Badging the car as Armada cheapens the value of this car.
Here in Middle East(Qatar) a fully loaded patrol goes for about $80k while the last gen Armada is sold side by side for about $55k. The original Armada being the Sequoia's competitor, this new one should have been redesigned accordingly for that segment.
The Patrol competes directly against the Land Cruiser and is the flagship of Nissan. Add to this the fact that it has a rich heritage. It should be given its own name and segment.
There's no heritage for the "Patrol" name in the US. I guess that's why
They Infiniti QX80 is based off of the patrol (I think) being the full flesh 80k patrol. This car has more of the patrol look but I would assume they don't want to make a direct competitor to the Infiniti from Nissan itself
Its sad to see it with an Armada badge. Hope they bring the same Platinum model from Middle east to USA
Absolutely.....
To me it looks like they designed this model for the American market, compared to the previous models of the Patrol I personally find this pretty darn FUGLY. they made it look fat. I much prefer the previous model design more similar to the Land Cruiser.
This is called PATROL NISSAN here in Saudi Arabia, it is popular since 2010, I've just bought a new one "Gold" color 2016, page interior 400 HP, no changes since 2010 except one extra fan to cool the radiator . It is so powerful and comfortable to ride. Since of a King riding the most powerful hours in the world. Best choice for anyone can afford it. Pay it don't hesitate.
The new Patrol "Nismo" Nissan 2017 is similar but with 425 HP and beautiful accessories.
Patrol around the world. I think names should be the same everywhere in the world.
I'm an Aussie. I drive a Patrol. When I went to school, the "Armada" was a misconcieved Spanish nautical failure. What are the marketers thinking? The truck is a Nissan Patrol. Don't call it anything else.
Well Mr "MotoMan" there's the option for the center console at the 2nd row.
I think armada is a good idea for several reasons. Most importantly for nissan is that the Armada was in production for over a decade thus a lot of SUV buyers probably either considered owning one, owned one, or at least saw them around. When the armada first came out in 04 they called it the pathfinder armada solely for the reason of name recognition since the armada name was completely new. Additionally the Patrol has decades of history and rugged heritage. It is a legend, an icon in many countries around the world. It has this reputation with good reason. Nissan has built these extremely well with quality control being at the higher levels than their normal cars. The patrol is a true off road go anywhere and not anywhere like on a trail at your local national park like an average 4x4 expedition. Like really anywhere front and rear locking diffs being able to cross deep rivers ect. The point I am getting at is that the armada is not a real patrol under the skin. It has the same engine and trans which is good because those will last forever. But they don't have the locking diffs a lot of the beefed up components that make the patrol is great. The patrol name is an icon and you can't just slap it on a nissan badged QX80 or 56 whatever you want to call it just because they share the same body and engine and whatever else they share. Its like the m3 name you can't just get a 328i add the new m3 engine and dct for another country and call it an m3 while leaving out all the components that make the m3 so great...you would say an M3 without the M3 suspension/exhaust isn't a REAL m3...same holds here in my opinion. The patrol and the land cruiser (at least where I was born in santa cruz) are the cream of the crop most desirable car you can have. Like in the US maybe a dream car would be a ferrari bentley rolls or whatever that is the level that these trucks are viewed in many countries overseas. Fully equipped brand new models of these 2 trucks can easily set you back close to 200k usd and they sell very well for our market standards. You see them everywhere granted not all of them are new models most are ancient mid 80s early 2000s but the point thats that these trucks are legends and known for their capabilities. They are also a symbol for success if you have a newer one.
I am 21... born and raised in bolivia but have been living in the US for the past 10 years
Final thought: Any nissan SUV without locking diffs is no patrol.
I've had Platinum 4x4 for about 5 weeks now. Test drove the 2017 Denali & Tahoes... This Armada feels like a beast compared to them. It's so much better ride and no vibrations (like on the 1st 2 New Denalis I drove). I've taken it on 2 ski trips up to 10,000 ft peak and it performed great. I don't care if this frame, blah blah blah is 10 years old and the inside is from the QX80 blah blah blah... The tech works great even though it doesn't have apple car play. This thing is really cool- you pay less and get more in my opinion.
