2019 Volkswagen Atlas Doesn’t Do Anything Small
September 19 2019, Volkswagen des Sources
Volkswagen vehicles aren’t like their competitors. They may have the same features and technologies, but their drivability gives them an edge for anyone in search of a spacious SUV that doesn’t compromise enjoyment. If you are forced to trade in your sports car because of a growing family, the Atlas may be your best option.
2019 Volkswagen Atlas Does Three-Row Practicality Well
The Volkswagen Atlas was born as the CrossBlue concept back in 2013 and the production version made its debut at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Essentially, the new Atlas fits between the entry-level Tiguan and more upscale Touareg, although it is by far the most spacious SUV in the Volkswagen family.
It can seat up to seven passengers with three rows of seats and has the option of lowering the rear seats and/or the middle row for added cargo capacity. Regardless of how you position the rear seats, you will get a ton of interior space inside the Atlas.
There are four versions offered in total, starting with the Trendline model at $35,690. The latter features a wide range of standard equipment including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, multi-collision automatic braking, and a rearview camera.
Other features found in the Atlas include heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels (18-inch wheels are standard), power tailgate, Volkswagen’s digital cockpit, remote start, three-zone climate controls, keyless access with push-button start, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and more.
Two Engines Power the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
There are two engines available in the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. The first is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine that develops 235 horsepower and is available as standard in the two entry-level versions, Trendline and Comfortline.
The second option is a 3.6-litre V6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower. While this engine is for those who want more power, the four-cylinder will also appeal to buyers who want balance. The 2.0-litre engine is not only powerful, but it also has an average fuel economy rating of just 10.6 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway. 4MOTION all-wheel drive is available with most versions.
