Both the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2021 Kia Telluride are midsize SUVs with three rows of seats offering plenty of interior space. As a matter of fact, the Atlas and the Telluride are among the most spacious mid-size SUVs in their respective segments, offering more versatility than their competitors. That said, the Atlas and the Telluride differ in their value proposition, and in a battle of two very large SUVs, the Atlas has the upper hand over the Telluride.
More Interior Space in the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas
The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is more spacious than the Telluride with a total cargo area of 2,741 litres compared to 2,455 litres for the Kia. That’s over 300 litres more space in the Volkswagen, meaning that you can fit more luggage, more golf bags, more hockey bags, more Costco bags and more of everything you need for everyday life. In other words, the Atlas will be in a better position to meet the needs of your growing family and offers the very best when it comes to interior space in the segment.
Both the Atlas and the Telluride are offered with a V6 engine which delivers 276 horsepower in the Atlas and can tow 5,000 pounds. That said, the Atlas is also offered with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. More importantly, this engine is more fuel-efficient by far than the Telluride’s V6 engine, and it certainly offers impressive performance thanks to its ample low-end torque.
The other major difference between the 2021 Kia Telluride and 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is pricing. With a starting price of $40,095, the Atlas is over $8,000 less than the 2021 Kia Telluride which is very, very impressive. It also is more affordable in its top trim and it features much better financing and lease rates (0.99% on 36 months versus 4.49%) than the Telluride.
