Nissan Armada

An issue with the rearview camera has prompted Nissan to recall more than 60,000 SUVs, including the Armada, Murano and Infiniti QX80.

In an era where automakers take themselves entirely too seriously, the 2026 Nissan Armada NISMO’s mere existence is a net positive.

There’s a new NISMO trim level and the Pro-4X can now be had with second-row captain’s chairs, but the rest of the 2026 Armada lineup is mostly unchanged from 2025.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Shopping for a three-row SUV means balancing priorities of seat quantity versus comfort. If the number of seats trump all, many three-row SUVs offer a second-row bench, but other models give up the second-row middle seat for captain’s chairs.

When it comes to operation, actually driving and using them, many of us prefer the mainstream-branded versions of big SUVs to the fancier, more luxurious, more expensive luxury-brand versions.

Need to tow tons but don’t want a pickup truck? There are plenty of SUVs that can tow as much as a truck and haul up to eight family members and their toys in comfort.

For the 2026 model year, you can order your new Nissan Armada, the brand’s biggest and heaviest SUV, in NISMO spec.

To test the redesigned 2025 Nissan Armada’s towing performance, we hooked it up to a camper trailer and towed over large elevation changes to see how well it performed.

Model-year 2025 examples of the Audi Q6 e-Tron, Buick Enclave and Nissan Armada have emerged from a recent round of crash testing crowned as IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winners.
