- Is the Nissan Armada better than GMC Yukon AT4? Full Size SUV Comparison.
In this video I compared the 2021 Nissan Armada Platinum to the 2021 GMC Yukon AT4 to find out which one is the best full SUV. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
100000miles down the road, GMC will crack and rubber plastic will fall apart and armada will still running strong just as new. I had GM nightmare and will never buy a GM ever. If you only lease it for 3 years then GMC is not a bad option
I had a 08 Pathfinder and now I have a 16 Pathfinder(original owner)with 80k miles great suv’s no issues,now we are looking into the 2023 Armada this thing is a tank,for the price,look and reliability Armada is a winner for me.
I have an 08 pathfinder v8 how did your 08 compare to the 16 im looking to upgrade one day I have a Yukon and its big problems im also looking at the armada
The Armada does not have foot activated liftgate like Platinum edition Pathfinder though.
Feel the same. Wife and I had a 2012 Pathfinder and that thing was a tank. We have since owned an Audi SQ5 and Lexus GX and the wife still reminisces over the Pathfinder. We had to go out and buy an Armada. Love it. If you liked your 08 Pathfinder you will love the Armada. More similar in ride and comfort than people realize. With all the added amenities of course.
Own a 2017 Nissan Armada. Still love that thing. It’s a beast!
Good Review! We bought the 2021 Armada last year when the refresh came out and traded a 2018 Armada. I refuse to buy a GM anything as I learned my lesson 20 years ago. We have 2 kids and the Armada is a great vehicle and we have never had 1 issue with either of the two we have owned.
The Armada does not have the foot activated liftgate like the Denali Yukon.
@@davidchurchill1651 there’s still a button by your left knee. No difference to me.
I love Armada. Prehistoric yes, But strong and reliable.
I think the Armada would be the better choice .
Armada all the way. Cheaper, just as nice inside, tows more, no auto stop start or cylinder deactivation, and has a 100,000 mile warranty. The Tahoe high country is over 90 grand, I cant imagine the price of a Yukon Denali. You could move up to the infinity QX80 and still be less. But GM really did step it up with the new tahoe/uburban/yukon/escalade.
The armrest box in the second row in the Armada takes 30 sec to remove . It is a handle on it. You can get Brown, Black and Cream interior.
Thank you. I knew it came out in ny old 04 armada but couldn’t find the handle in my 18
I will be getting a Nissan Armada in the next few months!
As an owner of an Armada and a Nissan Titan, this review has made me think more of the GM brand. Great review and I’ve just subscribed!
Good job on this video Sam. The Armada is a looker but the AT4 GMC is my pick.
Reliability, quality, road presence, resale, Armada takes it for me. I wonder how much the 2024 will change it?
Probably not at all cause I swear Nissan rarely refreshes the Armada’s design (interior & exterior).
Armada hands down
Armada is made in Japan. The GM quality does not even get close. The interior of Yukon is make of cheap looking black plastic. Armada on the other hand looks premium.
The center console is removable in the Armada. The review is irrelevant since Armada Platinum should have been compared with Yukon Denali .
Cheap looking plastic vs premium looking plastic..... 🤣🤣🤣🙄
Of course the armada all day.
Armada all the way. Always liked Nissan and my family has all Nissan cars for years. Nissan life.
The Armada also has dual piston calipers in the front.
Nissan Armada over Yukon or Tahoe any day, every day!
You lost your damn mind😂😂😂 The Nissan don't even look half as good as the Yukon stop it
My daughter bought a brand new Yukon XL, loaded, back in 2019 or 2020😢. What a piece of junk, in the shop constantly. She gave up on it long before warranty was out. Never a GM product for any of us, who is familiar with that nightmare!!@@zimunda3252
Amada all the way!
The Armada does not have hands free foot trunk activation like the Yukon does.
Nissan best
Both excellent vehicles for different audiences I believe. I chose the 22 GMC YUKON XL AT4!! Absolutely love it!! It's on my channel btw and outstanding review!! This was very comprehensive!
Armada for me all the way.
I'd take the Armada like the Yukon but the Armada seem more luxurious to me.
It's not Denali
the armada is ugly, and its a nissan cheap car.
@@stevenr6897 Your opinion.
