2026 Nissan Armada
Impressive twin-turbocharged performance and robust capabilities lie at the heart of the 2026 Nissan Armada and 2026 Toyota Sequoia. The Armada offers two engine options — a standard 425-horsepower 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and a NISMO®-tuned variant that produces 460 horsepower, exclusively available on the NISMO trim. Both Armada powertrains come equipped with either 4×2 or 4×4 capability and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Toyota Sequoia comes standard with an i-FORCE MAX 3.445L twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine across its lineup, which pairs with a ten-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) and produces 437 horsepower.
Higher trims on either model include an adaptive suspension that adjusts to changing road conditions, and the Sequoia uniquely offers a load-leveling rear height control air suspension to help simplify trailer hauling and hookup. Additionally, the Armada offers a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds, and the Sequoia can tow up to 9,500 pounds.
