2021 Volkswagen Atlas
2021 Volkswagen Atlas Review
- Spacious interior offers ample passenger room in all three rows
- Great compromise between precise handling and everyday comfort
- Straightforward, easy-to-use cabin design
- Lackluster acceleration, even with the optional V6
- Lower fuel economy than most competitors
- Restyled front and rear bodywork
- Upgraded interior appointments
- Part of the first Atlas generation introduced for 2018
The Volkswagen Atlas was VW's first swing at a three-row midsize SUV, and the automaker knocked it out of the park. Its roomy cabin and comfortable ride helped place it near the top of the pack when it debuted in 2018. But new competitors and a rapidly evolving market mean Volkswagen feels the need to offer some updates to keep the Atlas fresh.
On the outside, the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas gets restyled headlights, bumpers, taillights and a new grille. The interior receives some mild changes such as a new steering wheel and the addition of new driver aids including a system that can scan traffic signs. This latter feature can help you know what the speed limit of the road you're on, even if you didn't see the sign yourself.
Alas, the Atlas is powered by the same engines as before: a turbocharged 235-horsepower four-cylinder and a 276-hp six-cylinder engine. We think Volkswagen missed an opportunity here to add some power under the hood since even the optional six-cylinder lacks the power to get this big SUV moving with any real authority. Overall, though, the 2021 VW Atlas is still a compelling contender among three-row family SUVs.
What's it like to live with?
Want to know even more about the Atlas? Edmunds added a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SE with Technology to our long-term road test fleet. Our editors spent a year driving Volkswagen's biggest SUV, racking up more than 20,000 miles. Check out our VW Atlas long-term test coverage to read more about what we learned, from real-world fuel economy to reliability. Note that while the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas differs slightly from our long-term 2018 model, nearly all of our observations still apply.
Our verdict | |
We like the VW Atlas' big interior, smooth ride and attractive styling. It's a great vehicle for family road trips. Neither the standard four-cylinder or optional six-cylinder has the power to get this big SUV moving with any real authority, but on the whole the Atlas is a compelling contender among three-row family SUVs. | |
How does the Atlas drive? | |
Power is one of the Atlas' few weak points. Our test Atlas had the V6. Though punchy at lower speeds, it quickly runs out of steam on the highway. And that's with just a driver on board — the Atlas is likely to feel bogged down when loaded with passengers and cargo. Its 0-60 mph sprint of 8.5 seconds is roughly a second slower than class average. Otherwise, the Atlas is a decent performer. The brake feel is natural and easy to predict, and the steering is surprisingly precise. The eight-speed automatic transmission is well tuned and shifts quickly and smoothly. The Atlas also delivers admirable grip in tight corners, though the considerable body roll means you'll probably give up before the Atlas does. The automatic engine stop-start feature is a little wonky. It'll often turn off the engine at a stoplight, only to fire it up again two seconds later with no provocation. | |
How comfortable is the Atlas? | |
An SUV in this class has to be comfortable, and the Atlas abides. The cushy ride strikes a deft balance between comfort and on-road feel, soaking up bumps easily but without the floaty feeling you notice in some rivals. The front seats are quite nice, with long seat bottoms perfect for long-legged drivers. The second-row seats are a little too flat, and the tall headrests hit third-row passengers in the upper back. Outside noise is subdued. You'll hear the engine when you mash the gas, but it's a pleasing sonorous snarl. Every Atlas except the base model comes with tri-zone climate control and heated front seats. A heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and ventilated front seats come on upper trim levels. Vents throughout the cabin ensure passengers in all three rows remain comfortable. | |
How’s the interior? | |
A seriously roomy interior gives the Atlas an edge over rivals. Most in the class have fairly limited third-row room, but the Atlas has enough space for adults in the very back. Climbing into the rear is quite easy, too, because the second-row seats slide and tilt far forward to reveal a sizable entryway. Up front, the driver's seat offers surprisingly few adjustments, but an agreeable position is easy to find thanks to the seat's pleasant shape. The view outward is pretty good all around, and the third-row headrests do not interfere with rear visibility. The interior layout is pleasant, but some buttons are small and VW's steering wheel controls are arranged poorly. And while we like the infotainment system overall, some of its menu logic is hard to decipher. | |
