Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
The great unknown too often proves frustrating. You seek out those hidden trails and forgotten horizons - only to find your car battered by loose gravel, broken pavement, and layers of dust. It’s simply too much to endure.

Nissan sympathizes - which is why it’s fused the 2018 Armada Platinum with a series of fascia upgrades. This crossover delivers off-road utility, making it ideal for Tacoma drivers who demand more than sedan performance. The pioneer spirit can now continue.



As the Boston Herald explains, the 2018 Armada Platinum has been tailored for adventure. Its massive frame - which measures 209-inches long, 80-inches wide, and 76-inches high - yields a stable ride, resting on all-season tires and 20-inch machine-finished aluminum wheels. Louvered fenders shield the chassis from debris, deftly deflecting flying rocks; while flared splash guards protect the undercarriage. Chrome accents define the grille, side-view mirrors, and running boards (this sturdy material will endure Washington’s worst weather with ease, offering a long-lasting shine); and LED low-beam headlamps illuminate every corner, allowing drivers to more efficiently avoid rough terrains.

To further emphasize utility, the 2018 Armada also features rugged steel paneling - with high-strength beams anchoring the frame. This defends against sudden collisions (the doors and fenders are engineered to absorb impacts and disperse friction, allowing the platform to maintain its structural integrity with greater precision). No environment will prove too great to conquer.

2018 armada suv for sale in seattle washingtonWhen driving a full-size SUV, there’s a lot to be said for features that can help you feel safer and more secure on congested roadways. After all, these big vehicles often come with larger blind spots and can be somewhat difficult to maneuver, especially if you are used to driving a sedan or compact crossover. 
 
But, that’s not the case with the 2018 Nissan Armada. It stands out from other full-size SUVs in its segment with its extensive suite of available advanced safety and security systems:
 
Intelligent Forward Collision Warning 
This system can warn of risks that lie beyond your forward field of vision. It uses advanced radars to sense the relative velocity and distance of a vehicle directly ahead, as well as the car traveling two lengths before you. 
 
Intelligent Cruise Control 
This safety feature works like a standard cruise control system, but with the added benefit of maintaining a selected distance from the vehicle in front of you.
 
RearView Monitor and Intelligent Around View Monitor 
This system provides an extra set of eyes when backing out of driveways or into tight spots. The innovative Intelligent Around View Monitor can also be handy when negotiating off-road trails because it provides a virtual bird’s-eye view from above the vehicle.
 
Intelligent Lane Intervention, Lane Departure Warning & Blind Spot Warning 
All of these safety features will alert you of potential lane drifts and detected vehicles within the blind spot area to help avoid a collision. 
 
Stay safer on Seattle’s roads this summer. To learn more about the 2018 Armada, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan for a test drive.
Absurdity reigns supreme of social streams - with users inundated with endless gifs, clips, and random musings. Hours are wasted wading through the virtual chaos each day.

Nissan proves, however, that there is value in tweeting - because the 2018 Armada Mountain Patrol has arrived.



According to CNET, Nissan has launched a unique automotive experience - allowing its social media followers to design an entire crossover! The 2018 Armada Mountain Patrol (a concept vehicle that will soon begin the circuit rounds) was pieced together by driver input. Men and women flooded the Twitter-sphere with a series of off-road suggestions… and these were then implemented into the ultimate all-terrain option.

The Mountain Patrol rests on 17-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. Its sport-tuned suspension delivers a nine-inch ground clearance (allowing the platform to propel itself over every terrain), while rock sliders protect the sides from debris. Steel bumpers anchor the front and rear; an LED light-bar cuts through the dark; and a hefty 12,000-pound winch frames the back, allowing drivers to effortlessly connect to every Class IV trailer.

To further impress, this Armada also features a Lowrance navigation system - which delivers turn-by-turn route planning and real-time environmental monitoring to ensure seamless travels. Drivers can easily interface with this suite via the eight-inch LCD touchscreen, taking advantage of its streaming forecasts, traffic alerts, and gridline support.

Every detail of the 2018 Mountain Patrol is tailored for the off-road experience… and defined by passengers. The automotive world will never be the same.

Great news, Seattle SUV shoppers – the U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the 2018 Nissan Armada on their top five list of large SUVs, confirming what we have always known here at Kirkland Nissan. Americans still love their big, burly vehicles, especially ones that deliver powerful V8 performance, like the Armada.
 
 
So, what did the U.S. News & World Report rave about Nissan’s signature large SUV? Right off the bat, they noted the Armada for its strong performance and towing capacity. It is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine, which outputs a serious 390 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, the Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds. If you like recreational toys, that’s ample capacity to haul ATVs, dirt bikes, or even a small boat.
 
The 2018 Armada also scored top marks for its expansive second-row seats and well-built cabin, which features capacity for seven or eight passengers, depending on whether you choose the available second-row bucket seats. Even at highway speeds, the Armada delivers a quiet cabin, which is outfitted with many high-end features, like a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, cooled front seats, Bluetooth, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system. To help you navigate busy parking lots, a standard rearview mirror displays live video footage from the rear of the vehicle.

Want to improve the Washington miles? Nissan suggests customizing your crossover - piecing together the perfect accessories for each adventure. This is why it’s created a dynamic suite of options for the 2018 Armada SL, allowing drivers to tailor the cabin to their specific needs.

A bespoke experience awaits.



As Nissan explains, the 2018 Armada SL boasts a wide array of accessories - each meant to enhance the cabin and improve rider comfort. Choose a six-piece carpet set to bring plush textures to the floor. Add a deflector to the power moonroof, helping to reduce wind and lessen interior noise; while available illuminated kick plates provide easy entry at night, allowing riders to quickly measure the high step-up. Ambient lighting (installed at the foot-wells, media console, and cup-holders) creates a refined interior; while a wireless charger delivers fast device syncing (it’s tucked neatly in the center storage bin and accommodates both Android and Apple phones).

