Camera technology helps drivers navigate car wash tracks, avoid curbs and spot other road hazards

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan's Invisible Hood View technology1 helps drivers spot hidden obstacles in everyday situations and has been named 'Best New Feature' by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). Tested in the 2025 Nissan Armada at TAWA's annual Texas Auto Roundup event, the system provides drivers with a virtual view through the engine bay, making it easier to navigate car wash tracks, avoid curbs and see hazards that are normally out of sight. This recognition underlines how Nissan develops intuitive technologies that deliver real-world value and convenience to customers.

Invisible Hood View helps drivers spot obstacles ahead of the vehicle by providing a virtual view 'through' the engine bay on the in-cabin infotainment screen. The system uses exterior-mounted cameras to deliver a simpler view of what is ahead and below the driver's line of sight. It simplifies spotting obstacles such as obscured curbs in the drive-through lane, metal tracks when entering a car wash and rocks and other hazards when off-roading. Invisible Hood View is available in the 2025 Nissan Armada, 2025 Rogue and 2025 Murano.

Invisible Hood View is part of a broader array of available camera technologies that make driving easier and more convenient. Available Front Wide View1 provides a wide-angle perspective ahead and to the front corners of the vehicle, ideal for seeing past pillars in a tight garage or beyond parked cars when exiting driveways. Available 3D Intelligent Around View® Monitor2 builds on Nissan's well-known Around View Monitor® by allowing the driver to swipe on the touchscreen to 'rotate' a three-dimensional view of the vehicle and its surroundings from nearly any angle.

Originally launched on the 2024 Nissan Rogue, Invisible Hood View is also available on the all-new 2025 Murano and 2025 Armada.
