Both the 2022 Nissan LEAF and Nissan Armada have clearly made an impression over at Kelley Blue Book (KBB) as parts of their 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. According to Nissan, this is the fifth year in a row for the LEAF electric vehicle and two years in a row for the flagship Armada full-size SUV.

The “5-Year Cost to Own” evaluations take into consideration deprecation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees – according to KBB.com. “This data allows new car-shoppers to see the big picture of what a new vehicle will cost them over time, helping them save money by choosing a vehicle that best meets their needs for their long-term budget,” said Janice Yoell, senior manager of valuations for Kelley Blue Book.

For the new year, Nissan demonstrated its commitment to affordable mass-electric cars by lowering the MSRP of all LEAF models. For example, the LEAF S has a starting MSRP of $27,400, and buyers may be eligible for a potential federal tax credit of up to $7,500.

Every LEAF model features a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies, including available ProPILOT Assist, standard Safety Shield 360 and available NissanConnect services.

The 2022 Armada, which was redesigned inside and out for the 2021 model year, continues to bring high levels of authentic capability and premium style, comfort and connectivity. Even better – the SUV offers the most standard horsepower and safety technologies in its class.

For 2022, the Armada Platinum trim includes a one-touch power-folding function to the third row to its long list of standard convenience features. Powered by a proven 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine, the new Armada offers best-in-class standard 400 horsepower, and standard 8,500 lbs. maximum towing capacity.
