Key Takeaways
- A new Dark Armor package gives the 2027 Armada a blacked-out look.

- Max towing capacity for the Armada reaches 8,500 pounds.
What's Changed for the Nissan Armada in 2027?
With the Armada's redesign still relatively recent, Nissan hasn't made any major changes for 2027, but it does add the Dark Armor package, which gives the SUV a darker, more aggressive look.
Based on the SL trim, the Armada Dark Armor package replaces much of the exterior brightwork with black and dark chrome finishes. The treatment extends to the roof rails, window trim, grille, lower fascia, exterior badging, and 20-inch wheels. Inside, you'll find black upholstery and dark accents on the dash, steering wheel, and center console. A panoramic moonroof is also part of the package.
What Are the Engines in the 2027 Armada?
Every Armada uses a twin-turbocharged V6 paired with a nine-speed automatic. Output is rated at 425 horsepower across the lineup, while the NISMO cranks things up to 460 ponies. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available.
What Off-Road Gear Features in the 2027 Nissan Armada?
Buyers can add gear that expands the Armada's capabilities, including a height-adjustable air suspension. Four-wheel-drive models feature a locking rear differential for additional traction off pavement.
What Is the Towing Capacity in the 2027 Armada?
The Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds when properly equipped. That edges out the Chevrolet Tahoe's 8,400-pound max, although it falls short of the Ford Expedition's 9,600-pound capacity.
How Efficient Is the 2027 Armada?
Car and Driver reports that the Armada gets 16 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined.
Is the 2027 Armada Spacious?
Comfort is a priority throughout the Armada's cabin. The front seats provide ample cushioning and adjustment options for longer drives.
A standard second-row bench gives the Armada seating for eight. Optional captain's chairs reduce capacity to seven and provide an alternative second-row layout. Either configuration allows relatively easy access to the third row.
Unlike some three-row SUVs that add generous second-row space at the expense of passengers farther back, the Armada leaves usable room in both rows. The third row isn't as accommodating as the first two, but it can handle a pair of adults as long as they're not especially tall.
Does the 2027 Armada Have Modern Tech?
A pair of 12.3-inch displays is standard across the board. One is the digital instrument cluster, while the other handles infotainment functions. (Higher trims replace the infotainment display with a larger 14.3-inch touchscreen.) Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and Google built-in apps are available. SL, Pro-4X, and Platinum models also include a 12-speaker Klipsch audio system.
