership. To learn more, contact us at Kirkland Nissan today.
