What Makes the 2020 Kia Telluride the Better Buy Over the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas?

All in all, the 2020 Kia Telluride and 2019 Volkswagen Atlas are very similar in size and capabilities. The Kia Telluride does offer a little less cargo space than the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas, but we do not see that as a deal-breaker. Many families find the cargo space dimensions perfect for their lifestyle with plenty of room for coolers, fishing tackle, and other gear needed for their next outdoor adventure. 

Speaking of the outdoors, the 2020 Kia Telluride sports an old-school SUV styling that makes it look adventure-ready. But being adventure-ready is more than just good looks. Thanks to several architectural and mechanical features, the 2020 Kia Telluride is perfectly capable of taking on the raw wilderness. 

And while Volkswagen is praised for its quality, you can expect to pay an arm and a leg for its specially-made German-born parts if anything needs to be replaced. Kia strives for the best quality so you can enjoy long-lasting dependability no matter if it is on the daily commute or cross-country road trip. Parts are easy to replace and are more budget-friendly, and each Kia comes with a comprehensive warranty program.
