The main feature of the new model is the upgraded 3.5-liter V6 biturbo engine. NISMO engineers squeezed 460 hp and 699 Nm of torque from it. That’s 35 horsepower more than the standard Armada.
A sporty exhaust system with a "more expressive" sound complements the powerful engine. To ensure that the driver and passengers definitely hear it, an active augmentation system was added. It specifically highlights the growl of the exhaust pipes in the cabin.
The suspension has also been remodeled - it has been made sportier. The steering has also been retuned for sharper responses. 22-inch forged wheels are paired with high-performance tires, and the brake calipers are painted red.
The design of the Armada NISMO is quite distinctive. The front end has been completely redesigned: a tall grille and a new bumper with vertical air ducts have been added. Red accents, NISMO lettering, and a front splitter have also been incorporated. The fog lights are unique, as are the side steps. A new bumper with an impressive diffuser has been installed at the back.
Customers will be able to choose from several exclusive colors: NISMO Stealth Gray (metallic gray), the same color with a black roof, or Black Diamond Pearl (black pearl).
Inside, the changes look more subdued. Black leather seats with red diamond stitched accents were added, along with red contrasting stitching and aluminum pedals. The front seats received adjustable side bolsters - they better hold the body during turns. There is multicolor ambient lighting, a steering wheel with a red band in the center, and headrests with the NISMO logo.
The 2026 Armada NISMO will arrive at Nissan dealerships this fall. Prices have not been announced yet, but they will definitely be noticeably higher than the standard version.
