Buyers looking for space without resorting to a minivan tend to look to the mid-size three-row SUV segment. These are the vehicles that give buyers the kind of versatility they need, while being fun to drive and enjoyable on the road. Among the sportiest and most dynamic midsize sport utility vehicles we have the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas and the new Kia Telluride.
Kia and Volkswagen have long been considered the most sports-oriented automakers in the mainstream segment. In other words, buyers who are looking for a dynamic, sporty and fun vehicle tend to look to Volkswagen with its German-designed vehicles and Kia, which has always emphasized value and performance. Most experts will tell you that if you want a performance-oriented three-row utility vehicle, the Atlas and Telluride are a great place to start. Moreover, these two models also stand out in terms of versatility and technology. But what is the best option for you? Let's take a closer look at the comparison between the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas and the Kia Telluride.
A significant price difference between Telluride and Atlas
The first thing we notice about the Kia Telluride and the Volkswagen is the price difference. Starting at just over $ 40,000, the Atlas costs roughly $ 6,000 less than the new Telluride.
Even if we climb the Atlas model range in better equipped versions, the price difference is still considerable. A 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Comfortline, perhaps the best comparison to the base Telluride, is offered for just $ 44,495. It's still less than the Telluride. The Atlas comes with standard 18-inch wheels, autonomous braking, blind spot monitoring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Comfortline version includes a remote starter, electric tailgate, and parking sensors.
Go for the Highline version and you'll get a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats and a navigation system for under $ 50,000. The second edition of the Telluride lineup starts at over $ 51,000, while the top-of-the-line model costs $ 54,495.
The Atlas also has an interior space advantage, with over 2,700 liters of maximum cargo space. The Telluride offers no more than 2,455 liters of cargo space. The net result? The Atlas is the best option if you want space and value in your next midsize SUV.