Test drive a land cruiser it's better than armada no joke
@@Word-Life land cruiser does have 3rd row seat and you can afford 5 or 8 years old lc it's still in good condition after 10 years
I absolutely love this thing and I can't wait to buy one a year from now. I've been waiting patiently forever for Nissan to bring a good looking version of this platform to the US.
In the USA here. I never heard of a Patrol until a week ago when I began considering a 2017 Armada. Now that I have learned of its heritage, I do think it would be a good idea to offer a Patrol package here in the USA, which includes all of the off-road goodies that the Patrol gets. It would be great competition for Land Rover and Jeep.
I agree with this. Rear locker at a minimum. Currently own an Xterra Pro4x. This unit is on my short list.
Unfortunately for you guys in the US you seem to get a fairly basic model regarding the off road capability but with lots of comforts. In the case of the LandCruiser you get a mid range version where as in Australia where these two vehicles were designed for originally we get 4 model variants the top being the Sahara. Having said that in the case of the latest model of the LC the basic model is quite a ripoff with the lack of inclusions, its not usually so sparse, a Ford Falcon had more inclusions in 1995.
True; however the fact is that probably 99% of US buyers (me included) would never take our version (Amada or QX80) off-road, so the extra money spent on those features is wasted. This is especially true for what would be such an expensive vehicle. With Jeep Wranglers that is not much of a concern.
Having said that, however, it would be nice if Nissan offered the off-road goodies as an option ... would still be wasted money for the most part but, you know, it makes the guys feel better that they COULD off-road it!
Bob S So the fact that almost all Land Rovers have those features is a waste? How about a trim level such as the Pro4x to keep in line with tradition?
No, not a waste if the features are actually used. Personally I like all these trim levels and features. But lets face reality, if those features are never used, its money wasted - except for the value of the feeling it may give you to just have the features.
When they first announced this, I was expecting something similar to the Nissan Titan in terms of design. Looks like they just rebadged a QX80/Patrol and called it a day
Don't expect much from Nissan North America/USA these days
Elaborate?
Nissan decided to not use the same platform as the Titan and build this Armada generation in Japan, compared to the 1st gen that was built in Tennessee.
A patrol package with the off-road package in the real patrol (a terrain selector + rear diff-lock) would be nice, but I still would prefer if it was called the Patrol.
Greetings from Saudi Arabia where there is a Patrol in every street.
The name ARMADA already has a good reputation with typical household families in the U.S. The new "ARMADA" is sealing at the state as a family road trip suv and hoping not to be confused with the rugged Y61 patrol which is still in production
it’s actually a Y62 and the safari is the Y61
@@mohammedalshehri3114 that’s way I said rugged
All they did was slap those awful extended wheel arches on & swap out the badges.
The Patrol have a rich heritage and the Armada have a short history of questionable reliability. Patrol > Armada.
Sometimes I don't understand those marketing people.
On the upside, at least you get a black interior option lol
Let's just say, when I chatted with the marketing folks on this trip, I was rather clear about our thoughts on this matter . . .
Yessir
except for one little problem I don't think, with all due respect, you guys are thinking about : buyer recognition. in America, no one knows what a Patrol is. they know what an Armada is, and interesting enough, most people out there still praise the first generation Armada overall. Nissan had this fact to contend with when they decided to go this route, even though it was rumored that originally they were going to do an American Armada off the new Titan. The simple fact is Nissan has to think about sales. And if they called this Patrol, it would just raise a lot of question marks in the American buyers minds. Armada was just simply the best name for Nissan's full-size SUV in America.
Thanks for the video MotoMan , this is definitely a Nissan Patrol we call it the hero of all terrain in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Well what I think from my point of view is that Armada is a name plate that's already exists in the U.S and Patrol is not. So it's easy for Nissan to market this as a an All new Armada for the whole majority of people who don't know a Patrol. Well I know that there are people know patrol and those are view like you and other car enthusiasts but the majority of household buyers they will pick a new handsome Armada.
I guess the Patrol name does fit this car better. In the Middle East (Lebanon), it is sold as Patrol. The Armada is just a 7 seater that competes with the GMC Yukon or Terrain and not the Toyota Land Cruiser. The main competitive of the Land Cruiser is the Patrol not the Armada nor any other American or European SUV. Imagine Toyota letting go of the Land Cruiser name and using Sequoia instead. The heritage that comes with the Patrol and the Land Cruiser is just too huge to overlook. This is a mistake, Nissan, it is a wrong marketing strategy.
