If you had to choose between the VW Atlas, the Mazda CX-90 or the Toyota Grand Highlander...What would you pick?

I've tried those 3 and i ended up buying the Atlas Execline. The Mazda i don't even want to talk about it, garbage! The GH, not bad but interior finished felt so cheap... the only thing i really love about it, it's the fact that it is hybrid and the hybrid max is a beast but for us the Atlas is way more beautiful in and out plus the comfort and the tech that i wanted for less than the GH. Unless performance is all you care, Atlas is the way to go here in my opinion anyway. My Final top 3 was Atlas, Palisade and GH.

Atlas for me, Mazda simply does not have enough space in the trunco and the 3rd row is too tight for an adult .

For me VW/Audi have the best looking SUVS

I have a 2024 SE w/ technology and totally love it!

Love the review guys... Could you please also do a similar if not the same review of the Cross Sport as well😄

Great video and great review! Good work. Just want to point out that there is a spare tire! ;) i bought the Execline with the captain chairs. My final Top 3 in the category was Atlas, GH and Palisade. I wish that the 2024 Traverse was out as it look pretty nice too. In the end, we were looking for a luxury feel with comfort, tech, and room for long family trip so the Atlas is the winner in my opinion despite the lack of physical button.

Ooops!

A couple times you did not mention: how is the drive (engine, transmission, suspension) for this type of vehicle that of course is not a BMW or Audi? Second, was the NVH acceptable? Going to test drive a cross sport in a few weeks and would enjoy your thoughts on the items I listed. Love your energy.

I'm not a big VW fan but i do like this alot

Pretty good review, few things you missed that I would have brought up. I noticed only because I currently sell for VW. The trim level should have the heads up display and heated seats for the second row. Also all of the trim levels have ventilated seats now too. Now I say this as well being that I'm in the U.S. if there is a difference with the Canadian models.....my bad...lol

No your right Canadian models all have ventilated seats and exeline has heads-up display but mot other trims not sure in Canada but ventilated seats I think on all of them

I have the cross sport and the drive is very luxurious

Great review, thank you. I’m very happy with my 24 Atlas SE W/Tech

Love the front. Can’t wait to get it at a rental car center and see if that V4 can hang with the big boys.

I was waiting for you to do this.

Thank you for the review, just put down some cash for one, and had some doubts. Since this is for travel with the fam and for the wife to enjoy, I think the engine would be good enough. We have a 2022 Santa fe that fly's but the transmission busted out (twice). Hence the change for space and reliability, sans the same power.

please do a video on the 2024 tiguan

Atlas vs Ascent ...which one? Spend a lot time in the mountains in the winter!

There is a space saver spare tire in the trunk. It's just well hidden. :)

I really love the front end looking like the Ford Explorer from a few years ago. I’d buy one if it wasn’t for the entire rest of the car, VW is running their company straight into the ground. It’s like they’re removing the heaters, adding buttons to start an actual fire, and asking why people don’t want their cars. The fact the CEO put out a statement saying “I see we’re upsetting our customers” during a time when not one CEO will admit fault shows how bad their decision making has been.

Love the front.

Lol loved this review - always know a VW guy, bypassing all the little quirks (the “chrome exhaust”) 😂 but I’m a bit biased as well, love my VW Tiguan!

Wow. Review or sales job? Apparently this is the perfect SUV.

Nice video keep up the good work Mike

How is the accelaration of VW atlas 2024? Is it better than 2020 Honda Pilot EXL?

I have a Volkswagen atlas 2021. My wife had a deer in May 2023 and the autobody shop has not been able to source a hood and bumper for this car. This has left us with a car payment and insurance but no car to drive Volkswagen. Cannot tell us when they will start manufacturing hood and bumper. I would not buy a Volkswagen atlas or any volts wagon for that matter because they are not manufacturing parts to repair their cars.

You said its same engine than golf r, is it really? Is38 turbo ? If it is so, it would be a great deal, considering an ECU tune could give you +50hp at least, over 320hp, pls confirm

Cross Sport looses headroom for front seats! My vision was obscured by the lower roofline. Dealbreaker!

I have 2024 VW Atlas comfortline It has these disadvantages so far 1- water gets inside the engine room once you wash my Atlas 2- you have to put the driving mode on Eco every time you start the car , it is annoying 3- the car is rattling a lot from the doors and seats 4- the sound of the heating fan is loud 5- it doesn’t have the windshield heater inside the frond window glass , Toyota rav4 has it 6- line assist is not very efficient, try it and you will know what I mean 7- the radar system doesn’t work in the snowy and rainy conditions 8- the fan of climate control is only controlled by the screen, if the screen damaged then you may freeze or get very hot until you get to a mechanical shop 9- the engine turns off once you shift the gear from R to D

I haven’t seen the issues that you listed, but I don’t live in snowy weather areas. On the eco setting, it saves the last selection until you change it again on my Atlas so maybe take a look at the settings.

Minimum 350hp for a vehicle this large and heavy

Check again for the spare tire. I mean, really, why would there be a jack but no spare tire?

Agreed. First gen Atlas was peak Atlas

So the climate controls are haptic and involve going into menu in menu. How is that easier to use than a panel with hard buttons?

Almost every car shows that in accessory mode.

If that new Atlas drives the same as the 1st generation, no thanks. I was provided a loaner in the past and it gave me and my passenger a feeling of dizziness. It reminded us of riding a small wooden boat as passengers across high waves of water between island hopping. I have none to say about Toyota GH nor the Mazda CX-90 since I never had interest of it.

Curious about why Mike's obsession with the placement of rear wiper blades (which I totally agree with for Canadian winters) has not been heard of for quite some time? Big bluff-ended vehicles like these are magnets for snow, road dirt and all kinds of nasty and having a top-mounted wiper gives us a better chance of a clean rear screen. And EU regulations state that the four ways have to be a button on the centre console (shame that they haven't mandated that heater controls should be illuminated physical buttons and knobs that you can operate without taking your eyes off the road.

What I really want to understand about the Atlas, is that why the owners of these are always so aggressive and drive like bats out of hell LOL. No lie.....Atlas and Taos drivers are as wreckless as Altima drivers. You'd think they had razor sharp handling and twin-turbos or something. Just an odd observation I have..

So, we Americans can't get the Atlas Peak Edition even though it's made in America? Seriously WTF, Volkswagen!

The wireless phone charger is less than useless. It will overheat your phone in less than an hour, and if you are using wireless music and navigation through the car, your phone will actually lose charge while it cooks on the "charger". There's no 12v outlets except one in the cargo area. There are USBC sockets, but they are in places where they are likely to be damaged. Poor design.

Another paid review. VAG is garbage and here is why: NO CUSTOMER service in Canada, I own a 2021 Audi A4 TFSI 45 mild hybrid (261hp) with 30K km. Problems : central diff was locking, dealer changed the fluid, sims ok now, rust appearing on the roof near the windshield, rear shocks are starting to sweat. The worst thing, that the dealers don't care anymore. Don"t mention the jetta 2010 which I bought new at the time, holes all over the car from rust. Never again I will purchase a VAG product.
