September looks promising for new model releases as Nissan, Audi and Aston Martin each teased updated models of their vehicles.

New Nissan Armada

Let’s start with Nissan, which released a teaser image with a 1967 Patrol model in the background.

Nissan’s full-size SUV, called the Armada in North America, is called Patrol in other markets.

The Armada has essentially been a twin of the Infiniti QX80 for the past generation. The Infiniti received a major overhaul this year, so it’s no surprise the Armada is receiving an update as well.

The current Armada is powered by a V8 engine and has been available since 2017, while the new QX80 is motivated by a more powerful turbocharged V6.

The next-gen Armada is expected to be revealed Sept. 3.

New Audi Q5

Audi released a teaser image featuring the headlights of the new Q5 SUV.

The new model is expected to be launched on Sept. 2.

“With the third generation of our most successful SUV, we will now begin rejuvenating our SUV portfolio with efficient combustion engine models and hybrid versions,” the automaker said in its teaser of the Q5.

New Aston Martin V12 Vanquish

Aston Martin has taken to social media to regularly release teasers of its upcoming V12 Vanquish.

The new model is expected to be revealed Sept. 2.

The Vanquish model had been a mainstay of Aston Martin for years, but was dropped in recent years. Now, the automaker looks to be bringing the grand tourer back to its model lineup.
