The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with a wide variety in its model range and the best safety ratings in its class.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Rivals are roomier</li>
<li>High fuel costs</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Nissan Armada is powered by a 425-hp turbocharged V6 engine matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD). This engine makes more power and torque than the V8 in the previous generation of the Armada. Upgrading to the NISMO trim pumps up the horsepower rating to 460.
We were impressed when we tested this generation of the Nissan Armada and didn’t miss the old V8, even when we towed a camper with it. The extra power and torque are noticeable with energetic power delivery that’s smooth on the highway. Speaking of smooth, we were impressed with the Armada’s new adaptive suspension system that underpins the PRO-4X and Platinum Reserve trims. There’s minimal roll in tight turns and hardly any nosedive effect in hard braking, making this big SUV feel very stable.
One of the new Armada features we’re most excited about is ProPILOT Assist 2.1. This option allows for hands-off driving on highways mapped by Nissan. It keeps you safely in your lane at a safe distance from the car in front of you; all you need to do is stay alert with your eyes on the road. The hands-free functionality works well, and Nissan estimates about 200,000 miles of North American highways are mapped, which is less than GM’s Super Cruise and more than Ford&#8217;s BlueCruise.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Nissan Armada returns up to 16 city/20 highway/18 combined mpg with rear-wheel drive and 16 city/19 highway/17 combined mpg with 4-wheel drive. Since premium gas is recommended, the turbo V6 in the Armada has the highest fuel costs of any base engine in this class. The standard V8 in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/tahoe/">Chevy Tahoe</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon/">GMC Yukon</a> is a little less efficient, but since it runs on regular gas, it has lower <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a>-estimated fuel costs.
The turbo 6-cylinder engines in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/expedition/">Ford Expedition</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/wagoneer/">Jeep Wagoneer</a> are a little more efficient and also run on regular gas. Meanwhile, the hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/sequoia/">Toyota Sequoia</a> gets up to 22 combined mpg, and the diesel available in the Tahoe and Yukon gets up to 24 combined mpg.

Bold Exterior

Exterior

The Nissan Armada has a boxy, adventurous design and tall ground clearance, which is functional when driving on rough terrain, whether a rocky trail or a snowy road. We like the distinct light signature (especially with the optional full-width LED taillamp) and the two-tone roof treatment on the upper trims. Its aesthetic can range from rugged (PRO-4X) to sporty (NISMO) to fancy (Platinum Reserve).

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Rugged PRO-4X model 
We’ve been impressed with Nissan pickup trucks that have worn the PRO-4X badge, and now the Armada has its own dedicated off-road trim. In addition to standard 4-wheel drive, it has all-terrain tires, eight drive modes, an electronic locking rear differential, Invisible Hood View, and a functional appearance package with real skid plates and a more favorable approach angle.
Fancy Platinum Reserve trim 
If you’ll drive your Armada to charity galas more often than trailheads, then the Platinum Reserve model may be more to your taste. This new luxury trim borrows some features and technology from the Infiniti QX80, including quilted leather massaging seats, Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension, 22-inch wheels, and an available Klipsch audio system.
NISMO model 
The first-ever Armada NISMO joins the lineup for 2026, bringing sporty performance and aesthetics to this plus-size family SUV. It pumps out 460 hp and comes with performance upgrades to its suspension, steering, exhaust, and tires
Hands-free driving 
The Nissan Armada joins a growing number of full-size SUVs offering hands-free driving on select highways. With the available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 system, you can take your hands off the wheel on over 200,000 miles of U.S. highways.
Wireless smartphone connectivity 
We always love to see wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard for easy smartphone connectivity for maps, music, and more.
Towing talent 
The turbo V6 in the Nissan Armada has the same maximum towing capacity as the V8 in the previous generation: 8,500 pounds. That makes this rig suitable for towing a wide range of toys, from boats to campers and more.

Modern Interior

Interior

We admit that we always found the interior space of the previous-generation Nissan Armada disappointing, especially in the third row and cargo area. We must not have been the only ones because Nissan made the Armada’s interior quite a bit roomier with its 2025 redesign, which carries over into 2026. We climbed in the third row and were pleasantly surprised with an extra 5.7 inches of legroom compared to the past models, but found the headroom a little tight for adults. There’s also more legroom in the first row and 24% more cargo space behind the third row. The passenger space is good, but it’s still not as roomy as American rivals.
When we got behind the wheel of the Armada, we were also impressed with the technology and overall quality. Cabin materials and overall fit-and-finish are decidedly upmarket, especially in the Infiniti-like Platinum Reserve trim. At the top trim level, you get luxuries like heated, power-reclining third-row seats, a second-row center console, and what Nissan calls Biometric Cooling, which can detect overheated passengers in the first and second rows and direct more cool air toward them.
Standard dual 12.3-inch displays deliver information to the driver, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard. An immersive Klipsch premium audio system is standard on all but the base trim, and the screens can get even bigger to 14.3 inches each. We were pleased with the ergonomic layout of the controls, but we’re not big fans of the horizontally oriented gearshift buttons by the center console. Maybe the available massaging seats and quilted leather will make us forget about them.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Nissan Armada doesn’t have the sales numbers of its American rivals in the full-size SUV class, but it makes a strong case as a capable and family-friendly rig. The wide variety in its model range includes the rugged PRO-4X model, the luxurious Platinum Reserve trim, and the sporty new NISMO variant. Meanwhile, the lower trims provide a strong value with lots of standard features at a reasonable price point. The Armada can tow 8,500 pounds, is available with hands-free highway driving, and is the only SUV in its class that earns the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ rating. It adds up to a practical and value-packed SUV that the whole family will enjoy.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/">full-size SUVs</a>, including the 2026 Nissan Armada.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

We expect the 2026 Nissan Armada to start at about $59,000. The Armada is historically priced on the lower side of full-size SUVs, and we expect that trend to continue. The luxurious Platinum Reserve trim could start as high as $80,000.

