The redesigned 2025 Nissan Armada is a far more well-rounded and impressive SUV than in years past. It boasts helpful technology features, an easy-to-drive nature despite its size, and a spacious third-row seat. The Pro-4X version is remarkably comfortable over every type of terrain too. If you need a big SUV, take a hard look at this one.

2025 Nissan Armada Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

7/8/2025

Full-size SUVs are great for carrying lots of people, hauling lots of cargo, and towing lots of weight. The redesigned 2025 Nissan Armada tackles those tasks and looks good doing it. With seating for up to eight people, substantially more cargo space than a Nissan Pathfinder, and an 8,500-pound towing capacity, the new Armada checks the critical boxes for this type of vehicle. You can also upgrade to a dedicated off-road version or a luxurious model loaded with the latest Nissan technologies. And thanks to a new turbocharged V6 engine, the 2025 Armada is more fuel-efficient than its V8-powered predecessors.

Edmunds spotlight: Defining the ProPilot Assist differences

Nissan offers three different versions of its ProPilot Assist driving assistance technology in the 2025 Armada. The SV and Pro-4X trim levels have the most basic version, which employs the adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance systems to provide semi-autonomous driving assistance as long as drivers keep their hands on the steering wheel. ProPilot Assist 1.1 is standard in other Armadas. It considers data from the navigation system and can automatically reduce the SUV's speed for curves and freeway interchanges. ProPilot Assist 2.1 is optional with the SL, Platinum and Platinum Reserve trim levels. It is a hands-free version of the technology but doesn't work if the driver is distracted.

Competitors to consider

Compared to its full-size SUV rivals, the new Armada offers appealing design, competitive trailering capacity, acceptable fuel economy, usable cargo space and solid value. It's not a standout, but it also doesn't stumble in any way. So, if you need a vehicle like this and want to drive something different from the usual Chevy Tahoe or Ford Expedition, check out the new Nissan Armada. Just remember that the Chevy and Ford are more accommodating, the Jeep Wagoneer tows more weight, and the Toyota Sequoia is more fuel-efficient.

Which Armada does Edmunds recommend?

For the best blend of value and equipment, we think the Armada SL is the one to buy. It provides upgrades you'll appreciate every day without equipping the SUV with unnecessary extras. Add four-wheel drive and second-row captain's chairs, and it remains reasonably priced among competitors.
