2021 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2021 Ford Explorer

As you prepare yourself to get a new SUV, you need to consider all of your options. Now, we know there are quite a few in the area, so here at Elgin Volkswagen, we are here to help you determine whether or not the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is the right model for you by comparing it to a common opponent: the 2021 Ford Explorer. Let’s take a look.

To begin, you will have more horsepower and torque in the 2021 Ford Explorer. It has a more powerful engine, and more varied performance options. That isn’t something that the 2021 VW Atlas can get away from. However, if you are searching primarily for a family-friendly SUV, the importance of power fades away in the face of more important things, such as cargo space and safety technologies – both of which the 2021 Atlas has in spades.
