If you're looking for a family-size SUV with a touch of refinement and handsome looks, then you'll love the new Atlas.

Design

Volkswagen has rolled out an appearance update for the new 2021 Atlas. The major difference is in the SUV's front fascia. Both the front grill and headlamps have been reshaped for a sportier look that matches that of the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Aside from its appearance, the 2021 Atlas largely holds over from 2020. You'll find the same configuration inside the cabin. Three rows of seats are standard, allowing for up to seven passengers to ride in comfort. It's easy to fold the rear seats down flat as well. Doing so opens up 98.6 cubic feet of cargo space.

Features

The new 2021 Atlas is loaded with helpful features. These amenities can keep you and your passengers both comfortable and connected throughout your journey.

  • Climatronic 3-Zone Climate Control makes it easy to set temperatures for front and rear passengers alike.
  • Panoramic Sunroof offers plenty of natural light to rear passengers.
  • A standard touchscreen navigation and infotainment system makes it easy to use media features.
  • An available wireless smartphone charger keeps your device ready to use without the need for cables.
  • Available Volkswagen Digital Cockpit offers a configurable display in place of a traditional gauge cluster.

Performance

Drivers are sure to be impressed by the performance of the new Volkswagen Atlas. Its standard 2.0-liter engine makes a healthy 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Choose the optional 3.6-liter V6 engine and you'll get 276 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are connected to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped, these SUVs can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

The new 2021 Atlas offers features to handle inclement weather near Summerville and Mount Pleasant, SC as well. Its available 4Motion all-wheel drive system can send power to the rear wheels for added grip. Drivers can toggle between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with the turn of a dial. Plus, there are multiple drive modes to choose from.

Safety

Volkswagen understands the importance of safety in its vehicles, and models like the new 2021 Atlas are proof. This SUV offers a variety of driver-assist functions.

  • Adaptive Cruise Control can maintain a set distance from the next vehicle by automatically adjusting vehicle speed.
