Pros: The Nissan Armada is one of the largest SUVs on the market with premium seating for eight and is a very comfortable on- or off-road vehicle.
Cons: The body style and essentially the entire vehicle hasn’t really changed since its introduction as it’s still in its first generation. It’s in definite need of an update.
