Fuel and emissions regulations are getting stricter all around the world, not just in Europe. Automakers active in the United States know that which is why the new Toyota Sequoia has lost its gas-guzzling V8 in favor of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. It would seem Nissan will be going down the same road with its very own fullsize SUV for the next-generation Armada.
Automotive News has it on good authority the three-row body-on-frame vehicle will also drop the naturally aspirated V8 for a smaller and more efficient six-cylinder. Citing a dealer with information about Nissan's agenda, AN mentions the revamped Armada will switch to a newly developed twin-turbo V6. Such a move would follow not just the Sequoia, but also the Ford Expedition, which retired the V8 several years ago.
