Convenience

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Cadillac XT4 or the Volkswagen Atlas, it's going to cost you about the same.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volkswagen Atlas is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT4 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT4 has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen Atlas.
