For the first time, the Patrol badge is back in the United States! Nissan has officially renamed the 2027 Armada PRO-4X model to the Patrol PRO-4X, channeling the SUV’s legendary off-road heritage. This aligns the Armada with 75 years’ worth of history and adventure. At the same time, it officially ties both models together as one vehicle.
Starting at a $81,265, the 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol PRO-4X starts below the NISMO and above the Platinum. It serves as the off-road-focused model competing against the likes of the Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, Ford Expedition Tremor, and Chevrolet Tahoe Z71. Under the hood, the Armada Patrol PRO-4X uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 425 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission comes standard. Meanwhile, towing capacity maxes out at 8,500 pounds. On the other hand, the EPA rates the Armada Patrol PRO-4X at 16/19/17 mpg city/highway/combined.
For improved off-road performance, the Patrol PRO-4X trim comes with several tweaks. These include an electronic locking rear differential, adaptive air suspension, and all-terrain tires. Nissan also gave this trim a slew of driver assistance technologies like a 3D surround-view camera with hood and front-wide views. Eight selectable drive modes and an underbody skid plate also come standard on the Patrol PRO-4X trim.
Other key changes for 2027 include a newly optional NISMO roof rack and NISMO rock sliders. Additionally, you can also add fresh new NISMO Axis wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich all-terrain tires. The renamed Patrol PRO-4X trim joins the expanded 2027 Armada lineup, which includes the new Dark Armor model based on the SL trim. Additionally, that variant adds the blackout look to an already menacing-looking full-size SUV.
The 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol PRO-4X makes its official debut next week at the 2026 Los Angeles Auto Show.
