Ivan Espinosa, Nissan’s senior vice president of global product strategy and product planning, also revealed the V8 will be replaced by a new twin-turbo V6.
I’ve always found it inexplicable that Nissan didn’t link the Armada to the Patrol once the Armada became Y62 based in 2017.
The Patrol is a legend and even in the Y62 gen, you see plenty of respectable comparison reviews with the Land Cruiser 200 series in international publications. The Armada…well you see its rep in this thread.
With the off road/overlanding segment exploding soon after its intro, it would have seemed natural. Ideally sell an edition with the Patrol bumpers and rear differential to take care of the Armadas comparative weaknesses.