How’s the tech? | |
Our SEL Premium test vehicle came with five USB ports, two 12-volt outlets and a 115-volt household-style outlet. It also had an auxiliary-in port, an SD card slot and even a CD player. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is also included. The available Fender audio system is punchy and doesn't distort at high volumes. We're less fond of the nav system. You often have to specify a city for single-location points of interest, and even then, the system is slow to return a hit. POIs with multiple locations — such as Starbucks — do not show directional information (e.g., straight ahead 1.5 miles). The voice command system only allows address inputs for the nav system, so you can't search on the fly. Driver aids work well overall and are easy to switch on and off. Adaptive cruise maintains tight gaps and doesn't overreact to changing traffic conditions. | |
How’s the storage? | |
The Atlas has 20.6 cubic feet of luggage space behind the third-row seat and a whopping 96.8 cubes with both second and third rows folded — more than any other vehicle in its class other than the Buick Enclave/Chevrolet Traverse twins. The second and third rows aren't power-folding, but they lie completely flat to give the Atlas van-like amounts of storage. In-cabin storage is good too, with lots of places up front and in the third row to stash your stuff. Cubbies are in short supply in the second row, but the doors have lots of pockets. Got small children? Installing child safety seats is straightforward. The Atlas's sizable second row and large door openings aid in loading bulky rear-facing seats. The V6-powered Atlas is rated to tow 5,000 pounds, which is an average amount for this class of SUV. | |
How economical is the Atlas? | |
The V6-powered Atlas with AWD carries an EPA estimate of 18 mpg combined (16 city/22 highway). The combined rating is 2-5 mpg worse than the figure for any of its competitors with a similar engine. As a sliver of good news, we've found that these numbers are at least realistic in real-world driving. | |
Is the Atlas a good value? | |
As with most midsize three-row SUVs, the Atlas starts in the low $30,000s. Our SEL Premium test vehicle was loaded with the V6, all-wheel drive, the R-Line package and second-row captain's chairs. That put it above $50,000, which is a bit pricey. Build quality is solid, but other rivals (such as the Kia Telluride) have higher-quality interiors. Basic and powertrain warranties run for four years/50,000 miles. Most other automakers offer three years/36,000 miles for the basic and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. VW is one of the few to offer complimentary maintenance, good for two services over two years/20,000 miles. | |
Wildcard | |
The Volkswagen Atlas is extremely comfortable and competent, with a relaxed ride that transports up to seven people in supreme comfort. The lethargic powertrain and ponderous handling mean it isn't as fun to drive as a Mazda CX-9 or Honda Pilot, but buyers who don't need corner-carving abilities will find the Atlas pleasant enough. The distinctive styling alone may drive consumers to consider the Atlas if they haven't already been won over by the ample room inside. It's bold but also utilitarian, appealing to both sides of the brain. The handsome R-Line appearance package isn't something we often see in family-oriented SUVs either. | |

Shopped for a month and was going to go with the Highlander. We first tried the 20 Atlas. Before buying the Highlander, we tried the 21 Atlas and went home with it. To us it was better than all of them and much better than the 20 Atlas. The price point was a big item. We were able to get the 21 SEL Premium, in our desires color, for 46k out the door. No one could even come close with the other manufacturers. The space, ride, and better pricing sold it.
Just purchased an Atlas SEL. So far a very smooth ride. We are coming from a 2012 Honda CRV, and the room and storage space is night and day. Captains chairs are a must I feel if using the third row often. Wider and more seating room than Highlander. Quieter and more refined than the Explorer. Many prefer the Palisade and Telluride, but we honestly got better rebates and incentives going with Atlas. We just took a 600 mile road trip and averaged a little bit over 22 mpg. Time will tell on durability and reliability, but so far so good.
