J.D. Power has recognized both the Nissan Armada and the Nissan Murano as segment winners in its 2026 APEAL Study. The Armada tied for the top spot among Large SUVs, while the Murano placed first in the Midsize SUV category. Drawing from survey results taken within the initial 90 days of ownership, the study gauges driver feedback regarding comfort, ergonomics, performance, and vehicle styling.
Nissan’s biggest SUV lineup grows more exciting with the introduction of the 2026 Armada NISMO. Designed for drivers who want both performance and practicality, this new model offers increased power, enhanced handling, and bold design—all while maintaining the comfort and spaciousness the Armada is known for.
Nissan’s Armada has a storied past, but the 2025 model feels like a fresh start. This next-generation Armada carries the model’s signature style while embracing a forward-looking approach. Nissan aimed to blend curb appeal with enhanced off-road capabilities, adding both physical upgrades and cutting-edge tech to achieve this balance.
