More Practicality

While other mid-size SUVs offer three rows of seating and call themselves “practical,” very few deliver the space that families need. However, the third row of the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas can actually fit a full-size adult, giving it a leg up on its competitors. This increases its versatility and practicality, but it’s not the only thing that makes the Atlas unique. All that space combines with a smooth ride, competent handling, plenty of safety features, and more, making it an excellent choice for individuals and families.

More Power

“The Atlas is pleasant to wheel around, considering its size. It’s composed and stable when going around turns, and the smooth brakes and transmission shifting make it an easy SUV to drive every day.” – Mark Takahashi, Edmunds

Volkswagen offers the 2023 Atlas with two different powertrains. The standard option is a four-cylinder that delivers 235 horsepower, while the more powerful choice is a V6 that delivers 276 horsepower and offers a towing capacity of 2,267 kg. Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and offer great power and acceleration. The Atlas responds well to steering inputs, feeling nimble in the city and composed on the highway. The suspension smooths out any bumps in the road, making the ride enjoyable no matter where you decide to journey.

More Space

“Family-friendly interior space, a straightforward control layout, and an overabundance of cupholders make the Atlas a practical choice, even among other highly practical rivals. Plus, a third row of seats that can comfortably accommodate full-size adults is a definite win.” – Austin Irwin & Eric Stafford, Car and Driver

The interior of the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas offers plenty of room in all directions. The second row can fit three adults across, and 6-foot-tall adults fit comfortably in the third row. This space makes it unique among mid-size SUVs, no matter what its rivals claim to offer. The same goes for the cargo area, which grows from 583 litres behind the third row to over 2,700 litres behind the first row thanks to the flexibility of manual-folding flat seats.

More Technology

The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas is offered in four model configurations in Canada, offering a great mix of standard features. All models are well connected and ready to entertain thanks to your choice of a 6.5-inch or 8.0-inch infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB ports.

Safety and driver-assistance features are also plentiful on the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. All models come with standard forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert . Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology is also available.
