I’m a peak edition owner and the improvements coming from the 21 year model is outstanding you really feel the upgrade across all areas from the interior to ride quality to the updated and much refined drivetrain. It just pulls effortlessly in great smoothness, no wonder since the engine is the evo4 of the EA888 engine family, which is basically a detuned Golf R engine, it also features the Audi Valve System for engine head technology! Loads of value in this car and it drives exceptionally well.

I just bought this model today, I really like the turbo vs when I test drove the VR6 version years ago. The interior improvements are substantially more appealing, especially some of the features on the Peak Edition package. Very pleased with this car already hours into owning it. The advantages that made me like the Telluride more in the past have been incorporated for the most part. My Peak Edition does have the electronic gate, and the foot motion activation. The Panoramic Moonroof is lovely - VW has always been solid with moonroofs. The turbo engine is a big improvement - The car no longer feels nose-heavy. The Telluride still suffers from that. We opted for the bench seat - It was cheaper and more kid-accomodating.

I absolutely love my 2024 peak edition. Even though I don’t have a large family, I mainly bought this suv for its large size and comfort and massive cargo space. And the exterior of this car is so elegant without looking too overdone in my opinion. And while I love the sleek interior I am not too crazy about the piano black, but nevertheless it is still a beautiful suv. I do not agree at all that the new 4 cylinder turbo engine is underpowered. My atlas has plenty of passing power when I need it without struggling whatsoever. And to be honest most comments who complain about fuel economy. I mean come on folks, what did you expect from this size SUV? To have corollas fuel economy? I don’t think so. I have zero complaints about fuel economy, if anything it is really good in my opinion for being a 7 passenger suv. All in all, Atlas is a stunner and a great car, as long as it’s regularly maintained. I had a 2016 Tiguan for over 6 years which was regularly maintained and never a single issue… people gotta give proper credit to VW re: reliability when properly maintained. German cars are elegant and way more sophisticated than Japanese cars, so it comes down to a personal choice on what to buy. German cars vs Japanese cars is like comparing apples to oranges…. It simply can’t be done folks.

Another couple of years before that Piano black is phased out! Great review as always, and kudos to VW for offering the bench seat. Did you miss the good'ol fender audio system? Now with so much refreshed competition, I guess we're due for a mid size 3 row comparison featuring the Atlas, Traverse, CX-90, Grand HL, upcoming explorer , the Pilot, some GMC (I don't know if it's the yukon or Acadia that fit this category), palisade and your all time favorite, the indisputable king , the telluride! That's a looong list to compare! Great job as always 👏

We have a 2019 VW Atlas with the V6 engine and it has been good for us. We bought it for being able to leave the car seats installed and being able to get into the third row, with three kids in car seats, it sure is handy. We would be interested in getting a new one, but with no hybrid option and this being a huge vehicle gas milage in the city is not the greatest. So, waiting for now as the Grand Highlander is going to be very hard to get.

“What are the key standard features?!” VW, “Well, we worked in as much shiny black plastic as we could - all the feedback surveys said customers wanted as much as possible. We felt it needed it in those high use areas so that you would buy a VW branded cloth to wipe it all down every day. Oh, and then we kept the torque numbers as low as we could because no one will actually load it up and use it as intended.”

Long time VW owner here who has moved on from the brand because they keep making underpowered vehicles. I test drove the 2024+ with 4 cylinder only powertrain and it’s not the fact that it’s a 4 cylinder, but 269HP is anemic in a 7 passenger SUV. They should’ve at least put the 315hp Golf R tuned 4 cylinder in this SUV… It would’ve been closer to the likes of Ford Explorer 2.3 4 cylinder with 300hp…. The 2018-2023 3.6 V6 wasn’t that great either. Underpowered is just becoming the standard for VW. Gone are the days of premium European vehicles for the masses that also drove like they could take on the autobahn. 269hp is not enough power to get out of its own way when loaded down with 7 people and luggage. It’s better to have more power and rarely having to use it, than not enough power when you need it. I think 0-100kmh in 6 seconds should be the benchmark, which this powertrain doesn’t even come close to doing.

