Performance Features

The Honda Passport comes in four trim levels – the Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. You can choose the 2WD or AWD versions depending on the power and performance you want to achieve when you’re traveling.

On the other hand, the 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport has more variety concerning trims. You can choose from seven models sporting standard and exclusive features – the S, SE, SE with Technology, SE with Technology R-Line, SEL, SEL R-Line, SEL Premium, and SEL Premium R-Line – that come with FWD and 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive capabilities.

Both lines run on V6 engines that can pack up with an average of 280 horsepower and more than 260 lb-ft of torque.

Safety Features

When it comes to safety, both SUVs offer standard safety features to keep drivers and passengers protected during their travels. They also have innovative driver-assistive features for your extra peace of mind on the road.

While both SUVs offer standard and available safety amenities such as Traction Control, Electronic Stability Control, Daytime Running Lights, and Brake Assist, among others, the 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport has offered more standard safety features to its customers.

Unlike the Honda Passport, the Atlas has standard Integrated Turn Signal Mirrors, Blind Spot Monitoring, Auto-Leveling Headlights, and Cross-Traffic Alert. These extra benefits allow you to enjoy more safety features you can take advantage of on your way to your destination without having to upgrade and pay extra money.

Technology and Connectivity

Who doesn’t want to stay connected to the outside world while being on the road? And why would you not be able to relax, stream music, and other audio favorites while indulging in navigation tools and other tech features to make traveling more enjoyable?

Good thing the VW Atlas Cross Sport comes with state-of-the-art and innovative tech features to help you seamlessly integrate your smartphone apps on your way to your destination. Like the Honda Passport, it offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration so you can connect your smartphones and use your apps using your touchscreen display to your heart’s content.

However, only the VW Atlas comes with a standard Onboard Hands-Free Communications System and WiFi hotspot; tech features the Honda Passport does not have unless you’re willing to pay extra to have them with your purchase.

Style and Comfort

Both SUVs have spacious cabins and modern interiors to ensure you and your passengers travel in comfort to your destination. They also have roomy cargo areas to store your gear, although the Atlas has slightly more space to take in more cargo as needed.

The VW Atlas Cross Sport and the Honda Passport also indulge their drivers and passengers with innovative dashboards equipped with navigational tools and modern infotainment systems. However, the VW Atlas seems to get the upper hand with its intuitive touchscreen capability.

Regarding passenger capacity, the VW Atlas wins for being a 7-seater with third-row seating while the Passport can only take five passengers. And as for style, both SUVs look sporty, agile, and in command everywhere they go with standard and available exterior features you can mix and match to personalize your look.

The Choice is Yours

Your personal choice on which SUV is the better vehicle for you and your family matters the most.

But if you need to travel and bring as much cargo and as many passengers as you need, driving the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is the better choice. It comes with third-row seating and a spacious cabin that features a larger cargo space to store your gear.
