In the competitive full-size SUV market, the 2014 Nissan Armada Platinum knows how to hold its own. With its commodious body size and big thirsty power, it has remained a popular choice with Seattle outdoor enthusiasts and big families alike.
Â
Â
When Nissan engineered the 2014 Armada, they equipped it with the most powerful 5.6-liter V8 engine, rated for 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque. As a result, the performance on this SUV is outstanding! When outfitted with a towing packing, it can haul up to 9,000 lbs, which is heads and tails above other full-sized options. Whether you are hitching your boat for a day at the lake or setting out on your next camping excursion, the Armada is ready for your family’s adventures.
Â
On the road, it handles quite nicely due to its independent double-wishbone suspension, which is designed for greater agility on all surfaces. The speed-sensitive steering also aids in maneuvering the big SUV in parking lots, while the five-speed automatic transmission is quick off the line and kicks down readily for passing on the highway.
Â
Inside, the Platinum is simply cavernous and ready to adapt to multiple needs with room for eight passengers or a total of 97.1 cubic feet of cargo. The second row boasts a pair of captain’s chairs divided by a removable center console, creating a clear and easy pathway to the third row. Standard features on this top-of-the-line trim include an 11-speaker Bose sound system, a DVD player with two 7-inch screens, and a sunroof.
