<P> On February 10 , 2016 , Nissan unveiled the second generation Armada at the Chicago Auto Show , and went on sale in August 2016 as a 2017 model . This version is based on the Nissan Patrol and Infiniti QX80 , and is assembled in Japan , except for the Endurance V8 engine , which is assembled in Decherd , Tennessee . The Armada grew in length and width , but the wheelbase and height were moderately reduced . In addition to the Endurance V8 , a seven - speed transmission was introduced to improve fuel economy , acceleration and torque , along with an increase in horsepower from 317 to 390 hp at 5,200 rpm . The exterior moderately differs from the updated Patrol , that was introduced in early 2014 . As with the previous generation , the Armada continued to offer 2WD and 4WD and available in SV , SL , and Platinum trims . </P>
