The ultimate family SUV is back better than ever with the spacious and dynamic 2024 Volkswagen Atlas. The Atlas has a keen combination of style and practical features to make managing your family’s busy schedule simple. Learn why this refreshed full-size SUV is ideal for your growing family before you visit your Volkswagen dealer. Let’s take a look at four innovative features of the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas.
1. Fuel-Efficient Powertrain
The base 2024 Volkswagen Atlas SE has a lightweight 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine boosts the overall fuel efficiency of the SUV since the compact design takes up less space under the hood and doesn’t weigh as much as other engine designs. The SE has a FWD drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission with selectable drive modes. This model can tow up to 5,000 lbs.
This model has a fuel economy of 20 MPG in the city, 27 MPG on the highway, and 23 MPG combined. Drivers can enjoy enhanced fuel efficiency with a built-in start-stop system for the engine, which reduces fuel consumption in idling traffic. The Atlas has an 18.6-gallon fuel tank capacity, which means a full tank produces a maximum driving range of 372 miles in urban areas and 502 miles on the highway.
2. Flexible Cargo Space
The Atlas SE boasts a maximum cargo space of 96.6 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. This is plenty of room for large sports gear, luggage, moving boxes, medium-sized furniture, and pet crates. When all seats are locked in place, this model has a cargo capacity of 20.6 cubic feet.
The key to the flexible cargo space for this remarkable model is the folding second and third-row seats. The second-row seats can fold with a 60/40 split, which means one or two seats can be left open for passengers. The third-row seats have a 50/50 split, or they can fold completely flat to extend the cargo area as needed.
3. Intuitive Safety
The Atlas keeps your family safe with a series of intuitive safety and driver assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and emergency assist. The forward collision warning system is programmed to detect pedestrians and cyclists to assist with automatic emergency braking procedures if the collision warning isn’t heeded in time. Rear Traffic Alert is also standard for this model.
4. Diverse Infotainment
The base Atlas has a diverse infotainment system housed in a 12-inch touchscreen. This multimedia system has six USB ports and supports smartphone integration for fast access to your favorite navigation apps or streaming services. A multicolored Digital Cockpit Pro with customized driver profiles is also standard for this model.
The 2024 Atlas is a dream SUV for families who need flexible cargo capacity for various activities. Check out this family vehicle at Auffenberg Volkswagen in Shiloh, IL today.
