Honestly a lot of this review seems kind of uninformed. I drove every 3 row SUV I could get my hands on and while none is perfect, some of these complaints are just not true. You can change the camera angle, you can expand it to the whole screen, there's USB in the 3rd row, you can do almost everything with extremely intuitive voice commands... Some of these complaints are literally not valid.

Hey Ryan, thanks for the great review. Wanted to add a few missed things though. 1. 2 USBC Outlets in 3rd row for charging, you actually show one unknowingly at 11:07 in the video. 2. You can turn on heated seats and adjust them with a 2 finger tap to the temperature bar just under the screen avoiding the process of going into climate and then selecting them. 3. To turn on the cameras you simply hit the park assist button right by the hazard lights. 4. The color on the displays and ambient lighting has 30 color options that can be used independently of the driving modes so it’s always one you like. VW controls can be complicated to learn due to how much technology is offered, but they do a good job at simplifying the majority of it.

Volkswagen Atlas is the Best!!

Atlas is an excellent car, light weight body, maneuverable, stands very confidently at high speeds. 8 gear speeds provide comfort when accelerating. What other SUV can allow passengers to sit down without tilting their headsgalvanized body, long space around the engine is a big plus for absorbing the energy of a frontal impact. The safety of your family is not just empty words.

I've had a couple. Great vehicles. I get them for the 3rd row and ability to tow. 4 motion is great. The 3rd ROW HAS USB C PORTS. 👌

The Atlas is much better looking than the shark face Highlander and passport I’m not a big fan of the looks/design of Kia’s and Hyundai but a lot of people do.

Damn. That "multifunction" panel is a dealbreaker. Same with all new Subarus. There are functions that should always be physical switches/knobs.

6000 miles in and love this SUV. Best in the class IMO and I looked at them all around this price point.

Honestly I was about to cancel appt to test drive the Atlas Peak yesterday because of your review I did not want to deal with the “complicated” menu, but wow I went and the salesman showed me how easy it was to get where I wanted. There actually are hard buttons that you don’t need to play with screen as you show. I ended up buying the SE peak w/ technology pkg. I had already test driven the other suvs u mentioned and VW is much better. YOU did a real disservice to VW because of your lack of understanding and educating yourself first prior to your review. Btw I’m a 55 ur old male who is not tech savy but found this very easy.

Seems like a competent vehicle that will get nearly everyone where they need to go. VW has made some excellent improvements to the Atlas and it shows. However, the long term reliability is a concern. VW should have kept their previously fantastic warranty which was one of the longest in the industry. But, last I read it was shortened significantly.

We love our 24. Replaced a 19 w/VR6 - which felt gutless. The new engine was a big improvement. Pulls much better around town with flat turbo torque, the V6s always seemed to need to be pinned to get these 3 rows moving. The ride is better too - not sure if they retuned the suspension or the change from pirreli to Bridgestone made the difference but its better. Its just got a lot more space than its competition, none of which could put a rear facing car seat behind a 6+ foot driver. Seat can flip up with car seat installed too to access 3rd row.

Interesting, in Can there is a "Peak" version with 17" wheels. I found the R on road you felt every little irregularity, almost like tramlining. The Peak was obviously much much more comfortable, but love the rest of the R's amenities. I'm sure after a week the screen controls will become 2nd nature along with voice and hand commands. Glad to see the Atlas was able to clear the test track quite well. Its still on my shortlist having eliminated the Korean twins, just can't trust them long term after 4-5 years.

It always happens when riding to a test drive facility in a Honda Accord with water inside the headlights.. and seeing the car different from yours. ChatGPT soon will generate KZread video content out of the car manufacturers' specs better than this review.

I own 2018 Exec V6 & 2023 R-line V6. The advantage over other cross-over is space and comfort on a long trip. I also hate the infotainment system. Changing original tires from Pirelli to Continental would help deduce the bumpy feeling on the R-line. Both of them are very capable of driving into easy/intermediate level off-road (if with winter or A/T tires). Definitely and obviously VW is trying to save money rather than creating a better car!!! I just need a bigger 3rd row, which no others are better . Besides, I am a Subaru fan.

