Bigger just got better

The 2023 Atlas is ready for adventures with family and more. It mixes comfort and performance to create a better ride for you and your passengers. With best-in-class third-row legroom,* it’s easy for all your eager adventurers to stay comfortable in their 7 spacious seats. Whether it’s your turn to pick up from practice, or your first camping trip with the family, the Atlas and its 2,741L of flexible cargo space has more than enough room to fit all the essentials.

For adventures that call for even more storage space, there’s no need to leave anything behind. The Atlas has an available 3.6L engine that allows you to tow up to 5,000 lbs of anything from trailers, to boats, to campers. On or off the beaten path, standard 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive can make short work of almost any road, and a full suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features** including Lane Assist and Side Assist will help keep you on course. Once you arrive, the Area View 360° camera provides a bird’s eye view of your Atlas, making any spot the perfect spot. Any way you look at it, the Atlas is more than ready for anything that comes its way

The “has it all” SUVW

If you’re looking for even more peace of mind, look no further than the available Car-Net® app. With over twenty convenient smartphone-enabled features such as remote lock/unlock, or remote start, staying connected to your Atlas has never been easier.*** Speaking of staying connected, the available VW Digital Cockpit Pro is the perfect partner for any road trip. Whether you’re displaying navigation, travel times or fuel economy, all your needed information is always easily accessible.
The display isn’t the only thing customizable in the Atlas. The R-Line Black Package is the perfect upgrade for those wanting a sportier look. With features such as 20″ Trenton black alloy wheels and Brushed stainless steel pedals, the R-Line is as bold as those who drive it. Whether you’re sporty, family-oriented, or anything in between, the Atlas is ready for everything life throws your way. Sometimes, bigger really is better.
