Compare the 2025 Nissan Armada SV vs SL - Decatur, IL

No matter which trim you choose, the 2025 Nissan Armada arrives fully updated with a more powerful engine, enhanced safety features, and the latest technology. While the Armada is a capable SUV across the board, key differences between trims can help you decide which one fits your lifestyle. Two standout options are the SV, a value-packed base trim, and the SL, which adds more premium amenities and upgrades.

Performance

Both the SV and SL share the same robust powertrain. The 2025 Armada is powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine that puts out up to 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, though both trims offer four-wheel drive as an optional upgrade for improved capability.

Appearance

When it comes to exterior styling, the SV and SL have a few distinct touches. The SV is fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels, while the SL steps up to 20-inch versions. Both trims feature LED headlights, roof rails, and running boards that improve convenience and add a rugged look. Inside, the SL features synthetic leather upholstery, enhancing both style and comfort. An available ProPilot Assist 2.1 package on the SL also adds ambient lighting and additional high-tech features.

Features

The SL trim comes equipped with a generous list of standard features designed to elevate the driving experience. These include an eight-way power driver's seat, tri-zone climate control, and dual 12.3-inch screens-one for the instrument panel and one for infotainment. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wireless and integrated. The front passenger seat is also power-adjustable, and both front seats are heated, along with a heated steering wheel for added comfort. The SL further enhances entertainment with a 12-speaker premium audio system, built-in Alexa, and navigation.
