The Armada Nismo is priced $13,780 higher than the Z variant
issan introduced the 2026 Armada Nismo earlier this year and has now confirmed pricing will start at $79,530, positioning it just below the flagship Platinum Reserve trim.
The performance-focused SUV distinguishes itself with an all-new front end featuring a massive grille, unique bumper, splitter, red accents, and exclusive fog lights. Other upgrades include sportier side steps, 22-inch forged wheels with high-performance all-season tires, red brake calipers, Nismo fender badges, and a new rear bumper with a sporty diffuser.
Inside, the cabin continues the performance theme with black leather seats accented by red quilted inserts, contrast stitching, aluminum pedals, a red-striped steering wheel, Nismo-branded headrests, and a red push-button start.
Under the hood, the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 gets revised tuning, modified valve clearances, and a more aggressive exhaust note, boosting output by 35 hp to 460 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque—more than the Infiniti QX80. Suspension and steering have also been reworked for a sharper driving experience.
The 2026 Armada lineup starts at $58,840 before a $2,190 destination fee, with the Nismo trim commanding a $13,780 premium over the Z variant.
