In this fight of mid-size, 3 row Sport Utility Vehicles, it is the new guy (Atlas) versus old reliable (Pilot). The Pilot has actually been around since 2002 and is Honda’s biggest Sport Utility Vehicle. The new Volkswagen Atlas is a brand new SUV and like it’s competitor, it’s the biggest Sport Utility Vehicle offered by its maker. The Atlas plugs the big Sport Utility Vehicle opening left when Volkswagen discontinued the Toureg back in ’17. The brand-new, updated design and excellent technology offerings should help the Atlas climb the rankings in the SUV market.
The new 2019 Volkswagen Atlas and the Pilot are really comparable when it involves engine performance. The Atlas offers a 3.6L V6 engine creating 276hp, while the Pilot offers a 3.5L V6 with 280 horse power. The difference is that the Pilot just uses the V6 while the ’19 Volkswagen Atlas has a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine that can generate as much as 235hp while getting better Miles Per Gallon than the V6. The Atlas comes standard with an 8-speed auto with Tiptronic and Sport mode. The Pilot has a 6-speed automatic as the base offering while a 9-speed auto with Shift-By-Wire is offered.
Both SUVs are showing off brand-new looks with the 2019 Honda Pilot obtaining upgraded bumpers, headlamps and taillights, while the new Volkswagen Atlas is a totally brand-new vehicle. Both SUVs feature 18-inch wheels, LED headlamps, LED Daytime Running Lights, and remote entry on the base version. The Atlas adds Rain-sensing Windshield Wipers and Heated Side Mirrors as part of the base model. Inside both Sport Utility Vehicles, you will find a LOT of room for you and your things. Nevertheless, the Atlas has better cargo room and even more guest space as well. Both cars have optional 20-inch wheels and Sunroof options with the Atlas offering a Panoramic sunroof vs a typical sunroof like the Pilot.
Technology has come to be identified with safety features and both SUVs are loaded with typical safety and security tech. Every new Volkswagen Atlas comes furnished with Blind Spot Monitor & Front Assist and can be acquired with Adaptive Cruise, Park Distance Control, Navigation and an Overhead View Camera. The Pilot has comparable features but there is one thing it can not take on, the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. This breakthrough modern technology takes the place of a standard dashboard with an adjustable, high-resolution digital display screen. Similar systems can usually be found in numerous supercars however Volkswagen is making it available in a number of automobiles. Personalization and Wide Map NAV View are the two more popular features of this outstanding tech.
While the new Pilot is a very good SUV, the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas edges it out with it’s bigger interior space, safety and security features, and the unsurpassable Digital Cockpit. The brand-new Atlas beats the Pilot.

The salesman was great. Had to take the car back for r a problem. Thought they fixed it but got 20 miles away and the problem came back. Called the sales manager Cassey. Left a message with him and a text message. He never responded back. Still waiting on a response. Glenn Willis
