- #chevrolet #tahoe #nissan #armada Clavey compares two full-size SUVs: the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and the 2021 Nissan Armada. Does the Nissan even stand a chance?
Авто/Мото
I’ve driven both. A. Space better in Tahoe. B. Tahoe feels underpowered especially compared to Armada. C. Build quality is better in the armada. Japan made, time tested. It just feels better.
Add to that the Tahoe is way more money comparably equipped and it’s a no brained for my 4 person plus big dog family . Armada for the win.
Not only the space in Tahoe is better than Armada mainly the Tahoe is better ‘cause it’s equipped with the hands free foot activated trunk opener the Armada’s a piece of shit ‘cause it does not have the hands free foot trunk activation!
🤨Seriously.Rotflmao
one is a low-key land cruiser and the other is a GM ticking time bomb.
Armada all the way!
For real! Lol saw some bad reviews on the Tahoe and suburban on edmunds very disappointing. Customer complain transmission issues after road trip
@@Shane23Armadalol Chevy Products Junk!!!! 😂😂😂
Armada has my vote. With GM it just feels like you are just between recalls even if it's not the case.
😂😂😂😂
Amada wins it for me.
For me too
But the Armada does not have the hands free foot activated trunk opener like the Tahoe does.
@@davidchurchill1651 That's no big deal, they'll have that in the upcoming model that's for sure. Thank you!
Alhamdulillah in my experience owning nissan/infiniti, they are more reliable than the toyota/lexus. Especially when you take good care of your Nissan's vehicle with service routine with good oil, good spare parts and so on , in sya Allah they are more-more reliable. 🙂👍
@@davidchurchill1651 $20,000 more to get a for a foot activated trunk opener does not seem like a very deal...
I just brought the 2021 Armada SV and was lucky to get it for $1500 under MSRP. The SUV with pearl white looks beautiful and the ride and comfort of this vehicle is just fantastic. If you are looking for a big SUV, for the best price and quality (made in Japan), look no further than the Armada (and nobody is paying me to say that, LOL).
I'm waiting on the redesign but SO tempted with the current gen! Any issues with the infotainment?
@@trinisuprazee So far, I love the SUV. 16,000 miles so far along with pulling a boat, and no issues. Sometimes the infotainment goes out and re-boots, but I believe that is because there is a dead spot for satellite connection, but other than that it is a great truck. If you can get a good deal on the 2022 models, I would go for it. Good luck.

How’d you get it 1500 under MSRP at these current prices?
@@fahimjan2384 Fahim, I got the fixed internet price at a local Nissan dealership last July 2021. It was the only dealership in my area that offered the reduced price because they wanted to sell their last Armada on their lot, I guess. With the economy and gas prices now, you should be able to get a pretty good deal. Good luck.
I prefer armada over tahoe
For people watching this video, don’t trust this clown. We just bought a 2021 Armada Platinum and we love it. At 7:15 in the video he talks about the drive mode selector…..it doesn’t feel “flimsy” at all as he said. Also he talks about the second row seats in the Armada and says they’re “hard and not as comfortable.” Also not true. Been in a new Tahoe and the Armada is much more comfortable than the Tahoe. Also, in the third row of the Armada, our Platinum seats slide back for more leg room and we have a USB port on both sides which he said there aren’t any. Sure would be nice if these car review people weren’t biased and told the truth.
I have the 2022 Armada SL.. Best SUV I have ever had. Came from a 2019 Tahoe, nightmare transmission issues
I’m jealous. I have the 2022 armada platinum and my third row seats don’t slide back. I also don’t have usb for the third row. I love the armada but those two features would make it even better! I’m in North America, perhaps that’s why there is a difference ?
I still have a 2013 Armada, Engine is solid. Armada much better value for your money. Better handling and breaking too...
