Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport than in the Honda HR-V, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda HR-V as you will with the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Honda HR-V is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda HR-V is much slimmer than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Honda HR-V, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Handling
The Honda HR-V has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda HR-V has a lot less horsepower than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Powertrain
The Honda HR-V has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. The Honda HR-V has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.
