Not only does the 2024 Atlas offer three-row versatility, but it also adds a touch of luxury that sets it apart from its competitors. The sporty and upscale new design makes a statement on the road. Discover the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and experience a spacious SUV that exceeds expectations with its abundance of features and refined driving experience.
The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas has undergone a significant redesign, featuring a refined overall design that is immediately recognizable. At the front, the new fascia gives the Atlas an unmistakable look, with a brand-new grille featuring a distinctive four-bar design flanked by LED headlights. The headlights come with a standard adaptive front lighting system that pivots the lights as per the direction of the steering wheel, ensuring maximum illumination around corners. The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas boasts LED daytime running lights that stretch across the entire width of the front end, making it even more pronounced. The centrally located illuminated Volkswagen logo serves as a visual signature in all trims except the base model, making the Atlas an instantly recognizable vehicle.
The 2024 Atlas features newly redesigned aluminum wheels, with every model sporting a new design. The top-of-the-line models feature bold 21-inch wheels, while the others range in size from 18 to 20 inches. The Atlas Peak Edition stands out with its unique design that includes all-terrain tires wrapped around 18-inch black wheels. It also features an array of exclusive accents that complement the model’s adventurous persona.
The rear of the redesigned Volkswagen Atlas comes with the same continuous daytime light bar, illuminated in bright red, and an exclusive touch for the segment, a red illuminated Volkswagen emblem. The 2024 Atlas has a sportier look with a more pronounced spoiler, contributing to its sleek profile while also appearing more aggressive with a redesigned rear diffuser. The new Atlas retains its refined appeal while also showcasing a sportier overall design.
One of the most discerning features of the Atlas has always been its upscale interior. The redesigned 2024 Atlas takes it a step further with leather trim and soft-touch materials placed on the console and dashboard that combined, create a truly premium environment. The wraparound trim is perfectly integrated, and the upscale soft-touch materials on the rear doors add to the overall level of refinement. As you climb up in the new Atlas range, you will find even more distinct features that set top-of-the-line models apart, such as diamond-quilted leather seats.
The interior of the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas certainly feels luxurious, and it has the features to match the design. Standard heated front seats are included, but that is just the beginning. The new Atlas also offers a first in its segment: standard Climatronic ventilated front seats. That means whether you are in the heart of summer or the middle of winter, you will always be comfortable in your new Atlas, regardless of the version you have purchased. A heated steering wheel is also standard fare. The front passenger also benefits from a new height-adjustable seat that enhances overall comfort. Last but not least, there is an available ambient lighting system that provides owners with 30 color options to create a customized look at night. Complemented by an innovative, backlit decor with an integrated Atlas emblem, the ambient lighting system gives Atlas owners a feature normally reserved for much pricier luxury SUVs.
One element that hasn’t changed in the 2024 iteration of the Volkswagen Atlas is the interior space offered across all three rows. Already one of the most welcoming models in its segment, the 2024 Atlas provides generous legroom and headroom across all three rows, but particularly in the second and third rows. This is one of the few three-row SUVs in its segment that can accommodate passengers across all three rows for long journeys or on a regular basis. Owners also enjoy over 600 litres of cargo space behind the third row, which means that you do not sacrifice versatility if you bring more passengers.
The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas introduces the all-new Peak Edition, adding a touch of ruggedness to the lineup. With its unique visual elements, this model sets itself apart, while still offering the comfort and refinement characteristic of the Atlas. Notable features include 18-inch black wheels with all-terrain tires, and exclusive design elements. Whether on the road or exploring uncharted paths, the Atlas Peak Edition is designed to make a statement.
The powertrain and engine of the 2024 Atlas have been significantly improved. Previously available with a choice between a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.6-litre V6, the new Atlas is now equipped with a single engine that delivers the performance of the outgoing six-cylinder and the efficiency of the previous base turbo engine. The new 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbo generates 269 hp and 273 pound-feet of torque, offering comparable output to the previous V6 engine but with increased torque for quicker reactions and more confident passing. Despite its better overall performance, the redesigned Atlas achieves an average fuel consumption rating of only 10.8 L per 100 km, surpassing the previous V6 models in efficiency.
The newly introduced engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, allowing for manual control via paddle shifters. Power is distributed to all four wheels through the standard 4Motion all-wheel drive system, which remains one of the most advanced in the industry. With a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the Atlas offers the capability that SUV buyers desire. In summary, the redesigned 2024 Volkswagen Atlas provides increased power, improved efficiency, and equal capability.
The Atlas already had some advanced connectivity and safety technologies to offer its owners, but the refresh for 2024 gives you even more. The displays have been redesigned with the centre touchscreen now housed in a floating centre console with a 12-inch touchscreen that is easy to use and navigate with stunning graphics and a user-friendly layout. The standard 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster organizes all important information in an easy-to-read format right in front of the driver. A heads-up display is also offered.
When it comes to safety, once again, the new Atlas delivers in every trim with a long list of standard IQ.Drive driver assistance technologies. Every Atlas trim features advanced hands-on semi-automatic driver assistance to make every journey more enjoyable. When driving on the highway, owners will appreciate the lane centering feature that keeps the Atlas perfectly positioned in its lane. Driving around the city is made easier with technology that can warn the driver should an unexpected obstacle suddenly appear. Adaptive cruise control is also offered, creating a more serene experience on long journeys. Volkswagen’s advanced driver assistance features are designed to keep you safe without interfering with your driving experience.
