2027 Volkswagen Atlas

All-new second-generation 2027 Volkswagen Atlas three row SUV, about an inch longer than the outgoing Atlas, is powered by a new 282 horsepower turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder TSI® engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and Volkswagen’s 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system is available across the lineup with a hybrid variant planned to arrive with the midcycle refresh. Towing capacity remains at 5,000 pounds. The large free-standing infotainment screen is 15 inches on all but the base trim, which gets a 12.9-inch display. All Atlas models feature Volkswagen’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro configurable gauge cluster.