I'm in Canada, and I think the name Armada makes sense from a marketing standpoint. Most people don't know, or care about the history of the car or how it's called patrol in the rest of the world. Everyone knows the Armada, so it makes sense to keep calling it that here.
We have this car in middle east as Petrol. I don't know why they change the name at USA. The Armada we use to have here was something different, but they stopped importing it in the end of 2015.
We bought a 2019 Nissan Armada SV (with tow package and power lift gate) three weeks ago, in Missouri, in the U. S. of A. Five or six times a year we haul seven or eight people. Four or five times a year we pull a 6,000 lb boat and trailer. We had, previous to this, a 2015 Armada. The inside of the older Armada was FAR superior to the new Armada for several reasons. 1. Rear seat climate control. 2. Third row seating comfort was WAY roomier. 3. The cup holders were varied in size and held the cups more firmly. 4. The second row seat was wider. 5. Without the trailer, the acceleration seem very close. 6. There is WAY less useable storage room when the third row seat is up. The new Armada interior is 1. WAY more elegant. 2. Te exhaust note sounds WAY better. 3. Has navigation (that is not up to date compared to our Garmin or our iPhone maps.) 4. Has HD radio and a better station preset system (but the 'tone' changing controls are not as good.) So the while the NEW Armada may sound better, look better, and have more toys to play with, and is more elegant for four passengers ---> if you drive long distances, haul more than four adults the older Armada might be better. The new Armada should be called the PATROL. It would be nice if Nissan would shorten the hood of the new Patrol to give the passengers and luggage more room. THEN they could call it an ARMADA.
I am from Saudi Arabia, and this vehicle existed in all GCC countries since 2010 with the Patrol name. And yes, I think it should be called Patrol in the US too.
Lol the patrol sold a lot here in Kuwait, one of the most popular cars on the street.
Big D that does't make sense but ok.
zain a79l Kuwaiti mswi subscribe 7a8 motoman^^ ya a5i 7ram swo bl armada chethi mshro3 patrol f8ara
sabufinisher hahaha e wallah
IKR. Its more popular and respected than the Land cruiser here in Dubai. :)
Joe Summer Lol a couple of years ago that was the case here but not anymore.
Bet they are calling t Armada for I bet they will have more domestic buyers in the US than international buyers in the US.
Also, hasnt the same model of Armada in terms of brand recondition been out for 15 years? (other than refresh/diffrent packages)
If they bring this thing to the UK I want to it to be called the Patrol, if u go to Dubai there r soo many patrols, that's how I fell in love with them
so much more QX80 DNA in this. the rear and front are clearly inspired by the QX80 but where you see the most similarities is the interior it looks so much like the QX80
im from UAE , and this is a NISSAN PATROL because i OWN ONE
class act by the presenter. awesome video keep up the good work!
Maybe they are saving the Patrol name in the US market for a Xterra replacement that will be more like a y60 or y61 Patrol with solid axles and all the other hard-core off-road goodies associated with those versions.
Man I hope so!!!!
I have a hardtop 2016 one, problem is it has two engines, but we have here in the GCC is only TB48DE 4.8L inline-6, DOHC, VTC. Not sure if they would approve that in the US. A 4.0L V6 for your market is more likely to be the case.
Bo_Hazem I would like to see the 4.8 in the States one day
The Patrol y62 is selling quite slow here in Brisbane Australia. I am in love with this car! SO MUCH IN LOVE! But, petrol prices here in Brisbane suck. The Patrol y62 would sell much better in Aus if it were a Diesel engine. I will wait for the day a diesel engine comes out. In response to your poll i do agree that Patrol is much suited to this beautiful beast
This suv is amazing and very capable and reliable...
Stop with the multi part reviews
It's a patrol with a newer engine and a face-lift, I prefer the middle east edition of the nissan patrol. I have the 2014 patrol SE with 318 he and 520 nm of torque, the armada's engine's torque comes at really high 4000 rpm is a joy killer in acceleration and off road situations.
MotoMan would you choose this over the toyota landcruiser ? Also wondering about your thoughts and if you ever plan on reviewing the new ford explorer.
