For 2027, Nissan brings back the Patrol name on Armada, but steep price hike comes with Premium package
Patrol name returns to the U.S.
For 2027, Nissan has renamed the Armada’s off-road trim the Armada Patrol Pro-4X. The Patrol name last appeared in the United States in 1969, when the second-generation model was sold through Datsun dealerships as the first Nissan-badged vehicle in the country.
Price rises with package included
The Armada Patrol Pro-4X is priced at $81,265, which is $4,690 more than before. For 2027, the Premium package is standard; it cost $2,780 for the 2026 model. The second-generation Armada, introduced in 2017, has essentially been a rebadged version of the Patrol sold overseas.
Badges and optional NISMO equipment
A Patrol badge appears across the SUV’s rear, while the Armada name is printed on its D-pillar. Inside, the center console carries badges reading “Patrol” and “Since 1951.” New optional equipment includes NISMO rock sliders and a NISMO roof rack. Buyers can also choose NISMO Axis wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
Core equipment carries over
Beyond the changes, the Pro-4X remains unchanged. It retains an electronic locking rear differential, adaptive air suspension and a metal underbody skid plate. The twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 continues to produce 425 horsepower and send power to all four wheels.
