Key Features of the 2026 Nissan Armada

3.5L Twin-turbo V6

The heart of Armada’s capability is its advanced 3.5L twin-turbo V6. This engine produces 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque and pairs with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic for responsive acceleration and easy highway merging. Nissan engineered this powerplant with lessons learned from the GT-R® sports car, including a scavenging oil pump to help maintain performance in demanding conditions. The turbos themselves are constructed from a nickel-based superalloy that resists extreme heat and promotes durability over the long haul. Beyond raw output, the engine integrates confidently with Armada’s Intelligent 4WD with a 2-speed transfer case and Drive and Terrain Mode Selector, so you can adapt to rain, snow, mud, or gravel. Hill start assist helps prevent rollback on steep grades, and hill descent control helps regulate your pace when the trail points down. When it is time to bring the toys, Armada’s up to 8,500-lb towing capacity and available integrated Trailer Brake Controller make hauling simpler and more composed.

Monolith Display

Armada’s cockpit is anchored by the Monolith Display—over 28 inches of combined high-resolution screen space that delivers a cinema-like vista of your drive. With a thin bezel design and a near-seamless bridge between the driver’s display and touch-screen, the interface feels cohesive and modern. Time-of-Day Backgrounds add an intuitive visual layer, aligning the experience to your environment. Available Google built-in integrates Google Maps™, Google Assistant, and Google Play for voice-controlled navigation, natural-language commands for climate and audio, and easy access to your favorite apps. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your smartphone front and center without the clutter of cables, and NissanConnect® with Wi-Fi Hotspot supports connectivity for up to seven devices. For audiophiles, the available 12-speaker Klipsch® Premium Audio System fills the cabin with crisp, immersive sound. From the driver’s seat to the third row, big-screen clarity and smart integration make every mile more informed and entertaining.

ProPILOT Assist 2.1

On compatible roads, available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 can reduce fatigue on longer journeys by supporting eyes-on, hands- and feet-off driving, while also assisting with smooth lane changes and freeway cruising. It uses a network of sensors, cameras, mapping, and driver monitoring to help you maintain appropriate following distances, keep centered, and anticipate traffic flow. Intelligent Cruise Control with full speed range and hold works in stop-and-go situations, and with Navi-link, the system can help anticipate curves and speed-limit changes to adjust your speed. ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call can bring the vehicle to a controlled stop and initiate a call if the system detects the driver is unresponsive. Together, these innovations bring next-level convenience to your drive—confident support that complements your skills rather than replacing them, and thoughtful oversight that encourages alert, engaged motoring throughout the trip.

Invisible Hood View

Armada’s available 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Invisible Hood View offers a uniquely confidence-inspiring perspective—think of it as real-world X-ray vision for the front end. At low speeds and in tight or technical situations, the system’s cameras stitch together a virtual view showing what is directly beneath the front of the vehicle, helping you avoid hidden hazards like sharp rocks on a trail, high curbs when parallel parking, or toys left at the edge of your driveway. Front Wide View extends your awareness even further, and the 3D rendering provides fixed perspectives to make your surroundings easier to interpret. Whether you are easing a trailer into a narrow launch ramp or threading through a crowded garage, this multi-angled visibility turns guesswork into precision.

Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension

Available Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension helps Armada strike the perfect balance between comfort, control, and capability. On-road, the system can automatically lower at higher speeds to enhance stability and efficiency. Off-road, you can raise ride height to improve ground clearance when the trail gets rutted or rocky. The result is a composed, responsive feel across diverse conditions. It also adds practical benefits in daily life. When parked, the suspension can lower to make loading cargo easier and to help passengers climb in and out with minimal effort. Paired with the PRO-4X® model’s underbody metal skid plates, electronic locking rear differential, and all-terrain tires, the suspension becomes a pillar of Armada’s do-anything, go-anywhere character—refined on the highway, confident on dirt, and convenient in your driveway.
