2023 Atlas
In the market for a midsize SUV? If so, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas is for you. This stylish, capable, and fun-to-drive vehicle is an excellent pick for the daily commuter, the family on the go, and the weekend road tripper alike. Check out what the 2023 Atlas has to offer.
The Atlas is a three-row SUV with seating for up to seven. However, you can switch out the second-row bench seat for captain’s chairs, which reduces passenger capacity to six. In addition to plenty of interior space for passengers, the Atlas also offers 20.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row of seats. If you fold these seats down, cargo capacity increases to 55.5 cubic feet. You can fold down the second row as well for a total cargo capacity of 96.8 cubic feet of space.
If you’re thinking about using the Volkswagen Atlas as a family SUV, you need this vehicle to be safe. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the vehicle a five-star overall safety rating. To add, the car comes standard with forward collision warning with forward automatic emergency braking. These technologies work together to reduce the risk of a head-on crash. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is also standard and makes switching lanes as safe as possible. Finally, a rearview camera on the dashboard makes operating the vehicle in reverse a breeze.
Volkswagen Atlas Trims
2023 Volkswagen Atlas SE – This is the base trim for the VW Atlas, but still a superb option for SUV enthusiasts. They equipped this version with plenty of LED exterior lights, optimal for driving on foggy/rainy days around New York. It also sits atop some powerful 18-inch alloy wheels. On the inside, drivers have lots of convenient gadgets such as the 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat along with the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. You’ll also enjoy its standard proximity keyless entry fob and push-button starting.
2023 Volkswagen Atlas SE with Technology – The “technology” version is perhaps the most popular trim, since only a few thousand dollars more gets the driver access to several premium features. This includes a larger 10.2-inch Digital Cockpit Pro touchscreen, more USB ports, voice-control satellite radio, a 115-volt power outlet, and tri-zone automatic climate control. It also comes with exterior improvements like 20-inch alloy wheels, hands-free power liftgate, and an optional upgrade for AWD.