@@stevenr6897 Check back in 5-7 years and see which one is still on the road if both are properly maintained. I assure you, the GMC won't be.
loving the sound track!
Armada for me
we ALL know the Nissan is a better vehicle. Any vehicle compared to an American vehicle is going to win overall. American cars are super cheap and plastic.
armada the best👍👍😚
I'll take the Armada, even though it's an older design
When the VW golf 8 is coming, and facelift Tiguan?
Good job with this two 👍
Soon
One thing that is a flawed design and has never been improved is the Chevy's seats. They feel flat as a board compared to their competitors.
The options on tne AT4 as tested are about $15000.00 extra. That makes the comparison 75K to 90K. This doesn't make the Armada better or worse, but, you should endeavor to get your facts straight as a professional car reviewer.
All I want is a car reviewer to compare apples to apples. Platinum vs Platinum i cannot believe he chose the at4 to go against a Platinum and his excuse was price 🤢. These car reviewers kill me. They are literally comparing 2 different types of vehicles luxury vs offroad. The whole video is a lie. Thumbs down 👎 terrible review
More race videos bro!
Armada definitely looks better and more reliable.
Denali looks better
Driver wolf bro why are you trying to compare a Denali to a armada like bruh and that's not what they are even showing in the video, plus that is just your opinion
Sort of not a 1 for 1 comparison but...
Never buy big 3 garbage..never.
Been screwed by them way to many times with their garbage reliability and fit and finish.
Armada hands down. The GMC is garbage cheap junk.
Armada platinum best
Although the Aramada is older platform, however it's based on the 6th gen Nissan patrol. Which in itself a pretty sturdy vehicle, it's essentially the Nissans land cruiser equivalent. There's a reason why you see them in the middle east, Africa and Central Asia and not the Yukon LOL.
Lol, who told you that yukon are not seen on roads in the middle east.
@@tabishvanti2526 Who told you they are seen in the middle east? Maybe 2 or 3
@@jah5075look i live in dubai, and there are many yukons and tahoe’s on road. I even go to Saudi Arabia where the yukon is more common then the Land Cruiser itself.
@@jah5075no one told me ,i am just seeing reality and i see more yukon XL’s with the rental companies with over 150 thousand kilometers.
@@tabishvanti2526
Please talk about India don't talk about Saudi Arabia and I'm from Saudi Arabia
Yukons are not common as patrols due to:
1: reliability
2: cheaper price
Yukons are mostly available in rental companies
Nissan better reliability
Surprisingly the Armada looks sleeker and more beautiful next to the yukon
It's mid-level Yukon this isn't the Denali
Many thanks for your efforts and the great review. Just a note: the back passenger seat can be folded all the way if you use the same handle twice. So if you do it once you will have the sandwich shape like, but if done twice it will be folded completely.
Personally I like Yokon AT4😊
Right b/c the Yukon AT4 has the hands free foot trunk activation. Armada’s a joke and piece of crap!!!!!!!!
I’m suffering with Ford Explorer 10 years I will go with Nissan Armada more reliable than American cars!
Between the Armada and Yukon? Armada for sure! It’s better looking. Armada vs Tahoe... I’ll get the Tahoe. The Tahoe just looks so much better than the Yukon.
Yeah but the Tahoe is way more expensive. A fully decked out platinum Armada is in the 70s, a Tahoe high country is almost 20k more, the Armada tows slightly more, doesn't have cylinder deactivation or that annoying auto start/stop crap and has a 100,000 mile warranty. Plus it's based on the nissan patrol which is a legendary offroas vehicle. Armada for me, but I wish Nissan would add the offroad goodies the patrol overseas gets.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix I actually agree with you! I ended up picking up a platinum reserve Titan yesterday, over the GM
@@2009skyline nice! I have a 2016 titan xd platinum reserve with the cummins and I love it.
Armada = longevity
GMC = temporary
Armada more bells and whistles
Got my QX80/armada twin..a bit outdated..but Japanese reliability is on point...like gmc..but suspect on reliability issues
AT4 = All-Terrain four-wheel drive. It is still the original All-Terrain with a new body and interior.
The Armada/Patrol is an over all better SUV and it is not overpriced, a rust bucket like the GMC is.
