Product Overview

Nissan Armada (chassis code TA60) is a full-size SUV in production from 2003 to 2016. It was available with two tunes of the same VK56DE naturally-aspirated V8 petrol engine that displaced 5.6 liters. The only transmission available was a 5-speed automatic, though both RWD and 4WD were offered.
The largest SUV in Nissan's portfolio, the Armada is based on the Titan and essentially a larger Pathfinder. It was also sold, with upgrades, as the Infiniti QX56.
With a 15.2L/100km (15.5mpg) fuel "dis-economy", owners have to be prepared to pay for their "smiles-per-mile". Utility-minded owners will love the 2750L (97cu-ft) cargo space.
