Why Buy a 2023 Volkswagen Atlas?
November 10 2022,
The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas is the largest and most expensive SUV in the VW lineup and as such, it offers more space, more power and more luxury than any other model in the range, These are three of the many reasons why you should consider it for your next vehicle.
Loads of space
The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas is a large SUV that is capable of easily seating seven passengers and taking on luggage at the same time. This is because even with the third row in place, up to 583 litres of cargo can be loaded up into the rear of the Atlas. If only five or fewer people are on board, the rear-most row can be folded flat into the floor to accommodate larger items or up to 1,572 litres of cargo. For special occasions where you need to transport a bulky item or a very large load of stuff, the middle row can also be folded to reveal up to 2,741 litres of space to be used. This generous cabin volume also benefits the passengers by making it more comfortable on longer drives.
Two powertrains to choose from
The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas can be powered by one of two engines depending on your needs and preferences. The standard engine is the turbocharged 2,0L four-cylinder unit that delivers 235 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via the standard 4Motion AWD system and the 8-speed transmission. This engine is the most efficient choice, which makes it ideal for most buyers. However, if you need to tow up to 5,000 pounds and you want a little extra power under your right foot, the 3,6L VR6 engine is also available with its 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque.
A premium experience
The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas can be equipped with so many features and technologies that it is almost a premium vehicle. Most of these elements are standard on the top-of-the-line Execline version, such as the ventilated front seats, the ambient lighting system, the Travel Assist system, or the premium Fender 11-speaker sound system. The entry-level Atlas is also well equipped, notably with the standard 8,0-inch Digital Cockpit, the heated front seats, and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
