Why it stands out
The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is designed to cater to families with its generous passenger and cargo space, offering a comfortable three-row seating layout that can fit up to seven passengers. One of its main strengths is the roomy third row, which provides more legroom than many competitors, making it a strong consideration for those needing additional space. This year, the Atlas has seen a subtle exterior refresh that includes updated front and rear bumpers and new LED lighting, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
Despite its spaciousness, the Atlas does have some downsides, including a less-than-stellar ride quality and fuel efficiency that may not impress those looking for a more dynamic driving experience. According to expert reviews, while the Atlas performs adequately, the driving experience can feel truck-like, with less precise handling and more road imperfections coming through to the cabin. However, it balances these aspects with its features, including a user-friendly tech suite with Bluetooth and smartphone integration across all models, making it a practical choice for family needs.

This vehicle is a slightly bigger and better built option to the Ford Explorer, and I found it very comparable to the Kia Telluride.

Love this SUV. I have never had a VW before and honestly I will never own another type. All the features, only thing I didn’t get was the sunroof but I will next time

I love how much space there is for the 3rd row. With 3 growing boys and 2 still needing to be in harness booster it is why I chose the atlas over highlander or 4runner with 3rd row. Even moving the 2nd row up to have space in the 3rd row is still roomy. With backpacks and diaper bag, extra floor space is a big necessity for me. I have been looking at the Atlas for a year. Im extremely happy I finally chose one. I also love i can still fit my graco stroller behind the 3rd row. Its not the full size or the smallest one. It still has the bottom carry space if that helps any other moms decide.

We love our ATLAS. Our family recently expanded and this vehicle has PLENTY of space for me and my family. I didn’t give it 5 stars because there are some things we would change about the vehicle, but we still love the functionality of the vehicle overall.
