First impressions matter, and though the VW Atlas and Toyota Highlander are both nice to look at, there are some distinct differences in their designs.

For starters, both vehicles have LED headlights and taillights that come standard with LED daytime running lights, giving you extra coverage and illumination on the roads.
To add to elevated sight on the roads, the VW Atlas also makes available heated windshield washer nozzles, perfect for defrosting and clearing a perfect line of sight. Though the Highlander offers a similar feature, it is not heated.
All in all, the VW Atlas wins the round for exterior features and design. Its chic yet sporty exterior perfectly melds fashion and function, giving you a well-rounded drive and style for miles.

As you step inside your SUV, you want to be comfortable for the drive ahead. That’s why when we compare the interior dimensions of the VW Atlas vs. Toyota Highlander, there are some differences in space.

Not only does the 2022 VW Atlas offer more wiggle room for you and your passengers, but it also boasts a larger cargo space. With up to 96.8 cubic feet, you can fit quite a bit more than in the Highlander, which maxes out at 84.3 cubic feet.

When deciding on your next vehicle, you must have coverage for years to come. That’s why we’ve compared the basic warranties here!

As you can see, there’s little contest:
The VW Atlas has a better basic warranty. You get a full extra year of coverage, and also 14,000 more miles to cruise. If you drive long distances often, having the extra mileage covered in the basic warranty can make a huge difference.
Though both SUVs are compelling, we think you’re going to love the exterior options, interior space, and basic warranty of the 2022 VW Atlas. It’s these factors that are most important to drivers and make the overall experience of driving a VW Atlas that much more enjoyable.
