If you’ve got a lot of people to transport, whether that be family or the neighborhood soccer team, you need a big vehicle; a three-row SUV can fill that need and then some. For both humans and cargo, ample room will be found inside the doors of these lumbering behemoths.
The Volkswagen Atlas has been making waves across the automotive industry since its debut for the 2018 model year. The 2019 model carries forward what we loved, with juicy new optimizations such as the standardization of a whole slew of driver-assistance features. With its spacious three rows, cavernous cargo room, intuitive tech and responsive handling, the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas checks all the boxes of what a three-row SUV should be.
Kia has recently debuted its own big three-row SUV, the 2020 Kia Telluride. As always when a fresh challenger enters the field, this vehicle seems eager to make a name for itself. But can it stand up to the might of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas?
