Comparison Review

Comfort
The Genesis GV80 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Armada, with comparable head- and legroom. The Nissan Armada offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV80, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Genesis GV80 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Nissan Armada.

Dimensions
Since the Genesis GV80 is much slimmer than the Nissan Armada, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Genesis GV80, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Armada.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Nissan Armada is clearly the choice over the Genesis GV80 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Genesis GV80 has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Armada.

Powertrain
The Genesis GV80 has much lower torque than the Nissan Armada, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Genesis GV80 seats a lot fewer people than the Nissan Armada.
