NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With its combination of rugged capability, available safety features and year-round versatility, the all-new 2025 Nissan Armada has been named Best-In-Class Full-Size SUV in the 2025 New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) Winter Vehicle Awards.
Redesigned from the ground up and engineered to perform in all conditions, the Armada impressed NEMPA judges with its bold styling, powerful twin-turbo V6 engine and confidence-inspiring technologies tailored for winter driving. This award underscores Nissan’s commitment to building vehicles that meet the demands of real-world families across a range of environments.
“What a vehicle. The refinement and rush of torque from the turbocharged V6, paired with a quick-shifting transmission and an expertly tuned air suspension that eliminates body lean, is only the start of the Armada's many accolades,” said Clifford Atiyeh, president of the New England Motor Press Association. “Nissan really stepped up the interior with attractive colors and quality finishes, especially on the Platinum Reserve.”
NEMPA is the only automotive press association that formally conducts cold-weather testing. Eligible vehicles for the NEMPA Winter Vehicle Awards undergo extensive testing across New England’s harshest winter months. Judges evaluate performance, safety and overall suitability for cold-weather driving.
The 2025 Armada comes equipped with a suite of available safety and driver-assist technologies, including Nissan Safety Shield® 360, Intelligent Around View® Monitor, Intelligent Cruise Control, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. Its available Intelligent 4x4 system, snow mode, and robust towing capacity1 make it a dependable companion for winter travel and beyond.
With seating for up to eight, a refined and spacious interior, and a commanding presence on the road, the 2025 Armada blends strength and sophistication—making it a top choice for families who value comfort, capability, and confidence in any season.
