Finding a large SUV to haul the family is not always easy. It needs to be stylish, as well as spacious for passengers and cargo. It also needs to offer the latest in terms of technologies. But since this is the vehicle you trust to transport your family and friends, it must also be reliable. The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas has always outperformed its rivals with solid reliability in a spacious and stylish package, all backed by a segment-leading warranty.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas with the 2022 Ford Explorer.
The Volkswagen Atlas is more reliable and efficient than the Ford Explorer
In recent history, the Ford Explorer has been the subject of multiple complaints, recalls and has underperformed on every aspect since its remodeling. Anything from engine problems to assembly issues and even critical safety matters have been reported by Explorer owners. The Volkswagen Atlas, on the other hand, is a solid value with a reliability that has proven to be bulletproof over the years. And that’s important to keep you and your family safe on the road at all times.
Even though the Volkswagen Atlas is more reliable and more solid, VW still backs it up with a great warranty of 4 years/80 000 km. Ford, on the other hand, gives its Explorer a more limited 3 years/60 000 km warranty. You will get more peace of mind with the Atlas many years down the road!
The Volkswagen Atlas offers more space
When your travelling around with your family, space becomes a non-negotiable factor. That’s why the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas offers you more. Not only do the passengers benefit from more headroom and legroom in all rows, they also get more space for their stuff in the rear.
When it is full of passengers, the Atlas delivers 583 litres of space. Fold the seating and unleash no less than 2,741 litres of space.
The Ford Explorer is much less versatile. With only 515 litres of space when it is full of passengers and 2,486 litres when the passenger rows are folded, you will have to leave some stuff behind on your trips.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas is roomier and more reliable than the Explorer, which makes it a much better family hauler. Come see it today. You can also shop for your car online with us, our representatives await your call and can answer all your questions.