Nissan for me! But the Tahoe is nice
The Nissan will last longer..the Chevy will break down alot.
yep, we love our Armada, been looking to upgrade to a newer one. don't really want to deal with GM breakdowns. plus GM ripping off us Americans with those prices
Actually True
The only issues with Nissans is they rust alot especially from frame , unless you treat it from new and yearly, but engine n Trans will run 4ever
Armada all the wayyyy.
That's what they all say
For the money I'd take the Armada. Almost 20k less and a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Only thing I'd change is a sliding second row. We were looking at trading in the wifes 2016 sequoia for a 2021 Armada but the lack of a sliding second row was the reason we chose to keep the sequoia. We're going to trade it for a TRD pro since were moving to our land and need 4wd (our current 16 sequoia is a 2wd)
3/36 bumper to bumper?
@@jeeping2002 my mistake. You are correct. Dealership told me different.
The armada has a very good off-road 4x4
The Armada is the nissan patrol sold in other countries so it's a solid off road vehicle and competes with the land cruiser.
Better would be compare the entry models. Like Tahoe don’t have active safety features like Active Cruise Control in LS model, I believe on Armada that is standard on all trims
I owned Nissan, Toyota, Infiniti, and lastly, a GMC. My 2016 GMC Denali was a beautiful truck, suited my just fine for what I needed. The downside of it was the overkill of issues, anywhere from a recall, to lifter failure. I loved the tech in it. It came time to unload my Denali 9/2023, and the best deal I got out of 4 different makes, was a new 2023 Nissan Armada Platinum awd. It came in $30,000 less than anything else, they weren’t selling during this time. I had previously owned a 2015 Infiniti QX80 sensory package at today’s terms, and had zero issues with it. The Nissan platinum falls short of the QX80, top tier trim definitely doesn’t match up. To this date, the Nissan has met every expectation including the love for premium fuel, but it beats dealing with a car manufacturer that can’t do away with a lifter failure that plagued every motor with AFM or DOD. Nissan is an easy choice
Wow. The Armada is actually nicer IMO
Just test drove the Armada SL.. Once again reviewers almost always ignore the Audio quality of these vehicles..The Armada with the Bose speakers is a real treat compared to the say the 4RUNNER TRD ...just a completely different experience. have not test drove the Tahoe but at $95K. its not an option. I only test drove the Armada because I never forgot the great experience with a loaner car..The Nissan Rogue was the most comfortable ride with the best quality sound of any vehicle I had ever driven.If a company cuts corners with cheap audio..where else are they cutting corners?
Tad late but your opinion still stands true. I’ve got the QX80 (fancier looking armada but 95% the same) and the upgraded Bose system is no joke! I had an Infiniti q50 when they came out and loved the Bose as well but the new qx80 is next level! Other reviews have mentioned it’s the best factory sounding / calibrated sound system they have tested, thought I wouldn’t be too upset if the burmeister sound system in the GLS has it beat, those are incredible
Who with common sense would pay $95000 for a Tahoe. Last year it was smaller than the Armada, and this year is is two inches longer, hardly what you would consider larger. This seems like an ad for the GMC product and not a real comparison. The Armada is the real SUV of the two, and I don't like seeing myself coming an going. The Tahoe is quite common.
You'd be surprised what people pay for these things.
@@claveyscorner3220 well they just jump on the bandwagon because it's what's popular. Armada for the win and very reliable. Even the exhaust sound is nice on that 5.6 V8
Who can find one for $95K, most are over $105K
We have a 2006 Armada. 236k miles, original trans and engine...still runs, drives, and pulls like butter. This is our 3rd Nissan/Infiniti product. All had well over 200k miles. Get a GM and youll have that lifter noise by the time it reaches 150k. Nissan engines are absolutely unbeatable. Our Armada will pull an 8000lb camper without issue and seats our 4 kids with plenty of extra space for whatever.
Great comparison, However 3 other reviews mentioned the seats in the armada were the softest they ever felt, (kinda off you mention they were hard). Either way, thanks for comparing the two giants. Easier to aid decision making.