My only question is how reliable is GMC? I've read that the Armada is one of the few nissans made in Japan along with the GTR and Z. It seems after looking it up that the Armada being such an old tried and true platform that it has a reputation of going over 200k even into 300k with not many major issues other than typical maintenance and wear and tear. Can the same be said for the Yukon?
It all depends on how you keep your vehicle, i have a 2023 yukon Denali, I’ve driven about 76000 kilometers with proper maintenance and the car is running very strong. Here in Dubai the Yukon’s are slowly becoming popular than the Land Cruiser as the turbos are appearing to fail and overheat the engine.
No, it will be eating the cam soon and sit at GM for weeks. Then repaired with the same shitty failure parts that it started with. GM is gimmicky junk
Nissan cars are better becuse its make you control the car very well and you can see what am talking about when you drive one 👌🏼👍🏼
It looks like the exact same car from the front exterior. Not happy that the armada second row seats are not adjustable. Engine is important for me so this is a hard decision. I really don’t like the look of the armada from the back exterior. I wish these car companies would offer a middle second row seat that can be removed or changed into arm rest and cup holders like the Honda minivan. I’ll take seating over storage but why can’t we have both?
The Armada it is for me !!!
The GMC has a V8 WITH DOD displacement on demand that's why I Picked the Armada.
Armada is reliable.
Hopefully lol
Qx80 is the most reliable luxury full size suv according to consumer reports apparently
@@reenachauriya4931 qx80 and Armada are same.
@@kanevivalakane3699 exactly why I mentioned it.
@@SamCarLegion What do you mean "HOPEFULLY"? Nissan makes MUCH more reliable cars than GMC and GM Motor in general. Plus, the Nissan Armada does not have a CVT meaning it has extremely good reliability. Also keep in mind that Nissan makes some of the best engines.
Noise isolation?
I think, at Armada’s price 77k C$, the base Yukon AT4 doesn’t have air suspension, Sunroof, Power-retractable assist steps with illuminated perimeter lighting, rear entertainment, GPS, HD Surround view, head up display. All the above are at 87,500 c$ Yukon AT4 (I “build” it in GMC Canada exact spec). So, if you have 77k…Armada. If you have 87,500k pay 5,800k more and buy the Denalli, same specs but better interior and of course 6,2lt engine etc Again, my opinion.
Yukon AT4 has air ride 100%
@@SamCarLegion ibb.co/1m6Lxvk I think that AT4 and Denalli can add air ride and lower trim (sle,slt) cannot.
@@SamCarLegion The Armada is better value and is more luxurious.
They are nice
Maybe if Nissan price matched the Yukon, it would be luxurious and sporty.
ride, comfort & long term GMC
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. iF YOU DONT HAVE MORE THAN 3 CAR SEATS ITS A LOVELY VEHICLE
Yukon AT4 is the obvious winner
Well you can't have both. Either you want the seats to fold over in the second row to allow easy third row access or you want the sliding second row. Can't do both.
you can move the screens just like in the yukon sir
Armada engine was built to put out 600hp
how so from 400 to 600? How do you change that? thanks
Yeah too bad your link isn’t in the description…
Shame GM can't shoehorn the Duramax into the AT4 or the Z71.
Ohh that would be great
The seats look more padded in the armada the at4 seats look cheap
They do look that way, but they are pretty hard and stiff. I have a 2010 qx56 with black leather seats and they are soft.
AT4 for sure
GMC Yukon And Nissan Armada competes with the Ford Expedition Jeep Grand Cherokee l and Wagoneer Dodge Durango
The armada has the best sound system😂
Lol bro you're to funny cause if you can press the seat release button in the Yukon from the back to get, you can definitely press the button from outside to get in.😂😂😂
AT4 all day long I drove the Armada and it was like driving a boat the people with me got car sick from all the wobbling.
Perhaps you are not the best driver???
Chevy Vs Infiniti
Although I love gmc youkon....but the nissan it looks so nice
Yeah ,do the split ,Lol .🤣👍
Will do lol
Armada is a better choice .. more reliable ..
