Plus, they’re each equipped with a generously sized cargo space so you can bring along all the essentials as well as the additional items you pick up along the way.
Have your hands full and could use an assist? Simply wave your foot underneath the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Atlas to activate its available hands-free Easy Open rear liftgate. You’ll be able to put your items away without placing a single item on the ground.

This easily outsizes the Pilot, which offers 18.6 cubic feet in its trunk and a maximum of 87 cubic feet.
The VW Atlas also squeezes out 41.3 inches of front headroom for its driver and front-seat passenger. Spread out and get comfortable, too, with 41.7 inches of front legroom in the VW Atlas.

When you’ve got a family vacation planned, you need a vehicle that keeps you connected and entertained. After all, you want to avoid your kids getting restless on the long hauls. Fortunately, both the VW Atlas and the Honda Pilot are built with impressive infotainment suites to help take “Are we there yet?” out of question for good.
If you want to take the family road trip to a new level, the VW Atlas has your back. Its standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit upgrades your driving experience with its high-resolution display. On this digital instrument cluster, you can view all your valuable information, such as:
- Navigation directions
- Safety system alerts
- Driving data
No matter where you’re going, you’ll experience crystal-clear views ahead.
If you upgrade to the available Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro, you’ll have 21 viewing options and a larger 10.25-inch fully configurable display. Use App-Connect® to effortlessly sync up your compatible smartphone to the infotainment system of your Volkswagen Atlas.
As for the Honda Pilot, it offers similar infotainment features, such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and HondaLink®. However, it doesn’t offer a comparable system to the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit.

- Honda Pilot: 262 lb-ft of torque
