Regardless that Volkswagen is well-known for its people-movers like vans and small crossovers, the corporate by no means had a Three-row SUV in its lineup. That’s modified with the Atlas, VW’s reply to autos just like the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot. The Atlas has to hit the bottom operating, as it’s a latecomer, coming into a particularly fashionable section filled with well-established fashions. And after listening to for years that VW needed to construct an SUV on this section (no exaggeration since VW’s first idea Three-row SUV was from 2013), we lastly had the chance to drive one and see if it has the products.

The Atlas checks the suitable bins for folks looking for a Three-row SUV: it’s going to carry as much as seven folks, could be simply reconfigured to tote gear, and is obtainable with all-wheel drive. It pulls as much as 5,000 kilos with the V6 when you get the towing bundle from the manufacturing unit (VW installs a extra sturdy fan, and makes different modifications), or 2,000 kilos if the hitch is put in on the seller. However an SUV has to supply greater than that to face out towards the competitors.


The cabin is the hub of any midsize SUV, and VW’s Atlas makes use of the identical easy, elegant styling that you’d anticipate when you’re accustomed to Volkswagen’s present mannequin lineup. There are enticing thrives, equivalent to metal- and wood-like accents, and nice soft-touch supplies up prime, however with more durable plastics under. At prime middle of the sprint is the usual MIB II infotainment system, run by means of a 6.5-inch contact display, with Apple CarPlay. Upgrading will get you an Eight.Zero-inch contact display and navigation.