$95k for the chevy, so what's the escalade at? $200K? prices getting crazy but people pay it, otherwise they wouldnt ask so much
The new Escalade is $120k. Yeah, GM is really pushing that price gouge hard.
I prefer the Armada
Armada always best truck
I own 22 TAHOE Premier and it is a BEAST!
Thanks for video 📷 , this is beautiful 😍❤️❤️❤️
Test drove an Armada 2019 sl last month and bought it in Burnsville Minnesota. Loved it, only to find out it had too many problems not reported by the dealer nor carfax. I live in Superior Wisconsin so it was a long haul to find it it was not as advertised by the dealership. Happyfully I got my refund back for returning it three days later. And I thought to myself, what would I feel if I got one that was in good condition. I have a 2017 ford explorer xlt and it has too blind spot visibility. The Armada is the best and safest one I need. And the power to tow the camper, 8500 pounds, yes. Still looking for my retirement vehicle, wish me luck not a lot of Armada's for sale in Duluth Minnesota area.
The only thing you didn't talk about was gas mileage between the two
Nissan's V8 is an amazing engine it can last you forever. I would buy Armada without any doubt, as I have 2004 infiniti QX56 for last 10 years very pleased with it.
That Armada V8 is liiiiitttttttt.
Loooooovvveeeeeee eeeeeettttttttt
حتى هني تدافع عن البترول ؟ الاند احسن ترا
Well Agreed brother.
Nissan Armada is reliable
Price on both seemed high from this revie, sticker on our Armada was $71630, looked at Denali Yukons and HC Tahoes, stickers on those were about $11 to 13k more. I couldn't justify the extra, plus .9% with $500 and $2k loyalty helped with the decision. They might be slighty better but definitely not that much!
Agree with driver seating position, but quilted leather seats are super soft and the ride is so smooth on the Armada and lots of new safety features. I might be somewhat biased but $ for $ decision was easy.
BTW don't do a trade in, run appraisals from carvana, zoom and we buy any car, $2k more for trade in.
My family works for GM so I got the family discount. When I was 21 I brought a brand new 2007 Tahoe. I have no kids, I just like the big body style and wanted an SUV. In 2020 I got into a terrible head on acident and my Tahoe saved my life! It was 13yrs old with 219k miles and had no major problems. I was divested to lose that truck. My rental was a 2020 Nissan Armada. That truck was awesome! Coming from a 2007 with not many bells and whistles to driving the Armada for a month 👌 I couldn't bring myself to spending all that $ on a Tahoe. In 13yrs the MSRP was about 40k more. So I down graded and got the Chevy Traverse. I never thought I would go against a Tahoe but the Armada is bad ass, comes standard with more safety features, and is cheaper. I still love and miss the look of the Tahoe but when it comes down to what you get for your $.. Armada it is
Tahoe will live in the shop
If people are willing to buy these vehicles at these high price , these automakers are going to keep on raising the price.
Armada the beast
My mom has a white armada platinum with a peanut butter interior and my dad has a grey Tahoe high country with a mocha interior😊
I'm amazed at all the review talking about how luxurious the new Tahoe is. I looked at one last week, and while I agree that everything LOOKS luxurious, it doesn't feel that way when actually start touching the surfaces. it's plagued with that cheap GM plastic and flimsy switch gear. The glove compartment door feels like it'll break if you're not careful. The Armada felt more comfortable and well-built.
They took a lot of that plastic away
And replaced it with leather
You can definitely tell no mater what the Armada had he was in favor of the Tahoe. Not a true unbiased review in my opinion.
I wonder how much of GM/Chevy being the, "sales leaders in North America" have to do with fleet sales (a lot of police departments and government agencies use them) AND, traditionally, GM, Ford, and Chrysler financing was easier to get than from Japanese and European automakers?
