The newly refreshed 2021 Atlas features updated styling that gives each trim a more streamlined look than previous models. Engineers also paid close attention to preserve other features that owners find most appealing, such as the extensive cabin room and the now standard 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive. Here, we review other key equipment that makes the Atlas a great purchase for any family's driving needs.
The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas has powertrain versatility
Many SUVs just provide one powertrain option in their model lineups, but the Atlas offers two for the Comfortline and Highline. The first is a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that generates 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of responsive torque. For those who prefer a different type of power, a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine is also available, which produces 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. This engine also powers the premium-grade Execline.
All drivetrains include an eight-speed automatic transmission with standard Start/Stop and regenerative braking. Important for Canada's seasonal road conditions, 4MOTION AWD is standard on all models.
The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas focuses on comfort and safety
Every Atlas model features impressive cabin volume that translates to 2,741 litres of cargo capacity behind the front seats. The second row's 60/40 split seats configure to offer flexibility with passenger and load needs. The third row folds, enabling 1,572 litres of cargo volume behind the rear seats.
All models include generous headroom, legroom and shoulder room throughout all three rows. As a matter of fact, the third row has the greatest amount of legroom available in its class, proving that the Atlas is a true seven-passenger SUV.
