2019 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2019 Honda Pilot

The Volkswagen Atlas and the Honda Pilot are two effective means of transportation for large families. They offer plenty of space for passengers, but also all the cargo needed for work and school trips during the week, as well as weekend getaways. They also have one important point in common; they offer three rows of seats which means you can accommodate either more passengers or a lot more cargo. On the other hand, they differ on several points. Here are a few.