If I had the money and was looking for a condo sized vehicle, I would MOST DEFINITELY want either a Toyota Land Cruiser, Sequoia, or Nissan Armada. If I am not mistaken, the Land Cruiser and the Armada are manufactured in Japan, and, UNLIKE GM, Ford, Chrysler, all 3 are known for getting 300,000 trouble-free miles (if you maintain them)........nuff typed.
this is it, this is what's gonna make you different, Clavey to the moon!
Thanks man!
Getting away from my Tahoe. I hate it lifters cams and transmission gone at 10000 kms. I still can hear engine knocking what a disappointment. Wanted to keep it forever when I first made my decision vs Tahoe vs Armada. My loss Chevs gain😔.
95k for a chevy tahoe is just insane
Armada to the moon! Not gonna deal with GM’s active fuel management issues where it basically destroys the engine due to bending pushrods and the lifters seizing in its bore, now in ALL cylinders so GM can give the their 5.3 and 6.2 v8s the ability to run on 2 cylinders, , not just Cyl, 3,4,5,6 (middle cylinders) like before.
GM also promoted the BS critical race theory . They lost me forever
@@tyronejoseph4598what race
@@tyronejoseph4598👌👌👌
You can supercharge Armada and invest 10,000 in :) and still be less than the Chevy.
Alhamdulillah nissan armada's seats are more comfortable and thicker than the chevy tahoe.
I have a 21 Tahoe LT AND By far it outways the Armarda on so many levels! Plus I have a panoramic roof. I bought it Brand new@65k off lot.
No way you got it brand new for 65k
$65k for Chevy? Unless it’s a corvette, can’t justify this much for a Chevy
@@dcole302 it's an LT. That's damn near base model
Is there a new 2021 cadillac escalade engine
I love the 2021 Tahoe but damn it’s expensive. So masculine and handsome. If it was 20k cheaper I’d get one in a heartbeat.
I drive a 16 suburban (about to hit 200k miles - LOTS of highway driving), and just spent 11 hours driving a 2022 armada. I would never choose this vehicle again. The climate control never stayed consistent, the power steering is really loose, the space is tall but awkward, and junky infotainment system. It certainly had great power, but I averaged 14mpg towing a small uhaul trailer. Last time I towed a trailer in my suburban I still got 19.5mpg. The safety features were cool but they didn’t seem to work together well at all (except if getting too close while parking and backing up).
Suburban is disposable junk. My 2016 Infiniti (same as this Armada) has 200k miles, never had any repairs or check engine light. Built in Japan.
Armada for the win no one can beat this car
Alhamdulillah in my experience owning nissan/infiniti, they are more reliable than the toyota/lexus. Especially when you take good care of your Nissan's vehicle with service routine with good oil, good spare parts and so on , in sya Allah they are more-more reliable. 🙂👍
Great looking vehicle. Whats totally missing is how the rear seats fold. I have 3 kids in car seats and I cant buy this vehicle. As you would have to take the car seat out every single time to get kid to rear seat as they only fold over and dont slide. Sad that the pathfinder has the tech to have car seat installed and access to the rear, yet the vehicle built for large families does not. Here is hoping that the redesign has this in mind. Went with GMC Denali XL
The Denali xl has sliding 2nd row?
Had a 2017 Tahoe 65k cost biggest shit I ever owned 11 recalls everyone my truck was over the mileage. Tranny ac and several other items had to replaced my out of pocket cost over 10k. I drove nothing but Chevy my whole life. It soured me so much I canceled my preorder 2020 vette. Traded the shit box in on 1794 edition Tundra 2019 and love it. But I must say if the Amanda was available in this style I would have choose it over the Tundra. I’ll never buy a GM product again🖕🐂💩
I hope the japanese armada's designers can watch this video: See how well the Tahoe's designs and arrangements for the 2nd row seats and higher/wider rooms at 3rd row seats + better screen techs, charging ports in 3rd rows.....etc
The tahoe is bigger with better interior. But I will purchase the Armada instead. The Armada drives much better on and off road, and Nissan offered better discounts.
