"The 20-inch wheels clomp over lateral freeway seams, and yet the ride control over whoop-de-doos is nautical in its bounciness," VanderWerp said after taking it on a few road trips. Director of vehicle testing Dave VanderWerp was one of many who complained about the ride and handling balance. While none of us expected the Atlas to drive like a GTI, we would've liked for it to exhibit more Germanic driving character than it does. "But I can't believe anyone would buy this over a Telluride." "Maybe at $32,000 I'd think it was acceptable," noted reviews editor Tony Quiroga. Newer competitors such as the Hyundai Palisade and 10Best-winning Kia Telluride are almost luxury-car-like in their refinement and plushness, making the Atlas feel a bit plebian in comparison.

Several drivers complained about the so-so fit and finish, cheap plastics, and annoying amount of wind noise at highway speeds. Space alone does not a pleasant interior make, however, and we weren't thrilled with the Atlas's materials or cabin isolation, especially for the price. LOWS: Underwhelming V-6, clumsy ride and handling, cheap interior materials. Buyer's guide staff editor Eric Stafford called the Atlas's massive interior space its "defining characteristic," noted that the second- and third-row seats are easy to fold, and praised the flat cargo floor that makes it easy to slide in items such as coolers and folding chairs. Smart packaging means both the second- and third-row seats can comfortably hold adult passengers, while the cargo area remains functional even with all the seats in use. Many of the positive comments in the Atlas's logbook centered on its ability to carry around people and stuff with ease. The Atlas is huge even by three-row SUV standards, and we found many uses for its capacious interior over the course of our long-term test. But it seems the company finally hit the nail on the head by making the Atlas simply big and boxy. Throughout its history, Volkswagen has made various attempts at understanding U.S. And why do you need the dealer to complete the final few inches of your vehicle's trailer wiring? Ask VW. Since this is the Atlas's top trim level, which includes a digital gauge cluster, panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, and adaptive cruise control, we didn't add any options except for a $57 trailer hitch connector from the dealer. Priced at $49,390, it was equipped with the optional 3.6-liter V-6 (a turbo 2.0-liter inline-four is standard) and 4Motion all-wheel drive. Our 2019 Atlas was a top-of-the-line SEL Premium model stickering for nearly $50K.
