Down the highway it comes - tires shuffling, suspension buckling. You watch this massive SUV with a cautious eye, half-expecting it to collapse beneath its own weight. Thereâ€™s nothing graceful in the sputter of an engine; and thereâ€™s certainly no speed to find. The entire platform huffs and heaves through every mileâ€¦ and you give your 2018 Armada SV a grateful pat.

As The Chicago Tribune explains, Nissan embraces high-performance with its new Armada. This model defies its mini-van predecessors - delivering a V8 experience that will thrill. Take a peek beneath the hood of the SV and discover a 5.6L DOHC 32-valve engine. This promises 390 HP (at 5,800 RPM) and 394 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPM). Variable valve event technology optimizes air intake levels, ensuring that pressure remains steady; while an electronic drive-by throttle bolsters each rev. A seven-speed automatic transmission boasts downshift syncing to enhance every gear; and a low final drive ratio (2.937:1) promotes fluid handling by eliminating clutch strain.

This allows the 2018 Armada SV to slide smoothly down the highway - achieving a 0 to 60 MPH run of 5.9 seconds. Despite its big-bodied frame (it boasts a 121.1-inch wheelbase), it can deftly navigate every mile. Check it out!
