2025 GMC Yukon vs 2025 Nissan Armada

Horsepower isn't everything, but capability is. The latest GMC Yukon makes the most out of the model's powertrain lineup by curating your options to deliver an optimal experience no matter what. The new Nissan Armada may have the looks and the tech, but its one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for everyone. Get exactly what you need when you shape your ideal Yukon for 2025.

Performance

The 2025 model year grants the Yukon 3 distinct engine options to fit the situation. Starting with 355 standard horsepower and working its way up to 420 HP, you can bring the Yukon on any adventure for an effortless trip. Backing up your power output is a 10-speed automatic transmission system and independent rear suspension. Upgrading your Yukon can deliver a more dynamic drive with available air suspension and a two-speed transfer case. With the appropriate setup, the new 2025 Yukon can tow up to 8,400 pounds.

Robbing you of options, the new Nissan Armada only comes in a 3.5L twin-turbo for 425 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. This may seem ideal for some, but more like overkill for most. And although the Armada offers slightly more horsepower, it's missing driving enhancements that optimize your drive to the fullest. Aside from AWD which goes without saying, the only driving enhancement that's worth anything in the Armada is an air suspension system. The Armada has a 9-speed automatic transmission system while the Yukon runs on a 10-speed, and the Yukon generally offers more on top of it all.

Safety Features

You'll have over 15 safety and driver-assist features standard on all new Yukon models for 2025. Some newer features that you'll have on hand by going with GMC include Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and other systems that have been meticulously designed to offer proactive awareness as you operate the vehicle. As a next-gen feature, the Yukon offers advanced Super Cruise technology which utilizes hands-free driving capabilities. All new 2025 Yukon owners are given a 3-year free trial so you can experience the future, today.

The latest Nissan Armada comes with fewer standard safety and driver-assist features compared to the Yukon but still offers a decent lineup without going for a higher trim. The Armada also offers some modern driver-assist features like hands-free driving and additional camera angles. Another "edge" that Nissan promotes in the Armada is a built-in dash cam. In reality, you can install a dash cam on any vehicle with some cameras even capturing in better quality.

Interior

The Yukon remains a top choice for utility in any given situation with up to 145 cubic feet for hauling and storing large or multiple items. With both rows propped upright, up to 8 passengers can indulge in full-grain leather chairs. Opting for 2nd-row executive seating unlocks heating, ventilation, power adjustments, power bolsters, and massaging features for maximum comfort. Executive seating also contains built-in Bose speakers for immersive sound. Up front, a massive 16.8-inch infotainment screen dominates the dashboard with standard wireless smartphone connectivity and Wifi hotspot support.

On the smaller side, the new Nissan Armada can only accommodate up to 97.1 cubic feet of cargo space even with all rear seats folded down. That's a substantial difference that can potentially limit your possibilities when moving, hauling, or packing for recreational activity. Rear passengers in the Armada don't get to experience the high-end life that the Yukon can give with its luxurious executive chairs. The Armada's entertainment factor is also cut short with a smaller 12-inch infotainment screen that pales in comparison to the Yukon's 16.8-inch multimedia display.

Bottom Line

Built with an array of engine options, additional safety driver-assist features coming standard, and more ways to increase both fun and comfort throughout the cabin, the new 2025 GMC Yukon offers everything you could want in a 3-row SUV. The Nissan Armada boasts what seems to be the bare minimum in comparison.