You had to drive SE or SE with tech trim, which is 41-45k. Basically, it is almost the same as the R line except for a few convenience features.

VW builder site lists "Ground Clearance, including flexible parts" as 6.3". If that includes the front tire air deflectors, my guess is that's where the low number comes from. Otherwise, briefly looking under one at the dealership, the ground clearance looks a bit better than most crossovers. And this has a bench 2nd row versus the Pilot TrailSport, plus better cargo capacity than Pilot or Ascent.

What engineer made such a sound from the exhaust line of a V2.0 Turbo engine?? Every time it spoils the mood at low speed. Reminds me of the sound of a motorcycle.

Test drove all three rows possible, including the 24 VW atlas premium r line. Very impressed with the interior but chose the 24 Palisade Calligraphy. Very quiet ride and soaks up the bumps very well.

Atlas over Ascent for sure. Which 3-row has the most aftermarket support? this (Atlas) begs for HPA's 550TT (2.5L VR6 w/2 turbos) VR6 engine swap. Sadly, past the SEL trim, the 'value' factor goes way down (I'm a SE w/tech personally). Sure, the R-line bumpers are cool looking (yes there are other differences), but unless you need parking lot points, a SEL is plenty.

Is it ready to match my Touareg in capability and luxury?

I think the OG VW ATLAS design style and interior was more functional and classier than all subsequent refreshes. You can get an original ATLAS for 1/2 this price or less. And can get a VR6. Do that!

Nearly $55k for an underpowered small (2.0) 4cyl turbo. I would imagine there will be issues with the reliability of the engine/powertrain if under load. For the size of the vehicle, I would at least expect an available V6 option.

Very simple to turn on the front camera.

You have to learn how to do things around this vehicle. For instance for changing the driving mode, simply tap mode button repeatedly, for seat heating double tap temperature zone or give a voice command. You can also fully customize infotainment system with widgets, like a cellphone. You can command pretty much anything and it knows if command is given by driver or passenger. But then again, if your vehicle needs warm up you can simply use the app or the key to do so remotely. Atlas will warm up the front seats, the steering and the air. My friend's Mercedes GLE AMG does not do that. Mercedes only warm ups the air but no seats or steering wheel. Then again, with every new vehicle, you love some changes, you hate some. It takes some time to get used to it. Some more physical buttons would be nice. At least one row you get with Audis, Mercedes or BMW. But then again after a while I don't even miss the volume knob on AUDI's center console. Go figure...

Agreed, but these things should be intuitive. I have no infotainment system at the moment (2015 base impreza) but have been thinking about them more as my car gets older.

@@christinamendrinos3163...I'll rase you a 2016 Mazda infotainment (non-bose/NAV) w/the command knob and a 2019 WRX base 6.5" Starlink. Both do just fine and the Mazda is easy enough if you aren't constantly source hopping. Nav (Waze) is on my phone in the Mazda and on the screen (Android Auto) in the Subaru w/cable). I use two features on my Subaru - AA and SXM, that's it.

He seemed saltier in this video, more so than other vids. Maybe not enough coffee, or too much?

Is there anything positive about the atlas?

hmmm ... seems a little disappointing when compared to the Pilot Trailsport ... in an SUV I DON'T WANT FANCY ... I WANT FUNCTIONAL ...

and forgot the overworked 4cyl is not what I am looking for ...

Interesting but Atlas has a USB port even at the driver's mirror 8-)

Tiguan?

They need searching capabilities in their infotainment UI - you would just type "front camera" in the Search field, and it would get you to the right screen

I was a big VW fan for a long while. When I decided to downsize, expense wise, from my 2020 Stinger GT2, I went back to a 2017 Alltrack, but I have no interest in any of VW's 2020s cars. The downsized engines and terrible infotainment plus the other things that were "quirks" of owning a VW make it just seem like a terrible purchase. The Atlas was one of the few I retained some interest in until they got rid of the V6.

You literally have the 3rd row Chargers in your 3rd row cup holders shot. It was stated more than twice that it doesn’t have 3rd row chargers when it does. 🤣
