The 2018 Nissan Armada carries on with all of the updates made during last year's redesign. With an attractive appearance, upgraded cabin and enhanced horsepower, it continues to offer shoppers great value. Get more details below and browse new Armada models on our site. 

New updates have also been made for the 2018 model year to further improve the Armada's appeal. The standard 8-inch touchscreen that's featured on all models now includes the newest version of NissanConnect, enhanced voice recognition technology, hands-free text messaging assistant, HD radio, SiriusXM Travel Link with three years of trial access and additional USB ports.

In addition, you can find the all-new 2018 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve for sale in the Phoenix area. The new trim level debuts for 2018 with plenty of special features, including 20-inch Dark Chrome wheels, Dark Chrome exterior trim, Black Quartz and wood tone interior trim, and leather seats with an eye-catching two-tone design.

The last big update for the 2018 Armada is the release of Nissan's new Intelligent Rear View Mirror. With an LCD screen that's embedded in the rearview mirror, I-RVM shows backup camera footage to provide clear rearward visibility that's unobstructed by cargo or passengers.

2018 Nissan Armada Models & Amenities

Armada is offered in four trim levels: Armada SV, Armada SL, Armada Platinum and the new Armada Platinum Reserve. Many 2018 Nissan Armada reviews say the SUV is very well-equipped, and this is true even for the base trim.

All models offer room for eight passengers and standard features such as an auto-dimming rearview mirror, backup camera, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone and Audio, a Bose audio system, satellite radio, the Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and heated front seats--all in addition to the 8-inch touchscreen with hands-free texting and NissanConnect that we mentioned earlier.

If you choose the Armada SL, you'll get even more premium features, including an Intelligent Around View Monitor, power liftgate, remote engine start and leather seats.

The Platinum and Platinum Reserve offer the pinnacle of luxury with all of the aforementioned features plus additional amenities like a dual-screen rear entertainment system with a DVD player and heated/cooled front seats.
