If you’re looking for an adventure-ready three-row SUV, the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder or the 2025 Nissan Armada could be your match. To help you choose, here’s a side-by-side comparison from your Mayfield Heights Nissan dealership.
Performance
The 2025 Pathfinder and the 2025 Armada both feature a 3.5L V6 engine, yet each model offers distinct capabilities tailored to different driving needs. Perfect for on-road adventures, the Pathfinder outputs 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque for a standard towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and a maximum of 6,000 lbs. This power output results in exceptional fuel economy, with EPA estimates of 23 MPG combined.
The Armada is made for the roads less traveled, and its twin-turbocharged engine generates 425 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This kind of muscle translates to a greater towing capacity of up to 8,500 lbs. The higher torque also provides quicker acceleration and improved performance on dangerous terrains. Both models boast off-road-ready trim levels, the Pathfinder Rock Creek, and the Armada PRO-4X.
Exterior
While both the Pathfinder and the Armada boast three rows of seats, different exterior features make it easy to choose the right model based on your needs. With an exterior length of197.7 inches, the Pathfinder is an excellent choice for daily driving across the city. Its more compact dimensions make it easier to navigate narrow streets and busy parking lots compared to the Armada.
The Armada’s 209.7 inches make it a better choice for highways and off-road adventures. This model also boasts 9.6 inches of ground clearance, which is much more than the Pathfinder’s 7.1 inches, meaning you can drive it more confidently over road bumps, rocks, and other obstacles.
Interior and Cargo
Inside, both the Pathfinder and the Armada boast a standard 2/3/3 configuration with a seating capacity of eight riders. Captain chairs are available on both models, providing first-class second-row comfort. The Pathfinder has a more compact interior, although both SUVs are spacious and incredibly comfortable.
The Pathfinder offers 16.6 cubic feet of interior cargo volume, whereas the Armada offers 20.4 cubic feet. Both SUVs have fold-flat rear seats, allowing you to expand the cargo capacity behind the front seats. The NissanConnect infotainment system is standard with an 8-inch touchscreen on the Pathfinder and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on the Armada.
