2020 Nissan Pathfinder vs 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
The American crossover market is undoubtedly the most popular in the country, which makes sense when you consider the benefits that these model types have to offer. Sculpted bodies, ample amounts of adrenaline, and versatile interiors make for quite the selling points with each vehicle in production today, and that’s a big reason why so many manufacturers are itching to introduce their new offerings to the market.
