High-performance 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO carrying a Canadian price tag of CAD 103,498, boasts a horsepower of 460.
The 2026 Nissan Armada lineup is set to impress, offering a variety of trims tailored to different preferences. Topping the range is the performance-focused NISMO trim, designed for those seeking sportier dynamics and a bold appearance.
The Powerful Armada NISMO
The Armada NISMO is a performance powerhouse, boasting a staggering 460 horsepower. This is achieved through the NISMO-tuned twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 engine, which benefits from revised engine programming and finely tuned valve clearances.
The NISMO's performance credentials extend to its suspension and steering. The electric power steering has been exclusively tuned for sportier feedback, while the suspension and exhaust systems have been sport-tuned for a more engaging driving experience and an aggressive exhaust sound.
The Armada NISMO also stands out visually with NISMO-designed front and rear fascias, an exclusive grille, side steps, rear spoiler, and fender flares. It rides on NISMO-specific 22-inch forged alloy wheels.
