The Volkswagen Atlas is a standout three-row SUV option for drivers looking for lots of space and size around Grand Rapids. We know that the vehicle has competition in the form of other manufacturers' SUVs. At Betten Volkswagen, we're confident that you will see how the VW Atlas manages to stack up and best similar vehicles, like the Kia Telluride. We've put together a comparison of both so you see how the Atlas is the smart choice for you.

Volkswagen Atlas vs. the Kia Telluride Interior comparison

Inside, the Volkswagen Atlas seats up to seven, with the option for captain's chairs in the second row, it has 154 cubic feet of passenger space, and it's able to best the Kia Telluride in overall cargo space with a maximum of 96.6 in comparison to the Telluride's 87 cubic feet. That added room can make a difference when loading up supplies and luggage for long trips outside of Grand Rapids, heading to the lakes and beyond.

Volkswagen Atlas vs. the Kia Telluride Performance Comparison

The Atlas uses a turbocharged four-cylinder with 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. With front-wheel drive options, this nets it 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway. By comparison, the Kia Telluride uses a larger V6 engine that offers more power, but less torque, and the VW Atlas holds the slight edge in highway MPG on front-wheel drive options. You'll still get plenty of power with a smaller engine from the VW Atlas, and feel good about driving it in any situation.

Both vehicles have many similar safety and technology features as you'll find touch display options and digital instrument cluster. Where the Volkswagen Atlas is able to provide more is through safety like Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which will make sure your vehicle stops and doesn't continue rolling if you've been in a collision. It also has features like Travel Assist, which is a semi-autonomous driving feature that uses features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist to ensure safe driving distances from other vehicles. It comes in handy in many driving situations and bolsters your confidence.
