2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2017 Volkswagen Touareg
Now that we’re deep into 2018, many of you may have forgotten about the Touareg. Advertised as Volkswagen’s luxury SUV, it provided drivers with premium features at an affordable price. While it has been discontinued, there is a bigger and perhaps better model to take note of. See what we mean in this comparison between the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2017 Volkswagen Touareg.
The larger Atlas has already captivated drivers with it combination of utility and technology. The raw power under the hood will give you a little extra boost, and while the base model has a smaller engine than the Touareg, you can upgrade to the same 3.6L V6 engine if you so choose.

How do the Atlas and Touareg differ?
While we were sad to see the Touareg go, we’ve noticed a lot of buzz going on about the Atlas, especially because of all the extra cargo space it has. While standard cargo space is greater in the Touareg, the 2018 Atlas has much more maximum cargo space due to its larger size. It fits more passengers too!
