Fuel Economy Goes a Long Way

Both the VW Atlas and the Audi Q7 offer drivers different engine choices. VW Atlas drivers will have access to a standard 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine or upgrade to a 3.6L V6 engine. The Q7 offers a 2.0L TFSI® 4-cylinder, a 3.0L TFSI® V6, or a 4.0L Twin Turbo V8. Both engine choices offer the power you’ll need to get to where you’re going.

However, even with more engine options on the Q7, not all of these options are created equally—you’ll find better fuel economy on the VW Atlas. The VW Atlas offers an EPA-estimated 21 city and 24 highway MPG, while the Audi Q7 offers up to an EPA-estimated 19 city and 23 highway MPG.¹ With the VW Atlas, you can stay on the road a little longer and spend less time at the gas station.

The Space for You and Yours

	VW Atlas	Audi Q7
Maximum Cargo Space	98.6 cu. ft.	69.6 cu. ft.
Front Headroom	41.3 in.	39.9 in.
Front Legroom	41.7 in.	41.7 in.

Part of the allure of driving a full-size SUV is having more than enough room—you need room for your friends, your family, and all of your stuff.

With the VW Atlas, you won’t have any problem stowing all your things with the 98.6 cubic feet of cargo space when the second and third rows are folded. In the Audi Q7, there’s 69.6 cubic feet of space with the seats folded, paling in comparison. Stow more and go with the Volkswagen Atlas.

Having enough room for your friends means giving them the space they need to get comfortable. In the front seat of the VW Atlas, both driver and passenger have 41.3 inches of headroom and 41.7 inches of legroom. Meanwhile, in the Q7, you’ll have 39.9 inches of front headroom and 41.7 inches of front legroom.

The trend of having more space continues in the VW Atlas, too, as both the second and third rows offer overall more space than the Audi model.

Count on Safety and Technology Features

Safety and Technology

These days, safety and technology go hand in hand. Both the VW Atlas and Audi Q7 offer Blind Spot Monitoring to keep you safe on the roads. However, there’s more safety technology with the VW Atlas, with impressive driver-assistive technologies, like:

Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking
Rear Traffic Alert
Pedestrian Monitoring
Dynamic Road Sign Display
Adaptive Cruise Control

These sophisticated technologies can help you avoid collisions and follow the rules of the road. While the Q7 offers several safety systems, the technology doesn’t equal that of the standard collision protection offered by the Volkswagen Atlas.
