The 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO has arrived, bringing a bold mix of performance and style to the full-size SUV lineup. This marks the first time the Armada receives the NISMO performance treatment in the U.S. market, delivering more power, aggressive design, and signature motorsport-inspired details.
Under the hood, a revised engine tune and updated valve clearances boost output to 460 horsepower while torque remains unchanged at 516 lb-ft. A revamped exhaust system and active cabin sound enhancement amplify the experience. The SUV comes with NISMO-tuned adaptive electronic air suspension and is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
Visually, the Armada NISMO stands out with a blacked-out grille, LED fog lights, flared fenders, red accents, and 22-inch forged aluminum wheels. A rear spoiler, unique diffuser, and NISMO badging complete the exterior look. Color options include NISMO Stealth Gray, Everest White Pearl Tricoat, and Black Diamond Pearl, with or without a contrasting black roof.
Inside, the cabin features red quilted seat inserts, dark gray leather, adjustable front seat bolsters, and NISMO logos on each headrest. Nissan plans to release pricing and availability later this summer. The Armada NISMO joins a legacy of performance-focused NISMO vehicles.
