The Nissan Armada could ditch its V-8 engine in favor of a more fuel-efficient V-6 when it’s redesigned, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
Citing a dealer source, Automotive News<\/em><\/a> (subscription required) reported on Tuesday that a redesigned Armada is due in late 2023 and will feature a twin-turbocharged V-6 as opposed to the current model’s 5.6-liter V-8.<\/p>\n It’s a move many of its rivals have already made, with the redesigned 2023 Toyota Sequoia<\/a> being the most recent of the big SUVs to downsize to a V-6, albeit with hybrid technology as well.<\/p>\n Although not mentioned in the report, any change planned for the Armada will also likely affect the Patrol, the nameplate the Armada uses outside the U.S.<\/p>\n The current Armada was launched here in 2016 as a 2017 model, but it’s been on sale elsewhere in Patrol guise since 2010, so a redesign soon isn’t out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n The report comes as Nissan prepares to scale back development of internal-combustion engines<\/a> in some markets on the road to a full-electric lineup. The automaker this week confirmed that it will stop developing internal-combustion engines for the European market following the introduction of Euro 7 emissions standards, currently expected in 2025. Instead, Nissan will focus on EV investments. Nissan and its alliance partners Renault and Mitsubishi announced in January they will invest more than $25 billion on electrification over the next five years and launch a combined 35 EVs by 2030<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Nissan Armada could ditch its V-8 engine in favor of a more fuel-efficient V-6 when it’s redesigned, according to a new report.
