Nissan has unveiled the redesigned 2025 Armada, a full-size SUV that aims to compete in the highly competitive segment dominated by the Chevrolet Tahoe. While the Armada may not have the same sales volume as its rival, Nissan is not giving up on this model and has introduced significant updates for the new generation.
Exterior Updates
The 2025 Armada features an evolutionary design that is instantly recognizable while also incorporating modern elements. The SUV boasts a wider grille flanked by vertical LED headlights, an acoustic windshield, rain-sensing wipers, and functional air curtains. The sides feature curvaceous bodywork and 18-, 20-, or 22-inch wheels. A distinctive rear pillar and vertical taillights further enhance the Armada’s updated appearance.
Interior Refinements
The interior of the 2025 Armada has been significantly upgraded, borrowing heavily from the Infiniti QX80. While the base model may be surprisingly bare-bones, higher-end variants offer luxurious features such as 14.3-inch displays, open pore wood trim, quilted leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs with a center console, a wireless smartphone charger, and a dual-pane panoramic moonroof.
Technology features include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker audio system, and an available 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system.
Enhanced Performance
The Armada is powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 425 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This represents a slight improvement over the previous model, with 25 hp more power and the same torque output.
The engine is paired with a new nine-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous seven-speed gearbox. This new transmission offers improved acceleration, quicker upshifts, and better efficiency. Customers can choose between rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Off-Road Capability
The Armada can tow up to 8,500 lbs and is available with an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and a new Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring system. For those seeking off-road adventures, the Armada Pro-4X offers a clearance maximizing front bumper, an electronic locking rear differential, 20-inch all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an air suspension that can raise or lower the ride height.
Safety Features
The Armada comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including ProPILOT Assist, ProPILOT Assist 1.1, and ProPILOT Assist 2.1. These systems provide advanced driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and hands-free operation.
The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, High Beam Assist, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, and Intelligent Lane Intervention.
Conclusion
The redesigned 2025 Nissan Armada offers a combination of modern design, enhanced performance, and advanced technology. With its spacious interior, powerful engine, and off-road capabilities, the Armada aims to attract buyers seeking a capable and comfortable full-size SUV.
