With technology evolving rapidly, the 2021 VW Atlas has evolved into a prime example of an SUV. With high performance, luxury, and safety all in mind, the technology integrated into the new Atlas makes it the best three-row SUV to take on any road trip.

A 2.0L 4-cylinder engine powers the 2021 Atlas, capable of 235 horsepower when using premium fuel that lets you travel city roads with 21 mpg and up to 24 mpg on the highways. But if that’s not enough for you, there’s also a 3.6L V-6 engine available. This engine will take you far fast with 276 horsepower at its disposal. Just point it in the right direction.

 

Four different all-wheel-drive modes are also at your fingertips with the 4MOTION and Active Control feature. Switch between snow mode, on-road, off-road, and custom off-road, depending on where your drive takes you.

 

 

Tech Savvy

The 2021 Atlas is a hub of useful technology, from the VW Car-Net you can use to control your vehicle from outside the driver’s seat to its hotspot and ability to detect nearby cars on the road while you’re driving. Dynamic Road Sign Display even keeps you up to date on official speed limits when there isn’t a sign in sight.

 

And then there’s IQ Drive, a whole package of automated systems to help you as you’re driving. Such as the familiar Active Side Assist that helps monitor your blind spots and the Adaptive Cruise Control that not only lets you set a top speed but a minimum distance to keep between you and the car ahead. To top it off, Travel Assist, a semi-autonomous driving aid, is available to assist you.

 

Three Row SUV

There’s no lack of elbow room in this year’s Atlas either. With three rows of seating, 7 people can fit comfortably inside, without knocking into each other. There’s also Climatronic 3-zone automatic climate control and speakers in the third row to ensure everyone can hear and feel comfortable.

 

You can fold down the back rows of seats for 98.6 cubic feet of storage space for luggage. The panoramic sunroof lets light shine on all three rows, enhancing that open-air, road-trip feeling.

 

 

Features to Feel Safe With

You can feel prepared to tackle anything the drive throws at you, even danger. The Atlas comes with a safety cage designed to redistribute the force of a crash away from you and your family in case one happens. With the Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS), you won’t have to worry about unlocking the doors or activating your hazard lights. The Atlas does it for you if the airbags deploy.

 

The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System does its part, too, activating the brakes after a collision to ensure your car stops moving and helps you avoid any secondary crashes.
