The redesigned 2017 Nissan Armada suggests you won’t need a black suit for the funeral of the 3-row, body-on-frame SUV anytime soon. Now based on the Nissan Patrol, the Armada gives up its previous Titan parentage for more car-like livability. With a new 5.6-liter V8, the '17 Armada adds horsepower but has reduced towing capacity. The interior is the real show-stopper with this new Armada—upgrades in materials plus acoustic glass and a lot of sound insulation mean the Armada is very comfortable.

A new, Tennessee-built, 5.6-liter V8 is the heart of every Armada, and they all get a 7-speed automatic transmission. From there you get to choose rear-wheel or all-wheel drive (RWD or AWD), depending on how much safety or off-road prowess suits your needs. If you choose AWD, the Armada’s EPA-estimated combined rating of 16 mpg drops by 1 in every category, with 14 city and 19 highway dropping to 13 and 18 respectively. This is a poor showing, even in this admittedly thirsty category. Read more on CarGurus: https://cargur.us/cDlvk