Nissan should let customers pick which badge they want on their truck at the dealers. Armada or Patrol? I'd totally swap the Armada badge for a Patrol if I were to get this.
I agree the Armada should be renamed Patrol. Why? Because it's a Patrol. The Armada was build in Canton,Miss. I work at the Nissan Smyrna plant and had said the same to my coworkers for months. I say PATROL!!! I HOPE Nissan North America listens!!!
I completely agree that is should be badged as a Patrol. My reason is that the Patrol has a legendary name and until recently I didn't know that the Armada was simply the rebadged legendary off road vehicle, that I was always a little sore we couldn't get here in the states,and never considered it anything more than a soccer mom car. Now I am super excited about the possibility of obtaining one of these amazing machines. When considering what to get next I wanted a SUV but was limited to the 4 runner as the only "real" off road option but didn't want the small 6 cylinder. Now, however I am almost ready to trade in the old Titan and replace it with one of these. Also, I am going to try to find a Patrol badge from the other side of the world and rebadge it myself. May be dumb but it will make me smile
Yes completely agree with you. In the UAE the armada was a different SUV this is a patrol.
I wanted a patrol badge and ill definitely buy one..
Yes it should be called Patrol, but I think NIssan opted to stick with Armada because it sound more expensive than the workings man/ humanitarian action Patrol. Having said that Armada or Patrol - if I was you I would not care, I would rather be happy that Nissan is offering this configuration with your local dealer, unlike the entire Europe that has gone completely small SUV - loosing both the Patrol and Pathfinder in one go. So it is back to the land Cruiser and MB -G class for us in Europe. Regards from Sarajevo, Bosnia. P.S. Nice first look - loved the down to the important things attitude.
Got a 2016 Nissan Patrol Platinum, bought it less than a week ago, Saudi Arabia
Man I want it so bad..but I remember gas prices going as high as $5 a gallon in California and $3-4 in other states...i lived in both during the time....How big is the gas tank and what's the MPG?
We don't see many of these style Patrols in Australia. The Toyota Land Cruiser is far more popular, even though it costs so much more. But I prefer the name Patrol.
yes it should be name patrol, I had one 1996 patrol Diesel sd-L 2 doors it was a monster SUV I don't know why they don't sale it in the US
Where's part 1 of 5?
+Down Gaming We are doing a five part series of Nissan Trucks - includes the usual TR & FDR of this as well as the new Titan Half Ton. Part One was the world debut of the Titan Half Tom Single Cab ruclips.net/video/RBJkzeZunqg/видео.html
It's kinda confusing, I was expecting a five part review of the Nissan Armada.
As much as I love the Patrol . . . even I couldn't make that happen . . . :) Maybe a road trip series in the middle east with a NISMO Patrol . . .
No hbmc for murica, looks like the esserntial feature that makes this car so darn good in comparison with LC 200 is just torn away in the sake of pricing
also: where is r diff lock and 4 offroading modes ghuys?
I like the patrol package idea, it should come with patrol badging and more off road capabilities. they could fashion in patrol embroidered seats with blue piping, panoramic sun roof, heat and cooled captain chairs for rear passengers. ok, I went off topic but I think yes it should be named patrol because it's sounds like it has muscles 💪 armada sounds soft and pillow like a cuv.
Drove a Tahoe yesterday... it felt like a dolled up version of the suburban we had back in the 90's. I like the sportiness of my 4runner, but it's just a tad small for my growing family. If I do get an Armada, I'll be swapping the badge to PATROL asap! :D
"Responsible human being with a family in Colorado". What about a responsible human being with a family in Illinois. Would you still rock it?
Beautiful review, love the info.
I completely agree with this guy it should be called a PATROL!
I don't understand Nissan's reasoning for using the name Armada on this SUV. The name Armada doesn't have a lot brand equity in the US -- it hasn't been used for very long, they haven't sold many, and they don't have a very loyal following.
They really should call it the Nissan Patrol here in the US.
Looks hot
Of course should be a Patrol, because of the heritage of what that name means. I´m from Guatemala, Central America. And I have the nissan patrol y61. And I always wonder why Nissan never took the patrol to the US market, even though Toyota Land Cruiser is in that market.
