@@SilverScarletSpider oh wow that is not very good it just tells you the fact that Jeeps are not the most reliable comparing to honda, toyota, lexus, or other brands.
It looks awfully nice, and I hope more people consider this as a serious option while shopping in this segment. However, I don’t think anyone will ever be able to take down the GM full-sized SUV triplets, they’ve ruled this segment since it was conceived and don’t look to be giving up that spot anytime soon. But more competitive vehicles like this Armada is good to have as an alternative!
This Armada is looking great. Historically the Armada has always felt like the awkward, lower-rent alternative to the Land Cruiser. However with the latest LC really dropping the ball, this Armada is now the choice option. Even moreso if it was called the Patrol - at this point a global icon unto itself.
@ArthurBenetton well now we got the baby lc, which no one but maybe jeep with the gc has an answer for. The big lc is now just lexus (granted it's still bad imo). But thr armada name plate is just known here while the patrol is not, and it's already a suffering vehicle
It looks very good. However I would either wait for the inevitable heavy discounts on the hood, or in a year or two a CPO with low mileage at 35-40% off msrp
It’s official Alex. The sequoia LX GX and Land Cruiser are history. They’re toast. They’re ostensibly and soon to be objectively been discontinued Nissan knocked it out of the park. They understood, researched, engineered, and executed miles better than Toyota will ever do for any model they have Well done Nissan. The armadas the new sequoia.

@ the other ones like the Tahoe Wagoneer expedition are strong rivals But the rivals i mentioned are nowhere near as competitive or as well rounded as the armada or any of the competition.

The 2025 Armada is going to sell very well compared to to many full size SUVs in this category. It’s going to be all about price. The Armada is also going to take some sales from Infiniti with QX80. The Armada is topping $82K in the Platinum reserve will the QX80 Tops $113K with options that many will not use. Averages family incomes in the US is somewhere around $50 -$75K. In my opinion the Armada does fit majority of wants for average families.
When was the last time u used the spare? I would much rather take storage space inside. Just buy a space saver and keep it on long road trips. Much more practical
This is miles better in every way over the Toyota competition. I drove the Sequoia and it was just terrible. It had terrible ride, a boring, cheapo interior, and almost no space behind the third row.
26:32 At least some general stores in the 19th century are known to have had brass tacks affixed to the counter for measuring yards of fabric or what-have-you. So when you were actually ready to make a purchase, the clerk would bring your item down to the brass tacks. But that's just one theory of the origin.
I’m checking out the new Tahoe but I have to say this new armada is really attractive. Similar performance as the 6.2 but only needs regular. Yes I’m buying a truck and I care about fuel economy coz regular is $4.50 in my area
Alex, While Nissan's Armada boldly sets sail with lower MSRP than the competition, it typically suffers Battle of Trafalgar levels of depreciation shortly thereafter. 😉I wonder if the people who buy these monster body-on-frame SUVs with rear wheel drive would be happier with a Country Squire, Buick Roadmaster, Colony Park or Caprice Estate. 🤔
I wonder when you were at your female vegetarian sensitivity training class and tea hour - you gals talked about towing ( which makes up the vast majority of this class of buyer ).. ???
We towed the travel trailer halfway across the country with our '21 Armada and then did some off-roading in places like Moab. An old-school station wagon wouldn't have worked.
like l the 7.5' cargo bay with the rear seats folded down , for car camping /oveland adventure wagon ,like shorter wheel base ,overall length .over the crew cabs and 6.5' box
The problem for the Nissan, if they are trying to take share from the Sequoia, which they are, is this engine is less powerful, and less fuel efficient than the Toyota hybrid. I think the vehicle itself is better, though

I am fortunately, and unfortunately, in the position of having to buy another car and I don't buy brand new. I try to go no older than a few years and certainly, no more than 35000 miles, and I was driving the previous generation ~2022 armada, and I just could not find a comfortable seating position and felt like I was sitting up too high. Like the seat needed to be able to go vertically down lower by a couple of inches. So instead, I went for more comfort, and I wanted at least a little, tiny bit of sportiness, that also gave me legit. 2 speed transfer case, 4 wheel, low... and towing capacity, that's at least something.....and so I'm going in the direction of a 2022 or so Jeep Cherokee L. .....Which doesn't really seem to be too much different than a dodge durango, except for nicer, more comfortable things?.... THOUGHTS?
My first impression of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer was that it was just plain...plain and somewhat ugly. The Wagoneer just looks old too. The Koreans are the ones who are being forward thinking in their designs.
All I want from car manufacturers is basic, reliable, long lasting design. Where in reality all of them are producing poorly made, plastic garbage with screens. Also I hope Nissan won't have trouble with this engine like Toyota does.
People who want a comfortable SUV that has off road, towing and people mover capability who don't trust GM, don't want Ford and can't afford a Toyota/Lexus.
I agree they are on the precipice. They have tarnished their reputation by selling subpar products for years and probably driven a lot of people into financial ruins. Not very many people can afford a 4-5k transmission bill on a financed car with other debt
How do you know this? This is a clean sheet design with a different engine and transmission from the old one. If anything, it should be as reliable as the current Land Cruiser (300 series).
@@damilolaakanni All true but the chassis hard points on the Y63 appear to be exactly the same as the Y62. No way Nissan developed a brand new platform from scratch…they couldn’t afford it.
I've owned a Tahoe. I currently own a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Overland model; I will take this new Armada, in Pro4x trim, hands down.

Absolute home run!!!
Can you use adaptive cruise without all the other propilot stuff? I love ACC, but always turn off lane keep assist when I can.
What i don't understand is that there are no sun screens on the rear doors but the Pathfinder has them. Makes no sense
Ya even the rogue gets them. Idk weird oversight
The transmission buttons are so tiny. I would need my readers to put it in park 😂
You could just press the start button and when you turn the car off it’ll automatically put itself in park
full sized spare - yay!!
When was the last time u used the spare? I would much rather take storage space inside. Just buy a space saver and keep it on long road trips. Much more practical
This Nissan is my next full size SUV, Ive owned a Tahoe and suburban , im currently a 23 Lexus GX owner
So is there only one taillight supplier now for large SUV? Armada & Expedition now look like the Tahoe/Suburban ones! 😁🤪

Yes
Yes it does

I like the GMC Yukon. Nissan desperately needs this truck to succeed.
I still say the 37mpg on the highway diesel Tahoe is the clear choice in this segment. This is nicer than I was expecting from the Nissan though
If you live in Calitaxya you won’t be able to buy a diesel soon, they are banning them.
Would you please review the Honda Pilot trail sport 2025

Me.
Rogue sells very well… hopefully this will capture some tahoe/expedition/wagoneer buyers. This is definitely a more compelling choice vs. the Sequoia.
I’d likely buy this over the Sequoia
Nice but probably not enough to save Nissan 😅
There’s the Kicks and Murano too. Plus a hybrid Rogue coming next year.
Really you don’t think they sell one million of these at 90 thousand dollars- to save Nissan.. wow you must be a rocket scientist!!!.,
Toyota should be embarrassed! Sequoia is a mess.
Nissan will be gone by spring 2025. Gone with the Wind 💨 😂
I don't like it
Truckie... Lol
CVT transmission?? If so high fail rare. I'll have to pass.
no cvt here - it's a normal automatic transmission....
@frederickmiller5492 Oh well, then I might look into it.
never have been a cvt on these and their trucks
