Powertrain
All Atlas models are propelled by one of the most advanced Volkswagen engines ever built, the new “Evo4” 2.0-liter four-cylinder TSI® EA888 engine. Producing 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque with regular fuel-an increase of 34 horsepower and 15 lb-ft over the previous generation four-cylinder engine-it offers similar horsepower and more torque over a broader rev range (1600-4500 rpm) than previous six-cylinder models.
Combining direct fuel injection and turbocharging to balance efficiency and power, modifications to the 1,984 cc Evo4 engine include new fuel injectors along with an increase in injection pressure from 200 bar (2,900 psi) to 350 bar (5,076 psi). Improvements to reduce internal engine friction include a new balancer shaft design that already utilized roller bearings, a narrower oil pump drive chain, a simplified valvegear drive-chain tensioner, and a new throttle valve that reduces air leakage.
On all Atlas models, an eight-speed automatic transmission designed to maximize efficiency sends power to either the front wheels or to all four wheels when equipped with 4Motion with Active Control all-wheel drive. Urban efficiency is aided by start/stop technology, which turns off the engine during idle when the brake pedal is held (such as when waiting at a red light). When the brake pedal is released, the engine restarts.
The majority of Atlas models now offer a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs with a braked trailer. SE with Technology models and above include a trailer hitch as standard. SE models offer a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs with an aftermarket hitch and a braked trailer-hitch preparation is included.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for 2024 models equipped with front-wheel drive is 20/27/23 mpg (city/hwy/combined). For models equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, the EPA-estimated fuel economy is 19/26/22 for SE and SE with Technology models, 19/25/21 for SEL and SEL Premium R-Line models, and 18/24/20 for Atlas Peak Edition models.
4Motion All-wheel-drive System
The latest-generation 4Motion with Active Control all-wheel-drive system is designed to activate before wheelspin occurs, helping eliminate traction losses. The system achieves this by using an advanced control function based on specific driving conditions. When operating under a relatively low load or when coasting, the front wheels are driven and the rear wheels are decoupled, a feature designed to help to save fuel. However, the rear wheels can be engaged in fractions of a second whenever necessary via the center differential, which is activated by an electro-hydraulic oil pump.
A control unit continually calculates the ideal drive torque for the rear wheels and controls how much the multi-plate clutch should be closed by activating the oil pump. The oil pressure increases the contact pressure at the clutch plates in proportion to the torque desired at the rear axle. So, the amount of pressure applied to the clutch plates can be used to continuously vary the amount of torque going between the front and rear wheels, up to a maximum of 50 percent at the rear axle.
In addition to the center differential that acts longitudinally, electronic differential locks that are a function of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system act laterally. The system can briefly brake a wheel that is slipping, enabling uninterrupted and stable transfer of drive power to the wheel on the opposite side.

That little Bart Simpson hand looks hilarious
@Mike you did a great job with this video! You should make more of these. What I like about your video is you aren't reading the specs, instead going into details of each feature! Keep it up!
It looks way better than the previous model
The LED lighting is phenomenal
Now my dream SUV for me to drive one day. Awesome job with your videos anyway Mike.

Can't believe they did away with the wave blue color. Love it on my 2021 atlas

They have a very minimal color selection, unlike other brands in the same segment.
My dream Volkswagen Atlas SUV! Nice job.
Have a question…in the previous model, if you use remote start it disabled cruise control. Is that still the case in this generation?
I wish everything wasn’t touch buttons because I really like everything else I see 😂 The standard equipment and MSRP on these are very competitive and the fit and finish and materials appear good. But the touch buttons are a deal breaker for me and I assume a lot of others.
are the side exterior mirrors electrically foldable? if not, why? cars from 2018 have this option!
Love 😍 the new headlights with the day time running strip across the hood also the rear LED taillights still i think the AWD would be a better SUV
just bought mine this weekend - upgraded from a 2018 tiguan so some of the differences are staggering, but overall i LOVE it, and this video was super helpful. my one complaint is the fact that the sliders below the display screen for the volume don't have any backlighting when it's dark out. really can't understand why they didn't do that. having no buttons for anything will take some getting used to but definitely isn't a deal breaker for me (sort of like when you upgraded from an iphone with a home button to one without one). one thing i can't figure out though is how to disable the eco tips on this one. saw your video on how to do so on another VW but the interface on this is totally different, and i can't find a way to do it. they get to be real annoying real fast as i've been driving with the sunroof open and eco tips hates that i guess haha

I've had mine for a month now and I agree about the volume buttons on the center stack. You just have to use the steering wheel buttons.

