Get to Know the All-New Nissan Armada

First released as the Nissan Pathfinder Armada, this gorgeous SUV has been available for more than 20 years and has earned a lot of fans in that time. The “Pathfinder” part of the name was dropped after a couple of years, and it’s been the Nissan Armada ever since—a full-size SUV with bold power and gorgeous looks. When you come to us looking for a Nissan Armada for sale, you’ll discover that it’s all-new and fully redesigned for 2025, launching a third generation with stunning new features and options. These remarkable options include five different trim levels that you should consider, giving you the freedom to find everything you’re looking for in your next SUV. Let’s take a good look at each of these trims and figure out which one will provide you with the vehicle you deserve.

2025 Nissan Armada SV: Fantastic Starting Features

When considering what any vehicle offers, it’s always best to start with the standard features since they showcase the foundation that everything else builds upon. The starting Nissan Armada trim is the SV, which features a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 425 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This is fantastic power for a full-size SUV like this, and it makes the Armada incredibly fun to drive; rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard with four-wheel drive (4×4) available.

You’ll find 18-inch wheels on the base SV trim, along with LED headlights. The SV comes with remote-activated perimeter/approach lighting with puddle lights that are perfect for safely getting into or out of your vehicle at night. Inside the SV, you’ll find a 12.3-inch NissanConnect infotainment system paired with a 12.3-inch multi-functional LCD instrument cluster display and a six-speaker sound system. Leatherette seating is standard with an eight-way power driver’s seat, plus you get room inside for eight passengers across three rows of seats in the SV trim.

Every 2025 Armada comes with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of driver-assistance features that includes Intelligent Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking mitigation. It also comes with Pedestrian Detection and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking; plus, you get Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and ProPILOT Assist 1.0 hands-on, all standard. All of this comes together to make every Armada incredibly safe and fun to drive, day after day.

2025 Nissan Armada SL: Upgrades Inside and Out

Moving up to the SL trim gets you a number of upgrades and enhancements to improve your experience with the Nissan Armada. On the outside, you’ll find larger 20-inch wheels that look stunning and provide a bolder, more aggressive stance for this full-size SUV. The rear liftgate on the SL includes power open/close and can be controlled with the keyfob so you can easily open the door to access the cargo area. You also get power-folding side mirrors that are heated and include turn-signal indicators to make it easier for others to know when you’re turning.

Inside, the Armada SL features the same 12.3-inch displays, but you get a stunning 12-speaker Klipsch Premium sound system for incredible audio that elevates your time on the road each day. NissanConnect Navigation with voice activation is included with the SL trim, featuring real-time traffic and weather displays. Plus, you get a wireless charging pad up front. You get heated front seats in the Armada SL, with two-way power lumbar for the driver’s seat, TailorFit seating for added comfort, and a heated steering wheel. Although eight-passenger seating is standard for this trim, you can choose a pair of second-row captain’s chairs instead for seven-passenger seating and greater comfort for the folks in the second row.

2025 Nissan Armada Platinum: Refined Features and Luxury

Moving now to the Platinum trim, you get a beautifully sophisticated driving experience that includes numerous enhancements for the Armada. The rear liftgate will open automatically when you approach with the keyfob for simple, hands-free use, and you’ll find a panoramic moonroof over the first and second rows. The Platinum trim comes with LED fog lights and looks stunning overall. You also get a 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor that gives you a virtual look around your vehicle for added safety while maneuvering at low speeds. Inside the Platinum, the first thing you’ll notice is the massive 14.3-inch NissanConnect infotainment display joined by a second 14.3-inch multi-function screen for the instrument cluster. You get the Klipsch sound system here, plus heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and quilted leather seating that looks and feels amazing.

2025 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve: Taking Luxury to the Next Level

As remarkable as the Platinum trim is, it’s not even the pinnacle option for the 2025 Armada; that honor goes to the Platinum Reserve, which takes things to the next level. For starters, you get incredible 22-inch wheels on this trim for a powerful stance that lets you dominate the road, along with the panoramic moonroof that you’d expect at this point. A built-in trailer brake controller is standard on this trim to let you take advantage of its 8,500 lbs of towing capacity, and you can get available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 for hands-free driving on compatible roads. Inside, the Platinum Reserve gives you the 14.3-inch displays, the Klipsch sound system, and quilted leather seats with massage functionality for the front row. Seven-passenger seating is standard for the Platinum and Platinum Reserve trims, though eight-row seating is available.

2025 Nissan Armada PRO-4X: First-Ever Off-Road Capability

If you’re more interested in an adventurous full-size SUV that’s ready to help you embrace an outdoor lifestyle, the first-ever Armada PRO-4X is the trim you need to check out. This option comes with the same engine as the other Armada trims, but you get an adaptive air suspension for added comfort on and off the road, plus an electronic locking rear differential to help you handle the toughest terrain out there. Underbody metal skid plates are included with the PRO-4X to help protect its underside when the trail gets rough, and you get 20-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, as opposed to the all-season tires that other trims come with.

As you might guess, 4×4 is standard for this trim (it’s not available with RWD), including a switch-operated two-speed transfer case that lets you handle whatever the trail throws at you. Inside, you’ll find the larger 14.3-inch screens, plus the PRO-4X includes special off-road gauges that let you keep track of pitch, roll, tire angle, and more information that you need off-road. The interior is also incredibly comfortable thanks to quilted leather seating, with available heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. The distinct Lava Red accents inside the PRO-4X take style to the next level, reminding you that you have a vehicle unlike anything else out there, ready to take you wherever you dream to go.
