Calling the 2017 Nissan Armada Platinum the king of the road may somehow be an understatement. In truth, it’s an absolute titan. A luxurious interior cabin and a ferociously powerful motor are hallmarks of this massive SUV. “Alex on Autos†provides a detailed review below.


The Platinum version of the 2017 Armada has all the features from the lower trims—comforts like heated cushions and side mirrors, parking assistance, a navigation system, and more. But this one ups the ante. You’ll receive rain-sensing windshield wipers to help during inclement conditions. The seats are leather, an upgrade over the premium cloth seen in other models. And when the weather is cooperating, you can slide and tilt the overhead glass sunroof and enjoy the sun and wind.
The incredible engine may be the true pride of the 2017 Armada, however. It’s a souped-up 5.6L V8 that is a monster—and we mean that as a compliment. It’s good for 390 HP and 394-lb.-ft. of torque. No messy manual to try to figure out here, either—you’re dealing strictly with a familiar seven-speed automatic transmission.