Bought a new vw 2 weeks ago. Programmed my address and it loaded but will not take me there. Went back to dealer they checked and said there is nothing they can do. Phone vw canada. I did that talked to customer service ,then asked for supervisor explained. Got nowhere he said to phone software company. The phone number he gave me the company does not manufacture for the Atlas. I emailed and phoned back and no one returns my calls. Further checks found this navigation system is a new platform mlb3 used on Audi i payed $60,000.00 for a defective car
I leased a 2021 Atlas and the blue tooth and voice command stopped working within 4 days of the lease. It’s been over 45 days that the car is sitting in the dealership and yet there is no ETA on the part. I’ve called the customer service and no ine is willing to hello
2021 Volkswagen Atlas video
Read Description
NOTE: This video is about the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, but since the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
Our experts review the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. Edmunds Road Test Manager Jonathan Elfalan takes a thorough look at the all-new 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, the company's largest three-row SUV to date. He covers everything from the Atlas' expansive cabin quarters (all three rows of it) to its available luxury-level technology features to its handling and drivability.
SPEAKER 1: The Acura NSX is a high tech super car that uses hybrid technology to create an exhilarating driving experience. But have you ever wondered what it would be like if it had four doors and the drivetrain was backwards? Well, wonder no more, because this is the 2018 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid. Up front, the RLX receives a new hood. It receives a new front end and new grill that inherits Acura's new styling language, the thing that you're seeing on the MDX and NSX. It retains the Jewel Eye headlights, but it gets new head light pods that include some LED turn signals and LED daytime running lights. You also get this new chin spoiler that ties into the side skirt. You have new 19-inch wheels. Got a hybrid badge, in case you forget you bought a hybrid. And around back you have all-LED tail lights that are a new design with a new rear end look. Now, mechanically this car is related to the NSX, because it takes the electric motors that drive the NSX's front wheels and sticks them in the back to help guide the car through turns. It takes the V6 that the NSX had in its middle, replaces it with seats, and sticks the V6 under the hood where it's assisted by another electric motor and drives the front wheel. The whole thing makes 377 horsepower and returns 28 miles per gallon, which isn't bad. If you are a Japanese car nerd or an '80s and '90s luxury car nerd, you remember the Acura Legend. In the mid '80s, when Acura was still a very new car company, Honda brought the Legend Sedan over. And it was an important car for them, because it both helped define what Acura could be in terms of a luxury car company. It was also the first V6 in a production Honda car. The Legend eventually became the Acura RL, and the Acura RL eventually became this, the Acura RLX, which is actually going to be the Legend in Japan. Over the life of the RL and the RLX, the criticisms levied against this car have remained pretty consistent. It doesn't have a V8. It's not a rear-wheel drive. It's not quite as luxurious feeling or as sporty or as exciting to look at as some of its German competitors. With this refresh, Acura is hoping to address some of those concerns and make this a car that stands up a little better against its European competition. For 2018, Acura updated the interior, making some tweaks to the design and improving some of the material quality. So all the touch points feel pretty premium. It's a quiet interior. These new seats are comfortable. In the Sport Hybrid they're heated and cooled. You get a full suite of driver aids and active safety features. There's a lot of content in this car. The overall design doesn't have quite the same wow factor as the more recently redesigned E-Class or 5 Series. This infotainment system really lags behind the competition. The two-screen setup makes sense in some situations. It's nice to be able to look at your GPS directions and be able to change radio stations or adjust the music or whatever else. But the interface isn't very user friendly. The voice controls don't work super well. And it's just not as fully featured as the offerings from some competitors. So the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid works a little differently from other luxury hybrid cars. You get a V6 engine up front that's coupled with a seven-speed automatic transmission that has an electric motor attached to it to help boost the power from the V6. Where