Get Ready for the All-New 2025 Nissan Armada: It’s Ready for Anything

The 2025 Nissan Armada makes a big impression in more ways than one, whether you’re enjoying its off-road capabilities, lavishly comfortable interior, or cutting-edge technology. The new Armada is ready for an off-road trek, a fun excursion with the family, or even a quiet solo adventure in a spacious vehicle you can count on. The new Armada is ready for anything. Are you ready to see what makes this SUV stand out? 

The 2025 Nissan Armada Features 

New PRO-4X Trim Level and Off-Road Capability 

Fans of off-roading will get excited about the new PRO-4X model of the 2025 Nissan Armada. It has an Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension that lifts the vehicle by more than 2 inches and includes over 9 ½ inches of ground clearance and angles perfect for drives off the beaten path. The new Armada PRO-4X includes Intelligent 4WD for great performance on tough terrain, along with eight drive modes like Rock, Mud/Rut, and Sand. The Off-road Information Display lets you check real-time data like steering angle and wheel slip. You’ll also get a great view of your surroundings with its cameras, like the Invisible Hood View.  

Enhanced Frame and Performance 

And the new 2025 Armada offers a smoother and quieter drive with 25% more torsional rigidity and 57% more lateral stiffness when off-roading requires your ride to have a stronger frame. If you need pickup, it has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 425 horsepower, along with a 9-speed automatic transmission. If it’s power you’re wanting, the new Armada can tow up to 8,500 pounds! Plus, you can tow safer with features like Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring. 

Interior and Technology Upgrades 

For the new 2025 Armada’s interior, spacious is a great description- with more space for cargo and more legroom in the third row. And premium touches like open-pore wood and quilted leather seats make the interior as luxurious as it is spacious. The tech upgrades really round out the cabin with dual high-definition displays, and larger 14.3-inch screens for the PRO-4X models. Google built-in is available on SL trims and higher, plus there’s standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. 

Design and Exterior Features 

The 2025 Armada has an attractive design that deftly blends its aesthetic qualities with its practical ones- featuring a hidden rear wiper and a front air curtain for better aerodynamics; 18-, 20-, or 22-inch size wheel options; multiple color choices; available new two-tone roof treatments; and standard LED lighting. 

Comparing the 2025 Nissan Armada with the Infiniti QX80 

The Infiniti QX80 is more than matched by the 2025 Nissan Armada’s size and power. Where the QX80 can be considered more about the luxury, the Armada offers a practical option for families and off-road trips. Both models feature: 

  • Voice-activated assistance and premium sound systems. 
  • Advanced multimedia and easy-to-see screens. 
  • Towing/trailer assistance. 

So, where the QX80 offers more luxury options in higher trims, the Armada adds practical features more suited for daily use and off-roading. 

Why Choose the 2025 Nissan Armada? 

The power, luxury, and practicality of the 2025 Nissan Armada is perfect for those needing a reliable, roomy vehicle that can handle off-road and daily commutes. And with its stronger frame, powerful engine, luxurious interior, and advanced tech features, the new PRO-4X trim of the Armada is even more appealing.  

Look for the new 2025 Armada in dealerships and be among the first to experience it in the greater Philly area in late 2024. But until its release, visit Bush Nissan of Exton to test drive its earlier model, the 2024 Nissan Armada! This large family-sized SUV has the best in luxury and utility that Nissan currently offers, and it won’t disappoint. Ask about our services, specials, and financing options to get you the best deal on your new Nissan- and to get you ready for anything the road ahead has to offer!

Celebrate National Tailgating Day with the Ultimate Tailgating Guide

The First National Tailgating Day was celebrated on September 3, 2016, and since then, it has become an essential event for sports fans across the country. Scheduled on the first Saturday of September each year, it marks the start of the football season and the beginning of countless tailgates filled with food, fun, and fandom.

What is Tailgating?

Tailgating is an American tradition where sports fans gather outside their favorite sports venue before a game to socialize, eat, drink, celebrate their team, and get pumped up for the game ahead. While often associated with football, tailgating is also a common practice during baseball season and at NASCAR races, where enthusiasts tailgate for days in the infield.

Tailgating is more than just an event; it’s a culture. It brings people together, fosters team spirit, and builds a sense of community. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned tailgater, here are some tips to ensure your National Tailgating Day is a success.

Top 10 Tips for a Successful Tailgate

1. You Don’t Have to Go Big

Even with limited space or budget, you can make your tailgate the place to be. Use innovative products like coolers with built-in sound systems or portable grills with built-in speakers.

