Thanks for watching!

Honestly really like this thing. Price isnt as bad as the American competition. Should be reasonably reliable too being Japan-built. The twin turbo V6 is similar to what they’ve used in the GTR since 2008 - detuned obviously.

So cool for you to have been in my hometown! Recognized every single road you were on. Hope you enjoyed your stay

It’s a pretty nice car. Asking almost 90k for a Nissan though is a really hard ask.

nissan doing amazing jop hope they recover from there current situation

I love the second half of the video in the woods, just impressive how quiet that thing is.

[thunderbear]

I love nissan, the best SUV they make

I remember back in the day, only luxury brands neared the $100k mark (Range-rovers, Mercedes S-class, BMW's etc) and now to here a Nissan is close to that price level...it's really ponders the mind. But damn, that peanut butter/ mustard interior color combination is pretty awesome.

Aside from all the piano black in the interior, this actually looks quite good.

I'm not sure what it is, but the V6, the 3 rows, something about it loosely reminded me of the family Nissan Quest my father used to drive years ago. Felt oddly... nostalgic

[JoyMahendru]

Nissan Patrol (Armada) is literally a culture in the Middle East. Every house has one and when this one got released I saw these more than even the older V8s. I am a Toyota fan boy and always dreamt of having a Land Cruiser 300 but honestly the Land Cruiser looks very bland and definitely doesn’t match the luxury that Nissan gave. Nissan is literally living because of this product selling faster than hot cakes. Nissan sold more Patrols in UAE than they could’ve in America in 10 years.

Hey Topher, when is the 2025 Tahoe Pov coming?❤❤

[LookoutGamerShorts]

You can tell that the new startup chime is higher pitched compared to the 2021 Nissan Rogue

[trilingualkid]

The caddillac escalade has the tried and true V8's and supercruise, for $6k more that is a no brainer. Super cruise is such a relaxing way to travel and those V8 last forever...the turbo on these will go about 150k miles, its not a matter of if's its a matter of when.

12:30 "we also have a klich 12 speaker sound system in this qx80, not as much as you get in the qx80"

[petechilimindris]

Coming from a 2010 Armada V8 owner, the v6 engine while a good engine ive loved in my older nissans, it sounds Pu**sy with the v8 even though it's more hp than my v8. Mine sounds loud and throaty and just couldn't do anything further with buying this once I heard that. Also the price is ridiculous but I'm sure it's nice. Mises paid off and I still love it with 178K miles still runs strong and nice!

Brand new $90k car with creaking and rattling plastic from the factory👍

[AzmielSinclair]

That creek is a Nissan legacy my rouge creeks at me every once in a while

[uschi]

I was looking at the new Armada Pro4X but since I didn't need (or want) a 3rd row I went with the new GX (Overtrail+). My biggest concern about the new Armada was just the size. Does it feel as big driving it off-road as it looks? The new GX feels noticeably bigger than, say, a Wrangler on the trails, but it's not too big.

[aydenchapman]

I really like the new welcome chime in the Nissan armada better than the Infiniti imo

[flandrescarlet]

90k for a Nissan is just hmmm, let’s see how it sells, I really want to see how Korean competitors do their body on frame vehicles but there’s no news on those yet
