The 2021 Nissan Armada Starts at Nearly $50,000

Despite its bold new look, the 2021 Nissan Armada isn't exactly all new. The big body-on-frame off-roader was recently given a deep refresh with a new face and big updates to the interior that bring it in lockstep with the Nissan Patrol, the Armada's more global sibling. And though the updates are sizable, they don't come with as steep a price hike as you might expect.

The Armada S serves as the base trim for the 2021 model year, and starts at $49,895, just $1,000 more than last year's base SV trim. In addition to the new looks and that freshened-up interior, your extra cash also nets a few other goodies like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. There's also a standard trailer brake on all 2021 Armadas.

Step up to the SV or SL models and you'll be looking at a base MSRP of $53,895 or $57,295, respectively. Nissan is also offering a Midnight Edition package that, as you might have guessed, blacks out the grille, mirror caps, front and rear skid plates, and adds some special 20-inch black wheels among a few other bits and bobs. The Midnight Edition is a $1,990 option on top of the SL, bringing the total to $59,285.

Top of the line Platinum models start at $66,295 and come with many of the optional extras from the other models as standard with the option for other luxury-oriented features like automatic rear braking and a surround-view monitor. All of the aforementioned Armadas come with rear-wheel-drive, so if a 4x4 system better suits your needs your needs, you'll need to shell out an extra $3,000 for the option.

Nissan says 2021 Armadas are already hitting showrooms, so if this is the right body-on-frame SUV for you, there's no need to wait.
