After taking a hiatus for 2016, Nissan's full-size Armada SUV is back for 2017 in all-new form. It's not quite the same Armada North Americans have grown accustomed to, however: Where the previous Armada was based on the Titan pick-up truck and built in Canton, Mississippi, the new Armada makes a clean break from the Titan and is instead built in

The full-size Nissan Armada is not just all-new for 2017, it’s a completely different vehicle – albeit with similar capabilities to the previous Armada. From 2004 to 2015, the Armada was built in Canton, Mississippi on the Titan truck chassis, but after skipping the 2016 model year, it returns for 2017 as a North American-badged version of the Niss

The Nissan Armada has received a mild update for the 2021 model year that brings updated exterior styling, additional standard safety features and new technologies to the gargantuan family SUV. Nissan says the 2021 Armada features “more squared and chiseled bodywork appearance from the A-pillars forward,” compared to the pre-update model, h

Nissan has revealed the latest generation of its full-size Armada SUV prior to its official debut this weekend at the Chicago auto show. Key changes are in the big utility's styling (which now has more in common with the Infiniti QX80 ) and under the hood, where the Armada gets Nissan's new "Endurance" direct-injected 5.6L V8 engine, whose ra

Nissan will have you looking backwards with the 2018 Armada full-size SUV. But you'll be "looking through" objects with their Intelligent Rear View Mirror. Nissan says that the new mirror can "look around" interior obstructions like cargo and tall passengers, but it's not an X-ray mirror. It's a camera, mounted high in the tailgate of the SUV, t

MUSKOKA LAKES, ON – The goal seemed simple enough: head out with various unladen but tow-hitch-equipped Nissan trucks and SUVs to practice – or learn – how to properly tow a boat. And then practice – or learn – how to safely navigate that boat into and around the water around picturesque Muskoka Lakes. The easy part was learning the towing. The

History can be confusing. Take the 2017 Nissan Armada for instance, which is Nissan's biggest, most off-road capable SUV, able to tow big loads and carry up to eight people into territory that would stop a minivan in its tracks. The Armada was first introduced in the North American market for the 2004 model year, with a body-on-frame platform bas

Nissan Canada has announced it is expanding the availability of its Safety Shield 360 suite of advanced driver assists by making it standard on 11 models for the 2021 model year. According to Nissan Canada, the suite’s six features – forward collision detection with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, automatic h

Nissan has just announced that they will be adding automatic emergency braking as standard on eight of their most popular models. That puts the advanced safety system on nearly 90,000 Nissan vehicles next year. The automatic braking system will be standard on the 2018 Nissan Rogue , Murano , Pathfinder , and Armada SUVs. The larger vehicles

Nissan wants to sell more performance cars in more places. To help them do that, they are expanding their motorsports brand Nismo and giving them more resources to help develop more products faster. They will also be marketing them harder to make sure you know about them, adding Nismo dealers and race track experiences. Nissan's performance divi

Sometimes, big active families need big, activity-ready vehicles: ideally with plenty of space and traction and flexibility, and often, more so than what’s offered in a typical crossover CUV. Today, we’ve compiled three of our top picks for big families from the used vehicle marketplace with a focus on 4x4 or all-wheel drive (AWD) traction, spac

As of 2018, several manufacturers will happily sell you a fully reconditioned vehicle from their heritage division – think of the Series I Range Rover that JLR charges a trifling $240,000 for. It’s a new old car, for quite a lot of money. Things the Sequoia is not: sophisticated, elegant, subtle. Alternatively, you can also purchase an

Whether you need a big vehicle, or just want one, Ford provides the bulk with the Expedition, its largest sport-ute. It comes as the regular Expedition, as I drove it; it’s also available as the longer Expedition Max. Both have three rows of seats, but the Max extends the rear end for more cargo space. A minivan remains, and always will remai

About four years ago, Ford completely re-designed its massive-selling F-150 pickup, with the main addition being that all-aluminum body. The weight savings the material provides made for better fuel economy as well as better towing and load-bearing ability, as the lighter body weight meant more room for your load within the truck’s gross vehicle we

Nissan has just released 2019 pricing for a wide range of models. That includes the Rogue, which picks up a host of new safety gear, Armada, Titan XD, Versa Note, Sentra, Frontier, and the NV200 cargo van. The Rogue saw a refresh last year, but for 2019 gets wider availability of the company's Safety Shield 360 active safety suite. That includes
