Nissan Armada Overview

The 2025 Nissan Armada introduces updated technology, improved off-road capability, and a new design while maintaining its previous base price of $56,520. It features a new 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering up to 8,500 pounds of standard towing capacity. All models come with a Class IV hitch and pre-wired 7-pin harness.

A new PRO-4X trim joins the lineup, equipped with off-road features such as all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, an electronic locking rear differential, and adaptive air suspension. It also includes visual upgrades like Lava Red accents, black exterior trim, and unique interior detailing.

To handle a variety of road and trail conditions, the Armada offers eight selectable drive modes, including Tow, Sand, and Mud/Rut. The Off-road Information Display provides real-time data on incline, wheel slip, and steering angle.

Optional ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is available on SL, Platinum, and Platinum Reserve trims, enabling hands-off freeway driving in certain situations. Every Armada model comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of driver assistance features aimed at improving safety and driver awareness across a range of scenarios.

2025 Nissan Armada First Drive

Williamson county is consistently the most affluent in Tennessee, and in fact one of the top-ranking counties in the whole country.


This being the launch location for the 2025 Nissan Armada sends a clear message. After the outgoing model trundled along in the market for nearly a decade, Nissan’s big body-on-frame SUV is new again, offering buyers a modernized 2020s experience that the brand says better addresses customer demands. The Armada is marching upmarket with a look and feel (and price) that says the folks around here are prime potential customers. Can it tempt them away from the default Tahoe or Expedition? Nissan invited AutoGuide down for a day to find out.
