Too bad it won t be coming to the US.
The Nissan Armada was given a facelift for the 2021 model year, giving the large off-roader more rugged styling and a vastly improved interior. As standard, the 2021 Nissan Armada is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 producing 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic. Nissan also sells a more powerful variant - but not in the US, sadly.
Outside of America, the Nissan Armada is sold as the Patrol, and in regions like the Middle East, Nissan also offers a high-performance version tuned by Nismo. A video shared by Instagram page jokerr.cars shows the new Nissan Patrol Nismo completely undisguised shooting for a commercial in the Middle East, despite the fact that the updated Nismo variant hasn t yet been officially unveiled.
A Nismo edition of the Nissan Patrol, what we in the U.S. know as the Armada, has been spotted. As seen by Instagram account jokerr.cars, the Patrol Nismo is based on the recently facelifted 2021 model, the Nismo edition adds a more aggressive fascia with large intakes on either side of a taller grille. The sportier looks continue with side skirts and a modified rear bumper, as well as an air dam highlighted with Nismo's signature red paint.

Kolesa, the imagined Patrol wears a number of Nismo parts to form the new 2022 flagship Nissan large SUV.
Much like the previous Nissan Patrol Nismo, the new version is treated to a sporty bodykit with red detailing to contrast its white paintwork.
The 22-inch forged wheels have also made it from the old car to the new version, while the front grille also wears a new mesh pattern akin to the Navara Pro-4X ute.
