Used 2022 Nissan Armada Consumer Reviews
Would never consider buying one
Rented a full size SUV from one of the large rental companies for a week-long trip that was over 1800 miles total. The company listed full size SUV vehicles as Ford Expedition or "similar". I go to pick up my rental and they had a new Armada for me. I was never more happy to return a vehicle. It got us there and back, but that's about where it ended. None of the vehicles in that class have stellar fuel economy, but the Armada is worst. Averaged 16 mpg on the highway. The steering is terrible and it's a constant fight to keep it in the lane. Not to mention that the thing jams on the brakes if it thinks you are too close to another car. Dangerous on a highway when you're trying to pass or change lanes. The seats are horrible. I've made road trips three times as long and have never hurt so bad after a few hours behind the wheel. The middle row seats didn't recline and sat so upright they almost felt like sitting against a wall. The cargo area is a nightmare to load, especially if you lower the 3rd row for more space. Lowering the 3rd is electric and takes about forever for them to go all the way down. The rear bumper sticks out so far it's nearly impossible to reach in unless you're 6'8". Add all of that to a poorly laid out nav and stereo system, the whole package is a disaster in design and a prime example of how NOT to build a vehicle. Politely decline if your rental company offers you an Armada and definitely RUN if a car dealer tries to sell you one.

Could be so much better.
At this price the doors should be so “tinny” when you open or close them. Bring your largest gas card; this thing is a fuel hog; 5 hours of highway driving +$50 refuel. No car should be without Apple car play, particularly at this price. Very smooth ride on smooth roads, almost limo like. Very jumpy on turns with any roughness in the road, not very poised. Cruise control radar is very twitchy, better to run with it off if possible; it can make the truck brake very far behind the car in front even with the setting set as close as possible. Seats are ok, they feel flat and hard after a few hours behind the wheel, the leather seems to hold onto any stain. Needs an optional roller shade over the rear deck.

Like it again and again
Price tag much affordable compare to other same class SUVs very comfy and reliable good power towed 6’ by 12’ trailer from Pennsylvania to Florida fully loaded with ease good gas mileage for 6000 lbs truck with 5.6 engine highly recommend
12 miles per galon
The worst financial decision made. I had the car for 3 months, and I consider I wait to long to sell it. The gas consumable was ridiculously abysmal. 250 miles per 26 galon was the most. I have a 2007 Nissan Armada also, and no comparison. Don’t make the mistake I did. There are other cars in the market. Costumer service, hotline, the worst ever. They don’t even know basic math, and I spoke to more than 2 representatives. Do all bad around. I bought a Suburban 2021 and it heaven compare with the Armada.

Aged like milk in an Arizona garage
I have owned my 2019 Armada SV for almost 2 years now. It's an ok car but not really worth what I paid for it. It doesn't have a lot of features that I could have gotten in a car half the price. Other people must agree with my low assessment because the resale value is atrocious making it impossible to unload now that I have seen it's true colors. First the good. It rides really nicely, the seats are big and comfy, the rear legroom is amazing. The car looks really nice from a distance. Lot's of v8 power on tap for anyone willing to drop the hammer. Now the bad: The cargo area is small even with 3rd row laid down and has a slant to it b/c 3rd row doesn't fold completely flat. With 3rd row up, the cargo hold is smaller than in some midsize suvs. The entertainment center is not intuitive and doesn't include either Apple Carplay or Android carplay. To make simple changes in BT phone connection, you must go through several menus. If you forget before you take off driving, it's very unsafe to change it because the steering wheel controls aren't good. For example, there are no buttons on the backside of the wheel, everything is the face. The volume is a weird open toggle switch which I am surpised no one has accidentally spilled something into yet. There are separate buttons for dash display updates and entertainment center updates and no speed display on dash gauges despite there being a digital info center, I have a 2015 Dodge Journey and it has a digital speedo but this car that costs 2x as much doesn't have one. The paint is coming off of front edge of hood in tiny chips and a rust spot appeared on the rear hatch (I live in south Central US far from oceans or much roadsalt). The chrome can be permanently marred by simple bug strikes which means that if you own it long enough all the chrome in the grille area is going to have weird splattery effect to it. The wheels are an odd size making tire options harder to find and expensive. NissanConnect can't remote start or roll windows down unless you have a higher-end model. Also it's a $12-$24/month for the service. The collision sensors intermittently chirp for no reason but the dealer can never replicate it. The cruise automatically drops the speed 5-10 mph when going around even the slightest curves and will overbrake on hills and under accelerate on hills which causes the car to be accelerating and braking constantly even on interstates. I had someone driving with me in a convoy and they asked me to stop using it b/c they had to keep braking and accelerating nonstop to keep a decent distance behind me. The resale value is terrible. Dropped 25% in less than a year. It's probably 50% lower at this point and I bought it 2 years old with 40,000 miles which should have absorbed a lot of the depreciation. 2 years and 25,000 miles later, it's worth about as much as a toyota Camry with the same mileage and age despite Some of these problems don't exist with a newer Armada since they now have Carplay. Also it's possible that the remote start feature is now available at lower trim levels. So if you are looking for an Armada, I would skip the 2019 for sure.
