Volkswagen
Three rows of German practicality at American prices
The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas delivers something rare: genuine German-engineered build quality in a properly sized 3-row family SUV that doesn't demand a German luxury-brand budget. With seating for 7, a composed highway ride, and a torquey turbocharged 2.0L engine producing 269 HP, the Atlas competes directly with the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse. Its refreshed interior for 2024 features a floating touchscreen and improved materials. The 4MOTION AWD system offers genuine all-weather confidence, and the second-row captain's chairs slide forward 6 inches for dramatic third-row access.
One of the safest cars on sale — IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
