The 2026 Nissan Armada lineup adds the new Nismo model, and now we know how much it costs.
Hefty vehicles tend to come with a hefty price tag, and the 2026 Nissan Armada is no exception. Not only are the actual suggested retail prices higher than 2025, the first year of this new Armada, but the destination charge also increases to an even more substantial $2,190. Across the board, you can expect to pay higher prices, though the largest price increase starts at the bottom of the trim ladder, with the SV model.
The price hike comes as imported vehicles — of which the Japan-built Armada/Patrol is one — face tariffs on their inbound trip to the United States. That said, apart from the $61,030 SV (which sees a $1,615 hike for the RWD model and $2,615 for the 4WD version), things could be worse: all other trims are $855 higher than they were in 2025. The major headline of the company’s most recent pricing announcement, however, is the performance-oriented Nismo model. Just how hard is that particular model going to hit your wallet?
Well, I hope you’re sitting down, because it certainly isn’t cheap. If you need a quick primer, the 2026 Nissan Armada Nismo is the automaker’s effort to spice up its body-on-frame family bus a little bit, with 35 more horsepower than the standard model (for 460 total). You also get some sportier styling elements and retuned suspension, to try and sell the prospect of a huge performance SUV to would-be buyers. I mean, when the Cadillac Escalade-V and Mercedes-AMG GLS63 exist, you can see Nissan’s motivation a bit, whether you think it missed the mark or not. All that said, if you want to pick up an Armada Nismo for yourself, you can expect to pay at least $81,720 — almost as much as the more luxurious $82,740 Platinum Reserve 4WD.
It’s by no means a convenient truth, but the 2026 Nissan Armada’s pricing is still competitive against the competition. Shop around a bit, and you’ll notice how starting MSRPs stack up:
| Model | Starting MSRP (Trim) | Highest MSRP (Trim) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Nissan Armada | $61,030 (SV RWD) | $81,720 (Platinum Reserve 4WD) |
| Chevrolet Tahoe | $62,095 (LS RWD) | $80,295 (High Country 4WD) |
| Ford Expedition (non-Max) | $64,515 (Active 4×2) | $86,170 (King Ranch 4×4) |
| GMC Yukon (non-XL) | $70,495 (Elevation RWD) | $103,595 (Denali Ultimate 4WD) |
| Jeep Wagoneer (non-L) | $62,040 (Base 4×2) | $83,230 (Super 4×4) |
| Toyota Sequoia | $66,120 (SR5 RWD) | $86,530 (Capstone 4WD) |
What about the Pro-4X?
Like the SL, Platinum and Platinum Reserve trims, the 2026 Nissan Armada Pro-4X sees an $855 increase over last year. That puts this year’s pricing at $76,490 to start. For that, you get adaptive air suspension, a locking rear differential, underbody skid plates and all-terrain tires wrapped around 20-inch gloss black wheels.
For the 2026 model year, buyers can equip the Pro-4X with second-row captain’s chairs, instead of a bench seat.
