Midsize SUVs are long-distance masters, and interior space is important. Luckily, the VW Atlas has all the space you and your crew could ever need.
It starts up front, where driver and passenger will enjoy 40.1 inches of headroom. This is significantly larger than the Q7, which only provides 39.9 inches of front headroom. The second row of the 2021 VW Atlas also has more headroom with 39.5 inches, compared to the 38.8 inches in the Audi Q7.
The third row of the 2021 VW Atlas is also a bit roomier, offering 38.3 inches of headroom and 33.7 inches of legroom compared to the Q7’s 35.9 inches of third-row headroom and 29.2 inches of rear legroom.
Passengers aren’t the only things you can bring along for the ride. The Volkswagen Atlas has plenty of room for all of your stuff, too. You can find a notable 96.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume in the 2021 VW Atlas. The Q7 only offers up to 69.6 cubic feet of space.
Another important aspect of a vehicle is its fuel economy. From taking the kids to soccer practice, heading to the office, and spending weekends at the beach, you require a car with enough efficiency to get you there. Good thing the Volkswagen Atlas has got you covered.
Its standard engine nets a commendable EPA-estimated 21 city/24 highway MPG.1 Now, you can sit back and enjoy the journey without frequent gas station interruptions.
Unfortunately, those driving the Audi Q7 won’t be as lucky, as their SUV only provides an EPA-estimated 19 city/23 highway MPG.
Both the VW Atlas and the Audi Q7 offer some advanced safety systems that can assist you whether you are driving along the highway or just navigation around the city. Although, there are a few features you can only get with the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.
That includes the available Dynamic Road Sign Display. This feature can help keep you informed of the speed limit, overtaking restrictions, and other signs you pass. It also has available Park Assist, which can help determine if a space is large enough for your Volkswagen Atlas and help steer your SUV into a parallel or perpendicular spot.
Now that you’re familiar with the VW Atlas and the Audi Q7, it’s time to choose your favorite!
