The New 2026 Nissan Armada

At the heart of every 2026 Nissan Armada beats a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. This new powertrain replaces the outgoing V8, providing both stronger acceleration and greater efficiency, with an EPA-estimated 18 MPG combined on 2WD models.

For those seeking even more adrenaline, the first-ever Armada NISMO pushes output to 460 horsepower when fueled with premium gasoline. This performance-tuned variant borrows engineering inspiration from the legendary GT-R®, including a scavenging oil pump system and recalibrated steering for sharper handling.

Every Armada features Tow Mode, Hill Start Assist, and standard Trailer Sway Control, while the available Intelligent 4WD system includes a 2-speed transfer case for added traction when weather or terrain demands. With a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds, this full-size SUV balances brute force with intelligent control.

Strength and sophistication meet where it matters most: the open road. Built on a durable body-on-frame chassis, the 2026 Armada is engineered for real-world toughness, whether you’re pulling a trailer through Fort Worth’s backroads or heading for the Texas Hill Country.

The PRO-4X trim introduces new levels of off-road capability with Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension, an electronic locking rear differential, skid plates, and 275/65R20 all-terrain tires. With eight selectable drive modes and Hill Descent Control, it confidently adapts to gravel, sand, and mud. For urban environments, the air suspension also offers an Access Mode that automatically lowers the vehicle for easier entry and loading.

Meanwhile, Trailer Brake Controller, Trailer Blind Spot Warning, and a 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor simplify hauling, giving you the confidence to tow smarter and safer.

Inside, the 2026 Nissan Armada envelops passengers in luxury and technology, offering three rows of seating for up to eight passengers. Even the base SV trim features Zero Gravity front seats, Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and a 12.3-inch digital touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Move up to the SL or Platinum trims, and comfort becomes artful. Quilted TailorFit™ leather, a massaging driver’s seat, and multicolor ambient lighting elevate every mile. Available second-row captain’s chairs offer first-class comfort, while generous cargo flexibility provides more than enough room for gear, groceries, or weekend getaways.

For tech lovers, higher trims offer dual 14.3-inch high-resolution displays with Google built-in, Klipsch® 12-speaker premium audio, and available Biometric Cooling, which personalizes the cabin temperature based on passenger detection. Eight USB-C ports ensure everyone stays powered, while wireless charging and an available Head-Up Display add convenience from every angle.

The 2026 Armada’s design commands attention at every intersection in Fort Worth. With chiseled proportions, a bold new grille, and signature LED lighting, it’s a modern interpretation of strength.

The new PRO-4X stands tall with a unique off-road front bumper, black fender flares, and Lava Red accents that highlight its adventurous attitude. Meanwhile, the sleek NISMO edition features exclusive aerodynamic fascias, a rear spoiler, and 22-inch forged alloy wheels for a sportier stance.

Color options range from deep Alpine Metallic and Black Diamond Pearl to bold two-tone finishes like Coulis Red Pearl / Super Black and Everest White Pearl TriCoat / Super Black. Body-color running boards, a panoramic moonroof, and motion-activated liftgate come standard on higher trims, merging convenience with curb appeal.

The Armada leads with advanced connectivity and confidence-inspiring safety. The centerpiece of the dash is the NissanConnect® infotainment system, available with a 14.3-inch touchscreen and 14.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Integration with Google Maps™, Assistant, and Play Store allows for real-time navigation and updates.

Entertainment gets an upgrade too, with the Klipsch® Premium Audio System delivering concert-quality sound, and an available Intelligent Dash Cam capturing every drive.

Safety remains paramount, with Nissan Safety Shield® 360 standard across all trims, including:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

• Blind Spot Warning

• Lane Departure Warning

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert

• Rear Automatic Braking

• High Beam Assist

Higher trims add Traffic Sign Recognition, ProPILOT Assist 2.1 with hands-off freeway driving, and the innovative Invisible Hood View—a camera system that lets drivers “see through” the front end for tight maneuvering in parking lots or off-road settings.

The SV trim is well-equipped from the start, offering 18-inch alloy wheels, Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and a 12.3-inch NissanConnect® display. Inside, you’ll find durable leatherette seating, wireless smartphone connectivity, six USB-C ports, and Safety Shield® 360. For families seeking power, practicality, and reliability, the SV is the ideal entry point.

The SL enhances refinement with 20-inch machined alloy wheels, heated front seats, and TailorFit™ upholstery. A power liftgate, panoramic moonroof, and Klipsch® Premium Audio system join the list of premium upgrades. With the available ProPILOT Assist Package, the SL blends modern luxury with everyday usability.

The Platinum trim embodies elegance, adding massaging front seats, a Head-Up Display, and 14.3-inch digital displays. Inside, quilted leather and ambient lighting set the mood, while exterior details include a rear LED light bar and body-color running boards. Platinum is for drivers who crave technology and sophistication in equal measure.

Built for those who take the road less traveled, the PRO-4X brings true off-road credentials with adaptive air suspension, electronic locking rear differential, and metal skid plates. Its rugged look is matched by black overfenders, Lava Red accents, and unique 20-inch PRO-4X wheels. Inside, PRO-4X-embroidered quilted leather seats and Lava Red contrast stitching add a bold, adventure-ready style.

Performance enthusiasts will love the Armada NISMO, the most powerful version ever built. Its 460-hp twin-turbo V6 is tuned for sharper throttle response, paired with NISMO-tuned steering and Adaptive Air Suspension for precise handling. Exterior enhancements include NISMO-specific fascias, forged 22-inch alloy wheels, and red brake calipers, while the cabin showcases Ultrasuede® and leather sport seating with adjustable side bolsters. The NISMO’s blend of sport and sophistication sets it apart as the ultimate performance SUV.

At the top of the lineup, the Platinum Reserve redefines full-size luxury. With 22-inch machined wheels, premium quilted leather upholstery, heated second-row seats, and exclusive Chestnut and Rye TailorFit™ interiors, it’s the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Features like Biometric Cooling, massaging front seats, and multi-color ambient lighting make every drive around DFW an experience worth savoring.

The 2026 Nissan Armada represents the best of both worlds: cutting-edge technology and proven capability. With trims that cater to every lifestyle—from the value-packed SV to the trail-ready PRO-4X and performance-focused NISMO—it’s a vehicle designed for Texas living.
