THE IMPRESSIVE 2025 NISSAN ARMADA IS HERE !!!
It’s no secret that Americans live large. Anyone who’s been to Buc-ee’s, the world’s largest convenience store, can attest to that. If you have, you won’t be surprised that we are also the fattest population in the world among high-income countries. So, is it any wonder that we love such full-size SUV stalwarts as the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada?
Well, no. We require space, like that delivered by the 2025 Armada.
Sharing more with its international stablemate, the Nissan Patrol, the Armada shares the Patrol’s tailored sheet metal that lends it a more sophisticated appearance. It wears C-shaped lighting, a kicked-up rear pillar and slick floating roof design used elsewhere in the Nissan lineup. At 210 inches long and 83 inches wide, it’s still sizable and built body-on-frame. It’s a true truck, not some poser.
Offered in ascending SV, SL, Platinum, Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve trims, it’s fitted with the Patrol’s optional off-road package for the first time and a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 evolved from the one used in the GT-R sports car. And while the Armada’s major bits are all shared with the redesigned Infiniti QX80, the Armada uses regular unleaded fuel rather than premium. Most importantly for many buyers, the Armada uses physical buttons for its climate controls, drive modes and transmission, among other controls. On the Infiniti QX80, they’re on-screen.
Speaking of screens, the Armada comes with two 12.3-inch horizontal screens, one for the driver, the other for the infotainment touchscreen. That’s in addition to a rearview camera mirror, which helps when the car is packed to the brim with stuff. There are also dash cams that record and take photos or videos outside and inside, should you need them.
As you’d expect, the 2025 Nissan Armada comes with standard wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto and wireless charging on all but the base SV trim. There’s also an incredible Klipsch 12-speaker 600-watt audio system with a clarity and sound quality that’s jaw-dropping.
And, yes, you might expect upper trim levels to have such niceties as heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, although you wouldn’t expect the Armada to have a biometric sensor. It uses infrared sensors to measure passengers’ surface temperatures and adjust the climate control appropriately.
Throughout the Armada, its entire package impresses, as if it’s all been significantly upgraded — or at least more thoughtfully designed. There are the small touches that you’ll appreciate, such as door panels, instrument panel and center console that are wrapped and stitched, rather than merely stamped from molded plastic. And, should you require them, your Nissan dealer has a bunch of canine and camping accessories to customize your Armada.
Some may miss the V-8, but the twin-turbo V-6 provides more than enough muscle to handle this big rig. And while the EPA hasn’t yet rated the Armada for fuel economy, it returned just over 18 mpg in mostly suburban driving.
A brief spin in the Pro-4X reveals it to be as capable off-road as on. Being so wide, its side-view cameras are especially helpful on tight trails and in corners, although those who park in tight parking spaces will appreciate them as well.
Prices start at just over $56,000 before destination charge and top out below $80,000. That makes the 2025 Nissan Armada a compelling value compared to the Infiniti QX80 and its fancier trim. It’s easy to be impressed with its mix of technology, crisp design and roomy comfort. It’s truly one big kahuna.
