The Volkswagen Atlas is a family-sized SUV that seats up to seven adults with ease, providing genuinely spacious comfort across each of its three rows. While the model's striking size is its most prominent feature, the Atlas is also equipped with a generous amount of power, plenty of advanced technology, and a comprehensive suite of active safety systems, making it an ideal choice for larger families that require the highest-quality drive.
Powertrain and Performance
The 2023 Atlas lineup has two engine configurations, both offering an attractive balance between power and efficiency. The standard option is a 2.0-litre gas turbo model making a healthy 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, passed to all-wheel drive through a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. If you're looking for even more power in your drive, higher trim levels offer a 3.6-litre V6 mill that raises the output to 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.
At the entry-level trim, the 2.0-litre engine provides ample power to move the Atlas with confident ease and precise control. It also offers a useful towing capacity of up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs), as well as efficient consumption of just 10.6 L/100 km combined. Although the V6 significantly boosts performance and increases the towing capacity to 2,267 kg (5,000 lbs), it still delivers great fuel economy with a combined rating of just 11.9 L/100 km, showing just how efficient an SUV of this size and power can be.
High-End Interior and Technology
Every trim level in the 2023 VW Atlas lineup delivers an upscale interior experience, with available options including heated, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, tri-zone electronic climate control, and premium leather upholstery. As well, impressive interior technology is a main feature, with all trims featuring a touchscreen display that measures either 6.5 inches or 8.0 inches, along with either an 8.0-inch or 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Standard connectivity features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with both a wireless charging pad and satellite navigation available as options. Higher trim levels also include the VW Car-Net system, which provides a wide range of remote services including engine start/stop, lost vehicle locator, anti-theft alerts, and more.
IQ.Drive Safety for Driving Peace of Mind
Every Atlas is equipped with a comprehensive suite of active safety and driver-assist features for peace of mind on every journey. Available highlights include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, adaptive cruise control, and a dynamic road sign display system.
