Powered by an advanced 2.0L Turbocharged TSI® engine, the 2027 VW Atlas generates a robust 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of low-end torque. Engineered to provide immediate throttle response across low RPM ranges, this powertrain makes short work of high-speed interstate merging along I-26 and congested overtaking manoeuvres on I-20.

Equipped with a standard 5,000-lb towing capacity and available 4MOTION® with Active Control, the 2027 Atlas hauls pontoons, speedboats, and dual-axle campers with absolute poise. Drivers can toggle instantly between Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Custom driving modes to ensure total traction on slippery boat ramps and unpaved recreation trails.

True three-row architecture provides spacious, adult-friendly seating across all seven positions. Fold-flat second and third rows open up a sprawling 96.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. Climatronic® 3-zone automatic climate control and ventilated front seats keep every passenger relaxed through sweltering South Carolina summer afternoons.

An expansive 12-inch floating center touchscreen infotainment hub features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. The high-resolution VW Digital Cockpit Pro displays dynamic full-screen navigation maps right in the driver’s line of sight, while six high-output 45W fast-charging USB-C ports ensure every family member’s device stays charged.

Every 2027 Atlas comes standard with IQ.DRIVE® intelligent semi-automated driver assistance. Included technologies encompass Travel Assist (hands-on highway guidance), Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning & Autonomous Emergency Braking), and Lane Assist.
