2023 Volkswagen Atlas vs. 2023 Honda Pilot
For a comfortable SUV, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas and 2023 Honda Pilot will appear on your radar. For affordability and comfort, however, the Atlas stands out.
Performance
The 2023 VW Atlas is available with a four-cylinder engine offering 235 horsepower or a V-6 engine with 276 horsepower. Both options have an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Honda Pilot is slightly more powerful, with a 285-horsepower V-6 engine. This pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both vehicles have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. The Honda Pilot gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined with AWD, while the Atlas has an estimated 22 mpg combined with AWD.
Interior
The VW Atlas is designed to offer maximum space and comfort for up to seven adults. Though the Honda Pilot can seat up to eight passengers, it becomes quite cramped. The third row of that Atlas is among the best in its class, providing spaciousness that can accommodate a six-foot adult easily.
The Atlas comes standard with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, but the Technology package upgrades this to 8 inches. All trims above SE get a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro as well. The Pilot comes standard with a 7-inch infotainment screen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster.
Exterior
The 2023 Pilot is a boxy SUV. It has a rugged look and feel with fewer of the curves and smooth lines seen in previous years. The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas has sleek lines and a modern appearance.
