About the 2010 Nissan Armada

1st generation (2004-2015), late-cycle model year after the 2008 mid-cycle styling and interior update.

Nissan positioned the Armada as a full-size family SUV for big trips, towing, and hauling people without giving up V8 power. The messaging centered on adventure for eight passengers, strong towing ability, and a roomy cabin with folding rear seats for cargo flexibility. Compared with many truck-based rivals, Nissan leaned on the Armada’s usable third row, strong towing numbers, and a cabin that felt more upscale as buyers moved up the trim range.

The SE is the practical starting point, with eight-passenger seating, a folding third row, rear parking sensors, and a 317-hp V8. Titanium adds leather seating, a rearview camera, Bose audio, towing hardware, and a power-folding third row. Platinum sits at the top with navigation, rear-seat DVD entertainment, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate.
