The 2022 Armada is a full-size SUV model from Nissan that has rolled into the market with its new model year edition, 2022. Reliable sources like the Santa Maria Nissan dealership say, there is a $500 increase in its price this time in comparison to the refreshed 2021 edition of Nissan Armada. So, let us find out what justifies this price hike, and what we get in return for this additional sum of money.

There is no doubt that the 2022 Nissan Armada will come well equipped in every sense of the term. The feature list says even at its base form, the 2022 Nissan Armada S offers the level of comfort and convenience that can challenge many higher trims of its rivals, for sure.  Coming to the price increase, what Nissan justifies is its higher level of ride comfort that it offers in comparison to other full-size SUV models from other brands.

Feature Comparisons

Nissan claims that the 2022 model year edition of Armada can show more number of standard features than its closest rivals in the circles of Chevrolet and Ford. The comparison can be made on the infotainment system in these three models, where the Nissan model can boast of a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay, whereas the Android Auto stays wired even now and a keyless start for all. Apart from this, there is a pair of 10-way power front seats, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a satellite radio, and a cabin wrapped in premium cloth upholstery. On the flip side, every 2022 Nissan Armada deserves to be recommended by the auto experts as one of the safest SUVs to be with your family. Driving a 2022 Nissan Armada is stress-free since you get the protection of front and rear automatic emergency braking that works in tune with pedestrian detection, then there is active lane control and blind-spot monitors, that minimize the chances of taking wrong drive decisions. On the other side features like adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams help the 2022 Nissan Armada models drive within a safety zone.

Engine and Other Power Configurations

The 2022 Nissan Armada works in silence, and that is a sign of an efficient SUV that can play every role of a big family mover. For this, Nissan engages a sole engine variant, which is a 5.6-liter V-8 one that can gush out 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque, which is just enough to tow up to 8,500 pounds. The figures are impressive enough to call for a decent crowd gathering, among whom there are business investors. The SV trim of Nissan 2022 Armada comes with features like heated synthetic leather seats, a wireless charging pad, and a trailer brake controller that is paired with an advanced tow hitch receiver.

Step up to the SL trim of the 2022 Nissan Armada and that will add on the list a leather trimmed interior, pairs of 20-inch wheels, memory front seats, remote start, a sunroof, a surround-view camera system, a power lift gate, trailer sway control and a 13-speaker Bose audio system. Reaching up to the range topping Platinum trim will elevate the ride and drive experience of 2022 Nissan Armada with a one-touch power-folding mechanism dedicated to the passengers of the third-row seats, to increase the cargo space with ease, demonstrated a sales staff of the Nissan dealer near Santa Maria.
