2010 Nissan Armada
The 2010 Nissan Armada ranks 9 out of 10 Affordable Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 47 published reviews and test drives of the Nissan Armada, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The Nissan Armada offers buyers plenty of power and rugged capability, but not enough to make it a standout in this competitive class.
Despite the fact that it’s not the least expensive SUV in the class, the Nissan Armada is a good value for its size and capabilities. With seating for up to eight, and a 317 horsepower V8 engine, there’s a lot for buyers who need a capable SUV to like. Plus, if you opt for the Armada’s top-of-the-line Platinum trim, it becomes a near-luxury SUV for less than what you’d pay for its luxury nameplate cousin, the Infiniti QX56
However, while the Armada is an able performer, it loses points for predicted reliability score that isn’t as strong as others in the class. What may be worse for the Armada in the minds of most buyers is its fuel economy: the Armada has some of the worst fuel economy in the class, making it a tough sell. Still, given the soft new car market, buyers who like the Armada may be able to save enough money at the dealership to keep the Armada gassed up for a while.
