The 2026 Nissan Armada Nismo Is a Seven-Seat Stampeding Elephant
- Nissan debuted the 2026 Armada NISMO, a 6,100-pound three-row SUV with 460 hp, set to reach U.S. dealerships this fall.
- The Armada NISMO builds on Nissan's existing full-size SUV line by adding power, suspension tuning, and signature NISMO design following the success of competitors' performance SUVs.
- It features a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 boosted from 425 to 460 horsepower, a nine-speed automatic transmission, 516 lb-ft of torque, and retains an 8,500-pound towing capacity.
- Nissan states the NISMO model has a louder retuned exhaust that allows the engine to 'shout more loudly', while requiring premium fuel and offering an estimated starting price near $78,000.
- This launch highlights Nissan's focus on high-performance large SUVs and places the Armada NISMO just below the Platinum Reserve trim, with pricing and sales details to be confirmed later this summer.
