2021 Volkswagen Atlas

vs 2021 Kia Telluride

Styled with the modern driver in mind, the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas got a renovation this year. Utility, meet aesthetic. A staple of German engineering, the Atlas fulfills the demands of everyday life with swift and responsive practicality. Think features like third-row seating for your passengers, spacious legroom and convenient technology that keeps you connected, no matter where you take your Atlas. The 2021 model also boasts strong, sophisticated design with an available panoramic sunroof, modern seating upholstery and clean exterior lines that sweep the entire SUV with a polished flair. Now what SUV can boast that?

Kia sure is trying this year with the 2021 Telluride. Can this rookie take on this style icon? Let’s see below as these two SUV models are compared side-by-side.

Yikes — maybe they should have kept the Telluride in production a little longer. The Atlas steams past the Telluride in everything performance, interior amenities, tech and safety — essentially, everything you want in a vehicle. The standard turbocharged engine will offer exceptional performance while saving on gas, and available all-wheel drive is a must-have in any serious SUV nowadays. Heated windshield washer nozzles (available in the Altas, lacking in the Telluride) may seem like a luxury feature, but can come through in freezing temperatures. Standard rain-sensing windshield wipers can actually detect changing weather while standard dual-zone climate control offers the driver and front passenger the choice to change their climate settings without disturbing the other.
