Honda Pilot vs. Volkswagen Atlas: Interior 

An SUV’s power is necessary for getting everyone and their gear where they need to be in the King of Prussia area.

The Volkswagen Atlas again beats the Honda Pilot with 96.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, as opposed to the Honda Pilot’s 83.9 cubic feet. The VW Atlas features a hands-free Easy Open power liftgate, making it a cinch to access your ample cargo space when your hands are full.
