2007 Chicago Auto Show: 2008 Nissan Armada

For 2008, Nissan decided to keep things simple, giving a uniformed look to the Titan, Pathfinder and Armada — at least around the front. Otherwise, the new Armada’s massive bulk gets little nipped and tucked besides some new light treatments and a rear-end adjustment.

There are several new interior features, including a much improved center stack, power-folding third-row seats, an optional heated steering wheel, an intelligent key system, a hard-drive-based entertainment system, Bluetooth hands-free calling and a DVD navigation system with live traffic updates. There’s no word on when the 2008 Armada will become available, but check back next week when our full coverage of the Chicago Auto Show gets into gear.
