The recent facelift left the full-size SUV without technical upgrades, but Nissan Senior Product Planning Manager believes the situation will change in the future.
Specifically, he said the new Nissan Armada would ship with the same nine-speed automatic transmission as the titan pickup truck. He did not specify when, so we assume he could be talking about the next generation.
The latest mid-generational refresh left the Armada with its old 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8, albeit boosted by 11 hp to 400 hp (406 PS / 300 kW) and by 26 Nm to 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque. A seven-speed auto gearbox delivers the momentum to either the rear wheels or all four via a transfer case.
