2025 Ford Expedition vs 2025 Nissan Armada
Exterior and Interior Redesign of the 2025 Nissan Armada
The 2025 Nissan Armada boasts a complete redesign. Nissan aimed for a more modern and luxurious aesthetic, attempting to catch up with the Expedition’s premium interior. The exterior features sharper lines and a bolder grille. Inside, the Armada offers premium materials. A focus on comfort and high-tech features is evident. The new design gives it a much needed update to what had become an outdated look.
Praised for its rugged good looks, the 2025 Expedition has a better cabin from the outset. At the entry level, it has a 10-way power driver’s chair and an 8-way power passenger chair. These are superior to the power chairs on the Armada.
Furthermore, the Expedition has an exclusive power-adjustable console. This allows for even more flexibility in the cabin. As for style, only the Expedition is offered with the originality of the King Ranch trim or the sheer luxury of the Platinum trim. 
Size and Utility
Despite the Armada’s redesign, the 2025 Ford Expedition continues to be larger than the Armada. It has more second-room legroom and more cargo space. If you step up to the Expedition L -- the longbase model -- you will find even more space at every position.
With the shortbase model, the Expedition’s cargo capacity is bigger. With the longbase model, it is as big as the best 2-row SUVs. Either way, you’ll find more space in the Ford 3 row SUV. 
Performance and Powertrain Differences
The 2025 Nissan Armada introduces a new turbocharged engine. This engine replaces the previous V8. A newly designed independent rear suspension should provide a more comfortable ride.
The Ford Expedition utilizes an Ecoboost turbo engine that has been refined over the years. It is often praised for its intelligent power delivery. Ecoboost engines deliver 400 or 440 horsepower while the Armada promises 425 horsepower.
Tow ratings favor the Expedition and Expedition L by 500 to 600 pounds over the Nissan 3 row SUV. Plus only the Ford large SUV has blind spot coverage that extends to a trailer or the excellent system known as Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
As for handling and ride quality, reviewers note the Expedition’s ability to absorb road imperfections. It is more comfortable than the Armada with its less refined ride quality. When it comes to off-roading, only the Ford large SUV can offer the brand’s exclusive terrain management system and Trail Turn Assist.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Armada's new look is a definite improvement, but the Expedition maintains an edge. For Phoenix families seeking refined comfort, the Expedition is the strongest choice. The family driver and adventure seeker will be happier with the Ford 3-row SUV as well.
