Comparing the Volkswagen Atlas with the competition, it's clear that the Atlas is a serious contender in the 3-row SUV segment. Designed with families in mind, the 2nd-row seats effortlessly slide forward to give access to the third row, even with a child seat installed. The Atlas features third-row seating that is comfortable for adults and children alike, with a cavernous 33.7 inches of third-row legroom.

Available 4MOTION all-wheel drive provides precise power distribution between the front and rear wheels to provide ideal traction and optimize stability. When equipped with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and factory-installed tow hitch, the Atlas has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. No matter where you’re headed, the Volkswagen Atlas is ready for your next adventure.
