Get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Atlas

Volkswagen Atlas

Get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Atlas

The Volkswagen Atlas is relatively new to the market, having been released in 2018. As a mid-size SUV, it’s in a class that has mass appeal. Does the Volkswagen Atlas have what it takes to make a name for itself in a crowded field? There are many categories in which the VW performs well and should be considered as your next daily driver! At our Steele Volkswagen dealership, we have a massive selection of new and pre-owned Volkswagen vehicles that are waiting for you to take out for a test drive and park at your home permanently. If you are looking to get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Atlas, then you have come to the right place. In this blog, we share some information about the Volkswagen Atlas.

Click here to begin browsing through our new inventory at Steele Volkswagen.

Available all-wheel-drive

Volkswagen’s all-wheel-drive system is called 4Motion. Notably, it’s only offered in conjunction with the V6 engine. It comes with Active Control, a system operated through a simple dial. Active Control has four different drive modes: Dry, Rainy, Snowy, and Rough. By choosing between the various settings, Nova Scotia drivers can optimize the vehicle to perform well given the conditions.

Towing capability

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas can be equipped with a hitch so it can tow a trailer. When a V6 engine is powering the Atlas, the towing capacity is fairly respectable at 5,000 pounds. This is welcome news for anyone who has to transport equipment for work or who has a lot of fun toys to bring along on adventures. 5,000 pounds can open up a lot of possibilities.

Roomy cabin for everyone and everything

Three rows of seats in the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas can accommodate a total of seven people. The front bucket seats are spacious, and the second row is comfortable as well, with 37.6 inches of legroom. Things are a bit smaller in the third row, but children and smaller riders should be fine with the 33.7 inches of legroom. It helps that only two seat belts are included in that back row so people can spread out a bit. The storage area behind the third row measures 20.6 cubic feet. If that row is folded down, cargo capacity increases to 55.5 cubic feet. If both the second and third-row are folded, there are many more possibilities for storing items. Cargo volume behind the first row of seats is 96.8 cubic feet. This is plenty of room for most items, but if lumbar or something very large needs to be transported, there’s always the roof to take advantage of.

Bring things to a safe stop

Accidents can never be perfectly predicted, but with the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, steps can be taken to minimize damage. After a collision, the VW can slow itself down. This can be crucial considering that there’s the potential for another impact immediately after the initial collision.

If you are looking to get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Atlas, then we encourage you to schedule a test drive in one on our Steele VW website today.
