Nissan Armada Y63 Speculative Rendering Proposes Blocky Design
Look even closer, and you'll notice a rather interesting blend of ruggedness and sophistication. The reassuringly simple lighting signature and rectangular headlights are to die for, whereas the rear end has a bit of Range Rover intertwined with a dash of Nissan. Speaking of which, this rendering is based on two vehicles. Notice how the side mirrors are attached to the vehicle from the front three-quarter view as opposed to the rear three-quarter view?
The door lines, C pillars, and rear three quarters are massively different as well. A bit amateurish, but on the other hand, that's how speculative renderings like to roll. The real thing is currently testing in the Middle East as the Patrol, which bears the same internal codename as the Armada (Y63).
More upright than the Y62, the all-new Armada does have a bit of Range Rover to its bodysides and rear end. Nissan dealers in the United States were shown the redesigned full-size utility vehicle in August 2023, with a dealer source telling Automotive News that Nissan intends to reveal the 2024 model in late 2023 with – get this – a twin-turbocharged V6 lump.
Said insider disclosed 424 horsepower from the mystery twin-turbo sixer, which is believed to displace between 3.0 and 4.0 liters. Toyota offers the Land Cruiser 300 series with a 3.4 marketed as a 3.5, a powerplant available with hybrid assistance in the less off-roady Sequoia SUV.
Over in the Middle East, word on the street is that a naturally-aspirated V6 will be offered as well. The 3.8 in the Frontier is the most likely candidate, an engine manufactured at the Decherd plant in Tennessee. If that rumor proves true, said engine has to be shipped to the Shatai Kyushu plant in Japan. That's where Nissan currently builds the Patrol, Armada, QX80, and Elgrand.
With the 1GR-FE carrying over from the Land Cruiser 200 to the 300 series, it should be only natural for the Patrol to get a naturally-aspi..
