Room and Design

The Volkswagen Atlas has plenty of room for seven passengers to fit comfortably in the three rows as its class-leading third-row legroom grants even taller passengers space. However, the true star of the show is the adaptable seats that are easily moved forward for putting passengers in the third row, and they fold down to reveal over 95 cubic feet of storage space, so you'll have room for bringing kids to Matterhorn mini golf for a birthday or supplies to Found Lake Park for a picnic.

Capability

West Hartford drivers will have two engine options to pick from, a turbocharged four-cylinder and a V6, although most models come standard with the V6. The power and efficiency of these engines will put a smile on any driver's face, but they're far from the only way the Volkswagen Atlas strives to make your drive better.

While the 8-speed automatic transmission shifts without a noticeable hiccup, the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system is a must-have for handling the treacherous road conditions that accompany winter weather. With this system and the Active Control function, you can choose a driving mode for the setting you're in, whether that's a beach or mountain, and it can help you tow trailers up to 5,000 pounds in weight.

Equipment and Safety

While the Volkswagen Atlas undoubtedly possesses traditional SUV characteristics like cargo space and towing ability, it's also one of the smartest SUVs that New Britain car shoppers will find on their search. Its modernity shows from the outside with available features like an expansive panoramic sunroof, a hands-free Easy Open liftgate, and LED exterior lighting, and this trend continues on the inside with an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto programs that let you use mobile apps more safely through a touchscreen in the dash.

Speaking of safety, the Atlas is available with all manner of driver-assisting technology, which uses high-tech sensors to look out for other cars and road hazards that may pose a risk. These features include:

• Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• High Beam Control
• Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Parking Steering Assistant

Trim Levels

The Volkswagen Atlas comes in four trim levels (S, SE, SEL, and SEL Premium) but there are several other options within those trim levels, like the Technology package that adds features like Front Assist and three-zone climate control and the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system. Whichever trim and package drivers choose, they can expect lots of great features and characteristics, but there will be more standard and available features as you move up the levels.
