2027 Volkswagen Atlas

Available 4Motion® All-Wheel Drive

Standard on SEL R-Line and SEL Premium R-Line (and available on SE and SE with Technology), Volkswagen’s intelligent 4Motion® AWD continuously monitors wheel traction and distributes torque between the front and rear axles before wheelspin occurs—ideal for icy Southern Illinois mornings and wet boat ramps.

Stronger Power, Better Fuel Economy

Despite gaining horsepower over the outgoing generation, the 2027 Atlas improves efficiency across the board. Front-wheel-drive models earn an EPA-estimated 22 city / 29 highway / 25 combined MPG, while 4Motion® AWD trims achieve 20 city / 27 highway / 23 combined MPG.

Step inside the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas and you are welcomed by a serene, architectural cabin accented by genuine wood trim, soft-touch surfaces, and integrated ambient lighting. Moving the gear selector to the steering column unlocked a cleaner, multi-level center console featuring a tactile Driver Experience Dial for quick volume, drive mode, and cabin atmosphere adjustments.

Standout cockpit technology and comfort features include:

• 12.9-inch or 15-inch Center Infotainment Display: Crisp, tablet-style interface with wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, and intuitive climate sliders.
• 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro: Standard customizable driver display placing full-screen navigation maps, safety status, and trip data directly in your line of sight.
• Standard Heated & Ventilated Front Seats: Every 2027 Atlas includes both heated and ventilated front seats to keep you comfortable through humid Illinois summers and freezing winters, plus available full-back massage on SEL Premium R-Line.
• Dual Wireless Charging & 7 USB-C Ports: Simultaneously charge two phones wirelessly up front while keeping devices powered across all three rows.

Unlike midsize crossovers where the third row is strictly for small children, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas delivers 34.1 inches of third-row legroom, more third-row legroom than any competitor in its class. Full-grown adults can comfortably ride in the back row on multi-hour trips to St. Louis or Nashville.

Volkswagen designed the second row around real-world parenting logistics:

• Child-Seat-Friendly Tilt & Slide: The 60/40-split second-row bench slides 7.7 inches and tilts forward with a single lever even with forward-facing child safety seats still latched in place.
• 7-Passenger Bench or 6-Passenger Captain’s Chairs: Seats seven standard in a 2-3-2 layout, or upgrade to individual second-row captain’s chairs on SE with Technology and above for a direct center aisle to the third row.
• Standard Rear Window Sunshades & Dedicated Vents: Integrated pull-up sunshades and dedicated second- and third-row air vents keep rear passengers cool and shaded.

Whether you are hauling travel softball gear, loading up at the warehouse club, or packing camping equipment for Giant City State Park, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas swallows cargo effortlessly.

Both the 50/50-split third row and the second row fold completely flat to create an uninterrupted load floor:

• 21.2 cu ft behind the 3rd Row: Easily accommodates a full grocery run or multiple strollers even with all three rows upright.
• 55.9 cu ft behind the 2nd Row: Fold the third row flat for spacious 5-passenger road-trip luggage capacity.
• 95.4 cu ft Maximum Cargo Volume: Drop both rear rows to unlock massive cargo space that outperforms the Honda Pilot (87.0 cu ft) and Kia Telluride (89.3 cu ft).
• Standard Power Liftgate: Every 2027 Atlas features a power liftgate with Easy Open and Close capability.

5,000-lb Towing Capacity

Starting on the SE with Technology trim and above, Volkswagen includes a factory-installed trailer hitch rated for up to 5,000 lbs with a braked trailer, no expensive aftermarket hitch installation required.

Selectable Drive Modes

Use the center console Driver Experience Dial to switch between Eco, Comfort, Sport, Custom, and available Snow and Off-Road modes on 4Motion® AWD trims for tailored throttle and traction response.

Carefree Coverage Included

Every new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, 2 years/20,000 miles of Scheduled Carefree Maintenance, and 3 years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

• Travel Assist: Semi-automated driving assistance that helps steer, accelerate, and brake within your lane on highway commutes along I-57.
• Front Assist: Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring.
• Active Blind Spot Monitor: Alerts you to vehicles in adjacent lanes and can counter-steer if you attempt a lane change into traffic.

• Rear Traffic Alert: Warns of approaching cross-traffic when backing out of busy parking spaces and applies brakes if necessary.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Stop & Go: Maintains your preset distance from traffic ahead, smoothly bringing the Atlas to a stop and resuming automatically.
• Emergency Assist & Exit Warning: Can bring the vehicle to a controlled stop if the driver becomes unresponsive, and alerts occupants to cyclists before opening doors.

The Value-Focused Family

Choose the Atlas SE. Because Volkswagen made heated/ventilated front seats, a power tailgate, rear sunshades, and a 12.9-inch touchscreen standard for 2027, the entry SE feels anything but basic.

The Weekend Boat & Camper Hauler

Go with the Atlas SE with Technology 4Motion®. You get the factory-installed 5,000-lb trailer hitch, the larger 15-inch touchscreen, 20-inch wheels, and remote start at the strongest value point in the lineup.

The First-Class Road Tripper

Pick the SEL R-Line or SEL Premium R-Line. Standard 4Motion® AWD, genuine leather, heated/ventilated second-row seats, Head-Up Display, and available Harman Kardon® audio deliver executive-level refinement.
