Nissan Armada's New Engine:  GT-R Inspired Technology Delivers Record-Setting Torque

The 2025 Nissan Armada introduces a new twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 516 lb-ft of torque, a 103 lb-ft increase over the previous V8 model. This new powertrain combines increased performance with improved efficiency, catering to diverse driving needs from off-road adventures to family commutes.


Enhanced Performance and Efficiency


At the heart of the 2025 Armada is a 425-horsepower engine that utilizes technology inspired by Nissan's GT-R and Skyline models. The twin-turbo system features a proprietary design that reduces turbo noise by 4dB, enhancing the driving experience. The turbine wheels are crafted from Mar-M, a heat-resistant superalloy, ensuring durability under extreme conditions.


The new engine incorporates a "scavenger" oil pump, a first in its class, to improve lubrication during high g-force driving. Engineers have also fine-tuned the 9-speed automatic transmission with adjusted gear ratios for smooth power delivery. These enhancements contribute to the Armada's impressive 8,500-pound towing capacity.


Innovative Engineering and Rigorous Testing


Nissan's development team leveraged decades of experience to create an engine that meets modern driving demands. The powertrain underwent extensive testing across 13 states in North America, ensuring consistent performance in varied climates and conditions.


Fuel efficiency improvements come from increased fuel pressure and longer piston strokes, while electric intake valve timing enhances throttle response. These advancements allow the Armada to deliver more power with reduced emissions, aligning with Nissan's commitment to performance and environmental responsibility.
