The Volkswagen Atlas is a true icon in the world of large SUVs, and this year’s model does not disappoint. The three-row SUV boasts impressive passenger comfort, and excellent cargo capacity and hauling capabilities. Read on to know why the 2023 VW Atlas deserves to be your next vehicle.

1. Exterior Design

Make grand entrances with the attractive design of the 2023 Atlas. You either get 18-, 20-, or 21-inch wheel size options. There are five distinct trims available for the all-new Atlas, including SE, SE with Technology, SEL, SEL R-Line Black, and SEL Premium R-Line.

Buyers have multiple exciting exterior hues to choose from. Besides basic colors like pure white and deep black, you also get other exciting hues like pyrite silver metallic, tourmaline blue metallic, and platinum gray metallic.

2. Comfortable Interior

A classy interior welcomes you in the ’23 VW Atlas. The panoramic sunroof illuminates your interior during the day. It is offered in 2nd and 3rd-row seat configurations. The two-row seats five passengers, while the three-row seats seven in its standard form and six when you opt for the available 2nd-row captain’s chairs.

The base Atlas trim provides a 6.5-inch infotainment display, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 6-speaker sound system. High-end trims are fitted with an 8-inch touchscreen, a 12-speaker stereo, a wireless gadget charger, and navigation.

3. Powerful Engines

Feel an invigorating rush of power when you get behind the wheel of the ’23 Atlas, featuring a base 2-liter turbocharged I-4 generating 235 horsepower and 258 lb. feet of torque. An optional 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V-6 produces 276 horsepower and 266 lb. feet of torque. FWD is standard, AWD is optional, and every ’23 Atlas trim gets an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The new Atlas allows you to easily switch between four available AWD modes to suit different driving situations. They include snow, on-road, off-road, and off-road custom mode.

4. Cutting-Edge Safety Technology

Safety is a top priority for the 2023 Atlas. The rearview camera system helps you to see obstacles when backing up, and the tire pressure monitoring system alerts you to loss of tire pressure so you can add more air. You also get the electronic brake pressure distribution, which allows you to maintain the necessary stopping ability during a hand-braking scenario. Additional standard safety features are forward collision warning, six stability-enhancing systems, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The ’23 Atlas was designed to efficiently handle your family needs. It offers a cargo space of 20.6 cubic feet behind the third-row seats and 98.8 cubic feet with folded rear seats -enough to accommodate your carry-on bags or camping gear. Visit us at Sisbarro Volkswagen in Las Cruces, NM to take your favorite Volkswagen model for a test drive.
