A new design, a smaller yet more powerful engine, and a naval fleet’s worth of technology are all part of this next-gen Armada’s arsenal. And yet, off to landlocked Tennessee we flew for a First Drive in and around the city of Franklin; and that included some off-roading in the new PRO-4X trim.

Just like every new car this has more screens and less engine.
Looks like the front of the escalade 2 or 3 generations ago. Nissan why cant you design a good looking truck?
Getting rid of a reliable V8 for Nissan technology and twin turbos. I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10-foot Pole. Repair shops are going to be busy
turbo v6 ends the conversation right there. These auto makers need to stop this nonsense
I hope Nissan rights their ship fast enough to survive the next year. Get rid of your CVTs and focus on durability and longevity, Nissan.
Does it come with night vision? 😀
That thing’s crazy!
The car nobody asked for.
Nissan has “raised the bar” too late in the game. With losses mounting and slowing sales, Nissan leadership announced major cuts across the board on November 7. 2024. Production of the Rogue and Frontier, both produced in the U.S., is going to be drastically reduced. Describing the situation as “emergency mode,” Nissan is implementing an aggressive series of cutbacks to stave off further losses.
"I'm not cheating" But ALL my attention is on the windshield 😜
VR35 you say 👀.
Hideous, but that’s pretty all full size suv nowadays. This wont stand a chance against Sequoia, Yukon/Suburban or even Telluride
I don't understand why cars are getting bigger and bigger, why trucks, SUVs and off-roads don't generally have diesel engines. Diesel engines are more efficient and deliver more torque.
At $80k, is there a need for an Infiniti variant??
Looks exactly like kia telluride
0:38
looks terrible
why not just make a smaller V8 instead of a high strung turbo 6… I predict these, much like the new toyota V6 turbo, will be blowing themselves up around 50k miles…
Nissan No.1❤
GTR based motor and the 9 speed probably from Mercedes Benz
As a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser owner, with the ever-reliable V8 and minimal bells and whistles, I would definitely consider this new Armada over theToyota offering if mine disappeared one night. I'll be curious to see one once they hit the local dealer. But, unless mine gets stolen, at 72 years old, the LC200 will likely outlast me. Well done Nissan!

My favorite SUV
Unfortunately, styling looks derivative and already dated, inside and out.
Isn’t Nissan practically bankrupt?!? 🤷🏼♂️
Made in Japan
It’s ugly and these comments have to be fake
Knowing the durability of the nissan gtr i believe nissan has done their homework with this one ,
These garbage trucks are $80000 or more-just going to sit on the lot-another home run-good bye Nissan.
I'm so tired of off-road vehicles being equipped with 20 inch wheels. They should have 17 inch wheels; 18 inches at the largest. More sidewall is better and reduces the risk of popping a tire on a trail.
good looking. seems to be well sorted.
I have a friend who likes the Armada, but he refuses to buy it without a V8.
Nissan Armada GTR… got it 👍🏾
Nissan is in trouble if they’re looking for a merger with Honda…
built in japan, sold!!!
No wonder Nissan is in trouble…they are bothering to replace a vehicle with under 20,000 sales in the US.
The Patrol and GTR big baby! And he didn’t mention the massaging seats you can get on the Pro-4X and adjustable 4” ride height. That’s incredible 😊
Have they seen the Ev9 or Telluride
That is what a next generation vehicle should be, I feel sorry for anyone who bought anything last year.