@@brokeduece1691 Nice. I recently check Nissan's website, the interest rate is all at 2.99% ... quite attractive to buy. then just choose one between Armada & 2022 Pathfinder...
@@brokeduece1691 armada ie Nissan Patrol Y62 introduced in the Middle East in 2010 since that year Nissan never changed any thing in second and third row seats. I do own 2018 Nissan patrol Platinum what an amazing and reliable car coming from 2015 Gmc Yukon which problems never end from slipping transmission to bad lifters to leaking condenser. Most Yukon and tahoe owners complain from bad reliability in first 3 years i have had to drop my vehicle to the dealer 11 times 😑. Now in my Armada is my third year Zero complain.
@@zad4809 That’s a Japanese car right there
I wish Nissan would make the titan interior like the armada the interior is still outdated with there new update
The point today is reliability and the name is armada
Armada over ANY GM every time!
With Armada you get more personality and certainly more exclusivity and possibly more off road ruggedness. The Tahoe is one of the most common SUVs on country roads Armada hardly has any technology even with the major update on its info system which finally gave owners who pay 70K for it-an android/apple
Tahoe has everything but can be maxed out at near 100K. Maybe that's why it is the best seller? People just can't get enough of them it seems. Along with Suburbans and Escalades this will likely become the largest depreciation of car values in American history. However, your banker will still expect you to have paid up their loan. My choice would be a 50K Armada with all the latest features sigh.
Ngl the armada would have been better if it had a little more space. Hopefully the redesign is better
Suburban looks sooo good
Armada all day.
You look more like a boss in a Tahoe
True. But the NISMO edition Patrol is second to none. Just doesn't sell in NA I guess
The Tahoe is my favorite car of all so I hope the Tahoe wins.
Armada!! land cruise?
Nice SUVES CARS.
Great review! I drive both occasionally as I get a discount on rentals...
The Tahoe Is overpriced but both are nice..my comparison between a Tahoo LT and Armada sv
Price: ARMADA by far
Power- Tahoe
Ride comfort- Armada
Interior style: Tahoe (plastics feel cheap tho. Armada still kinda outdated)
Exhaust: Armada. She breathes
Exterior style: Tahoe by far.. I got a lot of looks in the Tahoe.
Fuel efficiency- Same
Sunroof: Tahoe
Cargo: Tahoe
Tahoe prise killing me 95000
Tahoe is better b/c it’s equipped w/hands free foot activated trunk opener
Chevrolet Tahoe And Nissan Armada competes with the Ford Expedition Toyota Sequoia Dodge Durango Jeep Grand Cherokee L
I hear that someone was skipping speech therapist classes at kindergarten ;)
First
Just rented a 2022 Nissan Armada from Airport in Fresno. After 2 days in on my way to Yosemite National Park the dang thing over heated. Returned for a Tahoe instead. No problems.
BS
At the end if looking for durability I go with the Armada. Chevy transmissions , suspension sucks
Tahoe wins for me. Not today armada
Just test drove the Armada Platinum last night and the amount of vibration on the wheel and noise in cabin is ridiculous for the sticker price. The Tahoe drove way better overall.
I currentyl have a 2018 Nissan Rouge and that drives better then Armada.
Also test drove the Pathfinder and that one also drove better and more functional then the Armada.
Ur joking right, the 2018 Rogue is a garbage vehicle compared to the new 2021 Armada. A reliable but hunger 5.6 liter v8 that’s best in class vs 3.5 rated Jd powers 2.5 liter v4. A tiny cheap infotainment system on top of a cheap and unreliable transmission (CVT). Statistically the Armada better and I have test driven one before buying the 2021 pathfinder it’s just a great at driving but a little vague in turning. Don’t compare a CVT v4 to a Reliable 7-speed Auto v8
@@deadbot61 so... not gonna mention the Tahoe huh? The one i was comparing more to the Armada. Way better overall then the Armada...
