Last month, Australian outlet Drive reported on quotes from Nissan’s Global Head of Product Strategy and Planning, Ivan Spinosa, confirming their Nissan Patrol SUV (our Armada) would drop the V8 engine in favor of a twin-turbo V6. Spinosa didn't give a timeline for the switch. For our market, all we know is that the switch won't come at the beginning of the 2024 model year. Nissan outed specs and prices for the 2024 Armada, and the big SUV is a carryover for the new year save for a trim change and resulting price increase.
The base S trim is no more, cranking up the entry-level Armada price by $4,750 compared to current 2023 Armada pricing. Once you digest that, the leftover price increase is a paltry $150 for the entire lineup in either two- or four-wheel drive. MSRPs for the two-wheel drive trims after the $1,895 destination fee are:
SV: $55,450
SL: $59,270
Platinum: $67,520
