MISSISSAUG, Ont. – Nissan is introducing the legendary Patrol nameplate to Canada , bringing one of the brand's most enduring and globally recognized badges to Canadian roads.

For the 2027 model year, Armada's capable PRO-4X grade is renamed Patrol PRO-4X¹, aligning the model with Patrol's 75-year heritage of global SUV adventure.

Armada Patrol PRO‑4X also expands its adventure‑ready offering with new available dealer‑installed accessories, including NISMO rock sliders and NISMO Axis wheels paired with BFGoodrich all‑terrain tires.

"Patrol has built an incredible legacy around the world over the past 75 years, and bringing the name to Canada connects Armada to that history," said Steve Rhind, President, Nissan Canada Inc. "Armada Patrol PRO-4X builds on that heritage with proven capability and new adventure-ready accessories, inviting Canadians to explore further with confidence while offering a glimpse of what's ahead: a future lineup of more rugged, enthusiast-focused trucks and SUVs designed for adventure on and off the road."

The Armada Patrol PRO-4X will see its public debut on Nissan's stand at the 2026 LA Auto Show (November 20-29).

A 75-year legacy of global adventure

Patrol has been part of the Nissan lineup since 1951 and stands as one of the company's longest-running and most iconic nameplates. Across seven generations, Patrol has established itself globally as the go-to vehicle for adventure and exploration.

It was also the first Nissan‑badged vehicle sold in America, beginning in 1962, helping establish Nissan's reputation as an adventurous, challenger brand that empowers drivers to get more out of every journey.

Armada Patrol PRO-4X builds on that legacy with a nameplate backed by 75 years of global credibility. It continues to offer all the equipment that enables Armada PRO-4X to tackle varied terrain, including an electronic locking rear differential, Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension², all-terrain tires, eight selectable drive modes, a metal underbody skid plate and advanced camera systems like Invisible Hood View³.
