5 reasons to buy the 2014 Nissan Armada

1. Capable V8 performance 

Under the hood of every 2014 Nissan Armada is a 317-hp 5.7L V8 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Plus, the 2014 Nissan Armada SL and Platinum trims include 4WD that can automatically switch between 2WD and 4WD based on road and weather conditions. The 2014 Nissan Armada 4WD can tow up to an estimated 9,000 pounds when properly equipped. 

2. Functional interior 

Whether packing in the gear for your next adventure or bringing along the whole crew, the 2014 Nissan Armada flexes to take on everyday life. For example, accessing the second-row seats is more accessible thanks to large door openings, making loading rear-facing child seats into the LATCH-equipped outboard seats a breeze. Plus, there are plenty of storage pockets and cubbies throughout the interior. 

3. Available luxurious touches 

If you’re looking for a luxurious interior in your next family hauler, find a 2014 Nissan Armada Platinum with the Platinum Reserve package. As the name suggests, you’ll enjoy exclusive luxury features like natural wood trim and accents, upgraded carpeting, two-tone stitched leather seating, and visual upgrades. Or, enjoy the immersive high-fidelity sound of the 11-speaker Bose® sound system. 

4. Comfortable seats 

Supportive and well-cushioned seats in the 2014 Nissan Armada deliver comfort even on prolonged trips. Additionally, the standard bench second-row seats have basic adjustments like recline and position. Plus, if you look for a 2014 Nissan Armada Platinum with the Platinum Captain’s Chairs package, the second-row bench is replaced by two Captain’s chairs and a center console, reducing the passenger capacity to seven but upgrading the passenger experience. 

5. Well-equipped even at the base trim 

Even the standard 2014 Nissan Armada SV boasts robust comfort and functionality features. For example, standard comfort includes dual-zone automatic climate control, rear climate control, power-adjustable front seats, and power-adjustable pedals. Plus, functional equipment like rear parking sensors, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a USB charge port enhance the day-to-day experience.

Ratings & reliability

Customer ratings

The 2014 Nissan Armada boasts strong V8 performance with smooth handling and acceleration, making it a capable choice for towing and weather versatility. Its spacious and comfortable interior accommodates families well, yet sacrifices cargo capacity in third-row mode. User-friendly technology adds appeal, but fuel economy and occasional cabin noise remain significant drawbacks.
