The VW Atlas is a bigger SUV
When you have a growing family in Lewisville, Texas, every inch counts. So, you’ll appreciate that the 2024 VW Atlas is a larger SUV than the 2024 Hyundai Palisade based upon its exterior dimensions. The Atlas is longer by four inches when measured bumper to bumper (200.7 vs. 196.1 inches); its wheelbase is three inches longer (117.3 vs. 114.2 inches) to maintain its stability with that added length. The Atlas is also taller by 1.5 inches (70.4 vs. 68.9 inches) yet has a lower ground clearance, meaning its body is truly bigger.
The Atlas suits tall or wide passengers
Those body dimensions translate to more headroom and hip-room for larger passengers in the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas. As the driver, you get more headroom in the front row (41.3 vs. 40.7 inches), plus around one-third-inch additional hip- and shoulder room.
Tall or heavy-set passengers in the second row will appreciate the one-third-inch taller headroom and one-inch more hip-room in the 2024 Atlas over the Hyundai Palisade. The Atlas also grants third-row passengers a half-inch more headroom and a generous 2.5 inches of extra legroom (33.7 vs. 31.4 inches), so older children or adults won’t feel cramped sitting in the back. In fact, the Atlas boasts best-in-class third-row legroom.
Transport more cargo in the 2024 Atlas SUV
Families who pack their SUV full of furniture purchases, home remodeling equipment, or landscaping supplies will appreciate how spacious the 2024 VW Atlas interior is for cargo transportation. When measuring the maximum cargo space behind their front rows, the 2024 Atlas has nearly 10 cubic feet more cargo space than the 2024 Hyundai Palisade (96.6 vs. 86.4 cubic feet).
When every passenger seat is occupied, you still can carry more groceries or sports gear behind the third row of the 2024 Atlas, which has 20.6 cubic feet of space — outdoing the 18 cubic feet in the Palisade.
Higher torque and fuel efficiency from the Atlas
While every 2024 Hyundai Palisade runs on a big six-cylinder engine, the 2024 VW Atlas uses an efficiently tuned four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger. This design allows it to achieve a higher torque output — including at low-end RPMs — while averaging better fuel economy: 1 mpg greater on city and highway driving according to EPA estimates on FWD models.[1] So, you can enjoy the peppy acceleration when merging onto the I-35 E Expressway without guzzling gas.
The 2024 Atlas offers more value and standard features
Get lots of bang for your buck when you buy or lease a 2024 Atlas SUV from Lewisville Volkswagen — especially compared to the bare-bones Palisade SE base model. Every 2024 VW Atlas comes with roof rails, an adaptive front lighting system with cornering adjustments, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. All of these standard features are extras that cost more to have on the 2024 Palisade.
You will notice this abundance standard features inside the 2024 VW Atlas SUV, which comes standard with more luxurious elements than the base-model Palisade SE. Its V-Tex leatherette front seats with power-operated position adjustment and ventilation function are a standard feature on even the base Atlas SE — and they’re well beyond the basic cloth seats on the entry-level Palisade.
Plus, the tri-zone climate system gives third-row occupants control over their comfort, which Palisade occupants don’t get from its standard dual-zone system. And you know how important staying cool is in Texas during the summer!
