2024 Volkswagen Atlas Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

About the Volkswagen Atlas

As the largest Volkswagen vehicle ever assembled in the United States, the Atlas redefines the meaning of a 7-passenger SUV. With up to 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space, the Atlas is among the best in its class. Families looking for a safe and reliable SUV will be pleased with the number of available safety features the Atlas has to offer. In fact, the Atlas competes and outperforms most full-size SUVs and minivans. From Pedestrian Monitoring and Front Assist to Blind Spot Monitor, available driver assistance systems will be on your side no matter where life takes you. The Atlas is also filled with technology features that will help you get to where you're going. For an active family that needs plenty of space, modern technology, and reliable safety -- the Volkswagen Atlas offers the perfect solution.

What's New for 2024

2024 is an exciting year for the proven Volkswagen Atlas thanks to an extensive refresh both inside and out. Beginning with its exterior appearance, the Atlas benefits from an all-new front fascia, new LED headlights, and new alloy wheel designs across the entire trim range. Under the hood, shoppers now have just one engine option on the Atlas. A new 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder cranks out 269 horsepower while maintaining the same 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity as the now-discontinued 3.6-liter V6 from last year.

Shoppers will also be delighted to learn that the interior of the Atlas now benefits from an assortment of new premium features and redesigned materials. For example, every Atlas now includes standard ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. A larger 12-inch touchscreen display is also now available for a more engaging infotainment experience. Finally, a new Atlas Peak Edition appearance package makes its debut for 2024 with exclusive exterior color choices and rugged design cues.

Volkswagen Atlas Features

Performance & Styling

Infused with the latest Volkswagen design DNA, the Atlas features a dynamic exterior appearance that sets it apart from your typical three-row SUV. Every Atlas features full LED front lighting, including low beams, high beams, turn signal indicators, Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), and side marker lights for superior visibility. R-Line models include R-Line badging, unique front and rear bumpers, a diffusor in glossy black paint at the rear; and stylish side skirts. Power comes in the form of a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that cranks out a robust 269 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. The available 4MOTION with Active Control all-wheel-drive system is engineered to activate before wheelspin occurs, helping to mitigate traction losses. Built on the proven Volkswagen MQB chassis architecture, the Atlas delivers a responsive yet refined ride.

Sophisticated Interior

Clean yet functional and infused with a premium feel, the luxurious interior of the Volkswagen Atlas is optimized for ergonomics and usability. Its two-passenger third-row bench seat offers a 50/50 split along with both second-and third-row seats that feature fold-flat functionality to create up to a massive 96.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Hear your favorite songs the way the artists intended them to be heard with the most advanced optional Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System found in a Volkswagen to date. The innovative Discover Pro touchscreen infotainment system includes a capacitive-touch sensor (as in smartphone and tablet technology) which enables gesture controls like swiping and even pinch-zooming. Perfect for young drivers, the available Car-Net Security & Service also includes Family Guardian which gives you features like speed alert, boundary alert, and curfew alert.

Groundbreaking Safety

A combination of both passive and active safety systems on the Volkswagen Atlas help give you a sense of peace of mind and confidence behind the wheel. A total of six standard airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) are found on every Atlas. Other examples of driver-assistance technology include Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitor Rear Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), High Beam Control (Light Assist), and Overhead View Camera (Area View). Maneuver Braking, a part of the Park Distance Control system, is designed to mitigate or help prevent collisions with static obstacles to the front and rear.