Before buying an Armada, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Nissan Armada resale value is okay, but it lags behind rivals from GM and Toyota. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

The standard engine powering the Nissan Armada is a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 rated at 425 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. In the NISMO trim, it’s upgraded to 460 hp. That’s more power and torque than the V8 in older models, yet this engine still achieves the same max tow rating of 8,500 pounds. Power is routed to either the rear or all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Nissan Armada is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This warranty coverage is average for this class.
<h3>Class-Leading Safety Scores</h3>
This generation of the Nissan Armada has earned the coveted Top Safety Pick+ from the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>. Notably, it’s the only non-luxury model in the &#8220;Large SUV&#8221; category that earns this honor. It comes well equipped with standard safety features such as automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist.

The 2026 Kia Sportage Hybrid compact SUV brilliantly blends style, technology, and high fuel efficiency.

<ul>
<li>Audio/HVAC control learning curve</li>
</ul>

If higher fuel efficiency isn’t reason enough to choose the Kia Sportage Hybrid over the standard gas model, perhaps more power will move the needle. And for 2026, the Sportage Hybrid improves there, too. The gas-electric hybrid powertrain with its 1.6-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine sees a power bump to 232 horsepower, five more ponies than the prior year. Compare that to the 187 hp in the gas-only model, and you can see how hybrids make so much sense.
In our testing of this powertrain over the years, we’ve found its smoothness just a step behind its Toyota and Honda rivals, but pleasant and eager enough all the same. And one aspect we like about this Kia hybrid SUV not found on those rivals is its use of a transmission with traditional gears — six, in this case — instead of a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that can tend to drone, especially in hybrid applications.
<h3>Fuel economy</h3>
If gas stations are your kryptonite, the base Sportage Hybrid LX is actually the one that will keep you away from them the most. It’s the star of the efficiency show here with an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The other trims get 35 mpg. The difference is because the LX is front-wheel drive, while the others have all-wheel drive standard.

Upmarket Design

The Kia Sportage Hybrid was already arguably the most sophisticated-looking mainstream compact SUV, and even that aspect has been upgraded for 2026. Kia’s “opposites united” design language has tweaked the LED “star map” lighting and the Sportage’s can’t-miss amber daytime running lights. We think the whole thing is one striking and cohesive design. And what’s more, it doesn’t crimp on interior space.
We also appreciate that Kia gives the all-wheel-drive models – that is, all trims except the base LX – more ground clearance: 8.3 inches, vs the 7.1 of the front-drive LX.

Tech and more tech: Where some rivals max out at 9-inch screens as standard, the Kia Sportage Hybrid has a 12.3-inch unit. Combined with the 12.3-inch instrument display, it makes a slick setup.
HUD: New to the 2026 model range, the top-line Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige gains a 10-inch head-up display that displays vital information on the windshield so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.
Wireless connectivity: All 2026 Sportage Hybrid models have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the EX, X-Line, and SX Prestige trims get a wireless charging pad.
Over-the-air updates: You know how your phone and computer can get better over time? Thanks to OTA updates, the Sportage Hybrid can, too. No visit to the dealer is needed.
Highway Driving Assist 2: While all Sportage Hybrid models have adaptive cruise control, this system in the SX Prestige takes semi-autonomous driving to another level thanks to features like automatic lane changes and advanced lane centering.
Ventilated front seats: Another perk of the SX Prestige, your posterior will thank you on a hot summer’s day. This model also has a heated steering wheel and heated rear outboard seats.

Innovative Interior

Our editors have long been impressed with the Kia Sportage Hybrid’s interior, and for 2026, it only improves. All models now come standard with Kia’s innovative 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays, and a 10-inch head-up display is now fitted in the top-line SX Prestige trim. This kind of tech used to be the domain of expensive luxury cars.
Even the base model has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and upholstery ranges from woven cloth to standard or premium SynTex, a synthetic leather.
One aspect we’ve found takes some getting used to is the dual audio/climate controls, which can be toggled to adjust each. Kia promises that switching between the functions is now more natural. We give the Sportage Hybrid kudos for making dual-zone climate control and rear AC vents standard, something human and canine passengers can both appreciate.
One aspect no one can quibble with is space. The Kia Sportage excels here, and that includes the hybrid. Behind the rear seats are 39.5 cubic feet of cargo room, which expands to 73.7 with the seats folded. That first figure is a touch bigger than the CR-V Hybrid’s, and the latter just a few behind. Rear-seat legroom is also impressive at 41.3 inches, a hair more than the Honda’s.
