Nissan Armada
A full-size body-on-frame SUV with a very large front grille built from thick vertical bars, wide rectangular headlights, a long boxy body, chunky fender flares.
About this design
The Armada dwarfs every other Nissan SUV on the road: a longer hood, taller doors, and a grille opening wide enough to swallow the one on the smaller Pathfinder parked beside it. Those dimensions come from sharing its underpinnings with Nissan's full-size Titan pickup rather than a car-based crossover platform. Where a compact crossover trades size for fuel economy and tight parking, the Armada leans hard into cargo room, towing muscle, and interior space for a full family plus gear.
Nissan introduced the Armada for the 2004 model year, aiming the truck-based SUV directly at the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition.
