Nissan adds a thrilling new chapter to its SUV lineup with the introduction of the 2026 Armada NISMO. Crafted for performance-focused drivers, this new model blends added power, enhanced agility, and bold styling—while still delivering the spacious comfort the Armada is known for.

Elevated Performance

Beneath the hood, the Armada NISMO houses a recalibrated 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that now produces 460 horsepower—35 more than the standard version. This power boost results in quicker takeoffs and a more dynamic on-road experience. A sport-tuned exhaust system enhances the sound profile, giving the SUV a more aggressive tone.

Enhanced Cornering Capabilities

Handling improvements come courtesy of updated electric steering and a fine-tuned Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension system. With the added grip from high-performance Bridgestone tires, the Armada NISMO offers more stability and confidence, especially on twisty roads and sharp corners.

Aggressive Styling Treatments

The NISMO design package gives the Armada a striking appearance. Wide fender flares, unique 22-inch forged wheels, and red brake calipers contribute to its muscular stance. Signature red accents and aerodynamic enhancements reinforce its sporty identity. Available in bold shades like NISMO Stealth Gray, Everest White Pearl Tricoat, and Black Diamond Pearl, the look is topped off with an optional black contrast roof.

Performance-Inspired Interior

Step inside and the performance theme continues. Quilted leather-appointed seats with red stitching, aluminum pedals, and supportive front bolsters give the cabin a race-inspired feel. Added comfort comes from features like heated and massaging seats, a premium Klipsch 12-speaker audio system, multicolor ambient lighting, and a dual-panel panoramic sunroof.
