2025 Nissan Armada Named Best-In-Class Full-Size SUV by NEMPA

When winter driving gets tough in Bennington, VT and across New England, you need a vehicle you can count on. That’s why we’re excited to share that the 2025 Nissan Armada has been named Best-In-Class Full-Size SUV in the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) Winter Vehicle Awards. This recognition highlights the Armada’s ability to deliver power, comfort, and confidence, especially in the kind of harsh winter conditions we face right here in Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts.

What Makes the Nissan Armada a Winter Winner?

The NEMPA Winter Vehicle Awards are all about real-world performance in snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. The 2025 Armada stood out in categories that matter most to New England drivers:

  • Powerful V8 Performance – Armada’s engine delivers the strength you need to handle steep hills and snowy backroads.
  • Intelligent 4×4 System – Advanced traction control and selectable drive modes help you navigate icy roads with confidence.
  • Spacious 8-Passenger Comfort – Whether you’re commuting to Troy, NY, heading to ski trips in Vermont, or driving the family across Western Massachusetts, there’s room for everyone (and their gear).
  • Heated Features – Available heated steering wheel and seats mean you’ll stay cozy on the coldest mornings.
  • Safety First – Standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 helps keep you and your passengers protected, even when road conditions are less than ideal.

Why the NEMPA Award Matters for Bennington Drivers

The New England Motor Press Association doesn’t just look at specs, it tests vehicles in the same conditions we face every winter in Bennington, North Bennington, Williamstown MA, Hoosick Falls, and beyond. For the Armada to be named Best-In-Class means it’s been proven to handle exactly the type of roads our customers drive every day.

That’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.

Armada: Luxury Meets Capability

What makes the 2025 Nissan Armada stand out isn’t just its winter readiness. It blends rugged strength with premium comfort:

  • High-quality interior materials with available leather-appointed seating
  • Cutting-edge technology including a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration
  • Up to 92.6 cu. ft. of cargo space for everything from ski gear to holiday shopping
  • Advanced towing capabilities for hauling trailers, boats, or equipment year-round

The Armada is as comfortable driving to the slopes as it is tackling daily errands around Bennington, VT.
