Ever since it was unveiled late last year, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas’ hype train has been based around how its size caters to the growing American family. With its arrival in dealerships imminent, we’re now learning about how this SUV will hold up in day-to-day use—and just how thoroughly it one-ups the competition.
In case you missed the boat, the Atlas is big. Its wheel base measures 117.3 inches, and its total interior volume is 153.7 cubic feet. Of that, 96.8 is dedicated to cargo, which soundly thrashes other three-row SUVs in its segment. All rows are easy to access. For driving feel, many reviewers have remarked on how confident the Atlas is while offering maneuverable, communicative steering and suspension. A 235-hp engine comes standard, with a more powerful VR6 with 276-hp and 4Motion AWD as available options on every trim.