Used to be a VW fanboy too, but so many of their products now are just mediocre/average at best. Definitely not like the old VW. This Atlas does everything okay I guess, but there are so many better options in this category in my opinion to consider. Also long-term reliability and resale value is probably going to be below average.

I dont think you understand how hp and torque work... hp has mostly to do with top speed. You can go 120mph with that hp. The thing you want is torque. Look how diesel engine power ratings are. A lot of times they have much smaller hp numbers but very high torque numbers. These trucks have no issue getting up to speed.

I have a 22 Rline and the 21rims ruin the ride and introduce a ton of raod noise. I actually look forward to the winter tires and rims I have. Most people don't keep cars for ten years anymore, so if you don't then a turbo engine will be fine, but the turbo will let go one day and maybe even take the engine with it, anytime you introduce more complexity to something it reduces its reliability.

Just traded in a 22 Aviator Reserve and bought a Peak Edition. Realizing power is not everything for a family hauler,, VW has perfected the American SUV. Way more spacious and comfortable in every row. And epa mpg is deceiving. Avg. 22-25mpg with mixed driving, rarely broke 19mpg on the Aviator on long highway trips. We are finding the power is adequate for a non performance car and excess where it counts: practicality and utility !

I got the 24 SE with tech/comfort line with tech. Didn’t go for GH because seats were more stiffer than the Atlas. It’s about the same stiffness as the Tiguan I used to have. GH hybrid max is fast for sure. I just don’t think GH hybrid max and $60K belongs in the same sentence. Thought about the Traverse as I’ve owned GM vehicles in the past, but wasn’t available. Also it’s a first year vehicle so kinda skipped that part.

I don't know why anyone would buy an Atlast over the Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride. Bang for buck, the Hyundai/Kia are miles better!

I will tell you why. The top trims do not come with a bench seat (So they are barely 6 seaters as you cannot actually fit someone in the middle seat of the third row) They do not have a car seat friendly tilt. So you cannot access the third row with car seats on outboard seats. Even the top calligraphy trim of palisade does not come with auto folding rearview mirrors and I think one of them also does not have auto wipers. They do not come with a Pano roof, a few trims do come with dual sunroofs though. I am not a VW fan in anyway, just stating the facts.

On paper this could be a match for the outgoing 3.6L VR6, but honestly the Atlas is on the large side of the market and 269hp when you load it up & especially when towing is far too obvious. The Explorer is similar in size and its 2.3L turbo outputs a full 300hp and that would just be considered adequate.

I Europe where I live VW used to be the king of the market: great, reliable, inovative cars In the last 10-15 years they went to sleep, now getting to poor reliability, poor inovation, worst interior quality with more plastic. But so do their brothers Audi, Mercedes, Bmw.... and guess what : customers are switching so fast to Tesla that in 2023 MY got to win the best sold car in Europe. It is the first time in history of Europe that a non european model win this title. And is not even a cheap - low budget model . Many europen customers that previous had VW, Audi, Mercedes, Bmw are switchuming to Tesla I used to have 2 Passat, 1 Bmw e39 5 series, 1 Golf Gti in the past but now I drive a MY as the europen producers lowered so much their quality , reliability and inovation - and all theese making their cars more expensive I had a drive test of the actual Bmw i5 M50 and , except performance, it is not same quality as my former 2003 e39 , it is cheaper made, more plastiqy... all door panels have so much cheap plastic. Incredible for a 100k+ price tag

Even with no towing anything, the engine won't last for 10 years. You could of say it but you won't. You know for sure, but just another fact to brush under the rug. Honesty is not the strong quality here. Again, who ever buy this car will loose a lot of money because these reviews.

Zack said there’s no crystal ball to tell how long it would last. And there isn’t. So they are being honest. If you’ve got historical reliability data on these motors, please feel free to share and contribute something worthwhile to the conversation.
