The 2017 Nissan Armada boasts new features inside and out, making it an exciting option for anyone shopping for an SUV. From an upgraded engine to exterior flourishes, the redesigned Armada is even more attractive than previous versions. Check out this list of what are sure to be the most exciting features of the 2017 Nissan Armada.

More Power to Get You Going

Lift the hood on the Armada and take a peek at the 5.6-liter V8 engine that kicks out 390 horsepower. That’s 73 horsepower more than the engine on the 2016 Armada. Drivers have access to this powerful beast of a machine through an automatic seven-speed transmission.

Better Performance on the Road

Design changes to the Armada’s body create an increase in twisted body stiffness. With a 20 percent improvement in stiffness, the 2017 model offers better handling and an improved ride.

High-Tech Safety Measures

Equipped with a variety of safety features, the 2017 Armada relies on technology to decrease the chances you’ll experience a crash. A monitoring system warns of a pending forward collision and objects in your blind spot when you’re about to change lanes. In addition, the Armada comes with a system to monitor all the way around the vehicle. It alerts the driver when it detects a moving object nearby.

Even with all the changes, one thing remains the same: The Armada still has a body-on-frame construction. While some SUVs and crossovers are going to the unibody design that’s more typical of sedans, the Armada retains the more rugged style of vehicle frame.
