Nissan Armada Gain Historic Patrol Nameplate for 2027

The historic Patrol nameplate will be introduced to Canadian buyers in 2027… sort of. Nissan is adding the name as a trim level on the Armada, not changing the big SUV’s name altogether.

What we in North America know as the Armada, many other parts of the world better recognize as the Patrol. And while there’s nothing wrong with the name Armada, it doesn’t have the historical significance of Patrol, which has been around for 75 years, and was the name attached to the first Nissan-branded vehicle ever sold in the U.S.

"Patrol has built an incredible legacy around the world over the past 75 years, and bringing the name to Canada connects Armada to that history," said Steve Rhind, President of Nissan Canada.

The way that Nissan will bring the name to Canada is by adding it to its rugged off-road trim. So, for 2027, the trim will be known as the Armada Patrol Pro-4X.

As ever, the model will benefit from an electronic locking rear differential, adaptive air suspension, all-terrain tires, eight drive modes, underbody skid plates, and a camera that helps drivers see what’s immediately in front of the vehicle, seemingly under their hood. Buyers will also be able to select from a variety of dealer installed accessories, such as rock sliders and Nismo Axis wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.

Prices for the 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol Pro-4X start at $99,772, including non-negotiable fees, which amount to $2,974. Otherwise, the Armada lineup remains much the same for the upcoming model year, though prices creep upward by $250 at the bottom of the lineup and nearly $1,000 for the Armada Nismo.
