Compare Volkswagen Atlas
Compare the new Volkswagen Atlas to the competition around the greater Huntington area
Shop around the greater East Northport and Woodbury areas and you'll find no shortage of new midsize SUVs on the market. But while you'll find almost all of them are plenty spacious, not all of them are created equal. So, if you're looking for the cream of the crop in the midsize SUV market, you owe it to yourself to check out the new VW Atlas for sale here at Volkswagen of Huntington.
As the largest SUV in the Volkswagen portfolio, the new VW Atlas is a flagship model that aims to set the standard for its segment. From its generously roomy yet refined three-row interior to its comprehensive suite of standard technologies and available safety features, the new Volkswagen Atlas ensures that growing families on Long Island will want for nothing on the open road.
Of course, while we're confident that the new Volkswagen Atlas will prove an immensely popular for drivers from Northport to Commack, it's not without its rivals. So, if you're looking to weigh your options before buying or leasing a new VW Atlas, read on to learn more from our competitive comparison against the new Honda Pilot and Kia Telluride.
The VW Atlas vs. the Honda Pilot
Both the new VW Atlas and Honda Pilot fall into the three-row midsize SUV segment, but when you look closely at their offerings, it's clear to see that the new VW Atlas is the better value proposition.
Third Row Space
Most kids will have more than enough room in the third row seating positions of both the new VW Atlas and Honda Pilot. However, if you're traveling with family and friends and need to accommodate adults in the back seat, many critics have noted that the Honda Pilot feels quite cramped in the third row. By comparison, the new VW Atlas has more than enough legroom for adults to ride comfortably, even on longer trips.
Luggage Space
If you're part of a family that travels a lot, having extra space for luggage and cargo is essential. And while you'll have plenty of room behind the third row of the VW Atlas with up to 20.6 cubic-feet of room, the new Honda Pilot can feel a bit cramped with just a little over 18 cubic-feet of space behind its third row.
Fuel Economy
To give the new Honda Pilot credit where it's due, it does boast a bit more standard horsepower than the VW Atlas. However, that means that it's a bit of a gas guzzler, achieving just 20 mpg city / 27 mpg highway. By comparison, a properly equipped VW Tiguan can achieve an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city / 30 mpg highway.
The VW Atlas vs. the Kia Telluride
There's no denying that the Kia Telluride is a formidable rival to the VW Atlas, but when you look at its shortcomings, it's not quite as strong as the stats may lead you to suggest.
Connectivity
If you frequently travel outside of normal cellular data coverage, the new Kia Telluride will prove much less useful to you than the new VW Atlas, which comes outfitted with standard Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, which costs extra on the Kia Telluride.
Standard Features
While the new Kia Telluride does come well-equipped with standard navigation, adaptive cruise control, and synthetic leather upholstery, it pales in comparison to the standard features offered by the VW Atlas. Standout amenities for the Volkswagen Atlas include a power rear liftgate, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seating, heated exterior mirrors, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and much more.
Cabin Comfort
One of the best things about the new VW Atlas is that it's second row slides and reclines, giving your passengers ample room to get comfortable on longer trips. You won't find such amenities with the new Kia Telluride.
