The 2025 Nissan Armada is all-new, offering a fresh take on this full-size SUV. It comes packed with a broad package of technologies, including oversized screens. Offering room for seven, the 2025 Armada comes with a turbocharged V6 engine and plenty of amenities, and it delivers strong towing capabilities.
The new 2025 Armada aligns with Nissan’s other utility vehicles, delivering a look that is as formidable as it is luxurious. A bold trapezoid grille is offset by distinctive LED lighting, putting Nissan’s stamp on the segment. A broad hood, upright roof pillars, and a high beltline underscore strength.
From the rear, this Armada features a pair of massive LED lights that flank a liftgate-wide lightbar. Available 20-inch machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels and terrain-ready tires take the Armada places off-road enthusiasts prefer to go.
Perhaps one of the most significant changes in the Armada is its interior. The fully reimagined cabin is packed with high-end materials including leather seats, high-gloss trim, and aluminum touches.
Seating is for seven with captain’s chairs in the second row and a bench seat in the third row. If you need room for eight, you have the option to swap out the captain’s chairs for a bench seat.
The Armada matches the Nissan Pathfinder in passenger carrying capacity, which is a somewhat smaller crossover utility vehicle. Behind the third row is 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold down the second and third rows, and there is nearly 100 cubic feet of carrying capacity.
Another area of big improvement this year involves the available technologies. A pair of 14.3-inch screens dominate the dashboard. The left screen displays instrumentation, and the right screen controls the infotainment system by means of touch.
Google Maps are built in, while wireless smartphone connectivity ditches the wires. An available Klipsch premium audio system offers concert-hall-like sound immersion throughout the cabin.
A long list of safety features helps keep passengers safe. Among the top features are:
Notably, the mirror utilizes cameras to “see” behind the Armada, thereby eliminating driver obstructions. Other tech features include hands- and foot-free driving.
Gone from the Armada is the previous V8 engine. A twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 takes over, delivering significantly more power. This engine is rated at 425 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. Power routes to the rear or to all four wheels utilizing a 9-speed automatic transmission.
This SUV maintains its stellar 8,500-pound towing capacity. For those wanting a wilderness experience, the available PRO-4X trim flexes this SUV’s off-road chops. It comes with extra underbody cladding, tow hooks, and grippy tires, taking the Armada down wilderness trails.
We found the 2025 Armada a wholly capable SUV. The new powertrain delivers ample step-off power and excellent acceleration. The transmission is tuned to shift smoothly, finding the right gear for the moment.
Some of its top competitors have also ditched V8s for turbocharged V6 engines. This Nissan keeps pace without losing its place. It drives and rides like a truck, the type of SUV best suited for towing and enhancing off-road adventures. The adaptive electric suspension system is a difference maker as it lowers the SUV for ease of entrance and exit while smoothing the ride.
The 2025 Nissan Armada checks all the right boxes in this niche segment. There are few full-sized, truck-based SUVs on the market, yet the Armada stands out among them. To find out more, please schedule your test drive at Palm Springs Nissan in Cathedral City today!
