Used 2023 Nissan Armada SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with seating capacity of up to eight people. It's offered four trim levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum trim. Each is equipped with a 5.6-liter V8 engine (400 horsepower, 413 lb-ft) mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission that powers the rear wheels, unless you opt for the four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing.

S
The base S trim includes these features:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Full-size spare tire
  • Tow hitch receiver with prewiring for a trailer brake controller
  • LED headlights

Additionally, the Nissan Armada S includes these driver assist technologies:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

  • Remote engine start
  • Leather seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Sunroof
  • 120-volt household-style power outlet
