Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Armada than in the Genesis GV80, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Genesis GV80 and the Nissan Armada.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Genesis GV80 as you will with the Nissan Armada, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The Genesis GV80 is somewhat more expensive 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.

Handling

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Nissan Armada is clearly the choice over the Genesis GV80 for pulling heavy loads. The Genesis GV80 has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Armada.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Genesis GV80 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Nissan Armada.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Genesis GV80 and the Nissan Armada. The Genesis GV80 has less cargo space than the Nissan Armada, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
