Nissan said today that the 2026 model year Armada* adds a performance option to the full-size SUV with its first NISMO version. The 2026 Nissan Armada is offered in six grades (SV, SL, PRO-4X, Platinum, NISMO, Platinum Reserve). Armada is on sale now with Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) [see footnote 1]** starting at $58,840, with the NISMO from $79,530.
“Following the all-new debut of the 2025 model year, Nissan continues to deliver an Armada for every adventure – offering supreme comfort, premium technology, a bold new design and uncompromising capability. With three rows of seating, a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds [3], and the added confidence of standard Nissan Safety Shield® 3604, the Armada is ready for whatever the road – or trail – may bring,” Nissan said.
“With exclusive styling and handling enhancements, Armada NISMO delivers the most power of any Armada to date with 460 horsepower, +35 hp versus other versions when using premium fuel. [2] Offering more engaging and direct handling along with a louder exhaust note, Armada NISMO proudly stands out from the crowd with its new NISMO-exclusive front and rear fascia, grille, side steps and rear spoiler. To round out its sporty appearance, Armada NISMO is offered in an exclusive Stealth Gray paint option,” Nissan said.
“For drivers, whose paths take them off-road, Armada PRO-4X features all-terrain tires, an off-road-specific front bumper with increased approach angle, underbody skid plates, an electronic locking differential and Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension. Fender flares, 20-inch painted PRO-4X wheels and numerous Lava Red accents make it a standout at the trailhead. New for the 2026 model year, Armada PRO-4X grade can be equipped with an optional second-row captain’s chairs instead of a second-row bench seat,” Nissan said.
