Audi Q7 vs. Nissan Armada Review

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Audi and the Armada most definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Audi Q7's engine is tremendously smaller than the Nissan Armada's. Remember that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the flip side, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. Torque equals pickup, and the Nissan Armada will have picked up and gone by the time the Audi Q7 finally gets moving. The Q7 could learn a lesson or two from the Nissan Armada with respect to torque.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Armada over the Audi Q7.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Nissan Armada than with the Audi Q7, as both offer similar mileage ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Nissan's front cabin compared to the Q7. The ampler interior dimensions of the Nissan Armada make it substantially roomier for your passengers than the Audi Q7.

Dimensions
The Audi Q7's tank is approximately the same size as the Nissan Armada's, though the Nissan Armada's is somewhat bigger. The Audi and the Nissan Armada compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Nissan to the dealership as the Audi Q7. The Audi Q7 will save you money at the pump compared to the Armada. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Audi is a tad more economical than the Nissan Armada. As far as MSRP, the Audi costs about as much as the Nissan (though the Nissan is a little cheaper).

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Nissan isn't quite as generous as the Audi Q7's.
