Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Toyota Sequoia than 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 Toyota Sequoia.

Convenience
The Toyota Sequoia requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Volkswagen Atlas, making it more convenient to drive.

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). The Toyota Sequoia will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Atlas, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Toyota Sequoia is a little wider than the Volkswagen Atlas, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Toyota Sequoia, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Atlas.

Handling
The Toyota Sequoia has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Atlas, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Toyota Sequoia is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen Atlas for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Toyota Sequoia greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Atlas.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Toyota Sequoia does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Atlas.

Utility
The Toyota Sequoia offers greater seating capacity than the Volkswagen Atlas, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Toyota Sequoia has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Atlas, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
