Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Bronco offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Atlas, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Bronco will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Atlas.

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.

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 Ford Bronco will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Atlas, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Ford Bronco 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. When looking at overall length, the Ford Bronco takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Atlas.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volkswagen Atlas is clearly the choice over the Ford Bronco for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Bronco and the Volkswagen Atlas.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Bronco transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Volkswagen Atlas.

Utility
The Ford Bronco has less seating than the Volkswagen Atlas, making the Volkswagen Atlas the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Ford Bronco has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Atlas, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
