At a Glance: 2007 Armada

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. 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.

The 2007 Armada receives only minor refinements, 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.