the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive comes in is this car takes the electric motors that in the NSX drive the front wheels, and moves them to the back. So each of the rear wheels in this car has an electric motor that can provide power to it. And that means that when you're going through turns, it really helps push the car around. And for as big and heavy a car as this is, that means that it corners really competently. And I mean it just goes on these twisty roads. So in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid, in normal mode, at low speed, it will actually crawl along just using the electric motors. And in this car, when the gas engine kicks in during normal driving, it's actually pretty smooth. It's pretty unobtrusive. The one place where it's noticeable is if you're at a stop and the car decides that it needs to kick the engine on to charge the batteries. And that's when you sort of feel the engine start up and you hear it running so that the batteries can get juice. The RLX suspension is actually really nice. It absorbs small imperfections in the road really well, and it provides a pretty comfortable ride that I like a lot. It does-- On some road features you get bounce out of it, and that makes it feel a little unsettled. But that doesn't actually affect the performance that much. As much as some of the competitors have more controlled body roll and a ride that feels a little more buttoned down and connected, the RLX, thanks to this Sport Hybrid system, is surprisingly capable. It's really its own sort of fun. I think it's a different fun from the German sedans. It's that feeling of a big comfy sedan that just somehow magically will push itself around a corner faster than you would expect. The RLX's back seat is pretty spacious. There's a lot of leg room here, and I'd say headroom is average for the class. It's what I'd expect. The seat itself is comfortable, and it's heated as well. You get this power rear sunshade and this tricky side-- Yeah, look at that. That's almost as fun as driving the car. Not. The other thing they did for 2018 was they reduced the size of the battery, which means that the trunk has gotten slightly larger. It's still not as practical as a non-hybrid car. The rear seats don't fall down and there's no pass through, so you're definitely giving up a little bit of practicality here. Unlike some of my coworkers, I'm not terribly concerned with the outward appearance of a car. I figure once you're inside driving, you don't have to look at it. So I'll leave that up to you. On the inside, it's comfortable. It's quiet. It's quick. And it's surprisingly capable. It doesn't have quite the wow factor in here that you get from the newest generation of something like an E-Class or 5 Series. And this infotainment system is definitely just behind what's available in the class. The other thing they've done that's smart is they've reduced the cost of the Sport Hybrid trim by $4,000 for 2018. This car comes basically fully equipped, and it undercuts the cost of its competitors pretty significantly. I think that's a smart move for them, and It will make this car a little more competitive on the market. I like this car. It's a kind of fun that I appreciate, and I like the comfort that you get here. The drivetrain is an impressive piece of technology, and it works really well in the real world. But there's no denying that the impression from the inside is that this car is just a little behind the curve when you look at the competitive class. We're looking forward to getting this car back to the office so we can do a full test on it and tell you all about it.

Volkswagen Atlas vs. the competition
Volkswagen Atlas vs. Honda Pilot
The Honda Pilot is one of our favorite midsize three-row SUVs. It isn't as spacious as the Atlas, but the Pilot makes up for it with a premium cabin design and a more dynamic feel from behind the wheel. If you want to learn more about a Pilot of this generation, you can read our long-term road test.
Volkswagen Atlas vs. Kia Telluride
The Kia Telluride was a newcomer last year, but it quickly won us over. Roomy, comfortable and chock full of features, the Telluride offers everything you want in a three-row SUV at a price that undercuts rivals by thousands. With no real faults, it's our top-rated vehicle in its class. If you want to learn more about a Telluride of this generation, you can read our long-term road test.
Volkswagen Atlas vs. Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is the newest member of the Atlas family. The Atlas Cross Sport is essentially a two-row version of the Atlas that has a coupe-like rear roof to give it a sportier appearance. The Atlas Cross Sport's reduced weight makes it feel a little more fun to drive than the standard Atlas, but the two SUVs are otherwise very similar.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
