Powertrain and performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Nissan Armada replaces the previous V8 with a more powerful 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 that is especially generous in torque. In the regular trims, this engine produces 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft, which is 25 horsepower and 103 lb-ft more than the previous engine.

The new Armada NISMO, a first in the model's history, raises output to 460 horsepower when it uses premium fuel. All trims feature a 9-speed automatic transmission that helps exploit torque effectively during acceleration and passing.

Even with several passengers, luggage or a trailer, the Armada maintains brisk acceleration and stable handling. It delivers the performance and confidence expected of a full-size SUV, both on the highway and when travelling with a significant load.

Nissan Armada: towing capacity and cargo space

Towing capacity reaches 8,500 lb. on all trims, enough for a large 30-foot trailer or a pontoon with trailer.

By comparison, many midsize SUVs top out at 5,000 lb.; the 3,500 lb. difference equals the weight of a second boat.

For cargo space, volume ranges from 578 litres behind the third row to 2,750 litres with the seats folded, enough to move the basement of a cottage in Casselman.

Our complete guide to Nissan SUVs and their towing capacity positions the Armada at the top of the lineup.

Onboard technology

The Armada features new cameras: an invisible hood view to see the terrain beneath the front of the vehicle, and a high-definition intelligent 3D around-view monitor. Google built-in (Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Play store) and the 12-speaker Klipsch sound system are standard. The available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 suite even enables hands-free driving on a single-lane highway with driver monitoring.

Dimensions of the 2026 Nissan Armada

The Nissan Armada's dimensions command respect: about 5,324 mm in length, depending on the trim, a wheelbase of 3,076 mm and a weight of roughly 5,952 lb. in Canadian configuration.

The high ground clearance can be adjusted thanks to the available air suspension that rises for off-road use and lowers on the highway.

Practically speaking, measure your garage before delivery: at over 5.3 metres, it is about 670 mm longer than a Sentra.

2026 Nissan Armada: interior and exterior design

The exterior shows a massive radiator grille, full-width LED lights and exclusive hues depending on the trim, including NISMO red accents.

Inside, the Armada offers an eight-seat interior, or seven with second-row captain's chairs, in a refined cabin fully illuminated by LEDs.

The PRO-4X adds confident off-road protection and accessories, with a ruggedness highlighted by skid plates.

2026 Nissan Armada: fuel economy

Let's talk numbers: fuel consumption is 14.7 L/100 km in the city, 12.4 on the highway and 13.7 combined. That is the reality of a twin-turbo gasoline engine moving 5,952 lb. It is also about 1 L/100 km better than the previous V8 on the highway.

On a round trip between Grenville and Cornwall, plan for around 25 litres of fuel.
