Why it stands out
The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas distinguishes itself in the crowded midsize SUV market with its generous interior space, making it an ideal choice for families. With accommodations for up to seven passengers, it offers superior cargo capacity compared to many of its rivals, including more space than the Chevrolet Tahoe. Volkswagen has also equipped the Atlas with family-friendly technology and convenience features, such as an easy-to-use infotainment system and options like a 360-degree camera and Park Assist on higher trims. Yet, while it provides a comfortable ride, some users have noted that the acceleration can feel less responsive, and the quality of interior materials might not match the expectations set by its price point. Nevertheless, the Atlas's blend of practicality, safety, and styling makes it a compelling option for those in need of a versatile family vehicle.

The Atlas is so much fun to drive! It drives like a car. Seats are very comfortable, and every seat (even in the 3rd row) has a lot of room, making it perfect for road trips. As a mom, I needed something car seat friendly, and the Atlas exceeds my needs. The 2nd roe has a car seat friendly tilt and there are anchor tethers on all backseats. Interior is minimalistic, but makes it very easy to wipe down. I love apple car play! Overall this vehicle upgraded our busy lives with kids!!

Excellent model. Features were just what we were looking for. Love adaptive cruise, lane keeping, panoramic sunroof and ample space behind the third row, so we can haul people AND gear at the same time.
