Set to go on sale later this year, the 2025 Nissan Armada sports an evolutionary design that is instantly recognizable. Despite this, the SUV is clearly more modern as it sports a wide grille that is flanked by vertical LED headlights.
They’re joined by an acoustic windshield, rain-sensing wipers, and functional air curtains. Moving down the sides, we can see curvaceous bodywork as well as 18-, 20-, or 22-inch wheels. Designers also reimagined the greenhouse and developed a distinctive rear pillar. Elsewhere, there are vertical taillights that can be connected by an available illuminated strip.
The interior borrows heavily from the Infiniti QX80 and feels light years ahead of its predecessor. That being said, the entry-level model is surprisingly bare bones. On the bright side, customers will find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. They’re joined by a six-speaker audio system and eight leatherette seats with power adjustment up front.
That’s not much to get excited about, but third-row passengers will find an extra 145 mm of legroom. Cargo capacity also climbs as there’s 578 liters behind the third-row and 2,750 liters behind the first-row. Higher-end variants are far more luxurious as they offer 14.3-inch.
One of the standout features of the 2025 Nissan Armada is its robust powertrain. Under the hood, you’ll find a 5.6-liter V8 engine, delivering 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth and responsive shifts. But the performance specs are just the beginning—let’s break down how this SUV handles different driving conditions.
