Volkswagen Atlas: The Three-Row Family SUV
The Atlas is Volkswagen's largest SUV, a spacious three-row crossover built for American families.
Launched in 2017 and built in the US, the Atlas was Volkswagen's answer to the demand for large family SUVs in North America. It offers genuine three-row space with a roomy interior, easy third-row access, and generous cargo room.
The Atlas is offered with turbocharged four-cylinder and, earlier, V6 power, with available all-wheel drive. A sportier, five-seat Atlas Cross Sport coupe-SUV variant broadened the lineup.
Designed specifically with American buyers in mind, the Atlas became an important volume model for Volkswagen, competing against the likes of the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
