The 2022 Nissan Armada is Tough and True, but Tired Too (POV Drive Review)

[@LeftenantMalachi]

When my car was in the shop, I got an Armada as a loaner car and LOVED IT! You are right, that V8 sounds and performs so well. I was really surprised how quick it was. My dream SUV would be a new Armada Platinum.

[@methreacts6364]

My dad owned a 2012 Armada and kept it for 8 years. I loved it, it had a nice interior and great sound. I know this is not the same year, but Armadas are always the best.

[@andymorris2920]

We have a 2021 Armada platinum and we love it. 17k miles so far and no issues. Nissan quality all day!

[@MAKII724]

Armadas are still made in Japan is the key to reliability. Proud your still going at it with your Armada.

[@TRX25EX]

We have 3 Patrols (which is Armada but with offroad capabilities) over the last 7 years and so far each of them have issues, infact nowadays BMW X7 is more reliable, no wonder Nissan now mid table in JDPower reliability list

[@alh06]

@@TRX25EX JD Power isn’t a reliable source for reliability information (kind of ironic). But the Armadas are made in Japan and are the last really reliable Nissans. The X7 is not more reliable.

[@TRX25EX]

@@alh06 I said we have 3, I trust your words or a word of JD Power + my family experience with the car? The seat itself is coming out of it's place that's how bad its! Doesn't mean "Oh it's made in Japan" means automatically it's more reliable, you living in the past! New cars already proven to be more reliable and BMW G platform introduced Quality control that made it alot more reliable similar to Porsche in 2015 which made 911 more reliable now than Corolla lol

[@alh06]

@@TRX25EX There’s a difference between quality control and long term reliability.

[@andystevo7]

i think this car is in my best 2022 SUV collection

[@MrMaz111]

This is the only SUV that doesn't have start stop feature a turbo or cylinder deactivation. that makes it a winner in my opinion.

Excellent POV review on the Armada. Thanks MPH!

[@2fast2krosss012]

well in middle east the armada is called patrol and its sooooo cozy that you feel like your sitting on a cloud

[@michaelkirk2]

We were in a position to rent a Armada for a week. Yes the road noise and surrounding noise is pretty low. We have quite a few thunderstorms here in Florida. I noticed the noise from the rain hitting the roof was louder than our MDX. Besides that, it’s a pretty nice SUV.

[@oriondoublecrossed]

Its made out of steel.

[@Lamusicainfinita]

Iown a Patrol V6 2023 model and i couldn't be more happy with it. Nice video though

[@anthonymurphy2449]

Now see, THIS is my kinda car! :-D That engine is reminiscent of the old 4.6 in the old Crown Vics. Just a lot heavier and quicker on the 0-60.

[@paladin3116]

That steering wheel was out of the left over parts bin from 2007

[@toronado455]

as is the rest of the vehicle

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

HUGE fan of Nissan's VQ series engines.

[@MsCeeCee2729]

I owned the 2018 Armada Platinum, I loved the size and ride but about 6 months later I had a problem with the gas tank… all Nissan did was give me the run around, I traded it in for the Lexus 460!!! Now that’s a nice riding vehicle…Note to Nissan…as I read the reviews on the gas tank problem it was ongoing for many Armada customers! Just fix the problem and stop running your customers to buy something else!!

[@hamood_.0690]

The problem has been resolved and the entire refrigeration and air conditioning circuit has been changed for 2021 and above 👍🏻

you can also tune it for 450 hp, im looking to do it for my nissan patrol (infiniti qx80)

[@marcusj4467]

Great to see the handling/corner test as that is the biggest reason I would look at a QX80 with hydraulic body motion control instead. I’m looking at these two or used LX570 for big highway mountain pass road trips and as a ski vehicle in Canada. Thanks

[@MaximumDIYGarage]

What did you end up getting? How about a Sequoia?

[@joelschwartz7909]

Great Review

[@MilesPerHr]

[@davidpuia2564]

Hey man I’m not calling you out but you missed a secret compartment in the back seat so that arm rest in the back seat if you look on the bottom of it where you saw the all the plug ins behind the passenger seats there is a compartment you can get in.

[@MilesPerHr]

Good call - yep!

[@grandandroid6283]

Sounds like a great car

[@crazyone1067]

To all the comments about price, gas mileage, and so forth. If you're not writing a check for this vehicle you shouldn't buy it. End of story.

[@alririvers4900]

For whatever reason, the engine in our 2022 Platinum idles up occasionally and then stops. It has a little over 1000 miles on it. Any thoughts?

[@briandaniel5091]

My 2020 Titan with the same engine did that all the time. Never looked into it.
