The 2008 Nissan Armada features a new front fascia, headlamp and fog lamp designs, one-piece roof rack design, revised rear fascia, 20-inch wheel and tire package (LE only) and two new exterior colors.
Inside the 2008 Armada offers a third-row power folding 60/40 seat (optional LE), new gated shifter, new woodgrain accents (LE only), heated steering wheel (LE only), a lockable glove compartment and revised steering wheel and combination meter illumination.
Armada's strength comes from a 5.6-liter V-8 engine, producing 317 horsepower and 385 lb.-ft. of torque, with available Flexible Fuel Vehicle technology. Standard on every 2008 Nissan Armada is a reinforced electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode, which revises shift patterns as needed. Armada is offered in SE and LE models, with two-wheel or advanced four-wheel drive systems.
Tow Package-equipped Armadas (optional SE, standard LE) offer a maximum towing capacity of up to 9,100 pounds. Four-wheel drive Armadas maximize traction on- or off-road with an advanced full-time automatic control system, which under normal driving conditions operates in two-wheel drive mode, but can instantly distribute torque to all four as needed. A two-speed electronic transfer case allows driver selection between auto, full-time four-wheel drive and 4LO.
