Looking for a vehicle that can tackle the trails, but also handle an urban family outing? Look no further — the 2022 Nissan Armada is fit for the job. The full-size, 3-row SUV is Nissan’s largest and most capable vehicle, while still remaining a value choice to competitors. Featuring a standard V8 engine and old-school body-on-frame architecture, the Armada boasts best-in-class features without breaking the bank. 

The Armada was refreshed in 2021 with technology upgrades, exterior styling tweaks, and a healthy boost in horsepower and torque. For its 2022 rendition, the Armada remains largely unchanged.

The 2022 Nissan Armada is available in four trims – S, SV, SL, and Platinum – along with 2WD and 4WD configurations.

The MSRP for the 2022 Armada is listed below, including a $1,495 destination fee. Rear-wheel drive is standard in each trim, and four-wheel drive is optional for an additional $3,000.

S: $50,395 
SV: $53,995
SL: $57,395
Platinum: $66,395

Three packages are offered on the Armada: Appearance (SV) for $2,500, Midnight Edition (SL) for $1,990, and Captain’s Chairs (SL, Platinum) for $650. 

The base model Armada S gives drivers a good bang for their buck. Voted the “Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own SUV” in 2021 by Kelley Blue Book, the Armada provides a good entry into the full-size SUV market without sacrificing budget. It also shares key components with the luxury Infiniti QX80, which is built on the same platform and shares the same parent company. For example, the two vehicles both come standard with a powerful 5.6-liter V8 engine, similar cargo volumes, and a comparable list of safety features. The main difference — the Armada’s starting price is over $20k less than the QX80. 

Starting at an attractive MSRP of $50,395 (including destination fee), the Armada rivals competitors such as the Ford Expedition and Jeep Wagoneer with its rugged good looks, high-quality interior, legit off-roading capabilities, and competitive towing capacity.
