Nissan's Most Powerful Full-Size SUV Yet
The 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO debuts as the most powerful Armada ever, with 460 horsepower from a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. That’s 35 hp more than the standard version when fueled with premium gasoline.
Performance upgrades include:
- Less restrictive exhaust system for enhanced output
- Retuned electric power steering for better feedback
- Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension with sharper tuning
- Forged NISMO wheels with performance tires for added grip
This NISMO isn’t a cosmetic package. Every change supports high-speed control and daily drivability.
Retuned Suspension for Real Handling
Nissan’s adaptive suspension technology reduces body roll and improves cornering. Sensors and software adjust stiffness based on load and driving behavior.
A lower ride height during aggressive driving keeps the center of gravity down. The SUV also features Access Mode, which lowers the vehicle when parked to simplify entry and cargo loading.
NISMO Styling Enhancements With Purpose
The Armada NISMO adds aerodynamic and cooling upgrades. Not one part is just for show.
- Front and rear fascias improve airflow
- New grille maximizes engine cooling
- Wider fender flares fit the larger wheels
- Red-painted brake calipers match NISMO design cues
- Rear spoiler adds minor aerodynamic stability
- Modified side steps maintain ground clearance
A Stealth Gray color is exclusive to the NISMO grade.
Cabin Gets NISMO-Specific Upgrades
Inside the NISMO, Nissan focuses on support and simplicity:
- Sport seats with adjustable bolsters hold occupants firmly
- Quilted leather surfaces feature red contrast stitching
- Aluminum pedals replace standard rubber for improved foot feel
The three-row interior remains spacious. The layout supports driver focus while retaining family utility.
