The 2012 Chevy Tahoe vs. the Nissan Armada

If you’ve been in the market for a new full-size SUV, then you’ve got to check out the 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe. Our staff here at Cox Chevy is excited to offer this powerful and elegant SUV to the Bradenton area as the Tahoe gives drivers a winning combination of great performance, excellent interior space and features, and solid fuel economy. There are a lot of competitors out there that give the Chevy a run for its money, but it nothing quite competes. Let’s take a look at how Nissan’s Armada stacks up to the mighty Tahoe.

Superior Power and Fuel Efficiency

With fuel prices climbing higher and higher each day, fuel economy is a growing concern for most drivers. Chevy’s new full-size SUV manages a very respectable EPA-estimated 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, besting the Armada’s 12 mpg city and 18 mpg. This makes sense because the Armada features a slightly larger engine with a 5.6L V8. Despite the Tahoe’s smaller 5.3L V8, the Chevy SUV’s powertrain actually generates more power than the larger V8 found in the Armada.

Both of these full-size SUVS can be had in three trims that offer a wide range of options and features, but only the Tahoe is available as a Hybrid. The Hybrid Tahoe gets an impressive 20 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, and is an option Bradenton drivers must consider in today’s economy.

In terms of value, the starting price of the Tahoe is considerably lower than the Armada. There aren’t many manufacturer-exclusive features between the two, but generally speaking, the Tahoe will cost less when comparably equipped.
