TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2022 Honda Pilot is one of the oldest three-row crossover designs out there, but it has aged well overall.

The 2022 VW Atlas competes as a thoroughly competent family wagon, but doesn’t stand out in any particular way.

Scads of space

TCC Dislikes

Higher base price this year
