A Bold New Era: What’s New for the 2026 Armada

The 2026 Armada sheds its old skin to reveal a powertrain that defines the modern age. Gone is the V8, replaced by a sophisticated 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 that actually delivers more heart-pounding performance with 425 horsepower and a massive 516 lb-ft of torque. For those who crave the ultimate expression of Nissan performance, the first-ever Armada NISMO 4WD joins the lineup, pushing output to a staggering 460 horsepower with track-tuned suspension and aggressive aerodynamic styling that turns every cul-de-sac into a starting grid.

How much can the new V6 tow?

Despite moving to a V6, the 2026 Armada maintains a heavy-duty maximum towing capacity of 8,500 lbs, thanks to the massive 516 lb-ft of torque from the twin-turbo setup.

What is the seating configuration?

The Armada offers seating for 7 or 8 passengers depending on the trim. For the first time, second-row captain's chairs are now available on the off-road-oriented PRO-4X trim.