2. Prepare for the Elements

September can be hot. Bring sunscreen, hats, and tents for shade. Wear breathable clothing and consider hand-held air-conditioning units to keep cool.

3. Explore New Things

Surprise your tailgating crew with new games, local craft beers, or unique recipes like grilled lobster tails.

4. Sit Back and Relax

Invest in comfortable seating like GCI Outdoor freestyle rocking chairs or portable hammocks. Even tailgating chairs with built-in shade and fans can make a big difference.

5. Keep Cool

Ensure your drinks stay cold. Add rock salt to your cooler to drop the temperature below freezing. Devices that chill drinks in 60 seconds are also a great option.

6. One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Be mindful of different dietary needs. From peanut allergies to vegan diets, having options for everyone is crucial. Consider vegan burgers and brats that “bleed” beet juice when grilled. The traditional fare is burgers and hot dogs, however, and you can’t go wrong with the classics!

7. Power Up

Keep a small, portable power station to charge phones and other electronics. You'll be the hero of the tailgate.

8. Bug Off

Use portable devices that keep insects away without chemicals. Tools that use table salt to kill flies are effective and fun.

9. Don’t Be That Guy

Balance your alcohol intake with water to stay hydrated. Having a portable breathalyzer can help prevent intoxicated driving.

10. Let Your Outfit Speak for You

Stand out with wild shirts and pants that express your fandom. Innovative accessories like belt buckles that hold drinks can add a fun twist.

The Perfect Tailgating Vehicle

Selecting the right vehicle can greatly elevate your tailgating experience. When considering trucks, prioritize features such as generous cargo space for chairs, coolers, and grills, along with tailgate functionality that doubles as a table or seating area. Choose models equipped with built-in electrical outlets and power generators. SUVs also make excellent choices, especially those with foldable rear seats for extra storage. Enhance your setup with accessories like awnings, storage containers, and tailgate mats.

Regardless of the vehicle, some features are indispensable: power outlets to keep devices charged, comfortable leather or vinyl seats for easy cleaning, entertainment systems with integrated screens and sound systems, and safety features like blind-spot monitors and lane departure warnings to ensure a secure journey.

Enjoy Tailgating the Right Way!

Tailgating is a cherished tradition that brings people together to celebrate their favorite sports teams. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first timer, following these tips can ensure a successful and enjoyable tailgating experience.

Ready to elevate your tailgating game? Visit Bush Nissan of Exton to shop for a new truck or SUV that's perfect for all your tailgating needs. We suggest either the Nissan Titan or the Nissan Armada to ensure you have all the room you need to enjoy your time with all your new best friends. Get ready to tailgate in style!

Nissan and Honda Partnership – Automakers Shake Hands to Shake Up EVs

Speculated since March, Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda are making their collaboration official. What can we expect from this partnership and how can it impact electric vehicles in the future for the worldwide electric market?

Nissan and Honda’s Partnership Goals

Nissan and Honda are Japan’s second and third biggest automakers, so why would two direct competitors want a partnership? Software. According to the Japan Times, the goal of the move was to catch up with Chinese competitors who had taken a decisive lead in EVs while Japanese companies concentrated more on hybrid cars. Electric Cars are more computer than motor these days and software is a crucial and ever-changing part of the electric vehicle future.

With this alliance, the two automakers aim to outpace Chinese manufacturers in the Eastern market and beyond. Together their project focus could involve vehicle function software, wireless update software, charging infrastructure updates, supplementary goods, and battery development.

Partnership Timeline

Both Nissan and Honda are staying quiet about in-depth developments, but it’s safe to speculate that since the March announcement, the companies are now settling on the finer details of the agreement. With lower production costs due to the partnership, EV costs to rival Tesla and other aggressive upcoming competitors could translate into higher sales if the lower production costs also translate into lower ticket prices at the dealership.

Ultimately, this partnership exemplifies a global trend where traditional automakers are banding together to adapt and excel in the Electric Vehicle era. By pooling their resources and expertise, they aim to standardize vehicle software for user-friendly interfaces and streamline charging hardware compatible with the expanding network of charging stations. This collaboration has the potential to catalyze the electric vehicle market's shift towards becoming the predominant choice on the roads. We eagerly anticipate the outcomes of this collaborative effort.

Join the Electric Revolution with These Shocking Specials!

