The Volkswagen Atlas has three rows of seating with room for up to seven passengers. A second-row bench seat comes standard, but captain’s chairs are available, reducing seating capacity to six. Both configurations offer flexible seating options, and the rear seats can be folded down when you need more cargo space.

The Atlas is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 282 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, providing responsive power whether you’re driving around town or cruising on the highway. Front-wheel drive is standard, with available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive for added traction.

The 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels as needed to help maintain traction. It responds to changing road conditions, including wet or slippery surfaces, so there’s no need for you to manually engage all-wheel drive.

When properly equipped, the Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds with a braked trailer. The Atlas SE trim is rated for up to 2,000 pounds with an aftermarket hitch, while the SE with Technology and higher trims include a factory-installed hitch, bringing towing capacity up to 5,000 pounds.

With all three rows in use, the Atlas has 21.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Fold down the third row for 55.9 cubic feet, and folding both rear rows gives you up to 95.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

The Atlas’ standard tech suite includes a 12.9-inch touchscreen (SE with Technology and higher trims upgrade to a 15-inch touchscreen), a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and wireless charging for two compatible phones. You’ll also have seven USB-C ports to keep everyone’s device fully charged.

Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE system is standard across the Atlas lineup and includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Automatic Emergency Braking. Additional safety technology includes Rear Traffic Alert, Park Distance Control, and Exit Warning, which alerts passengers to approaching vehicles or cyclists when opening a door.

Front-wheel-drive Atlas models get an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, while models equipped with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive are rated at 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Combined fuel economy is estimated at 25 mpg for front-wheel-drive models and 23 mpg for all-wheel-drive models.

The Atlas lineup includes heated and ventilated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, and a heated steering wheel as standard. Higher trims add features such as heated and ventilated second-row seats, leather seating surfaces, and a front-seat massage function on the SEL Premium R-Line.

Every new Atlas SUV includes a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever comes first. Volkswagen also provides Carefree Maintenance for the first two scheduled services at 10,000 and 20,000 miles, plus 3 years or 36,000 miles of roadside assistance.
