HUMMER H3 SUV vs. Nissan Armada Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the HUMMER H3 SUV to the dealership as the Nissan. The HUMMER H3 SUV won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Nissan Armada. In terms of fuel economy, the Nissan is slightly better than the HUMMER H3 SUV, but not by much. With respect to MSRP, the HUMMER H3 SUV doesn't cost much less than the Nissan Armada.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Nissan over the HUMMER. The Armada is a better choice than the HUMMER with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of equipment or massive pets. Towing is substantially more the Armada's forte than it is the H3 SUV's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly have to take the HUMMER H3 SUV for a fill-up more often than the Armada because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Nissan Armada offers a bit more head room than the HUMMER, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Nissan Armada make it roomier for your passengers than the HUMMER.

Dimensions
The Armada is considerably more bulky than the H3 SUV. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Armada than the HUMMER H3 SUV because of its bigger tank. The HUMMER H3 SUV and the Nissan Armada compete for the same parking spaces. The Nissan Armada's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the HUMMER H3 SUV may give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Nissan Armada and the HUMMER H3 SUV are true speedsters.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the HUMMER is quite certainly sprier than the Nissan Armada, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the flip side, bear in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Armada has a more sizeable engine than the HUMMER H3 SUV. Remember that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. The H3 SUV could learn a lesson or two from the Armada regarding torque.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Nissan Armada isn't quite as generous as the HUMMER H3 SUV's.
