Rely on VW Atlas Power and Capability
If you’re wondering about VW Atlas vs Honda Pilot stats and figures, a side-by-side size comparison tells the story. The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Honda Pilot are both 5-door mid-size SUVs built to accommodate busy families with places to go.
While the 2022 Pilot has a 3.5L V6 engine with up to 280 horsepower and 262 lb0-ft of torque, the 2022 Atlas gives its drivers two engine choices—a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and an available 3.6L engine with 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.
For better driving no matter the elements, the VW Atlas is equipped with standard and available 4MOTION® with Active Control technology with four different available all-wheel-drive modes including Snow Mode, On-Road Mode, Off-Road Mode, and Off-Road Custom Mode.
Great Pricing on Trim Levels
Volkswagen’s 2022 Atlas is available in five trim levels—SE, SE with Technology, SEL, SEL R-Line, and SEL Premium R-Line—all loaded with standard features like the VW Digital Cockpit, Front Assist & Blind Spot Monitor, and Heated Front Seats. As the trim levels increase, so do the number of standard features.
The 2022 Pilot offers six trims from the Sport base trim up to the Elite trim (including a Special Edition). Though standard features in both mid-size SUVs are similar, the Pilot base trim starts at $37,580 MSRP, over $3,500 more than the $33,900 MSRP starting price of the Atlas SE base trim.
Choose Style, Comfort, and Convenience
The Volkswagen Atlas offers a more comfortable interior space with extra headroom and legroom for taller drivers and front seat passengers. All trims are equipped with a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and for maximum comfort, the SEL Premium R-Line adds Climatronic® 3-zone automatic climate control, leather seating, and a Power tilting/sliding Panoramic Sunroof.
Though horsepower in both 3.6L engines is nearly identical, when it comes to hauling, the Atlas has a clear advantage, transmitting more horsepower to the wheels with a maximum tow rating of up to 5,000 lbs (with a factory-installed towing hitch). Loading your Atlas is easier too, with the Hands-free Easy Open liftgate standard on all but the SE trims.

Stay Safer, Stay Informed in the Atlas
Volkswagen Atlas vs Honda Pilot infotainment and safety technology differ for a variety of reasons. The 2022 Atlas moves forward from its 2021 Volkswagen Atlas predecessor with keyless access and available wireless charging for compatible devices. Standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit on all trims is loaded with top navigation features and a high resolution display.
For confident, safe driving, standard VW Atlas features include Front Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Dynamic Road Sign Display, Park Distance Control w/ Maneuver Braking, Light Assist, Area View, and Park Assist, that keep you covered on all sides with the latest in safety technology.
The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic doesn’t come standard on the Pilot until the top three trims—the TrailSport, Touring, and Elite. The Honda Pilot also includes Honda Sensing® Safety & Driver-Assistive Technology features on its trims.
