Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Pilot than in the Nissan Armada. The Nissan Armada will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Pilot.

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). Clearly, the Honda Pilot is a better financial choice over the Nissan Armada, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Pilot is much slimmer than the Nissan Armada, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Honda Pilot is slightly shorter than the Nissan Armada, which may make it easier to park.

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

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

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