Volkswagen USA has a very helpful video on how to go through your settings and also shows off some of its neat tricks. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZpydmZORlLCzaJM.html&pp=ygUjMjAyNCB2dyBhdGxhcyB0b3VjaCBzY3JlZW4gc2V0dGluZ3M%3D

On the settings you can turn off all those tips, I did. I also turned off haptic feedback.

Check the owners manual. It will tell you how.
Seems like a winner. Great review.
Hi Mike! Thanks for the super informative video! One question. Is there a 12V socket up front anywhere? I've been trying to hunt down the answer with no avail. I've seen the USB-C on the right side of the mirror housing, but not sure that would work for a radar detector. Thanks!

No, it looks like you will have to direct wire the detector to the fuse box. It is a cleaner looking install when done right.

User manual says that there is one outlet below the center console to the back. Hoperfully someone that has the car can confirm this.
How many speakers does it have? And does it come with a cargo sliding cover?
@MikesCarInfo

6 speaker sound system 30:26 Cargo cover is optional on this trim.
does any Atlas trim have interior ambient lighting ?

Hi Mike, will you be getting the new Crosstrek soon?

Hopefully, but I'm not sure when.
My wife has a 2021 Volkswagen atlas. She hit a deer in May 2023 and it has been sitting at the autobody shop every sense, because they have not been able to source a hood or bumper in seven months, and Volkswagen cannot tell us when they will begin to manufacture a hood and bumper for this car. This leaves us with a car payment and insurance but no car to drive I would not buy a Volkswagen atlas or any other Volkswagen because they are not manufacturing parts to repair their cars.
how does the AFS - adaptive front light system work ?

The headlights move in conjunction with the steering wheel. It allows you to see to the corner you are turning towards instead of pointing straight ahead. It’s an amazing feature that is very functional.

@@-MOYST- I actually bought this car too, and I love it a lot 😍
Thanks for showing how to see the fuel gauge. I seen the distance to empty, but wanted something bigger to view. Like the looks and ride of this car, but too much technology and not enough simple knobs or buttons. VW, please dumb down the '25. Too much of a good thing can be bad.
I just got one of these to pair it with my 2021 first edition ID4. The ID4 handles much better than the Atlas
Is this the entry level trim?
@-MOYST-

No. S is entry level.
Why they light up the logo? 😢
I've had the 2018 and now the 2021. I don't think I will upgrade to this 2024. I'm not a fan of all the digital displays that are now integrated. Also concerned about the power of the new engine. Everything else is fantastic.
No ambient lighting (actually disabled) at this price is an absolute joke. Similar to how the base trim has the actual led DRLs at the front and back but are just disabled... make it make sense. Why do manufacturers insist on doing this? Kudos to VW for adding standard features like heated/ventilated seats, but at the same token they deserve flack for scamming consumers.

Why the plastic hand?
You could fit another engine with that space under the hood
Nexen tires lol
I’m sorry, but those touch capacitive buttons in the interior are atrocious!!
No VR6 Engine and No Fog Lights mean No Sale for me! The Fake Exhaust Tips are pure stupidity! The Front Passenger Seat must have power adjustments on all trim levels. Who specs out the interior features on these vehicles a divorced engineer or bean counter? That is why they are divorced with on power passenger seat. The Major Decision Makers when it comes to the purchase of a new vehicle is most times the female spouse. This Decision Maker will always want a power passenger seat and lighted vanity mirrors.
Horrible outside design. It used to be one of the most beautiful SUVs and somehow they made it so ugly that it looks like a Ford. @VW what are you doing????
