( www.alltfl.com/) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas just received its largest overhaul since it first launched back in 2018. While it sees a host of upgrades, it's still the same-generation Atlas we've known for the past few years. Are these upgrades enough in a hugely competitive market? Nathan takes a closer look in this first drive review!

My wife just traded her 2021 Honda Passport for a 2024 Atlas Cross Sport, to be honest Honda lost us because all of their current options and dealers are crazy going over sticker and all that. Compared to the Passport the Atlas feels downright luxurius, way more tech and comfort. Smoother ride also. And we got some really good incentives that took us below sticker. When you consider that the atlas is one of the best of the segment. Most reviewers complain about sportiness and thats a big mistake in this segment. Is a family hauler and a cruiser not a Porsche. And as a family cruiser this thing excels

Thank you context is necessary right, why would someone buy this vehicle? It’s for someone that needs a comfortable family mover with spacious middle and 3rd row and this is an excellent vehicle for that. When you look at the price plus all the features (safety/tech), nice interior and exterior, space in back seating, comfortable suspension, etc. it’s a great option. We looked at the Lexus TX350 (Lexus version of the Grand Highlander) this new Atlas kept beating it. That Lexus is a nice car but frankly underwhelming in the interior and exterior for quite more on the price tag, it was also a 4 cylinder with turbo like the Atlas.

The interior layout and space (not design) is what amazes me the most about this vehicle. That third row is pretty usable and still has decent space behind the third row. Perhaps a larger 4cyl Turbo would be more adequate in a vehicle of this size that could be used for towing or just offer a V6 option for those who want to pull a trailer or boat. Styling is okay but I still prefer the older Touareg Wolfsburg Edition when it comes to styling.

I have VW Atlas comfortline It has these disadvantages so far 1- water gets inside the engine room once you wash my Atlas 2- you have to put the driving mode on Eco every time you start the car , it is annoying 3- the car is rattling a lot from the doors and seats 4- the sound of the heating fan is loud 5- it doesn’t have the windshield heater inside the frond window glass , Toyota rav4 has it 6- line assist is not very efficient, try it and you will know what I mean 7- the radar system doesn’t work in the snowy and rainy conditions 8- the fan of climate control is only controlled by the screen, if the screen damaged then you may freeze or get very hot until you get to a mechanical shop 9- the engine turns off once you shift the gear from R to D

Very nice review and very informed. Was amazed that he knew this engine is in part shared with the Golf R and Arteon.. The fact he knew that peaked my interest to watch the whole thing. Good homework dude. I'll be watching more. As a VR6 fan, I know that power plant is over, but what was most amazing is the torque of the new 2,0L T. More torque than a VR6? How the heck did they do that? Amazing ICE stuff going on even today. EV, kiss by bumper. Thanks again dude,

The manufacturers are doing a couple things. First, building engines that have to meet or exceed Government regulations but are less reliable. Secondly, the manufacturer warranty is for the "lifetime" of the vehicle and it's not designed to last past that period. So, you need to purchase an extended warranty. And that's a whole other animal. I'm a VW service adviser and recommend you purchase an extended warranty at the dealer through the manufacturer NOT a 3rd party warranty. CPO's or manufacturer extended warranties are the best although more expensive. But, you need them if you're planning on keeping the vehicle past original warranty period because all German vehicles are complex with not many independent shops able to work on them and are expensive to repair.

they (VAG) have been doing that to the exhausts for a while and it is to protect the exhaust from rear end collisions.

Why do they put a 2.0T in this big SUV? At least Toyota and GM have a larger displacement 4 cylinder turbo with plenty of power and torque. That puny engine doesn’t have a lot of torque. Just 270lbft, for example the Toyota Highlander’s 2.4T has 319lbft of torque, GMs 2.5T has 317lbft. That’s a considerably large difference in grunt, that atlas will be extremely sluggish.