To further impress, drivers may also choose a hatch tent for the 2018 Armada. This 10x10 option transforms the rear bay into a snug camping spot, with its high-quality mesh protecting passengers from sun, wind, and more. Connect it to the side fenders to create an instant outdoor retreat.

The 2018 Armada SL yields a customizable cabin - enabling drivers to take control of every mile. To learn more about the available accessories for this platform contact our team today.

Convenience has come to the crossover market - with Nissan revealing its exclusive Driver Package. This suite delivers ease with every mile, readying the 2018 Armada SV for adventures both big and small.


According to Nissan, the 2018 Armada SV offers more than a massive body (209-inches long, 80-inches wide, and 76-inches high). Instead this big-fendered platform has been fused with value - taking advantage of the Driver Package and its many upgrades. This collection of add-ons enhances both the cabin and the fascia, delivering premium performance to Washington:

Interior

An auto-dimming rearview mirror now anchors the cabin, countering highway glares and ensuring clear visuals from every angle; while the third-row features power-folding cushions, providing easy access to the cargo bay. A HomeLink Universal Transceiver has also been mounted to the dash, enabling drivers to experience one-touch convenience (open the garage door, lock the gate, and more with the press of a button).

Exterior

A power lift-gate frames the rear, simplifying all cargo needs; while fog lamps cut through the dark, yielding wide-angle LED beams. To further enhance the Armada’s off-road capabilities, a trailer brake controller has been installed - allowing for Class IV connectivity and increased payloads (up to 1,724 pounds).

With the introduction of the Driver Package Nissan brings value to the Washington market. To learn more about this 2018 Armada suite contact us today.
The water rises - tumbling steadily across a bank, winding its way to the pavement beyond. The current is quick; the mud is thick; and you frown inside your sedan, knowing its sloping chassis will prove thoroughly unsuitable for this adventure. It’s time to turn back.

It’s also time to seek out an SUV.

Nissan believes that every terrain can be conquered - even ones soaked in river water. This is why it’s paired the 2018 Armada with class-leading ground clearance, allowing drivers to roll over any obstacle with ease.



According to the Milford Mirror, the 2018 Armada dominates every road - with its massive body able to sail across each challenge. Resting on 18-inch aluminum wheels, this platform can effortlessly maneuver over rocks and rivers alike. Its extended wheelbase (121.1-inches) boasts an angled front track, which curves the 67.5-inch base upward to eliminate overhangs. The raised door arches offer 34.8-inches of lift-over height, while the double-wishbone suspension has been raised to elevate the entire chassis. This ensures both increased ground clearance and a more efficient ride, with Nissan able to bolster responses with stabilizing axles and shock absorbers.

When these elements combine they allow the 2018 Armada to achieve 9.1-inches of ground clearance - enabling drivers to rev past every terrain with the press of the pedal. The platform has been raised to ensure maximum capability and minimum underbody damage. Integrated skid plates and debris shields further enhance the experience, protecting each system from harm.

Less isn’t more. This is the mantra chanted by Nissan engineers - with every line of the big-wheeled Armada Platinum fused with a supersized sensibility. Cargo no longer proves a challenge. Instead even the most unwieldy items can be packed away with ease, with this platform delivering ample storage options for every family.

Bigger really is better in Seattle.



As In Forum explains, the 2018 Armada Platinum emphasizes space. Inside its massive cabin (208.9-inches long, 79.9-inches wide, 75.8-inches high) is a total passenger volume of 95.4 cu.ft. The tri-tow design yields maximum value, utilizing a series of innovative storage technologies to adapt to any demand. The leather seats boast a 60/40 split-folding configuration, fitting snugly against the floor to accommodate large cargo; while a power lift-gate delivers quick access to the rear bay. A padded center console sits in the second row, providing easy organization for tablets, laptops, and other devices; and side-trays unfold from the back of the SUV to ensure custom support. Under-mounted solutions (including bins and slide-out cubbies) further assist drivers, enabling them to neatly tuck away everyday items.

The 2018 Armada also features eight strategically placed tie-downs - all of which can be used to securely strap in luggage, sporting equipment, and other goods. Use these cargo bay options on every adventure.

Nissan believes that Seattle drivers deserve more than basic storage options. This is why it’s bolstered the new Armada with a cavernous cabin design - ensuring seamless solutions for every item.

One rule defines the crossover market - comfort is a necessity, not an afterthought. These massive platforms have to anticipate and accommodate passenger needs; and a surplus of soft-touch materials must be offered.

Nissan applauds this philosophy - but it also recognizes that Seattle drivers deserve more than mere comfort. Style is instead needed. This is why it seeks to elevate every mile with its 2018 Armada Platinum Reserve, pushing eight-passenger design to new heights.



According to JD Power, the 2018 Platinum Reserve will impress even the most discerning families. Slip into its expansive cabin (209-inches long, 80-inches wide) and discover chic design. Genuine wood trim lines the cabin walls, while black quartz emphasizes the sleek dash. The dual-row captain’s chairs boast two-tone leather materials; and a power moonroof floods the space with light, showcasing the newly revised C-Pillar construction (which creates a larger rear window). Sophisticated color choices - including Almond, Charcoal, and Pearl White - are strikingly contrasted by custom console emblems.

To further delight drivers, the 2018 Platinum Reserve also delivers a bold fascia. This platform sits on 20-inch dark chrome wheels, while burnished metallic trims line the windows, grille, and wheel arches. Shadow-treated roof-rails emphasize the tall profile (76-inches) to create a sporty effect.

With the release of the new Armada, Nissan brings sedan-worthy styling to the crossover market. To learn more about this model contact our team today!
