Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Atlas than in the Ford Bronco, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford Bronco offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Atlas, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
With the Volkswagen Atlas, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Ford Bronco, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
