Used 2019 Nissan Armada Consumer Reviews
A Drivers Full Size SUV
If you like driving this SUV could be better. It's fully capable both on and off road and drives well in both environments. If you enjoy driving and a vehicle designed for the driver the Nissan Armada isn't it. Terrible fuel economy and poor ride quality. Not impressed with this vehicle and looking to trade into a Ford Expedition first chance I get.

Gas guzzler and rough ride
Rental company gave me an Armada as “Ford Explorer or similar” for week long rental to drive from Ohio to Texas. I’ve driven an Explorer and the Armada doesn’t come close in regard to handling and gas mileage. Had to stop so many times to refill tank. Nice interior and safety features but poor stability. Top heavy and didn’t feel solid or smooth when going over rough roads. Felt like it was skidding left or right going over bumps. Access to back is difficult because it sits up so high. Dog had difficult time getting into the back. Hard to pack in luggage. Not an SUV I would purchase. Taking back to rental company early.
A technology mess.
We rented a 2019 Armada SL for an 8-day road trip. It was generally nice to drive - comfortable with a strong and quiet V8. I guzzled gas and had a pretty small tank, but neither was a surprise. The additional seating in the back was nice when we didn’t have our luggage with us, but is unusable if you need any storage. Lots of bells and whistles seemed a bit over the top - both a rear and overhead camera views for backing up is a good example. Nice, but overkill when you can just use your eyes to look around. The bells and whistles ended up making driving the car a real hassle - the whole system needed to reset pretty regularly. The front radar unit used for emergency braking and cruise control was broken from the start. It took some time with the owners manual to figure out what was wrong and how to work around that failure to get just regular old cruise control to work. About half the time, though, the broken radar would turn off even regular cruise control functionality and the only solution was to pull over, turn off the engine, and then restart to reboot the electronics system. One time both the cruise control and the stereo volume adjustment both went out. One engine shut off fixed the volume knob, but it took a second engine shut off to get the cruise control working again. Since you only know if the cruise control works when you are going down the highway, this whole event took more time than we wanted to waste and was really annoying. There were other weird things - one was some sort of “check the back seat” kind of warning that would occasionally honk the horn 5-8 times after I left the vehicle. I think it is supposed to stop you from locking an infant in the back, but in practice is just unnecessary. Walking away from a car that sounds like the alarm is going off is not really a safety feature in my mind. I can only imagine that the neighbors would get pretty sick of this pretty quickly if you owned this thing. There were other warnings that I would turn off, only to have them on the next time I started the car. All-in-all a really poor implementation of some probably unnecessary “features.” In the end it was a relief to return the Armada. One week convinced me to stay away from every buying one of these. All the minor annoyances never left us stranded or anything, but I sure would not want to be stuck paying the repair bills on this thing. The radar unit alone is probably $1k, and it would probably take ten trips to the dealer to figure out why the volume knob sometimes stops working. Our rental only had 20k miles on it - I can only imagine what a mess this Armada will be at 40k.