Best regards,
It's basically a patrol with less 10HP and an off-road kit
I like the idea of a patrol package, make it off road capable, air suspension, huge factory tires, tuned exhaust, two tone! I think America loves the Armada nameplate because that's what we were introduced to. I remember being young seeing the Armada for this 1st time & just shocked because I never saw 2nd door handles on the pillar, the armada was always like Nissan middle finger to a traditional square ish SUV & that's why I think they keep Armada because that's what USA associates Nissan big SUV with, next to the pathfinder, but remember the '04 armada, which had armada & pathfinder on the tailgate, although it was confusing, what if they did that, armada + patrol? It is confusing though! Much Aloha from your viewer here in Hawai'i
Totally agree with you about the Panoramic sunroof and the captain chair...Guess I'm waiting for 2018 if they decide to add those options.
And YES it should say PATROL not Armada!!
I completely agree with Motoman that Patrol should be the name. But I had a better idea to keep the marketing bosses at Nissan also happy, name it "Armada-Patrol" or "Patrol-Armada' , both names evoke a sense of something strong and powerful.
MotoMan please start the petition I will sign it, and also buy this rig when like Motoman I too become a responsible family man :).
Nissan would never change the name from Armada to patrol because the name Patrol originated from the Middle East so in that part of the world the name Patrol is traditional. But in my opinion, yes they should change their name to Patrol.
I am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and we have this as Nissan Patrol
i dont think the US market needs Nissan patrols, and i dont think they will be rebadging it to a patrol because the armada is there to compete with Toyota sequoia.
nissan armada lacks many features from the patrol.
Patrol for the 4WD version used by MEN, Armada maybe best described as a MOM's family hauler in 2wd version, but glammed up a bit for MOM..
Overall, I'm impressed about the new Nissan truck and SUV lineup for 2017, with exception of this model, like Toyota, contain more Made in USA components than most domestic Big 3 brands, NOW if they can sell them to the masses in numbers... !
Got to be a Patrol., cheers from North America!
MotoMan it would be nice if you coudl detail the differences between the QX80 and the 2017 Armada/Patrol. Also in your opinion please relfect which is a better buy and if a consuemr is missing anyhting going with a Patro over the QX80 a.k.a 'The ugly squished Rhino' - that's what it looks like to me.
The big problem with the Armada and QX80 is that they don't get the same MPG as the Patrol does because the European standards are much much higher than standards in North America. Regardless though 14/15MPG in today's world is like the 4MPG that Hummers got in yesterday's world.
The all-new, sixth generation, Y62 series Nissan Patrol was launched on 13 February 2010 at a VIP event in Abu Dhabi.[8] A luxury version (Z62) was sold as the Infiniti QX56
from 2010, which was later renamed the Infiniti QX80 in 2013. The Y62
was introduced in North America under the Armada nameplate in 2016, for
the 2017 model year. It was presented at the 2016 Chicago auto show to
the US market as a replacement for the Nissan Armada (WA60).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Patrol
Patrol....yeah....But why is that rear bumper jutting out so much?
It is Indeed a patrol.... There should be a Patrol Badge
Hi MotoMan. I would like to see Patrol instead of Armada. The reason is personal. There is a story from my childhood. For almost 21 years I had the accident with my bicycle. Because I had transported some liquid milk product in the glass bottle with me, I had cut my leg deep and I was bleeding heavy. Fortunately it was happed near to the cargo railway station, where the workers have been unloading the pipes for the Yamal-Europe pipeline. There was some kind of chief of these workers with the
silver 5 doors Nissan Patrol. He has been called by the lady from the railway company to help me to get into the town (approximately 4km). So he offered me the ride to my hometown and also to the medical station as well. I am grateful for what he has done for me. So the name Patrol is always in my mind and means a lot for me.
Still a Patrol here in Australia. i think Armada is USA thing only
That should be called a Patrol. In Lebanon the Patrol and the Armada are two different vehicles.
Is it available as a 7seat? In the UK
Patrol, as that is the global nameplate, and armada screams memories of that giant behemoth of a predecessor that, honestly, made me gag if I thought about it.
I am not sure Patrol is the right way to go either, sounds police/military like too, which is not really representing this luxury SUV very well.
Really like the new look, more like the Infinity style.
So what is the new highway mileage with the upgraded engine?
From Canada...AKA the great white north eh.
