• The gargantuan Nissan Armada will start at $85,498 in Canada for model year 2026

• For the off-road enthusiasts, a Pro-4X option adds all-terrain tires and other goodies

Nissan places the enormous Armada atop its SUV product line, both in terms of size and price. This year, it’ll cost Canadians at least $85,498 to get in the door—though the tastiest trims will cost a bit extra.

First up is the SL trim, one which is unlikely to be found in any great number on dealer lots. It will be priced at the aforementioned $85,498 ($89,351 with fees) and is the only one to make do with features like a 12.3-inch gauge display and the lack of a 3D-type around-view monitor or so-called “intelligent” rear-view mirror. We don’t know how many fleet sales the Armada counts amongst its numbers these days, if any, but that’s likely where the SL will appear.

A Platinum trim sits just above the SL at $94,498 ($98,351 including fees) but it’s the next-rung Pro-4X where things start to get more interesting. At that level, look for the likes of all-terrain tires, better approach and departure angles than other trims, and a generally more rugged appearance than any other trim in the Armada line. That one will set ya back an MSRP of $95,498 ($99,351 including fees).

Bookending the Pro-4X is the new Nismo trim, packing 460 horsepower (35 more than other trims) when fed premium fuel and bearing an exterior look all its own compared to other Armada SUVs. A snarlier exhaust, Stealth Gray and red two-tone colour scheme, and less ground clearance than other trims help mark the Nismo. Atop the line is the $105,598 ($111,341 including fees) Platinum Reserve, with tony brown seats plus all manner of luxury and tech features. An “invisible hood” view is a particularly neat party trick, while the dandy Klipsch audio system is truly a treat for audiophiles.

Every new 2026 Armada sold in this country is equipped with four-wheel-drive and powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine, a mill which actually shares some roots with the mighty GT-R, permitting owners to accurately brag about such to their friends.
