it wasn’t all that long ago that Kia was little more than an afterthought on the American market. But sales have soared in recent years and are on track to set another record for 2025.

A new Nissan Armada has sailed into U.S. showrooms, the three-row beast picking up on some of the rugged cues first seen in the form of the old Nissan Patrol way back in 1951. There are some welcome changes with the third-generation SUV, including the addition of an off-road Pro-4X trim.
