2025 Nissan Armada: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Nissan Armada is an all-new, third-generation redesign. Its headline change is the move from a V8 to a 425-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic.
About the 2025 Nissan Armada
3rd generation, first year of the redesign.
Nissan positions the Armada as a full-size, body-on-frame three-row SUV that blends real towing and off-road ability with family comfort and premium tech. The core appeal is simple: lots of passenger room, strong tow hardware, available 4WD capability, and a much more upscale cabin than before. Nissan markets it as a big SUV that can handle trails, long road trips, and daily family duty without feeling stripped-down or work-focused.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the practical SV family-and-trailer model to the first trail-focused PRO-4X, which has four-wheel drive, a locking rear differential, air suspension, and underbody protection. Platinum adds quilted leather, dual 14.3-inch displays, and a panoramic moonroof, while the new Platinum Reserve tops the range with massaging front seats, a head-up display, and adaptive air suspension.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The old 400-hp V8 and seven-speed automatic give way to a 425-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic. Torque rises from 413 to 516 lb-ft, while city/highway fuel economy increases from 14/19 mpg to 16/20 mpg on SV, SL, and Platinum.
Styling
Every trim gets a completely redesigned exterior and cabin. The new PRO-4X adds an off-road front bumper, tow hooks, a metal skid plate, and trim-specific details.
Safety
ProPILOT Assist becomes standard throughout the lineup, though capability varies by trim.
Tech
Digital gauges and modern touchscreens replace the old cabin layout. The redesign also brings upgraded surround-view cameras, Google-based infotainment on SL, and hands-free freeway driving on higher trims.
Structural
A redesigned platform and body increase maximum cargo space from 95.4 to 97.1 cubic feet and rear legroom from 28.4 to 32.9 inches. Maximum towing capacity remains 8,500 pounds.
