SUV Comparison: 2020 VW Atlas vs 2020 Audi Q7

If you're looking for a new family car, there are plenty of choices competing for your attention. The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas offers a lot to Baltimore SUV shoppers visiting Heritage Volkswagen Parkville. Indeed, it's a strong enough SUV that we're even confident putting it up against a luxury SUV like the 2020 Audi Q7. Here are just a few reasons why that comparison isn't as much of a stretch as you might think. 

Interior Space 

It's one thing to offer three rows of seating. It's something else again to offer a vehicle where the people in the third row are as comfortable as you are in the driver's seat, and to ensure everyone has enough room for their belongings on a long trip. The difference between these SUVs is most glaring in the third row (where the Audi Q7 offers just shy of 30 inches of legroom to 33.7 inches in the Volkswagen Atlas) and in cargo capacity, where the Volkswagen Atlas ranges from 20.6 to 96.8 cubic feet rather than 14.2 to 69.9 cubic feet in the Audi model. 

Comfort Features 

Elbow room helps, but what about the features that help you enjoy the ride? Sure, both SUVs offer features like three-zone climate control and heated leather seats. However, the Volkswagen Atlas offers amenities that the Audi Q7 doesn't, including a heated steering wheel and a 10-way power driver's seat that features three memory positions, which comes in handy when different drivers are sharing the wheel during a long trip. 

Ownership Experience 

There are other reasons to visit your Baltimore Volkswagen dealership and give the Volkswagen Atlas a try. If you're buying a family vehicle, you're probably going to be a bit more value-conscious, and new Volkswagen models deliver. Both available engines outperform the Audi Q7 on fuel economy, saving you at the pump. The lower upfront cost means a lower cost for Volkswagen financing. The reliability adds up to lower maintenance and repair costs. All of this also tends to add up to a lower cost to insure the vehicle. So for all the value you're getting in terms of features, the money saved long-term in a new Volkswagen vehicle can't be overlooked. 

Heritage Volkswagen Parkville 

None of this is to say the Audi Q7 is a bad SUV; it's luxurious and powerful in its own right. If your day-to-day concerns (and your drive) are like most people's, the Volkswagen Atlas offers plenty in its own right.
