Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Passport than in the Volkswagen Atlas. The Volkswagen Atlas will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Volkswagen Atlas, 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). Whether you pick the Honda Passport or the Volkswagen Atlas, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Honda Passport is about the same width as the Volkswagen Atlas. If you go with the Honda Passport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen Atlas.

Handling
The Honda Passport has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Atlas, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Honda Passport will do just as well as the Volkswagen Atlas, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Honda Passport has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen Atlas.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Honda Passport doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Atlas.

Utility
The Honda Passport has less seating than the Volkswagen Atlas, making the Volkswagen Atlas the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Honda Passport as you will in the Volkswagen Atlas.
