The VW Atlas seats seven adults comfortably, while the Audi Q5 seats five. With more seating appointments and available space in the VW Atlas, you can squeeze in your growing family or all your essential cargo with ease.
If you’re after comfort, both SUVs have it. You’ll find standard heated front seats as well as 3-zone Climatronic® automatic climate control in either model to help you stay comfortable once the sun sets or when inclement weather persists.
Are you moving your family into a new house? Are you an avid adventurer? You’re going to need space for your belongings. Check out how much cargo room the VW Atlas can offer:
With the rear seat folded, the Audi Q5 can fit up to 54 cubic feet of cargo into the cabin. While this is a valiant effort to keep up with the Volkswagen, you’ll still have more flexible space within the VW Atlas.
As a parent, you want a vehicle that helps you roll with the punches. You need a vehicle to get around town effortlessly. You need a vehicle that can get your kids to school on time. You need a vehicle that keeps you going for miles. You need the VW Atlas or the Audi Q5.
Under the hood of the VW Atlas and the Audi Q5, you’ll find 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engines. However, the engine on the VW Atlas is turbocharged, which helps this SUV boost forward in terms of power output:
Greater horsepower in the VW Atlas means you’ll experience quick acceleration and a dynamic drive wherever you go.
Did you know both SUVs offer all-wheel drive systems? You’ll find available 4Motion® all-wheel drive on the VW Atlas and quattro® all-wheel drive on the Q5. Both systems are paired with similar drive select systems; however, Active Control on the Atlas may provide the more adaptable ride with the help of these drive modes:
Within the On-Road Mode, you’ll also have Normal, Sport, Comfort, and Individual modes to customize your ride. These modes are like the four modes of Audi Drive Select; however, unlike the Audi, the VW Atlas allows you to set off-road customizations.
At the helm of either the VW Atlas or the Audi Q5, you’ll have your own personalized cockpit. Both SUVs feature ergonomic touch displays and easy-to-use smartphone integration to help you sink into your personal oasis. Plus, digital instrument clusters keep you connected to your vehicle as you drive.
Both the VW Atlas and the Audi Q5 feature capacitive touch displays, which means they have smartphone-like functionality. So, when you pull up your music, contacts, or navigation, you can pinch, scroll, or swipe on the displays just as you would your phone!
Speaking of your entertainment, you’ll find Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® installed in either SUV. So, no matter which device you have, you can pair it with your SUV of choice.
Behind the wheel of the VW Atlas, you’ll find the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. This fully digital instrument cluster features an 8-inch display with two viewing options and customizable widgets; so, you can focus on the information you deem necessary. The Audi Q5 features a 7-inch color driver information system.
While both systems can be upgraded to larger platforms, the VW Atlas sports the larger standard screen.
If you’re looking for a high-tech, comfortable SUV, the VW Atlas and the Audi Q5 are both excellent options. However, thanks to its roomier interior, greater standard performance, and digital dedication, we believe the VW Atlas is the overall winner.
