Nissan FINALLY Completely Redesigned The Armada & Patrol! 2025 Nissan Armada/Patrol First Look

Nissan's Armada and Patrol have often lived in the shadow of Toyota's Land Cruiser, which is shame since the Nissan and it's Infiniti cousin regularly outsell the Toyota competition. For 2025 the Armada gets most of the same updates as the QX80 we recently drove with a few conspicuous changes. Most notably: the Armada gets a more capable 4WD system and it's twin-turbo V6 is tuned for regular unleaded, no premium required. If you want something more rugged, there's also a Pro-4X version for you now. Sadly, it doesn't look like the Patrol will get a diesel....

It being tuned for regular gas and not having to use premium is such an underrated feature.

Alex, We have to credit Nissan for that sliding, 40/20/40 second row. Far too many expensive SUVs are missing those highly useful features these days.

I've got a soft spot for nissan. My first vehicle was an 87 pathfinder, very high mileage and falling apart by the time it got to me but still loved it. Had a friend with a 240sx, loved that one too. I hope this is the beginning of a comeback for them.

Cant lie, Im impressed. They really nailed a lot of key details. Truthfully, Nissan has been quietly revamping its whole lineup. Not too many bad offerings there anymore.

I look at this and can't help but wonder why Nissan decided to kill the Titan- that interior (and the new engine) would have addressed most of the complaints with the truck.

That PRO 4X with a rocky ridge kit with a 2 inch lift 😍

Seems like a good alternative to the full size Land Cruiser we are not allow to get anymore! Nissan might not be dead yet, still kicking and fighting!

You can tell Nissan studied the Tahoe z71 for this refresh and the Escalade for the qx80

i wish Nissan make a new generation of Titan that have this front facia.

Nissan outdone themselves with the new armada. I really hope it succeeds

[albertcamacho]

Nissan V-6 engines and VQ engines are legendary. I will miss their 5.6 Endurance, which is probably the most dependable V8 ever made. I have 300k on my Titan and a friend of mine was at 550k miles.

Them headrests in the third row be like “Roger, Roger”

[shaunpercival]

Very happy for nissan 🎉 I hope they can bounce back and attract buyers

Can't wait to see how the refreshed Tahoe and Expedition compete with this.

[AliAlslaman]

The patrol has a small refrigerator in the central arm rest. Which is huge deal in hot climates.

Absolutely stunning vehicle! Just a very gorgeous, rugged, upright and masculine looking SUV.

[mitchstein]

Thank you for acknowledging this vehicle with such a "world view". Being in North America (USA) we get such a USA-centric view of things, however manufacturers are global. Many markets influence one another and I don't think that's talked about enough. Love this PRO4X, however I don't think I'll be able to afford one.

[brownmcpherson]

Don't care for black wheels. And 17 or 18" wheels would be better.

[johng]

The only change that i can see that i like is the addition of the rear diff lock. Things that suck: V8 gone, no more shift lever, Auto start/stall technology, no more real guages, no more parking brake pedal?, V8 gone, And if they switched to electric power steering then at also sucks. Think i will be hanging on to my '22 armada for a long time.

Can’t wait until the Arabs put 1100 HP in this!
