After the last refresh that Armada received in 2021, the Japanese automaker is preparing us for a mid-cycle refreshment. The 2025 Nissan Armada is promised to bring new exterior and interior features. The upcoming Armada will bring luxury to a new level, and this flagship full-size SUV will become more appealing to customers around the globe. The leaked photos we see online show us that the new model will keep a boxy design, but it will get a new lighting group on the front and rear sides.
Not just the styling of this SUV will be changed; the changes will go under the hood. The powerful V8 engine will be replaced with a V6. Producing even more power while following the global trend of reducing engine displacement and making them more efficient. The biggest downside of the previous generation of Armada was their not-fuel-efficient engine, and that is going to change in the 2025 model year.
2025 Nissan Armada Specifications
As we already mentioned, the 5.6-liter V8 behemoth is going to be replaced with a twin-turbo V6. The new engine will offer more power, and power will rise from 400 horsepower to 430. Also, the torque is going to be improved slightly. The power will be transferred to front or all-wheel drive through a 9-speed automatic gearbox. This upgrade from a 7-speed automatic will bring us more smother shifting and improve fuel efficiency.
This model is well known for its impressive towing numbers. Thanks to body-on-frame rugged construction, this truck-like SUV will be able to tow up to 8,500 pounds.
The fuel consumption numbers are not officially stated, but according to our sources, we can expect around 20 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. Combined, it will be 22 MPG. The all-wheel-drive models will have around 10% worse fuel efficiency.
But according to our rumors, Armada will get a newly developed intelligent all-wheel drive that will switch to front-wheel drive on the highway, and we will see the same fuel efficiency on the highway.
2025 Nissan Armada Interior
The upcoming 2025 Nissan Armada will provide seating positions for up to eight people. This family SUV will come with an updated interior, and we hope they will offer more space in the third row. The big complaint in our last review was the third-row space.
The Armada is well known as a top-of-the-line SUV in the Nissan lineup, and we are sure that the Japanese automaker is going to bring luxury to a new level with this model. The standard equipment will be pretty rich, and that will include:
- Wireless Charging Pad
- Leather Seats with Heating and Venting Options
- 13-inch screen for the infotainment system
- 8-inch digital driver gauge
- Power Folding, Third Row,
And we will see some additional equipment, like.
- Second-row screens
- Capitan Chairs
- Electric Sunroof
This model will have all wireless connectivity options, including Android Auto and Google Car Play. Also, it will support Bluetooth connectivity and wireless hotspots.
We can’t forget all the up-to-date safety features.
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- High Beam Assist
- Lane departure warning
And there will be some tech features that will make driving easier. Some of them will be Intelligent Cruise Control and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, and we expect to see parking sensors with rear-view cameras as part of standard equipment.
2025 Nissan Armada Changes
Most of the changes we already mentioned. A new engine is under the hood. Brand new 9-speed automatic gearbox. And new interior and exterior styling. But there are some that we didn’t. The 2025 Nissan Armada will get a new color option, including some premium ones. The new car software with new graphics is also part of the 2025 model changes.
And we expect to see a new rim design offering, especially on high-end trims.
All these changes Nissan is making for the 2025 model are to make the Armada even more appealing to customers. This full-size family SUV will offer never-before-seen comfort. With a powerful and efficient engine that will provide good driving dynamics. And when it comes to towing, it will offer one of the best-in-class towing vehicles.
Price and Release Date
The latest 2025 Nissan Armada model is expected to be available for sale in 2024. Nissan didn’t confirm the precise release date for the 2025 Armada.
But we can expect that there will be some increases in comparison with the current prices. Current prices for Armanda are going from $55,450 up to $70,52. It is predicted that prices for the 2025 Nissan Armada will start at $58.000 and go up to $75.000 for top-tier trims.
Competition for this model will include the Genesis QX80, which will share the same platform as an Armada.
The Ford with their Expedition. Then came the Toyota Sequoia and the Chevrolet Tahoe. And our favorite in this class is the Lexus LX570.
