New 2025 Nissan Armada
Powering the 2025 Armada is a new twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine borrowed from the Infiniti QX80. Here it makes 425 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, 25 horsepower and 103 pound-feet better than the outgoing V-8. That new engine is paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard adaptive four-wheel drive.
The 2025 Armada sees a 25% increase in torsional rigidity over the outgoing model and a 57% increase in lateral stiffness. That gives the Armada an improved ride quality, Nissan says, and makes it even more capable off-road with the new Pro-4X trim equipped. And with a now-standard integrated class four tow hitch, the Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
Nissan’s Pro-4X off-road trim makes its way to the Armada for the first time, adding upgrades like 20-inch all-terrain tires, an adaptive air suspension, a metal skid plate, and a genuine electronic locking rear differential. That locking diff was once exclusive to the Middle Eastern-market Nissan Patrol—now it’s finally available in the US.
With the air suspension at its highest setting, the Armada Pro-4X has 9.6 inches of ground clearance and stands 2.1 inches taller than the standard height. A revised front fascia with a throwback three-slot grille design improves the approach, and a similarly upgraded rear bumper enhances the departure. All told, the Armada Pro-4X has a 33.9-degree approach angle, a 25.3-degree breakover angle, and a 24.3-degree departure angle.