Armada all the way. Yukon feels cramped and sits low. If you are driving an 7-8 seater beast, you'll wanna feel higher than the other vehicles. Plus Yukon"s console feels plasticky, second row seats are narrower and doesn't have a center console for captain chairs.. Not an objective comparison in my opinion.
NISSAN ARMADA/PATROL all the way
Nissan is always the best and price as well 🖤🖤
Desi Arnaz?
The Armada does not have hands free foot trunk activation like the Yukon does.
First world problems.
The AT4 may not be as powerful as the Armada, but it does appear to have a way more utility and functionality... After all, that's the main reason why anyone would even consider buying either of the two. That, and their offroad capabilities. So, it would appear that the AT4 has won this comparison... Even if the narrator is clearly favoring the Armada.
How you figure that he was very fair on both for the money armada definitely gets the victory
Not at all, if we wanted utility we would take my lifted FJ Cruiser with 35's and an awning. Ours is for hauling family and towing our camper. If they were both 4x4's then that may be true. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison. Large SUV's with 4x4 are pretty limited in their capability. It's more on an on road safety feature in in snow more than anything.
I doubt that AT4 could tow our camper. It's all really about how you intend to use them. Armada or an AT4 for offroad? No thank you.
N I S S A N A R M A D A
I have a 2021 GMC AT4 and my wife has a 2022 Nissan Amanda platinum. She love my truck more than hers. She loves the room in it, and the ride, She wants to trade it in, For a GMC Yukon AT4.
😂😂 not true
Its simple Choice , around the World Nissan PATROL / ARMADA ,and YUKON or CHEVY/GM only BIG in AMERICA , Not the rest of the world !!!
Armada or Land Cruiser any given day...Cannot trust the American brands in terms of reliability.
Armada seems old compared to the Yukon.
I think the new sequoia will beat all the suvs out there now 🤣🤣 feel sorry for them.
it's unfortunate we have to look to Japanese cars for quality and reliability I would rather by American but the Japanese cars offer a much better value - when I was younger I refused to buy a foreign car bu that has changed. Domestic SUVs are less reliable and made with cheap parts in the interior. Though I will say the Yukon Denali is really nice on the inside - but $90,000....come on. America's car making peaked in the late sixties when the big 3 had legitimate competition against each other and sought to build more powerful engines than each other. I would rather buy American but the value is just not there anymore
Armada all day long, or should i say Nissan Patrol.
Denali yukon all day long
100% AT4, for the win. Everything about the GMC Yukon AT4 ($75,250) is better than the Armada ($76,000), which I also think looks like a cheap attempt at reaching Yukon comfort, but falls short and looks old. The second row seats fold flat in the Yukon (all versions), giving a large, flat cargo deck, and full access from all rear doors In the Armada, the seats fold up and forward. losing cargo space, as well as access. The Yukon to me has more presence, whereas the Armada looks generic. The GM Suburban based SUV's (Tahoe, Yukon/Yukon XL, Escalade/Escalade ESV) always lead the way for their class. You also get a stronger drivetrain in these SUV's, because it's developed off of the stout Silverado/Sierra body-on-frame platform.
of course Yukon AT4 👍🏻
😂😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮🤮
Knees bent to your chest, poking the back of the seat infront of you, and you're slightly comfortable?? Yea, he's a Nissan plant trying so hard to pitch that hideous Armada😂... If I wanted a 3rd row with 28-30" legroom, and small trunk capacity, I would go with a midsized SUV. Infact a Pilot and Telluride offers better interior specs than the awkward Armada. And using an AT4 instead of a Denali for this comparison to their "Platinum" doesn't make sense. You're pointing out rims and chrome when one is specifically designed for off-roading?
I think the Armada looks better but that's as far as it goes. Unless Nissan has fixed all of the MANY bugs and issues, I'd steer far, far away from it. Just pull up Armada issues. You will be blown away!
This particular one is based off of the Patrol which is bulletproof
GM is engineered to fail. With European cars or Japanese cars a sensor will fail, a rubber gasket may break, but with American cars can't tell you how many people have total engine and transmission failure, almost always GM around 70-100k miles
Armada for me
Both excellent vehicles for different audiences I believe. I chose the 22 GMC YUKON XL AT4!! Absolutely love it!! It's on my channel btw and outstanding review!! This was very comprehensive!
