Comparison Review

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

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 Nissan Armada will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Pathfinder, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Armada is much wider than the Nissan Pathfinder, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan Armada, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Pathfinder.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Nissan Armada does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Utility
The Nissan Armada offers greater seating capacity than the Nissan Pathfinder, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Nissan Armada has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Pathfinder.
