Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Armada than in the Volkswagen Taos. The Nissan Armada offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Taos, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Armada is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, 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 Volkswagen Taos.

Handling
The Nissan Armada has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Armada greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

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 Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
The Nissan Armada offers greater seating capacity than the Volkswagen Taos, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Nissan Armada, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volkswagen Taos.
