You’re a cool parent. You love taking your kids on fun family vacations to remote cabins, lake houses, beach cabanas, and campgrounds. Driving the Tahoe or the Armada adds an extra fun layer to your adventures. Are you ready to kick things up a notch?
If your adventure bug often leads you to uneven terrain or unpaved roads, you’re going to want the Chevy or the Nissan by your side. Both models offer 4-wheel drive, which creates a stable ride on even the roughest terrain.
The Tahoe pairs this drivetrain with two available suspension features:
- Magnetic Ride Control – This feature reads the road and monitors each wheel every millisecond to improve traction, maintain a smooth ride, and allow more precise steering.
- First-In-Class 4-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension – This feature optimizes the ride height by adjusting the suspension to road conditions. The height can be raised to provide more ground clearance or lowered to enhance aerodynamics and improve efficiency.
The Nissan Armada does come standard with an auto-leveling suspension; however, it lacks the ability to be raised or lowered on command, which puts you in complete control of your ride and comfort.
Beyond ride comfort, you can expect a lot of power from these colossal SUVs. The Chevy is available with three engines, including:
- 5.3L V8 engine: 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
- Available 6.2L V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
- Available 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine: 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft
On the other hand, the Armada only offers a single 5.6L V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan offers a lot of off-the-bat power; however, the Chevy offers something special: the power of choice. It gives you three configurations to choose from, allowing drivers of all proclivities to find their perfect match.
If you park the Tahoe next to the Armada, you’ll notice a few similarities. They each have a commanding grille, big tires, and an extended body that will fit your family like a glove. However, would they look identical in size inside and out?
We took out the tape measure to size up your next SUV. For starters, we found that both models seat up to eight passengers between three rows. Which one is bigger externally, though?

After a closer look, we’ve found that the Tahoe offers larger exterior dimensions, which means you and your loved ones will enjoy more wiggle room at any seating appointment. Goodbye to stepping on toes and bumping elbows!
This difference in vehicle size also means you’ll have more room for cargo, kids’ stuff, groceries, you name it. Whether you’re packing up for a week of camping or carpooling your daughter’s soccer team to their next game, you’ll feel confident everything will fit inside the spacious Tahoe.

Your family’s safety is paramount, which is why you need an SUV that comes with the latest in safety technology. We’re confident that you’ll love what the Tahoe and the Armada have to offer.
Chevy Safety Assist and Nissan Safety Shield® 360 are the respective standard safety suites of the Tahoe and the Armada. They even share a few features in common, such as:
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian Braking
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
- IntelliBeam
When you drive either large SUV, you can leave parking far away from storefronts in the past. These models come with standard Front and Rear Park Assist features to help you feel confident parking near other vehicles in a congested lot.
True peace of mind is knowing that your child is safe and sound. Chevy makes it easy to let your kids fly the nest thanks to Teen Driver. This standard feature lets you activate customizable vehicle settings associated with your teenager’s Tahoe key fob to encourage better driving behavior. An in-vehicle report card will be available to further coach your new driver.
Unfortunately, the Nissan Armada goes without a similar feature that will instill confidence in parents and young drivers.
The 2023 Tahoe and the 2023 Armada make driving a family-sized car cool again. Which one checks off all your boxes, though? With its range of power, larger size, and unique teaching technology, we believe the Chevy is the right fit for your family.
