Families depend on full-size SUVs to deliver power, space, and above all—protection. The all-new 2025 Nissan Armada rises to that challenge and more, earning the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation—the highest possible safety rating—under the organization’s newly updated and more rigorous crash testing criteria.
This recognition is a direct reflection of Nissan’s unwavering commitment to safety. According to Vinay Shahani, senior vice president of U.S. marketing and sales at Nissan Americas, “Families count on full-size SUVs for protection – the all-new Armada delivers that when it matters most.”
Rigorously Tested for Today’s Roads
The 2025 Armada excelled under the IIHS’s strengthened standards, including an updated moderate overlap front crash test. This version adds a second dummy behind the driver to simulate injury risk to a small adult or child in the second row. To qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must receive top marks in this and other assessments, including:
- Small overlap front crash test
- Updated side-impact test
- Pedestrian front crash prevention
- Headlight quality evaluation
The Armada passed with flying colors, earning “Good” ratings across the board and showing that it doesn’t just look rugged—it’s built for real-world safety.
Off-Road Ready, Family Friendly
Beyond its safety accolades, the 2025 Nissan Armada introduces refined capability and innovation, beginning with its first-ever PRO-4X grade. This off-road-focused model comes equipped with Intelligent 4WD, a locking rear differential, Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension, and all-terrain tires—engineered to conquer tough terrain while maintaining a smooth ride.
With eight drive modes (including Snow, Mud/Rut, and Rock), Hill Descent Control, and advanced camera tech like Invisible Hood View and the 3D Intelligent Around View® Monitor, Armada PRO-4X offers confidence whether you’re cruising the freeway or forging a new path.
Power That Performs
Under the hood, the Armada now features a new twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering an impressive 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque—a significant upgrade over the previous V8. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds, the Armada is as capable hauling the family camper as it is navigating tight city streets.
For added towing peace of mind, available Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring enhances awareness while trailering, and the Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension adjusts ride height for comfort, cargo, or improved aerodynamics.
Spacious, Stylish, and Smart
Inside, the 2025 Armada boasts a premium, tech-forward cabin with dual 12.3-inch (or optional 14.3-inch) displays, available quilted leather-appointed seating, massaging front seats, and 64-color ambient lighting. A refreshed layout improves legroom in all three rows, while expanded cargo space—up to 97.1 cu. ft. behind the first row—makes it easier to bring along everything needed for the journey ahead.
Noteworthy comfort features include available second-row captain’s chairs, Biometric Cooling (which uses infrared sensors to direct airflow where it’s needed most), and thoughtful design elements like a hidden rear wiper and full-width LED tail lamp for a sleek, modern appearance.
With bold new styling, advanced off-road features, class-leading safety, and a thoughtful interior, the 2025 Nissan Armada redefines what a full-size SUV can be.
