The Nissan Armada is Nissan’s offering in the Full-Size SUV market - and has been since its debut all the way back in 2003. For 2025, the Armada promises to bring with it a wide suite of changes - but are they changes in the right direction? In today’s article we’ll be going for a deep dive on the 2025 Nissan Armada redesign vs 2024 model: What’s different?
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Armada is fully revamped - now resembling the internationally available Nissan Patrol.
- The 2024 Armada is still a solid vehicle - and the discounts buyers can expect to net themselves should keep the battle competitive
- A major improvement for the 2025 armada is in it’s offroading capabilities - can the 2024 model keep up?
Will there be a 2025 Armada?
Yes! For 2025, Edmunds reports that the Nissan Armada gets a complete overhaul for 2025, This redesign brings major improvements to the model, with standouts including upgraded technology and a more refined interior.
Plus, the new Pro-4X trim brings much needed enhancements in its off-road capability that buyers will be glad to see. The trim enhances the Armada’s off-road ability while incorporating high-end features from the Platinum model, and speccing into the Premium package adds on even more features like a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and even a hands-free liftgate.
Every Armada features dual dashboard screens. The base SV and SL trims include 12.3-inch displays, while the Platinum, Pro-4X, and Platinum Reserve trims upgrade to larger 14.3-inch screens, creating a seamless panoramic effect—especially useful for the Armada’s onboard cameras. Standard across all trims are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with driver aids like adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. However, features like heated seats and the impressive 12-speaker Klipsch audio system aren’t available on the base SV.
Nissan’s ProPilot Assist 2.1, a hands-free highway driving system, performed well in my tests. It’s available on all trims except the SV and Pro-4X. The older ProPilot Assist 1.1 is standard on every trim except the SV, which gets a basic adaptive cruise control system instead. Speaking of reasons to avoid the SV trim, the Klipsch audio system is a standout. Whether playing rock, show tunes, or podcasts, it delivers a rich sound that enhances the Armada’s upscale feel.
What is the gas mileage on a 2025 Nissan Armada?
Good question! Kelley Blue Book reports that for 2025, you can expect the EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings for the Nissan Armada to be the same as its sister model, the Infiniti QX80 with the same engine. They report that the Infiniti is rated at 20 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive and 19 mpg with 4-wheel drive, and that the Armada can be expected to net similar figures.
What kind of gas does the 2024 Nissan Armada take?
The 2024 Nissan Armada, while they certainly recommend using Premium fuel in order to get the most performance out of your Armada, regular 87 octane is more than serviceable for getting around.
Summary
It’s the ultimate in luxury - the full-size SUV that can take you where you need to go in style. The Nissan Armada is massively improved in 2025, and the new changes that it’s bringing to the table for 2025 have us excited for what the new Armada has to offer.