We have no Infinity brand in New Zealand apart from the odd JDM import, leave this model as a Patrol, add more content to make a new upscale infinity BUT the change must be more than cosmetic.... more power or a power-train mod will be required to justify the money. just an opinion if not light on content....
Writing from the U.S.A. I know next to nothing about the Nissan Patrol. Is it a less fancy version of the Armada? If so, it might make sense for Nissan to continue to sell the Armada in the U.S. but introduce the less fancy version here under the Patrol badge.
Different horses for different courses. The "best" vehicle for rock crawling isn't necessarily the best for mud bogging isn't necessarily the best for camping trips with a wife and two kids. Is the Armada better for rock crawling than the Nissan Frontier PRO4X? If so, how much better? And just to give you a way to answer that I might understand, let's say you were to find a list of back country roads in the vicinity of Moab, Utah arranged from easy to difficult to more difficult to most difficult. Which of the two vehicles could be driven on how many more of those roads without mechanical damage of the kind that would prevent you from driving the rig back to town under its own power?
Where is the first part of the tech review? I only see part 2 and 3.
How much nissan patrol in the phila
What do you mean?
Armada is a stupid name. Isn't armada a large naval fleet as in the "spanish armada"? What's the connection?
im from Dubai the mecca of nissan patrols and im an owner of a nissan patrol 2018 platinum black on black with starlight roof. yeah lol in dubai nissan features are different.
and in dubai we also have a nissan patrol nismo edition its cool.
Nissan Armada aficionado? LoL!!!
Good one, Moto.
The only incredible SUV on the planet honestly and faithfully forever...l have a 2009 Nissan Armada platinum and I would love to get a 2017 Armada one day soon..because Chevy,Dodge,ford,toytoa doesn't have that incredible incredible machine the true meaning of definement in class luxury liability
I like to see the V6 Inline Turbo Diesel!
NISSAN PATROL
Should be called Patrol- I want to replace the family Grand Cherokee with this. That front end is soooo much bette than the Infiniti.
I heard on other reviews that its handling is sloppy. Is that true?
Sloppy? No. However it does indeed drive like a body on frame truck. I feel that a lot of people buy these and 4Runners expecting a crossover and are shocked that they drive like trucks . . .
YOU GUYS DONT HAVE THE AFFORDABLE LAND CRUISER IN US , IT STARTS AT 83000 , SO JUST GET THIS OFF ROAD SUV BETTER THAN YUKON , TAHOE N EXPLORER.
I totally agree with you MotoMan when it comes to the name change. i'm a Huge fan of Japanese' cars, and i'm talking about the real stuff they have in japan, not the North-American crap you see running around here, so when they bring over a JDM/Global model to the states i really prefer it when it retains its original name plate, but in the case of this Nissan it's a simple fix just Debadge the Armada badge and buy the Patrol name plate off the internet and put it in it's place.
Dude this is a patrol i have one and its identical in every thing
E.U. based . This in my view should be Armada because here we had the previous model as Patrol & only with 2.8 & 3.0L diesel engines , if ever it's called Patrol in the US/Canada it should be a more Utilitarian Off Roadish Diesel version ... This in my view is far too luxury to be a Patrol & not sold in the EU anymore . Btw you summed up the other body on frame vehicles , if those were it i guess you don't have the ( outdated ) Mitsubishi Pajero or Shogun to be correct ...
Great SUV
Uhhhmmmm... How could you not mention the Land Cruiser as one of it's chief rivals ?
hell, yeah..this is a Patrol!!
i love your videos and you do an exellent job on your reviews, but why do you make so many movements with your hands?
what is the name of this man reviewing the car and what is his instagram
Here in Qatar.. Patrol LE has 400 bhp.. in USA 390
i really wish the new titan had this grill.
That rear bumper is going to destroy a bunch of stuff.
Patrol. Ireland says yes.
Good work!
I look forward to a armada vs Land Cruiser comparo. I think it should be patrol much cooler.
Nissan Armada should be named Nissan Patrol coz here in Qatar , Patrol is a pride for some and Armada can't stand a chance
What's the difference what they call it ,it's not going to change what it is,and what it is is really ugly outside but quite nice inside,and inside is where you spend your time in a vehicle,so screw the looks and the name and if you like the way it drives and are comfortable in it and it does what you need it to do,BUY it
your in Monterey County! enjoy the ash everywhere.
