Why it stands out
The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas stands out in the competitive three-row SUV market by offering significant interior space and an excellent value proposition. It features a stylish refresh, including new front and rear bumpers, LED headlights and taillights, and a more extroverted appearance compared to its predecessor. While it has received positive reviews from owners for its spacious third row, it remains hampered by a few drawbacks such as uninspired styling and less-than-ideal ride quality. The Atlas offers two engine options, a turbocharged four-cylinder and a VR6, which provide decent power but are not leaders in fuel efficiency. Notably, it comes with a suite of standard safety features, including automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, enhancing its appeal to family-oriented buyers.

Lots of features upgrading from a 2006 vehicle. Rides and drives great with plenty of power from the v6

This vehicle is a slightly bigger and better built option to the Ford Explorer, and I found it very comparable to the Kia Telluride.

Love this SUV. I have never had a VW before and honestly I will never own another type. All the features, only thing I didn’t get was the sunroof but I will next time

I love how much space there is for the 3rd row. With 3 growing boys and 2 still needing to be in harness booster it is why I chose the atlas over highlander or 4runner with 3rd row. Even moving the 2nd row up to have space in the 3rd row is still roomy. With backpacks and diaper bag, extra floor space is a big necessity for me. I have been looking at the Atlas for a year. Im extremely happy I finally chose one. I also love i can still fit my graco stroller behind the 3rd row. Its not the full size or the smallest one. It still has the bottom carry space if that helps any other moms decide.
