Advantages of the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas

Looking at our comparison table, you can see why people compare these two SUV models. However, it’s also obvious which one is the winner of this battle. Let’s break this down a bit. Starting with their MSRP, the 2021 Kia Sorento takes the win by being about $1,000 lower in price. In the seating capacity category, the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas and Kia Sorento tie. No matter which you choose, you’ll be guaranteed a maximum space for seven passengers.

Although the Sorento took the win for the MSRP and then tied with the Atlas for seating capacity, the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas steals the crown for the two final categories. The Volkswagen Atlas engine outpowers the Kia Sorento engine by 44 horsepower and it has a larger cargo space by 21.3 cubic feet.

Now that you have seen that the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is the champion of this battle, we highly recommend that you schedule a test drive at your nearest convenience. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team!
