2025 Nissan Armada Preview
For 2025, Nissan has completely redesigned its full-sized SUV, the Armada. This rebirth will bring a
more adventure-ready vehicle highlighted by the company's first-ever PRO-4X grade for its flagship
utility. The eight-passenger SUV builds upon its reputation for comfort and capability with a new
twin-turbocharged V6 engine, enhanced technology, and a more rigid chassis that improves both
on-road refinement and off-road prowess.
The most significant changes will be under the hood,
where a new 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine replaces the outgoing V8, delivering 425 horsepower and
516 lb.-ft. of torque—increases of 25 horsepower and 103 lb.-ft. This powerplant will pair with a
new nine-speed automatic transmission, offering two more forward gears than its predecessor for
improved acceleration and efficiency. Inside, you’ll see a dramatically upgraded cabin with
available dual 14.3-inch displays and Google built-in technology, while new features like biometric
cooling and massaging front seats will raise the luxury factor.
With a priority on capability
and technology, the 2025 Armada will maintain its mighty 8,500-pound towing capacity while adding
features like ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for hands-free highway driving, Invisible Hood View for off-road
navigation, and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The new PRO-4X grade will
draw trail drivers with its serious off-road credentials, such as all-terrain tires, increased
approach angles, underbody protection, and an electronic locking rear differential.
Trims and Powertrains
The 2025 Armada will have five trim levels – SV, SL, PRO-4X, Platinum, and Platinum Reserve – all of which will get the aforementioned twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (output: 425 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Rear-wheel drive will come standard on all trims except the 4WD-only PRO-4X (the four-wheel drivetrain will be optional on the other trims). Also, look for a drive-mode selector with eight modes on the PRO-4X (Standard, Eco, Sport, Tow, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud/Rut). All trims will have Trailer Sway Control and an 8,500-pound towing capacity.
Standard Features
As the base trim, the SV will have an eight-passenger configuration (thanks to a 40/20/40 split-folding second-row bench) with tri-zone automatic temperature control. The front seats will provide eight-way power adjustability for the driver and four-way power for the passenger. This trim’s additional standard equipment will include remote start, running boards, roof rails, leatherette upholstery, automatic LED headlights, proximity keyless entry, push-button ignition, rain- and speed-sensing wipers (front and rear), a 12.3-inch driver information display, power side mirrors, a Class IV tow hitch receiver with pre-wiring, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat, six USB ports, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology
All 2025 Armadas will come standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which consists of forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning and intervention, lane departure warning and intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and automatic high beams. Trailer blind-spot warning is included across the trim range. The SL and higher will also have a surround-view monitor with Invisible Hood View and Front Wide View modes.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The SV and SL are slated to get a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen while higher trims upgrade to a 14.3-inch touchscreen. The SL and higher will include access to NissanConnect services, navigation, and Google built-in (with Google Maps, Google Assistant). All trims include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