And who said i was comparing a 2021 Pathfinder CVT? I now own a 2022 Pathfinder which is a 9 Speed Auto. And still drove better then the Armada imo. Not talking about the Motor size as its still sluggish compared to the Tahoe in any trim model.
Even the dealers that i went to said the Armada was cheaply made and not as functional but wishful for the next upgrade for Armada.... 👍🏼
@@deadbot61 I thought there wasn't a 2021 Pathfinder?
95k that’s seriously a joke…. Get the Lexus LX even if you have to grab a Certified Lexus LX it is far and away better then anything GM will ever make ( I’m look’n at ya Escalade)… The Lexus LX is the Cats Meow… Good for 1/2 Million Miles.
Who in the Hell wants to tell tell friends they dumped 95k on Chevy or 75k on a Nissan .
That would would be embarrassing as hell plus if you have an HOA they should fine you for depreciating the neighborhood with those $hit Buckets
Both are built to impeccable standards. The Chevrolet built to outlast a pack of 2 minute noodles. The Nissan engineered by an elderly man.
I think the Nissan is a lot nicer. And a Breath of fresh air too the overpriced domestics.
"20k less" LOL.. end of comparison.
Anyone who has owned a GM product knows the ENGINE WILL LAST FOREVER, but the plastic interior will last 1-2 years before it cracks, Head light last 9 months etc. Ever looked in the rear view and seen a GM with one head light, LOL all the time. I just wish GM did a better job on the injection molded plastics.
I WILL GO WITH THE ARMADA, JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE WAY MORE RELIABLE.
Tahoe is WAY overpriced. Even used they are too much...
Nissan is more reliable then Chevy.
Tahoe is not 95k .
It's 75k
@1:52 terrible engine design who the helllll puts air intake box in front of the block
I think your blind the seats in Chevy are garbage, Nissan seats are comfortable hands down!
Brand new the Armada wins on price.. But over all Tahoe wins
I call bullcrap on people talking about GM switch gear and so called cheap plastic. All of them have plastic. It just looks like pompous Americans just have to bash either Ford or GM but love Japanese/Korean/German car companies dirty underwear.
Nissan will break your back the seat it’s very limited to adjust
Armada requires premium fuel. Something nobody seems to mention.
That is not true regular fuel or premium will give you 400 hp
@@letdothisman1139 per Car and Driver: “Power is supplied by a tried-and-true 400-hp 5.6-liter V-8 which, when fed premium fuel, makes 10 more horsepower and 19 more lb-ft of torque than last year’s model.”
@@jeeping2002 not required for best performance premium fuel but regular is fine
I rented a QX80 recently for a 2,000 mile trip. Didn’t tow but I only filled up with regular gas. No issues at all. Great car. Also, both the Armada and QX80 are built in Japan.
Not to be rude or disrespectful, but these RUclipsrs are largely the problem. No mention of reliability, service, ease of repair, etc… Ya know, the things that actually matter
the tahoe 5.3 is a turd only thing with armada still no paniramic roof
The Armada by far is better than Chevy. GM is garbage, had a 2019 Tahoe, and the transmission failed at 27K... All GMs are garbage
Neither is appealing. Tahoe is too expensive and Armada needs a total refresh. Dated . No panoramic roof. 3rd row small for its size. Super thirsty…
Bias host....still ARMADA
Chevy and GMC are nothing but overpriced rust buckets! The difference between the two is, the Armada will not rust out, more reliable and you dont need Astroglide when you buy it.
You could tell this guy is getting paid off by a GM because I just bought my first armada five days ago and I love it and I’ve had Tahoe suburban Cadillac Escalade and let me tell you the 400 hp I got it it’s smokes the other ones with a little a few additives you know small chip exhaust in the filter I think will be screaming and it will last a hell of a lot longer and the price you can’t beat
