The 2024 Atlas at a Glance
Atlas Review The Volkswagen Atlas has consistently been ranked one of our top 5 midsize three-row SUVs since its debut for the 2018 model year. In particular, its roomy cabin and comfortable ride make it an ideal family hauler. Now for 2024 the Atlas gets a variety of updates that should increase its appeal. There are styling tweaks - including front and rear LED light bars, illuminated VW logos and a new off-road-themed Peak Edition model - that make the Atlas even more eye-catching than before. But you'll find the most significant changes inside.

What is the Interior like in the 2024 Atlas?
To answer your question in simple terms: stunning!
A seriously roomy interior gives the Atlas an edge over rivals. Most in the class have fairly limited third-row room, but the Atlas has enough space for adults in the very back. Climbing into the rear is quite easy, too, because the second-row seats slide and tilt far forward to reveal a sizable entryway. Up front, the driver's seat offers surprisingly few adjustments, but an agreeable position is easy to find thanks to the seat's pleasant shape. The view outward is pretty good all around, and the third-row headrests do not interfere with rear visibility.
Additional Interior Options

- 10-Way Power Driver Seat
- Power Passenger Seat
- Power Driver Seat Lumbar Support
- Heated Steering Wheel
- Remote Keyless Entry

2024 Atlas Infotainment, Connectivity,
& Convenience Features.
The Atlas comes with plenty of USB-C ports so you can charge a litany of devices. And there's also wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with a standard wireless charging pad. The 12-inch center touchscreen is big and has easy-to-find menus. The Atlas' advanced driver aids work well overall and are easy to switch on and off. Adaptive cruise maintains tight gaps and doesn't overreact to changing traffic conditions, for instance, and the lane keeping system keeps the Atlas in the middle of your lane without bouncing between the lane markers.

How does the 2024 Atlas Handle on the Road?
The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas is only available with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This output is more powerful than last year's four-cylinder and similar to the previously available V6 engine. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels, and VW's 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is available on all models.
Volkswagen claims the new four-cylinder will slightly improve the Atlas' acceleration time over the previous V6 engine, so we expect it will reach 60 mph in approximately 8 seconds. That's about average for the midsize SUV class.
