Model Review: 2027 Nissan Armada

2027 Nissan Armada: A Full-Size SUV for Life in Montgomery

School drop-offs, grocery runs, and weekend trips can all call for a different kind of space. The 2027 Nissan Armada brings three rows of seating, a twin-turbo V6, and flexible cargo room together in a full-size SUV. Whether you need room for a growing family or want to bring a trailer along for the weekend, the Armada gives you configurations worth exploring.

The lineup includes SL, Platinum, PRO-4X, NISMO, and Platinum Reserve trims. SL offers a choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, while the other trims come with four-wheel drive. From the off-road-focused PRO-4X to the performance-oriented NISMO, each has a different personality. Explore new Nissan SUVs with Jack Ingram Nissan to find the combination that fits your routine.

Interior: Three Rows With Room to Adapt

The Armada seats seven with standard second-row captain’s chairs. An available second-row bench increases capacity to eight on SL, Platinum, PRO-4X, and Platinum Reserve. NISMO comes with seven-passenger seating. Consider whether the extra seating position or the space between captain’s chairs is more useful for your household.

The standard EZ FLEX second-row seating system includes one-touch release to help passengers reach the third row. A standard 60/40 split third-row seat folds into the floor with power and remote one-touch operation, making it easier to adjust the cabin when a passenger trip turns into a cargo run.

Interior Dimensions and Cargo Space

• Front legroom: 43.8 inches
• Second-row legroom: 39.2 inches
• Third-row legroom: 32.9 inches
• Cargo volume behind the third row: 20.4 cubic feet
• Cargo volume with the third row folded: 56.3 cubic feet
• Cargo volume with the second and third rows folded: 97.1 cubic feet

That range of space can accommodate everyday bags with all three rows in use or larger items when you fold seats. If you regularly carry a stroller, sports equipment, or a full load of passengers, bring your gear along when you evaluate the cabin.

Comfort for the Daily Drive

Standard front Zero Gravity seats and tri-zone automatic temperature control help make the cabin accommodating on short drives and longer trips. Heated front seats are standard, while heated and cooled front seats are standard on Platinum and Platinum Reserve and available on PRO-4X through the optional PRO-4X Premium Package. Heated second-row seats are standard on Platinum and Platinum Reserve and available with that PRO-4X package.

Exterior: Confident Proportions and Practical Details

The Armada’s size contributes to its spacious cabin, but it is worth considering where you park and drive. SL, Platinum, PRO-4X, and Platinum Reserve measure 209.6 inches long; NISMO measures 210.9 inches. All have a 121.1-inch wheelbase and measure 79.9 inches wide without mirrors, or 92.5 inches with mirrors open. Overall height ranges from 76.6 to 78.0 inches, depending on trim.

Check your garage opening and available parking space before choosing a configuration. Standard LED headlights help illuminate the road, and the liftgate makes loading more convenient: SL and PRO-4X have a power liftgate, while a motion-activated liftgate is standard on Platinum, NISMO, and Platinum Reserve and available on PRO-4X.

Styling and Available Colors

For 2027, the available Dark Armor Package adds a darker look to the SL. It includes black 20-inch wheels, dark exterior accents and badging, black leatherette seats, and a panoramic moonroof. PRO-4X takes a different approach with a distinctive front bumper, Lava Red tow hooks, and a metal underbody skid plate. NISMO features its own fascias, grille, over-fenders, and rear spoiler.

Available colors include Alpine Metallic, Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, Super Black, Black Diamond Pearl, Gun Metallic, Everest White TriCoat, Aspen White TriCoat, and select two-tone combinations. Stealth Gray is available exclusively on NISMO. Color availability varies by trim and configuration, so ask the dealership about the combination you prefer.

Performance: V6 Power and Towing Capability

Every 2027 Nissan Armada uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters. SL, Platinum, PRO-4X, and Platinum Reserve are rated at 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. NISMO increases output to 460 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, also based on premium fuel.

Premium fuel is required for NISMO. The other trims require regular unleaded and recommend premium. If you are comparing new Nissan SUVs for frequent highway trips or towing, both output and fuel requirements are useful details to discuss with your sales representative.

Towing and Four-Wheel-Drive Options

When properly equipped, the Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds. A Class IV hitch receiver, trailer wiring harness, Trailer Sway Control, and Trailer Back-up Assist are standard. An integrated trailer brake controller is standard on PRO-4X, NISMO, and Platinum Reserve; SL and Platinum include pre-wiring for a controller. Towing capacity varies by configuration, and passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight affect how much you can carry.

For drivers who expect to leave the pavement, PRO-4X combines standard four-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, an electronic locking rear differential, and underbody protection. It also includes standard Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension. NISMO, by contrast, emphasizes on-road performance with NISMO-tuned suspension and steering. Four-wheel drive can help in changing conditions, but it does not replace attentive driving or appropriate tires.

Technology: Connected for the Trip

The SL pairs a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display. Platinum, PRO-4X, NISMO, and Platinum Reserve use larger 14.3-inch versions of both displays. The screens give the driver a place to check vehicle information and use infotainment features without relying on a separate device for every task.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, as is a wireless phone charging pad. Available Google built-in brings services such as Google Maps and Google Assistant to the dashboard, while the standard Klipsch 12-speaker audio adds another option for enjoying the drive. Some connected features require activation, a subscription, compatible devices, or network availability. If several people will use the vehicle, try connecting your phones and setting up your preferred apps during a visit. It is a practical way to see how the Armada’s technology fits your family’s everyday habits.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Armada includes standard driver-assistance features designed to support awareness in traffic, on the highway, and while backing up. Nissan Safety Shield 360® is standard, and the specifications also list the following systems across the lineup:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: Can help respond to certain detected obstacles
• Blind Spot Warning: Alerts the driver to detected vehicles in the blind-spot area
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Provides alerts when traffic is detected while reversing
• Lane Departure Warning: Alerts the driver when the vehicle may be leaving its lane
• Rear Automatic Braking: Can help respond to certain detected objects while backing up

These systems have limitations and cannot replace an attentive driver. Front and rear sonar sensors are standard, and camera views, including Invisible Hood View and Front Wide View, can help when maneuvering. Platinum Reserve also includes ProPILOT Assist 2.1; a customer-activated NissanConnect Services subscription is required.
