The 2021 Telluride and 2021 Atlas are two popular large family SUVs, providing families with an abundance of comfort and space. The 2021 Telluride’s features an all-wheel drive system with a center locking differential that can lock the power split 50:50, giving them a head start on the 2021 Atlas when it comes to capability. We wanted to see what would happen when we put these pillars of the SUV class in a side-by-side comparison to see which would reign supreme, and can offer our Utah customers more of what they’re looking for.

Both the 2021 Kia Telluride and the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas are impressive in their own unique ways, but the Telluride comes out on top when it comes the features our Salt Lake customers are wanting in their next SUV. While both SUVs are spacious and tech-savvy, Telluride starts to assert its dominance when it comes to overall capability. Able to seat more passengers and offering state-of-the-art innovations, we see the 2021 Kia Telluride as the clear winner when compared with the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas.
