New Inventory View Gallery Contact Us

A full-size SUV is often chosen for space and comfort. That part is already expected. But something extra is offered here. A stronger personality is built into this trim. It feels more focused and more performance-driven. The base version does the job well, but this one pushes things further. A more aggressive feel is noticed right away, both in how it looks and how it moves.

Power That Feels More Alive

Power That Feels More Alive

The base version already carries a strong engine. That same 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 is used here. But the tuning is adjusted to feel sharper. Around 460 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque are delivered with more urgency. The 9-speed automatic transmission is also tuned for quicker response.

Acceleration feels smoother and stronger at the same time. The base model feels steady, but this one feels more energetic. It responds faster when the pedal is pressed. This difference becomes noticeable on highways around Calgary, especially during merging or passing.

A Design That Speaks Louder

The first thing most people notice is the design. The standard model looks bold, but this trim looks even more serious. A sportier front grille is added. Unique red accents are placed around the exterior. These small details create a stronger road presence.

Larger 20-inch alloy wheels are included here, which are not available on the other models. They fill the wheel arches better and give a planted look. Dark exterior elements and sharper lines make it stand out more. It feels less like a family SUV and more like something built with attitude.

Interior That Feels More Performance-Focused

Inside, the differences continue. The base model focuses on comfort. That is still present here, but a sportier touch is added.

Special stitched seats are included with Nismo branding. A mix of leather and sport materials is used. Red contrast stitching runs across the cabin. It creates a more energetic feel compared to the simpler base interior.

The steering wheel is also upgraded. It feels thicker and more performance-inspired. Aluminum pedals are added as well. These small details change the overall driving experience. It feels more connected and engaging.

Technology That Feels More Premium

Technology is already strong in the base version. But this trim brings a more refined experience. A larger 14.3-inch infotainment display is included with improved graphics and faster response.

A premium sound system is also added, which is not standard on the base version. Music feels clearer and deeper. Long drives around Alberta feel more enjoyable because of this.

Wireless smartphone integration and advanced connectivity features are also enhanced. The experience feels smoother and more modern compared to the base setup.

Handling That Feels More Controlled

One of the biggest differences is how it drives. The base version is comfortable and stable. This trim adds a more tuned suspension system.

The ride feels tighter and more controlled. Body movement is reduced during turns. This makes highway driving feel more confident.

Even on uneven roads, the balance between comfort and control is well maintained. It feels like the SUV is more planted. This is something that drivers will notice quickly, especially during longer drives outside the city.

Safety That Feels Smarter

Safety features are already strong in the base version. But here, more advanced systems are included.

A more refined driver assistance package is offered. It includes improved adaptive cruise control and enhanced lane assistance. The system reacts faster and feels more natural.

A 360-degree camera system with better clarity is also included. Parking such a large vehicle becomes easier. These upgrades make daily driving less stressful.

 

Cargo Space and Practical Use

Cargo space remains generous, as expected. Up to around 2,750 litres of maximum cargo capacity is available when seats are folded.

The difference here is not in size, but in usability. Added convenience features like a power tailgate with hands-free access make loading easier. These details are not always available on the base version.

For families or road trips across Alberta, this small upgrade makes a big difference.

Fuel Efficiency and Real-World Use

Fuel efficiency remains similar to the base version, sitting around 13.7 L/100 km combined. The focus here is not on saving fuel, but on delivering a better driving feel.

Despite the performance tuning, efficiency stays reasonable for a full-size SUV. This balance makes it practical for everyday use.

Recognized Strength Over the Years

This SUV lineup has been appreciated over time. Between 2022 and 2024, it gained attention for its strong build, solid towing power, and a comfortable interior. It has been trusted by many drivers for everyday use and long trips. Over the years, it has also received several awards that show its value and reliability. This trim continues that strong foundation while bringing in a more exciting feel.

Why This Trim Feels Like a Big Step Up

The base version is already capable. It offers space, comfort, and strong performance. But this trim adds emotion to the experience.

It looks more aggressive. It feels quicker. It drives with more confidence. The interior feels more premium and sporty at the same time.

These upgrades are not just small changes. They change how the vehicle feels every day. That is what makes it special.