@@zoomzoom3839 agreed. VW did a disservice to the customer that intends to buy the Atlas. That engine will spend most of its operational life in high boost trying to cart around families and their things. Hence this is one of the reasons why the fuel economy on this class of product is dismal. It’s a shame because other than the lack in Powertrain (total dealbreaker) it’s pretty decent overall.

Why did they drop the V6?.. While the turbo V4 is capable of developing enough horsepower with significant turbo boost, the engine won't have the life expectancy of the naturally aspirated V6. VW buyers value simplicity, economy, and longevity. I'm old and have bought a dozen orccso new VW's... from Rabbit diesels, Jettas, V8 Tuoregs, and several new battles and cabriolets... but I switched to the V8 3 pointed star.. certainly not economical, but at my age, reliability and dealer service is the driver. Last VW I owned, called the dealer to schedule service, told it was a 3 week wait.... bought the Benz.

The Atlas Peak showed here with an AS Bambi or Caravel may not be up to the task. If the trailer is the 20 FT model the tongue weight is well over the 600 LB, which exceed the vehicle capacity of 500 LB max allowed tongue weight. It is wrong for VW to be showing this much trailer behind the Atlas. I know this because I bought a 2023 AS Bambi 20FB with the intention of towing with my 2019 VW Atlas 4 Motion. After a couple of test short trips I ended up at the CAT Scale to accurately measure trailer axle and tongue weight, and the last one is much higher than is disclosed by Airstream catalog, exceeding both the Atlas tongue weight limit of 500 LB as well as the Atlas rear axle rating capacity. In addition I didn't like the 2" + squat at the tongue as well as the rotated down appearance of the .hitch bar and ball assembly, just didn't look right, and as you know been a unibody structure VW won't let you set a WDH system. I ended up buying a 2023 Ford F150 XL Supercab with the 2.7 Twin turbo engine. I am very happy with the truck which performed very well during maiden voyage of 11000 miles / 11 weeks around the country with the Bambi behind. Better or equal mpg than the Atlas as well.

i don't get it...they stopped selling the Touareg in the US, want to replace it with the Atlas but the towing capacity is just a joke compared to the Touareg with 3500kg and there is no diesel option 🤷🏻‍♂

My wife has a Volkswagen atlas 2021. She had a deer in May 2023 seven months ago. It has been sitting at the autobody shop every sense Volkswagen is not making hoods or bumpers for this car and other parts for all I know and cannot tell us when a hood or bumper will be available. This is left us with a car that we cannot drive yet. We are still paying on. I would not buy a Volkswagen atlas or any Volkswagen because they are not manufacturing parts to repair their cars.

The only negative I found with this vehicle was the rear camera. It’s beyond awful.

I agree. Camera is not sharp/as clear as it could be. But other than that I’m very happy with this car. The combo of all the features, space, price, looks did it for us.

It still upset me that they haven’t done a review of the Mazda CX90 with the major players in TFL. It makes me think that they didn’t really care to review the CX90 so they said… let the new kid do it.

CX90 is overpriced and doesn’t offer more than competitors. You can even get a fully loaded Hybrid Max Grand Highlander for the same money as the CX90. Currently being a Mazda owner, i m completely disappointed.

​@al151 overpriced lol Offering more doesn't mean some bs tech that most don't care. Its quality materials and upscale design as well as the driver centric ride and engine gets expensive. Not the cheap tricks anymore

The middle isn’t where Volkswagen is supposed to be. Golf’s and GTIs. are supposed to leave Wabbit Twax and all Volkswagens are supposed to have Farfignugen. I don’t know where VW went astray but where they were once the car you followed through traffic to get out of town they’re now the vehicle you dread driving behind and can’t seem to get around in the passing lane.

It’s no brainer, go down to any vw dealer and look at the atlas’ for sale. You will find more 2.0 parked waiting for a buyer vs the VR6, which you will find none.

I would hope at 200k you wouldn't need a rebuild. I have almost 430k on my altima. Should be able to go atmeast 300k before a rebuild. 100k? I do that in 1 year lol.
