Bought my first Armada in January 2004, three months after its inital debut. Twenty-one years later, i just may be getting this bad boy!! Love the look if this.❤

[@saleemjavaid8870]

I remember in 2004 the Armada coming out and looked like an impressive beast. Back then Tahoe, Expedition were so boring and had no looks to them at all. I use to love the short hood and boxier back or earlier armada. I currently have a 2022 pathfinder and I see subtle DNA of armada and earlier Xterra in the new pathfinder.

[@dboogiewoogieone]

​@saleemjavaid8870 I have a 2015 Pathfinder...so far no problems. The 2022's are cool

[@TacoMonster4eva]

Please don’t. Nissan is going bankrupt because his horrible reliability. The old cars were good, but newer ones are horrendous.

@@Humankind-ns2qb First off its not available here in the USA as yet under the Armada badge, second not because something is nice and you like it means you have to own one, third its expensive, fourth there are other priorities in life, fifth when its available I'll give it a year before I make that investment, 6th the USA economy is unstable.

Maybe because the last and new gen are based off the Nissan Patrol, but I've always felt the Armada was more luxurious and refined compared to the Sequoia. The Sequoia gives me Volkswagen Atlas vibes where it's made specifically for the NA market compared to the Touareg, akin to Sequoia vs Land Cruiser which is a global product.

I like the design. It would be nice if these car companies would work in some sort of hood or surround around these large instrument panel screens. The interior does look great.

[@Ryan2022]

They were doing that, but they moved away in favor of these very wide LCD’s so that seems to be the design trend of choice right now without any sort of surround

[@DesertStateInEU]

See this is what automakers don't seem to understand. We don't care if a tiny V6 or 4 cylinder or whatever makes as much power, or more power, than a V8. We DON'T care. We don't want tiny overstressed engines even if they have high HP, cause they'll fall apart the moment the warranty runs out. We want low revving 6 liter V8s that will last a long time.

[@Xrpxlm7]

But does the new armada have a stressed engine? Doesn't seem like it

@@weirdshibainu Their sales were so bad and the current full size truck segment is so competitive that's they would never risk the investment. As it stands, many oems are having trouble selling full size trucks. Lots of inventory on the lots and lot rot. Even their Frontier sales are down with excessive inventory levels to the point they are reducing production at the Canton plant in Miss. And that is a decent mid size. There is zero chance that Nissan's' very conservative management would venture back to full size. Zero. Only reason we still have the armada is it a big seller in Australia as the Patrol. If not for that the Armada would have died along with the Titan. You better believe it.

[@Mike-In-O-Town]

I must say that this new Armada is brawny and beautiful. Im a gm guy and it looks like the 2015-2020 generation gmc yukon ( my fave). Interior is gorgeous on this Armada as is the space. The bad… a twin turbo V6. Wish there was the old V8. Out of the competition’s twin Turbos the nissan would get my vote as it just looks amazing and powerful from the exterior.

[@HiPlains1]

I have allot more trust with Nissan engines then with Toyota's failed attempt at induction. Nissan just doesn't make bad motors. And the Daimler benz 9 speed is proven. Its roots go back to around 2013. I'm not convinced GM has fixed their transmission and lifter issues. The 5.3 and 6.2 from around 2006 or older were such great motors. It's nice GM still offers the V8 but with cylinder deactivation that's a hard pass. I do believe they offer baby max diesel as an option and that is a decent engine Their 2.7 turbo is also a good design. But if you end up with a lemon from GM the service and support is really bad. So many have left that brand over the years.

[@marcinfil3673]

@@craigshort1421 you are right. It is highly inspired by it adopting it's concepts. "To accomplish this, engineers leaned on their decades of experience developing cutting-edge powertrains. "Within Nissan's development team, there is a treasure trove of knowledge," said Sho Takahashi, senior manager in Nissan's Engine Engineering Department. "We didn't just build a powerful engine - we created a solution that meets the needs of today's drivers, whether they're adventuring off-road or navigating everyday commutes." For example, to help reduce engine noise even while increasing output, the team equipped the turbochargers with a small groove at the entrance to the compressor. Based on technology first used in the Japanese-market Skyline, the feature decreases turbulence and stalling in the compressor entry, resulting in a 4dB reduction in turbo noise - a noticeable difference for the average human ear. "This proprietary technology is the culmination of years of Nissan innovation," said Takahashi, who has been with Nissan since 2004. "It highlights how we're continuously pushing boundaries to deliver quieter, more efficient and more powerful vehicles to our customers." "

[@dougmcfee8351]

You miss the point, we don’t care about more power and more torque at 2000 rpm’s 99.9% of the time. We don’t want a $10,000 turbo repair bill at 100,000 miles.

[@THQNetwork]

Turbos aren’t 10k lmao maybe half of that at most. At 2,000 rpm you will still feel the torque due to it being twin turbo(smaller turbo spools up first). As long as you stay on top of regular maintenance you shouldn’t have turbo issues for at least 150k miles.

[@aonforme3349]

​@@THQNetworkI'm sure that was not to be taken literally at 10k. Just the idea of problems/repairs all too soon. Some of us in the industry know well the expense of replacing a turbo(s), depending on how they are designed/installed.

Just when the redesigned Armada and Expedition were starting to catch up, they did a big refresh for 2025 and set the bar higher. The Tahoe's only serious competition is the Yukon, so GM is winning either way. If there is one thing GM is good at, it's making full size SUVs.

Ford Expedition is comfortably in the #2 spot, and they are getting a redesign this year too. Everyone else is fighting for a distant #3. That said, this is a nice effort by Nissan.
