Nissan Kicks

I don’t spend a whole lot of time in entry-level cars, but it’s nice to see that there are some nice options out there for people without deep pockets or who are just starting in a career.

Nissan has unveiled the updated 2021 Armada. The full-size SUV offers impressive horsepower and towing capacity. The SUV with its 5.6-liter V8 engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. The engine makes 400 horsepower and allows the Armada to tow 8500 pounds.

Despite some pretty big challenges in recent years, automaker Nissan is still alive and kicking, and hopes to bring new buyers and loyalists back to the brand as it gradually redesigns its lineup. In the last year, we’ve seen a new Sentra, and know a new Rogue, Pathfinder, and Terrain almost sure bets for 2021.

The Kia Soul is a popular car with folks that want style and utility at a bargain price when new car shopping. Nissan has a new entry-level crossover that might lure some of those Soul buyers Nissan’s way.
