The 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol PRO-4X brings the Patrol name back to the U.S. for the first time since 1969. Nissan is adding the badge to its off-road Armada grade, with production of the renamed version starting this month.
For shoppers, the useful questions are what changes, what equipment carries over and how much the SUV costs once destination is included.
What the Patrol name changes
Armada remains the vehicle name. Patrol PRO-4X replaces the PRO-4X grade name starting with November 2026 production, according to Nissan’s November 9 announcement. The company will show it at the Los Angeles Auto Show, November 20–29.
That distinction matters when comparing dealer inventory. A Patrol badge should not be mistaken for a separate SUV or a wholesale redesign. Ask which production version you are looking at and compare the actual equipment list.
The off-road hardware stays familiar
Nissan’s 2027 Armada specifications list a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 425 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic. Patrol PRO-4X includes four-wheel drive, an electronic locking rear differential, adaptive air suspension, 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires and a metal underbody skid plate.
Those are the features to weigh against how you will use a large, three-row SUV. A rear locker and underbody protection matter more to an off-road purchase than the name on the door sill. Buyers who mainly want a different appearance can also look at the Armada’s less expensive Dark Armor package.
NISMO accessories arrive this winter
Nissan says new NISMO rock sliders and a roof rack arrive this winter. Available NISMO Axis wheels with BFGoodrich all-terrain tires round out the accessory offering.
The accessorized SUV in these photos is worth separating from the base price. Ask for a written quote covering the parts, installation and any effect on vehicle height or usable load capacity before building an adventure wish list.
2027 Nissan Armada Patrol PRO-4X price
Patrol PRO-4X starts at $78,990. Add Nissan’s $2,275 destination and handling charge and the starting total becomes $81,265, before taxes, title, license, options and dealer charges. Dealers set the final selling price.
For context, the same price sheet puts Platinum 4×4 at $78,065 delivered and NISMO at $82,965. Patrol PRO-4X is $3,200 above Platinum and $1,700 below NISMO. Choosing among them should start with the equipment you need, then the complete out-the-door quote.
