2026 Nissan Armada Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Armada trim does Edmunds recommend?

Nissan hasn't released official information on the 2026 Armada as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Armada, the SL strikes us as the best balance of content and price. Upgrades like the premium audio system and heated front seats are the sort of thing drivers can appreciate every day, and Nissan's hands-free ProPilot Assist 2.1 is available as an option.

2026 Armada trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Armada. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Nissan Armada is a full-size SUV with seating for up to eight people. It is available in five trim levels: SV, SL, Platinum, Pro-4X and Platinum Reserve.
Every Armada has a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine (425 horsepower, 516 lb-ft of torque) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with a four-wheel-drive system available as an option (standard on the Pro-4X). Below, you'll find the equipment highlights for each trim level.

SV
The Armada SV starts you off with these standard features:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Automatic high-beam LED headlights
  • Roof rails
  • Running boards
  • 12.3-inch digital driver display
  • Triple-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration with wireless capability

The Armada also includes several standard safety features, such as:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Armada and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your path while you're in reverse)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

SL
Choose the Armada SL for its many upgrades, including:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Heated, power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Premium synthetic leather upholstery (Nissan's TailorFit)
  • Six-way power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Navigation system
  • Alexa Built-in
  • 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Armada and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Trailer reversing assistance (Nissan's Trailer Backup Assist)

Platinum
For a more luxurious and technologically sophisticated Armada, the Platinum adds:

  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • 14.3-inch digital driver display
  • Quilted leather upholstery
  • 12-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row captain's chairs
  • 14.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Digital rearview mirror function (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

Pro-4X
Made for off-roading, the Armada Pro-4X has a mix of SL and Platinum features, plus:

  • Distinct 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Revised front bumper with increased approach angle
  • Hill descent control
  • Electronic locking rear differential
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Red recovery hooks
  • Integrated trailer brake controller
  • Exclusive exterior and interior design details

A Premium package adds the missing features from the Platinum trim level, such as:

  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • 12-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row seats

Platinum Reserve
For maximum coddling, the Platinum Reserve offers:

  • 22-inch alloy wheels
  • Integrated trailer brake controller
  • Puddle lighting
  • Massaging front seats
  • Front center airbags

Nissan offers its ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-free highway driving technology on the SL, Platinum and Platinum Reserve. It upgrades the Armada with ambient lighting that works in conjunction with the technology and a head-up display.
