<\/p>\n

Nissan is giving in to enthusiasts’ deepest desires. For the first time in America, the company is bringing a Nismo version of its full-size Armada SUV to market for 2026. The Nissan Armada Nismo gets striking tuner-inspired looks, a retuned suspension, and more power from its twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. <\/p>\n

The Nissan Armada Nismo will be easy to spot in a crowd. There are unique front and rear bumpers, as well as special side skirts and a new tailgate, all covered in red accents, typical of any modern Nismo product. There’s also an exclusive two-tone Stealth Grey color scheme, fender flares, a diffuser, a rear spoiler, and a set of massive 22-inch wheels.<\/p>\n

Inside is more of the same, with specific quilted two-tone black and red leather for the seats and center armrest. The seats have adjustable bolsters to help hold you in during high-g cornering. There are also red accents along the dashboard and the steering wheel to further set the cabin apart.<\/p>\n

Under the hood, you’ll find the Armada’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, retuned to 460 horsepower\u2014an increase of 35 horses over the standard model. The extra power is thanks to a revised engine programming, a new exhaust system, and “careful fine-tuning of valve clearances,” according to Nissan. As with all other Armadas, power is sent to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission and a full-time all-wheel drive system.<\/p>\n

To complete the package, Nissan gives the Armada Nismo a retuned electric power steering rack and a revised adaptive air suspension system to improve handling and response. Those forged alloy wheels wear a higher-performance all-season tire for more overall grip. <\/p>\n

The best news is, despite all of these changes, the Armada Nismo carries the same 8,500-pound towing capacity as all other trims, meaning it can be the perfect companion to your Z track car. <\/p>\n

Nissan has yet to reveal pricing for the 2026 Armada Nismo, though considering all of the equipment changes, we expect it to be priced similarly to the off-road-focused Pro-4X trim, which starts at $75,750 including destination. The company should release pricing once the SUV goes on sale this fall.<\/p>\n
