While the sleek lines of the exterior and the thoughtful design of the comfortable interior are evident, there are a few bonus features to help drivers optimize their Atlas owning experience.

Exterior

The Volkswagen Atlas is a world leader in innovation. The sleek exterior with smooth lines is a testament to the brand’s eye for style and function. A major feature is the LED headlights with integrated fog and cornering lights to help you see the road and any hazards, no matter the conditions. Available as an add-on is an auto-tilting sunroof, a great feature for those who love to keep their head in the clouds and wish upon stars.

Interior

Leatherette seats maximize comfort, while thoughtful design elements such as the included wireless smartphone charging capability help everyone stay connected and charged during a drive. Second- and third-row seating provides ample room for all passengers, but also folds down to reveal up to 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space. And if you and your crew love music, it comes with an optional Fender audio system to enhance your listening enjoyment.

Technology

The interior center dash features a touch-screen navigation system and offers route guidance. The intuitive feature will give drivers turn-by-turn instructions, a far cry from pulling over and reading a traditional fold-out map. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit displays important driver information. Some trim levels feature the Pro version, complete with customizable abilities and an enhanced user experience. The Atlas also has App Connect, which is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Driver-Assist Features

A standard safety cage built into the body of the vehicle is one of the most innovative features that proves Volkswagen cares about customers. The front and rear crumple zones absorb the energy from an impact and distribute the force to other places of the vehicle to help keep drivers and passengers safer.

Special Features

Considerate elements to help tired drivers or daily commuters include features like Traffic Jam Assist and Lane-Centering Steering for extra support in stressful traffic. Speed limit notification is a great way to self-monitor if you are always running late or if you have a novice driver.
