New for 2022
The Atlas offer has been streamlined to six trims for the 2022 model year—SE, SE w/ Technology, SEL, SEL R-Line, SEL R-Line Black (late availability) and SEL Premium R-Line.
The SE model now features an 8.0-inch Digital Cockpit. The SE w/ Technology models add USB-C ports for the third row and a standard trailer hitch for models equipped with the VR6® engine, as well as an optional 20-inch black wheel package.
4Motion is now standard on SEL models, as are machined 20-inch wheels. An optional R-Line Black package (late availability) features black 20-inch wheels, along with black R-Line styling elements. The R-Line is now standard on the SEL Premium, including 21-inch wheels.
MSRP for the Atlas 2.0-liter starts at $33,475 for front-wheel drive and $35,375 for 4Motion all-wheel drive. The powerful VR6 engine is available on the Atlas SE w/ Technology models and above, starting at $39,395 for front-wheel-drive models and $41,295 for 4Motion models. Destination is $1,195.
Exterior
The recently refreshed Atlas makes a style statement from the front. The front fascia features a bold three-bar grille, which extends into the front light signature, creating a sophisticated presence. Headlight designs feature standard full-LED lighting, including low beams, high beams, Daytime Running Lights (DRLs); taillights are LEDs as well. SEL models and above add standard 900-lumen LED headlights with Volkswagen’s Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS). Automatic headlamps and rain-sensing windshield wipers are standard across the lineup. SEL R-Line Black trims (later availability) receive black headlights and taillights, along with black front and rear fascia, door molding, mirror caps, and roof rails.
Overhead, roof rails are standard. They are black on the first two trims and the SEL R-Line Black and silver on SEL models and above. A large panoramic sunroof, measuring about 4.5 feet by 3 feet, with a two-part glass opening system and powered sunshade, is available on SE w/ Technology models and standard on SEL models and above.
Interior
The interior design of the Atlas is classic Volkswagen—clean and functional, with a premium feel. Driver controls are positioned for optimal ergonomics and usability, and simple, driver-centric displays enhance involvement behind the wheel. The seat position, shifter height, and the spacing between the pedals are all designed for maximum driver comfort. With available contrast stitching on the surfaces and door trim as well as the steering wheel, the 2022 model offers a high-end environment that belies its attainable starting price. Ambient lighting, standard on the Atlas SEL and above, further highlights this upscale character.
Inside, the Atlas makes maximum use of its three-row seating layout to offer space for up to seven adults, boasting a cavernous 154 cu-ft of total passenger volume. Headroom is 41.3/40.4/38.3 inches (first/second/third rows), while legroom is 41.7/37.6/33.7 inches, respectively. Standard second-row bench seating offers a 60/40 split, a 14-degree backrest recline function, and a 7.7-inch sliding range (each side sliding separately). An innovative folding mechanism for the second row offers easy entry and exit room on both sides by enabling the second-row bench to tilt and slide forward, even with child seats in place.
Seats are finished in premium materials, no matter the trim line. Atlas SE trims and above come with leatherette seating surfaces, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat and a second-row middle armrest with integrated cup holders. SEL models add a three-profile driver’s-seat memory function and an eight-way power passenger seat. SEL Premium models feature standard leather seating surfaces with available contrast stitching and heated outboard seats for the second row.
Captain’s Chairs are available on SE w/ Technology models and above. This replaces the three-passenger, second-row bench seat with two individual seats for even greater comfort and adjustability. The two-passenger third-row bench seat offers a 50/50 split, and both second- and third-row seats feature fold-flat functionality.
