The 2008 Nissan Armada is ahead of the curve when it comes to both standard and optional features.

The standard features list on the 2008 Nissan Armada is above average on the SE and impressive on the LE. Edmunds testers find that the SE offers "full power accessories, a power driver seat, dual-zone climate control," and "an eight-speaker sound system with a CD changer and an MP3 input jack." On the LE trim of the Nissan Armada, ConsumerGuide tells you to expect "leather upholstery, 6-way power passenger seat, keyless access and starting, rearview camera, Bose sound system, [and] satellite radio." The upgraded Bose radio on the Nissan Armada LE is well received in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, with Edmunds reviewers appreciating the "265-watt, 10-speaker" setup.

Aside from the well-equipped standard Nissan Armadas, a variety of options packages is available for the tech-hungry. Kelley Blue Book writes, "if your kids are all about high-tech gadgetry and love on-board toys, the Armada has you covered," thanks in part to its optional "rear-seat DVD entertainment." Cars.com reviewers note that some of the improvements to the optional features for the Nissan 2008 Armada include "an improved navigation system with XM NavTraffic real-time traffic information" and a "larger LCD screen (8 inches)" for the optional DVD entertainment system. ConsumerGuide says that for Nissan, 2008 brings some other noteworthy options to the Armada, including a "power sunroof" and "Preferred Package" that brings "heated front seats," along with "power rear-quarter windows, [and] wireless cell phone link."

Conclusion

When it comes to features, the 2008 Nissan Armada keeps families entertained in plush, roomy surroundings.

Other Choices:

The 2008 Nissan Armada is still one of the best-looking full-size SUVs, but in performance, there are several better options. The Armada's city fuel economy rating of only 12 mpg makes it one of the biggest gas guzzlers, even among full-size SUVs. GM's full-size SUVs, including the Tahoe, were completely redesigned for 2007 and have much better handling, roomier interiors, and more fuel-efficient powertrains while still being as responsive. Ford's Expedition has an especially well-designed interior, though its performance lags other competitors. And the Toyota Sequoia is worth consideration, though it's new for the 2008 model year. And for those looking for a more affordable choice, Dodge's Durango is almost as large as these full-size SUVs and offers comparable towing ability for a bargain price.
