Atlas was a powerful god, and this auto more than lives up to the reputation of its namesake. Find out why the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas will help you reign supreme on the road.

Basics About the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas

Volkswagen went big and ambitious when it introduced the Atlas model in 2017. This impressive SUV is the iconic brand’s largest vehicle to date. The 2022 entry keeps its big brother status strong, measuring at about 201 inches long, 73 inches wide, and 70 inches high. And with a starting price a bit under $34,000, it provides buyers with one of the best values in its mid-size SUV class.

Space to Spare

If you’re looking for a family hauler with plenty of room, this crossover SUV is a very nice mini-van alternative. You’ll get three rows of seats that can easily handle your entire crew. Your cargo space is no slouch either, accommodating massive amounts of luggage or everyday cargo.

Your storage doesn’t end in the obvious places. Bountiful spaces throughout the vehicle can provide a temporary home for your smaller items. Even the cups are covered with a number of cup-holders. Better yet for those family outings, you can now tow up to 5,000 pounds with the new tow hitch.

Tech Trends

All of your digital and technology needs are at your fingertips, if you wish. The eight-inch digital gauge cluster sets you up to stay connected and updated in style. For just a tad more investment, you can take advantage of the Technology package that gifts you USB ports in every row. You’ll also get all your infotainment favorites like Apple and Android offerings, along with convenient remote start capabilities.

Sleek New Looks

Add to your cool factor with beautiful all-black 20-inch wheels. Equally striking Premium trim packages come with eye-catching 21-inch trims known as the R-Line aesthetic. If you’re really into dark and mysterious, opt for the R-Line Black trim that’ll give your auto just the right allure.

Heavenly Handling

Dependability will likely never be an issue with the Atlas’ standard eight-speed automatic transmission. You’ll even have some versatility with either four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive options. In addition to the drive choices, you can also choose from either a 235-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a 276-horsepower V6 engine.

Both of these options provide plenty of acceleration and overall power without sacrificing a smooth ride. You won’t have to worry about shakes and shudders while you drive, but you will feel as if you’re zipping along even at lower speeds. Steering and absorption capabilities are strong as well. Best of all, you maintain an efficient fuel economy.

Captain Safety

Take some of the worries out of your road trips with incredibly useful driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control. Plus, this vehicle may actually save your life with its collision warning systems and automated emergency braking. Rest even easier with crash test ratings that earn the highest five stars. If you encounter unexpected mishaps, get assurance from up to two years of complimentary maintenance services.
