The 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO: Big, Bold, and Built for Thrills

Full-size SUVs aren’t usually known for being “fun to drive” — but Nissan just changed the game. Say hello to the 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO, the first performance-tuned Armada in history. It blends the everyday comfort you expect from a flagship SUV with NISMO’s motorsport DNA, and the result is nothing short of exciting. At Fred Martin Nissan in Akron, OH, we can’t wait to get this one on our lot.

Performance You Can Feel

The Armada NISMO isn’t just about getting from point A to point B — it’s about enjoying every mile in between. Here’s why:

460-hp Twin-Turbo V6

A 460-hp twin-turbo V6, tuned by NISMO engineers for maximum punch (that’s 35 more hp than the standard Armada).

Adaptive Air Suspension

Adaptive air suspension that keeps you planted in corners without sacrificing ride comfort.

Sport-Tuned Steering and Exhaust

Sport-tuned steering and exhaust for sharper response and a sound that’ll make you grin every time you accelerate.

This is a full-size SUV that acts like a performance vehicle — and looks the part.

Looks as Aggressive as It Drives

From the moment you see it, you’ll know the Armada NISMO is different. It wears:

22-inch Forged RAYS® Wheels

22-inch forged RAYS® wheels wrapped in performance tires.

NISMO-Exclusive Body Kit

A NISMO-exclusive body kit with custom front and rear fascias, fender flares, and a rear spoiler.

Standout Paint Options

Two standout paint options: Stealth Gray and Black Diamond Pearl.

Red Brake Calipers and NISMO Badging

Red brake calipers and signature NISMO badging.

It’s bold, athletic, and impossible to mistake for anything else.

Luxury That Goes the Distance

The Armada NISMO’s cabin is as refined as its exterior is aggressive. You’ll find:

Suede-Appointed Sport Seats

Suede-appointed sport seats with red accents and bolsters that hug you in place.

Aluminum Sport Pedals

Aluminum sport pedals for a race-ready touch.

Panoramic Moonroof

A panoramic moonroof to take in the scenery.

Heated and Massaging Front Seats

Heated and massaging front seats for next-level comfort on long drives.

This is a performance SUV that doesn’t ask you to compromise on luxury.

More Reasons to Get Excited About 2026

Even beyond the NISMO model, the Armada lineup sees exciting updates for 2026:

PRO-4X Captain’s Chair Package

The PRO-4X Captain’s Chair Package for a more premium second-row experience.

NissanConnect® Services

NissanConnect® Services with SiriusXM360L and myQ® Connected Garage now standard on SV trims.

Be the First to Drive It

The 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO will be arriving at a later date at Fred Martin Nissan, and demand is expected to be high. If you want a full-size SUV with performance pedigree, premium comfort, and unmistakable style, this is the one to watch.
