    Updated 2026-06-04
    Quick Answer

    The Nissan Armada was fully redesigned for the 2025 model year. The headline change: a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 (about 425 hp / 516 lb-ft) replaces the previous-generation 5.6L V8, paired with a new 9-speed automatic on a body-on-frame platform shared with the Infiniti QX80. RWD is standard, 4WD is optional, and properly equipped tow rating reaches roughly 8,500 lb. Trims typically run SV, SL, Platinum and PRO-4X with 7- or 8-passenger seating; ProPILOT Assist 2.0 is available on higher trims.

    Inside the Nissan Armada

    What's new for the redesigned Armada

    The 2025 Armada is a clean-sheet redesign — the first major overhaul of Nissan's full-size SUV in over a decade. The biggest mechanical change is under the hood: the long-running 5.6L naturally aspirated V8 is gone, replaced by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 producing approximately 425 hp and 516 lb-ft. That is more horsepower and substantially more torque than the V8 it replaces, paired with a modern 9-speed automatic. The platform is shared with the redesigned Infiniti QX80, which means a stiffer body-on-frame chassis, a quieter cabin, modern driver-assist hardware and a thoroughly updated interior — and it carries forward into the 2026 model year.

    Trim ladder and tow story

    Trim structure typically runs SV (the value entry), SL (the volume comfort trim), Platinum / Platinum Reserve (the flagship luxury models with quilted leather and premium audio) and PRO-4X (the off-road-leaning 4WD trim with skid plates and a unique suspension tune). RWD is standard with 4WD optional. Properly equipped, the Armada tows up to approximately 8,500 lb — enough for a sizeable boat, a horse trailer or a mid-size travel trailer — and the twin-turbo V6's broad torque curve makes towing on grades noticeably easier than the outgoing V8 setup.

    How it stacks up vs Tahoe / Suburban / Sequoia / Wagoneer

    The Armada competes in the body-on-frame full-size SUV class against the Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban, Toyota Sequoia, Ford Expedition and Jeep Wagoneer. Its differentiators are the new twin-turbo V6 (more torque than most V8 rivals, no hybrid complexity), the QX80-shared platform that lifts cabin quality well above the previous generation, and a price point that typically undercuts the Wagoneer and loaded Sequoia / Expedition trims. Third-row space is competitive with the standard-wheelbase Tahoe and Sequoia; for maximum cargo behind the third row, the Suburban remains the segment leader.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • Twin-turbo V6 makes more horsepower and torque than the outgoing V8 it replaces
    • Brand-new body-on-frame platform shared with Infiniti QX80 — major cabin and refinement upgrade
    • 9-speed automatic delivers smoother around-town driving than the previous 7-speed
    • Roughly 8,500-lb tow rating when properly equipped
    • ProPILOT Assist 2.0 available with hands-off highway driving on top trims
    • Genuine 7- or 8-passenger three-row seating with adult-usable second row
    • Price typically undercuts comparably equipped Wagoneer and loaded Sequoia / Expedition trims
    Cons
    • Twin-turbo V6 fuel economy still trails hybrid competitors (Sequoia i-FORCE MAX, Tahoe diesel)
    • No hybrid or electrified option in the Armada lineup
    • Cargo room behind the third row is competitive but trails the long-wheelbase Suburban
    • PRO-4X 4WD hardware is off-road-styled rather than serious low-range rock-crawling kit
    • Top Platinum / Reserve trims push pricing into Wagoneer / Expedition Platinum territory
