Redesigned 2025 Nissan Armada Priced From $58,530

Nissan redesigned the full-size Armada SUV from the ground up for the 2025 model year. It rides on a new frame, there are huge gains in interior room — third-row legroom is up a tremendous 5.7 inches compared to the outgoing model — and the normally aspirated 5.6-liter V-8 engine has been replaced by a twin-turbocharged V-6. It looks like a significant improvement over the aging previous-generation Armada, yet the base price stays the same as it did for 2024.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The old Armada’s V-8 seemed powerful when that generation debuted for 2017, but it paled in comparison to the modern turbocharged competition — the Ford Expedition’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter produces 480 pounds-feet of torque in most configurations, and the Toyota Sequoia’s hybrid and turbocharged powertrain grunts out 583 pounds-feet. Nissan’s 3.5-liter V-6 lands in between, but its 425 horsepower and 516 pounds-feet of torque are gains of 25 hp and 103 pounds-feet over the outgoing V-8. Maximum towing capacity is 8,500 pounds.

A nine-speed automatic transmission takes the place of the outgoing Armada’s seven-speed, and rear-wheel drive is standard. Four-wheel drive is $3,000 on every trim level except the Pro-4X, where it’s standard. Official EPA fuel-economy estimates are not yet available but should only stray minimally — if at all — from those of the mechanically similar Infiniti QX80’s. The Infiniti is rated at 16/20/18 mpg city/highway/combined with RWD and 16/19/17 mpg with 4WD.

Safety Features and Trim Levels

Standard safety features on the 2025 Nissan Armada include forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitors with trailer coverage, blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and steering assist, a driver-attention monitor, road-sign recognition, automatic high beams and a rear-seat reminder. Nissan’s ProPilot Assist 1.1, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering but requires the driver to keep their hands on the wheel, is also standard on the SL and higher trims. ProPilot Assist 2.1, which allows for hands-off semi-autonomous highway driving, is available on the SL, Platinum and Platinum Reserve.

The entry-level Armada SV rides on 18-inch wheels and features LED headlights and taillights, as well as keyless entry and start. It’s upholstered in synthetic leather and has eight-way power-adjustable front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, six speakers, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with satellite radio and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

One step up, the Armada SL is fitted with 20-inch wheels and heated 10-way adjustable front seats. Its in-car tech suite is upgraded with Amazon Alexa Built-In, navigation, wireless phone charging and a 12-speaker Klipsch sound system.

The Platinum gets a comprehensive overhaul, with dual panoramic moonroofs, a hands-free power liftgate, heated side mirrors and LED foglights. Inside, it features quilted leather upholstery, 12-way adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, larger 14.3-inch screens for the instrument panel and touchscreen, in-car and dash cameras, a rearview camera mirror, and a 360-degree camera system with an “invisible hood” view that shows the driver what’s directly in front of the vehicle and a wide-angle view to aid visibility when pulling into traffic.

New to the Armada lineup for 2025, the Pro-4X gets an adaptive air suspension, 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, a front bumper modified for an increased approach angle, skid plates, tow hooks, red exterior accents and an integrated trailer-brake controller. Other than the off-road gear, the Pro-4X largely parallels the SL’s content, though many of the Platinum’s luxury features are available as options.

At the top of the Armada lineup, the Platinum Reserve also gets the adaptive suspension from the Pro-4X, 22-inch wheels and massaging front seats.
