Nissan Debuts 2026 Armada Nismo Performance SUV

Nissan has introduced the 2026 Armada Nismo, marking the first application of the Nismo performance badge to its full-size SUV in the U.S. market. The Armada Nismo is powered by a 460-horsepower twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine—35 hp more than the standard model—due to revised tuning and an upgraded exhaust. It features Nismo-specific styling, retuned suspension and steering for improved handling, 22-inch forged alloy wheels, and red interior accents, while maintaining an 8,500-pound towing capacity. The Nismo trim is positioned between the Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve in the lineup, with pricing details yet to be announced. Nissan also offers Nismo-tuned Patrol models internationally, recently unveiling the Y63 Patrol Nismo for the Middle East and Australia. These releases reinforce Nissan's strategy to combine performance, style, and utility in its flagship SUVs.
