Ahead of the safety, comfort, and flash of your SUV, efficiency and performance are of the highest priorities. Luckily, both the 2023 VW Atlas and Q7 are dressed to impress.
Since both are equipped with a Tiptronic® 8-speed automatic transmission, you can expect a smooth ride in either model. The fuel efficiency and 4MOTION® with Active Control system, however, are what truly set the VW Atlas apart from the competition.
The road, or lack thereof, can throw a lot of unexpected twists at a driver. With the 4MOTION® system of the VW Atlas, you’ll conquer challenges with ease. Choose between four unique all-wheel drive (AWD) modes (Snow Mode, On-Road Mode, Off-Road Mode, Off-Road Custom Mode) to ensure your ride can handle the unforeseen weather and detours.
Powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, the Volkswagen Atlas sees an EPA-estimated 21 city/25 highway MPG, whereas the 45 TFSI® 2.0L 4-cylinder engine of the Q7 receives an EPA-estimated 19 city/25 highway MPG.1
There’s no doubt that you’ll be impressed when you step inside either a 2023 VW Atlas or Audi Q7. Both SUVs share a number of features that create similarly luxurious interior cabins. Some of those shared features include:
In the VW Atlas, you’ll see a number of additional advanced technological features like App-Connect for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, remote access through the available Volkswagen Car-Net® mobile app, and optional vocal commands via Amazon Alexa connection capabilities.
Another component that factors into the comfort and overall cabin features of these models is cargo capacity. The Q7 undoubtedly provides a legitimate cargo area with up to 69.9 cubic feet of cargo space. In the VW Atlas, you’ll find that extra bit of room for weekend bags, hiking equipment, or furry friends with its unparalleled 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space.
Although the 2023 Q7 certainly puts forward an impressive lineup of safety applications, it’s hard to match the brilliant list of safety features included in the 2023 VW Atlas.
The two do share some more common safety aspects, such as traction and stability control systems, as well as post-collision safety systems. However, the VW Atlas shines with several unique features included with optional IQ.DRIVE® to keep you and your passengers safe and sound on the road, including:
While the Q7 comes with many standard safety features, it doesn’t offer nearly as many upgraded and mild autonomous features as the VW Atlas does.
The 2023 Audi Q7 is undoubtedly another terrific iteration of a prized model that offers a spacious, luxurious cabin with all the technological bells and whistles. In the 2023 VW Atlas, however, the fuel efficiency, interior excellence, and abundance of dazzling safety features are hard to overlook.
