2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

With a wide variety of options, finding the SUV that best fits you and your needs can be difficult. When you're in the market for a new SUV, you have to wade through so many different offerings that it can be tricky to remember which features that you wanted your vehicle to have in the first place. If you're looking for an SUV with an array of technology options, take a look at the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Volkswagen Car-Net® App-Connect is standard on all trim levels and turns your Atlas into an entertainment center.

Of course, with so many different SUV options, it simply wouldn't make sense to ignore some of the different vehicles offered by other manufacturers. By comparing vehicles like the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, you'll be able to see what advancements have been made, and where the other vehicle may or may not fit your needs.

Advantages of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

When you're comparing vehicles, it is crucial to consider how the vehicle will work for you. If you're looking for a powerful vehicle, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and 2017 Nissan Pathfinder are pretty evenly matched. There is one engine option on the 2017 Pathfinder, a 3.5L V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. By comparison, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas has a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. If that isn't enough power for you, there is also a 3.6L V6 engine available on certain trims. This engine is more powerful than the standard, with 276 horsepower, and 266 pound-feet of torque.

Another important aspect to consider is how much space you'll need to carry around passengers and cargo. With the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, you'll be getting an all-around spacious vehicle. Both the 2017 Pathfinder and the 2018 Atlas are able to fit seven people, including the driver, but the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas has more overall passenger volume, with 154 cubic feet to the Nissan Pathfinder's 120 cubic feet. When you break it down, the 2017 Pathfinder has a little more room in the first and second row, but the third row is significantly more cramped than it is in the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. You should also think about the cargo you'll enviably need to cart around. With all seven seats full in the Atlas, you'll still have 20.6 cubic feet of interior cargo volume, and when you fold down the second and third rows, that grows to 96.8 cubic feet, a cavernous interior compared to the 79.8 cubic feet in the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder.
