Nissan Armada Sets Torque Record with New Twin-Turbo V6

The 2025 Nissan Armada introduces a groundbreaking twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers an impressive 516 lb-ft of torque, setting a new record for Nissan's production engines. This significant 103 lb-ft increase over its V8 predecessor marks a leap forward in SUV performance and versatility.


Engineered for both off-road adventures and efficient family transport, the new Armada combines power with practicality, boasting a towing capacity of up to 8,500 lbs. The advanced powertrain produces 425 horsepower and is paired with a new 9-speed automatic transmission for smoother power delivery.


Innovative Engineering Enhances Performance and Efficiency


Nissan's engineering team has incorporated cutting-edge technologies to achieve this remarkable performance. A small groove at the turbocharger's compressor entrance, inspired by the Japanese-market Skyline, reduces turbo noise by 4dB. The twin-turbo system utilizes Mar-M, a nickel-based superalloy typically found in jet engines, for the turbine wheels, ensuring exceptional durability under extreme conditions.


"This proprietary technology is the culmination of years of Nissan innovation," said Sho Takahashi, senior manager in Nissan's Engine Engineering Department. "It highlights how we're continuously pushing boundaries to deliver quieter, more efficient and more powerful vehicles to our customers."


The 2025 Armada also features a GT-R-inspired "scavenger" oil pump, designed to maintain optimal lubrication during high g-force driving. This system, crucial for the Nissan Patrol's desert performance, underscores the Armada's versatility across diverse terrains.


Rigorous Testing and Environmental Considerations


Nissan's commitment to reliability is evident in the extensive testing conducted across 13 U.S. states, ensuring consistent performance in varied climates. Dave Kiesel, manager in the Powertrain Performance Group, emphasized the importance of this process: "We confirmed the new engine in all these locations and temperatures multiple times during development. There are many design and calibration items specifically used to ensure performance for the U.S."


The engineering team has also focused on fuel efficiency, implementing increased fuel pressure and longer piston strokes. These enhancements, combined with a redesigned engine optimizing air and fuel flow, demonstrate Nissan's dedication to balancing performance with reduced emissions.


With its record-breaking torque, innovative engineering, and commitment to efficiency, the 2025 Nissan Armada sets a new standard for full-size SUVs. As it prepares to hit the market, this powerhouse promises to deliver an unparalleled driving experience for both everyday commutes and adventurous excursions.