At Bush Nissan of Exton, we have the best selection of electrified and fully electric Nissan vehicles in the King of Prussia area. Whether you’re looking for something sporty like the 2025 Nissan Leaf or a car that can match your thirst for adventure like the 2024 Nissan Ariya, we are determined to find the vehicle of our dreams. View our specials for great deals on our available models or contact us with any questions about any of our models.

Visit today, schedule a test drive, and feel the electric thrill of taking on the road with an EV from Bush Nissan of Exton!

Nissan’s Electric Future Sparks Excitement

While other Japanese manufacturers side with ICEs, Nissan committed to reducing carbon emissions and ensuring the future of our planet through EVs.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan has reaffirmed that electric is the way forward, citing that "Our future is EV". Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

These announcements may not come into effect immediately in the United States and other Western markets as there is still developing electric infrastructure, but Nissan’s efforts towards electrification worldwide seem to hint that this strategy will be coming to all markets sooner or later.

What This Means for ICE Gas Engines

Nissan intends to keep selling conventional gas and diesel internal combustion engine vehicles but without further advancements in their technology. Instead, the company aims to channel its efforts into enhancing hybrid and plug-in powertrains, prioritizing electric vehicles in its research and development endeavors.

The timeline for completely phasing out combustion engines hasn't been confirmed by Nissan yet. It's contingent upon regulatory requirements and market demands in different regions. However, Nissan's European branch has announced plans to exclusively offer electric vehicles by 2030, starting in September 2023. As for the United States, the specific timing remains uncertain—we'll need to wait and see.

What to Do If Your Car Engine Overheats

Memorial Day is in the books, and temperatures are set to soar in the coming months here in Exton. Yesterday officially kicked off Exton's warm season; temperatures in the mid-80s are expected this weekend, and our average July high of 84 degrees is right around the corner. If you're not prepared for it, your vehicle and its engine could soon be sweating it out.

It can be overwhelming when you engine overheats, and the performance issues that could arise for your Nissan as a result are just as scary. Even worse, if you have to pull over in a remote location, you might find yourself stranded beneath the scorching sun. Here at Bush Nissan of Exton, we're ready to help you identify overheating warning signs and guide you through what to do if your engine does overheat.

Recognize the Signs

Your engine often alerts you to service needs by making uncommon sounds or flickering dashboard icons. In the same way, it notifies you when it's running hot. Here are four indications that your engine might be in the process of overheating:

  • Clouds of steam akin to smoke rising from beneath the hood.
  • A peculiar, sweet scent originating from the engine.
  • The engine temperature gauge needle spiking towards the red.
  • The "Check Engine" light or a comparable indicator flashing.

Actions to Take if Your Engine Overheats

  1. Switch off the AC and Crank up the Heater

Paradoxical as it may seem, the first action to take when your engine starts to overheat is to deactivate the AC and turn up the heater. Turning off the air conditioner reduces stress on the engine, while amplifying the cabin's heat helps divert heat away from it.

  1. Keep Calm, Find a Safe Place to Pull Over, & Turn Off Your Car

In such a stressful situation, it's paramount to maintain your composure. Your brand-new 2024 Nissan Altima won't suddenly burst into flames; panicking only heightens the risk of making a costly error. Take a deep breath, slow down, and spot a safe place to pull over. After stopping, shut off the vehicle and keep an eye on the temperature gauge, which should stabilize as the engine cools.

  1. Chart Your Route to the Garage

This situation underlines the necessity of fully charging your phone prior to any journey. (So if you're currently reading this while stranded roadside, sorry that happened, but kudos to you for keeping charged!) If you're still in the vicinity of Exton, try to bring your vehicle to our Service Center. Contact our reliable roadside rescue service and arrange a tow, if needed. If your engine has sufficiently cooled and you deem it safe to drive to our garage without help, cautiously start the vehicle and proceed. Keep monitoring the temperature gauge. If it rises again, pull over and allow the engine to cool down once again.

Handle Your Summer Maintenance at Bush Nissan of Exton

While you are now ready to handle your overheated engine properly, the root cause of the overheating still needs to be uncovered. A coolant system leakage, malfunctioning water pump, low engine oil... all are potential culprits. To identify whodunnit, you'll want to schedule your service appointment with Bush Nissan of Exton. Our service professionals are primed to handle all of your Nissan's maintenance needs, from routine oil changes to brake pad inspection. As the temperatures continue to swelter, you can rely on our composed team at Bush Nissan of Exton. After all – cooler heads always prevail.
