2026 Nissan Armada: Price Now Over $60,000, New NISMO Model Joins the Lineup

The 2026 Nissan Armada is now more expensive, with the starting price crossing the $60,000 mark for the first time. This is mainly due to higher import tariffs and a new, higher destination charge of $2,190. The base SV RWD model now costs $61,030, while the SV 4WD is $64,030. Prices for all trims have gone up, but the Armada is still generally cheaper than its main rivals like the Toyota Sequoia, Jeep Wagoneer, and Chevrolet Tahoe.

What’s New for 2026?

• NISMO Model:
  Nissan has added a new high-performance Armada NISMO to the lineup. The NISMO version has 460 horsepower (35 more than the regular Armada), special styling, and handling upgrades. It costs $81,720, making it a more affordable performance SUV compared to the Cadillac Escalade-V or Mercedes-AMG GLS63.
• Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve:
  The Pro-4X is aimed at off-road fans, while the Platinum Reserve offers luxury features that rival more expensive SUVs like the Infiniti QX80.

How Does It Compare?

• The 2026 Toyota Sequoia starts at $66,120, which is $5,090 more than the Armada SV.
• The Jeep Wagoneer is $1,010 more than the Armada SV, and the top Wagoneer Super Special is only $490 more than the Armada Platinum Reserve.
• Even with the price increase, the Armada remains a value pick in the large SUV segment.
