“We are delighted to bestow two important Sobre Ruedas Awards to two Nissan products this year. This is a testimony of the great quality of both the Pathfinder and the Frontier, but also of the preference they have conquered in the market, particularly among Hispanic consumers,” said Jaime Florez, director, Sobre Ruedas.
