2024 Nissan Armada SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with seating capacity of up to eight people. It's offered three trim levels: 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. Keep reading for our rundown of the Armada's significant features and options.

SV
The Armada SV is 2024's entry model, and it comes very well equipped:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels

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

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Armada and the car in front)
  • 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)

SL
Choose the Armada SL and your SUV includes:

  • Trailer sway damping (adjusts vehicle brakes to help control trailer movement if a trailer begins to sway)
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Remote engine start
  • Leather seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Sunroof
  • 120-volt household-style power outlet
  • 13-speaker Bose premium sound system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Armada and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Power liftgate

A Midnight Edition package is available with SL trim. It equips the SUV with:

  • Black exterior and interior trim
  • LED taillights
  • Black leather seats
  • Black headliner
  • Special floor mats and cargo mat

Platinum
This is the top-of-the-line Armada equipped with:

  • 22-inch alloy wheels
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Wiper de-icer system
  • Quilted leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated second-row seats
  • One-touch power-folding third-row seats
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Rear-seat entertainment system with two 8-inch display screens

Second-row captain's chairs are available for the Armada SL and Platinum in place of the standard bench seat.

Which Armada trim does Edmunds recommend?

Nissan dropping the base S trim has no impact on our recommendation for the Armada, and we still think the SL trim has the best blend of features and value. You'll get better-looking 20-inch wheels and LED foglights, plus leather upholstery with heated front seats, remote engine start, a 360-degree camera system and a 13-speaker Bose surround-sound setup.
