Atlas Features
Exterior
With much of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas built at a plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, it is obvious that this full-sized crossover has styling that is decidedly American. Measuring in at just under 200 inches from front to rear bumper, the Volkswagen Atlas is on the larger end of the mid-size crossover spectrum. Its looks feature an overall angular bent with flared fenders and an oversized grille that segues smoothly into full LED headlights that are standard. LED taillights are an available option.
Interior
Inside, drivers of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas will find the manufacturer's Car-Net infotainment system front and center on the dashboard. Flanking it are two large air vents.
Offering ample room for all three rows of passengers, including the all-important headroom, the second row in the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas slides forward and back to allow easy access to the third row. Unlike most of its competition, though, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas allows a child safety seat to remain in place in the second row while occupants of the roomy third seat enter or exit it.
Consumers can choose either a three-person bench seat for the second row or pay extra for two captain's chairs. Depending on that choice, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas can seat either six or seven passengers. An available panoramic sunroof provides the feeling of a convertible without the hassles of one. Other available features include:
- Faux-leather seats
- 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third row seats folded down
- Heated seats
