If your reading this review, your likely considering the 2017 Armada. I've long been impressed with the looks and performance of the QX56/80 and when Nissan first released the very similar redesigned Armada, I immediately wanted one. After reading the "expert" reviews, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase a 2017 Black on Black Platinum 4WD. My new Armada is absolutely beautiful and is the envy of our friends. I found it a little odd that I was filling up so freequently but have gotten used to the fact that this beast is just a gas hog. As it stands, we are only getting about 220-260 miles per tank. The freequency of fill ups is excessive and inconvenient. When driving the vehicle, the ride is nice and pleasant. The steering is a little sloppy and steering wheel feedback is lacking. The wheel turns too easily and doesn't return to the neutral position with enough force. A couple additional items to note, the USB port in the front center console charges at a Very slow rate. It's so slow that it barely keeps your phone from discharging while plugged in. Interior lighting is adequate however, it's very surprising to find that LED bulbs are nowhere to be found. The Bose sound system is also very underwhelming. There are very limited adjustments available which include basic Bass, Trebble, fader and balance only. Overall, we are very pleased with the 2nd Gen Armada and proud to arrive in style. **I highly recommend getting the available software update. This has helped with acceleration and shifting issues.

I bought this vehicle because as a previous Nissan owner I had a high confidence level in quality and performance. The 2017 Nissan armada platinum has been a disappointment. In just at a year of ownership the battery has had to be replaced, the key fob batteries have been replaced and still give me issues on opening the vehicle and using g for ignition, the engine has had to be re programmed the transmission had issues with pulling while shifting hears so it had to be re programmed the USB ports encasement was not properly built in the abs system has been replaced and now the ADAS system has been replaced. In all honesty the vehicle has been seen for the same issue (while driving I get. Amessage with all icons on. The dash board lit that I need to pull over stop and turn off the vehicle and restart it. Only to find the vehicle will not re start) this issue is still exists y and no one knows how to fix it because they can't re-create the issue. Nissan of San Marcos has been no help and Nissan One has been even worse at at least trying to find a resolution. I highly recommend if you are considering an armada I urge you. RECONSIDER!!!

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Armada new & loved the new look, spacious interior & the upgrades that I chose. It suited my family perfectly. I didn’t do a lot of long distance driving in it & always kept up with the maintenance. Update 2022, it has less than 60,000 miles on it, still looks good & still going in for regular maintenance. I was driving & felt like my suv was running out of gas but I knew that couldn’t be it since I just put a full tank of gas in it. Breaks down & I find out it’s the transmission, $5k later one of the new parts ordered from Nissan is faulty so now I’m w/o a vehicle for over a month. Going on 2 weeks now & was told the new part should be in from Japan at the end of the month! This is my 3rd Nissan & my last. Mechanic says the vehicle he’s sees less of is Toyota.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Armada in September and it has been in the shop for multiple issues. I bought my Platinum Armada thinking i wouldn't have any issues for a long time to come. Well that was farther from the truth..... The issues started the day I took it home and its currently in the repair shop for 12 days now for a total of 3 trips now. I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision in buying a model in its first year on the market... because it has been in the shop for 23 out of the 40 days since the day I brought it home. I have been a loyal customer to the Nissan Brand for many years. I never thought that I would be writing a review about how unhappy I am with my Nissan Armada. Its just painful when you make a purchase of this magnitude and spend your hard earned money for a product that turns out to be a NIGHTMARE. Im not sure how this story will end but its already taken a toll on me. If I had to do it all over again I would have waited another year before buying the Nissan Armada. I have to say its looks nice with all the bells and whistles. When you can't drive your new vehicle without issues all of that goes out the window. Well I will have to wait to see how this all plays out and do a follow up to this review after I get my vehicle back. So stay tuned for part 2 of my saga!!!
