2025 Nissan Armada & Murano Named Among Newsweek’s Most Anticipated New Cars

Nissan continues to shine with two of its latest models that are already capturing the attention of industry critics and eager consumers alike. The all-new 2025 Nissan Armada and the 2025 Nissan Murano have earned a coveted spot on Newsweek’s “Most Anticipated New Vehicles of 2025” list, a recognition that underscores Nissan's forward-thinking approach to design, technology, and performance. These two models—each a distinct offering in Nissan’s lineup—reflect a harmonious balance of innovation and sophistication tailored to meet the demands of modern drivers.

A New Era for the Armada: Capability Meets Technology

The all-new 2025 Nissan Armada sets a new standard in the full-size SUV segment, with an array of advanced features and a striking redesign that redefines what drivers can expect from an off-road vehicle. Central to the Armada's appeal is its capability: the introduction of the Armada’s first PRO-4X grade is a game-changer for those who crave adventure off the beaten path. With robust enhancements like skid plates, all-terrain tires, and an electronic locking rear differential, the Armada is engineered to tackle rugged terrains and new landscapes with confidence.

Under the hood, Nissan has outfitted the Armada with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, combining direct injection with robust performance to deliver higher horsepower and torque than its predecessor. This powerful setup gives the Armada an impressive towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds, making it a versatile choice for both family journeys and recreational pursuits.

Technology is woven seamlessly into the new Armada, enhancing convenience and safety. Nissan's ProPILOT Assist 2.1 brings hands-off assistance technology to the SUV, delivering a smoother, safer freeway driving experience through semi-autonomous features. Inside the cabin, the Armada offers a dual 14.3-inch screen setup, complete with Google built-in, creating a seamless digital experience for both driver and passengers. Nissan’s Invisible Hood View camera technology provides an added layer of awareness, making maneuvering in tight spaces and difficult terrains easier and safer. Further amplifying the in-car experience, the exclusive 12-speaker Klipsch® Premium Audio System transforms the Armada into a moving concert hall, enveloping passengers in high-quality sound.

A Refined and Tranquil Journey with the 2025 Nissan Murano

The all-new 2025 Nissan Murano, too, delivers a significant leap forward in terms of style, comfort, and premium features. Building on Nissan’s “energetic elegance” design language, the Murano presents a sleek, modern exterior, enhanced by eye-catching 21-inch wheels and LED tail lights that stretch dramatically across the rear of the vehicle. It’s a visual statement that balances boldness with elegance.

Inside, Nissan has crafted a sanctuary-like space where every detail enhances comfort and relaxation. From soft-touch materials to finely crafted finishes, the interior of the Murano is as refined as it is functional. With its dual 12.3-inch displays, available massaging front seats, and ambient 64-color lighting, the Murano’s cabin is a haven of luxury. This premium design is further complemented by a 10-speaker Bose® sound system, delivering an immersive audio experience.

Technologically, the 2025 Murano does not disappoint. Equipped with Google built-in, the SUV offers unparalleled connectivity, turning everyday errands into effortless experiences. Safety and visibility are also prioritized with the inclusion of HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor and Invisible Hood View camera technology, which make parking and navigation easier and safer, regardless of surroundings.
