We’ve taken it on a couple of long trips (1000+ miles), so we’ve seen enough to write a decent review.
We’ve owned our Atlas for a little over a month now. After a ton of research and multiple test drives of the possible options, we settled on the VW Atlas, SEL Premium. (Warning- a little long) We were looking for a roomy 3 row SUV with easy access to all 3 rows. Poor & not thoughtful design given this gizmo world.Ħ) Love the up to date electronics and safety systems screen is finger smudge magnet.ħ) No initial quality/reliability problems so far, 1300 miles.Ĩ) 20-22 MPG with combination city highway driving. Power was fine with six adults loaded in car.ĥ) Driver/front passenger storage and USB/power/aux design is a significant design error:ī) awkwardly angled and buried at bottom of deep storage compartment,Ĭ) non-robust connection subject to disconnect on wiggle/bump,ĭ) limits storage space if anything is plugged-in.

Six full size adults no problem if third row folks are able to move well into those seats.Ĥ) Acceleration a minor bit slow as observed by others but Im not a lead foot guy. I just manually disable feature but wish it could be a memorized setting.ģ) Generous in size and I am a LARGE guy. Strong want for firmware update that allows this. Minor issue.Ģ) Yep, I want to permanently disable start/stop feature. Not sure if this is mechanicals, tires or both. Road irregularities tend to cause hunting in direction of irregularity.
Having read other reviews which I encourage, my key observations are (SEL 4MOTION):ġ) Overall Good Handling. Interior maximum cargo volume: 2,741 L (97 cu.ft.).Interior cargo volume: 583 L (21 cu.ft.).
