First-ever PRO-4X​

The all-new 2025 Armada adds unprecedented off-road capability with its first PRO-4X grade. Featuring all-terrain tires, an increased approach angle, underbody skid plates, an electronic locking differential and Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension1, it helps drivers go farther so they can enjoy more of what they love in the great outdoors.

Armada's first twin-turbo V6​

Armada introduces a new twin-turbo, direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine, giving Armada the most standard horsepower among its competitive set (excluding hybrids and EVs). Coupled with a standard 9-speed automatic transmission, the engine helps enable an impressive towing capacity of 8,500 pounds2.

dont know much, but hopefully those who yearned for a proper new replacement of the lc200 or wanted an Lc300 using no fancy hev tech should be lining up to purchase these. Proper interior space, approach and dep angles etc.

Good job nissan

The headlights remind me of the current Silverado and some other full-size GMs. If you can option away the electronic diff and air suspension it'll do well with serious off-roaders though.

The New Nissan Patrol Has a Naturally Aspirated V-6 Base Engine​

The Armada can still be had without turbos, but not in the United States.​



While all the images and the world premiere from Abu Dhabi focused on the gigantic off-roader with the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, some markets will also get a base 3.8-liter V-6. The turbo-less engine has been rated at 316 horsepower and 285 pound-feet. That means it's down by a substantial 109 hp and 231 lb-ft.

Nissan hosts world premiere of all-new Patrol NISMO​



Tuned specifically for Middle Eastern customers and launching a new benchmark in performance, the Nissan Patrol NISMO features a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine producing an incredible 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport mode – a significant increase of 70 horsepower versus the standard Patrol.

Additional enhancements include a NISMO-tuned suspension, race-inspired aerodynamics with an extended rear spoiler and 22-inch forged alloy wheels co-developed with RAYS, designed for improved lateral stiffness. Motorsport-grade details such as a Formula-E-inspired rear fog lamp, red-accented bodywork, and exclusive track-focused interior finishes complete the vehicle’s transformation.

2026 Nissan Armada debuts exciting new NISMO version​



Building on more than 40 years of NISMO performance expertise, the Armada NISMO excites driving enthusiasts with 460 horsepower — a 35-horsepower increase versus other versions (when using premium fuel only) — from its twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine1 and a louder, less restrictive exhaust. NISMO engineers also precisely retuned the electric power steering and Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension2 for more engaging and direct handling. Completing the dynamic upgrades, NISMO-specific forged wheels shod in NISMO-exclusive high-performance tires deliver greater traction and responsiveness.
