Despite being a relative newcomer to the Volkswagen brand, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, in only its first year, is already one of Volkswagen’s best-selling models.

So, what makes the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas such an appealing SUV within a market increasingly saturated with powerful and cargo-focused models? That’s what we’re here to find out.

To test the capabilities of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, we’ve decided to pit it against the recently unveiled 2019 Subaru Ascent redesign. A top competitor of Volkswagen due to their crossovers acting as worthy challenges to the versatile Golf family models, Subaru models are good for VW comparisons. Therefore, let’s see how the full-size SUVs of each brand stack up. It’s the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas vs the 2019 Subaru Ascent!
