2007 Nissan Armada - Built For On-Road Family Utility, Ready For Off-Road Family Adventure
Nissan's award-winning Armada continues in 2007 to be the family SUV for utility and adventure. Thanks to features like three-row, eight-passenger seating, roof-mounted curtain air bags for all three rows and up to 9,100-pound maximum towing capacity, the Armada was awarded the top honors in two customer opinion-based studies. 2007 Nissan Armada finished first in buyer-perceived overall quality by the Strategic Vision research firm in the Large SUV class of its 2006 Total Quality Index, as well as being named the "Most Appealing Large Premium Multi-Activity Vehicle" by J.D. Power and Associates' 2006 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study.
2007 Nissan Armada receives only minor refinements from the 2006 model, including engine enhancements that allow for better air intake, resulting in an increase to 317 horsepower from 305 horsepower and the addition of Flexible Fuel Vehicle technology (FFV), allowing drivers to use traditional gasoline or an alternative fuel such as E85, a mix containing 85 percent renewable ethanol and 15 percent gasoline.
2007 Nissan Armada, as a Flexible Fuel Vehicle, is equipped with a common fuel tank designed to run on varying blends of gasoline with ethanol or other fuel. Ethanol is a renewable, environmentally friendly fuel that reduces CO2 greenhouse gas, and Nissan's and others' expansion of such technology into the U.S. market could play a key role in the long-term U.S. energy strategy.
"Armada has always been about choice," said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. "Its utility offers a choice between secure, comfortable seating for eight or up to ten feet in storage length; its performance offers the choice of comfortably driving city roads to kids' soccer practice or off-roading to a secluded camp site; and now Flexible Fuel Vehicle technology offers drivers the choice to be environmentally conscious."
Distinguishing Exterior Character of 2007 Nissan Armada
2007 Nissan Armada offers a distinctive image, led by its advanced design concept. The combination of a long wheelbase and manageable overall length gives the Armada enhanced stability and handling, and a longer interior with plenty of cargo room - yet short front and rear overhangs for good maneuverability.
2007 Nissan Armada design starts with its wide stance, with the body gesture following from the tire sidewalls up. The headlights are straightforward but powerful, the hood bold yet refined. The sheer A-pillar design calls attention to the tight, tailored precision of the upper body with the B-, C- and D-pillars adding to the highly polished feel of the body structure. The tailgate has a reinforced look and the sturdy bumpers project the Armada's structural integrity and reliability.
Other exterior features of 2007 Nissan Armada include a standard body-color grille (SE model, chrome grille on LE model) and chrome front door handles, dual power-adjustable heated chrome side mirrors (with power folding, auto dimming and integrated turn signal on LE models), standard running boards, privacy glass for the 2nd and 3rd rows and available power rear lift gate, manual flip-out rear quarter windows (power-operated on LE models) and halogen headlights. All models are also offered with a standard rear proximity sensor system (back-up obstacle warning) in the rear bumper.
