2022 Volkswagen Atlas vs 2022 Ford Explorer: Choose German Reliability

The Volkswagen Atlas took over the North American market like a storm. It is acclaimed by critics and auto professionals, but also by families everywhere who enjoy this distinguished SUV for its style, capabilities and technologies. The Volkswagen Atlas is also very roomy, on top of being backed by a segment-leading warranty.

Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas with the 2022 Ford Explorer.

The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas gives your family plenty of room

In order to provide a higher level of comfort in the cabin, the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas uses better materials and superior craftsmanship when compared to the Explorer. But not only do passengers get more headroom and legroom in all rows, they also get more cargo volume.

When full of passengers, the Atlas delivers 583 litres of space behind the tailgate for groceries, sports gear and everything your family needs. Fold the seating and unleash no less than 2,741 litres of space to fit furniture, boxes and materials.

With only 515 litres of space when it is full of passengers and 2,486 litres when the passenger rows are folded, the Ford Explorer doesn’t offer the same level of versatility.

The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas is way ahead of the Ford Explorer in terms of reliability

The Ford Explorer has had a rough ride since its redesign. You may have heard it in the media or through a friend, but it is worth mentioning that this generation of the Ford Explorer is known for its numerous issues. Performance problems, recalls and breakdowns have been reported by the hundreds since launch.

The Volkswagen Atlas has proven its reliability thanks to its solid, tried and true powertrains and German engineering. But Volkswagen still gave it a better warranty so you and your family can own one with complete peace of mind for the years and decades to come.

With an outstanding 4 years/80 000 km warranty, the Atlas is a much better purchase than the Explorer, which comes with a more restrictive 3 years/60 000 km warranty.
