I bought this car used with ~40,000 miles on it. Loved it at first. Big, roomy, sporty (I have the AWD R Line), comfortable for long trips. However, I have owned it for 10 months now, and have been at the garage (thank heavens it is still under warranty) 6 times. 7 recalls, three warranty repairs. The car had an issue the data after I bought it that caused it to leak coolant slowly enough that I had to refill it every three weeks. Random errors when driving such as the ACC not being able to work, Lane Assist won't work, Radio has glitches issues. It is an electrical nightmare. Master switch had to be replaced and took over a month to get the part in so it wouldn't come out of sport mode in the middle of winter. Such a shame. This is a beautiful car, nice ride, but complete crap.

Comfortable, good looking car, cruise control Rocks. The car is perferct, but I will love more horsepower on this giant. There is a noise that i just found out what it was in other reviews, with the window up you don't hear it much but window down and up a hill is noticeable. The noise comes from the torque converter, is a grinding noise. You only hear it for 2 seconds on low gears. Besides this the SUV is awesome, from North Bergen, New Jersey.

It’s capable as minivan, but solid and safe as SUV. As you like or not gas milage its not bad if you have a v6 as 3.6 liters, you just have to get a soft acceleration and wouldn’t be different problem if you drive an electric car. Space is impressive capable almost like a suburban but its not that expensive V8. Safety seems to do well if you look the test I hope don’t have to deal with it but all the time the warning and break assistance save me from distractions or blind spots like reverse manuver Stop the car completely to avoid a collision. Suspension would be my only concern, as the only way to manage it, is from a car shop. If to soft will make not good drive in freeway and if too tight will effect city comfort drive.... I guess thats y the other suv lux have airsodt options where trow away all the budget thing! Hopefully they will get better. Only regret I ddnt get 4 motion would more be stable acceleration and better wearing of tires where must rotate every 5k. Front speaning very easy if you are in the rush. If you are in the budget I would suggest se v6 4 motion. Fake leather seats very fragile.

Atlas SE w/technology is a great all around SUV, however its hitch with a lift for a mobility scooter is incompatible with adaptive cruise control(ACC). even just the lift installed throws the front sensor out of the range it can be adjusted. IMO it would probly do the same trailering a boat etc. or even with a heavy load in the trunk. The ACC cannot be disengaged to allow regular cruise control. I wish I had leased an SE w/o technology

We bought a new 2019 Atlas in August. It needed a new catalytic converter at 1400 miles. It’s in the shop now (December) for the THIRD time with a check engine light. VW will text me, but then claim they don’t have my phone number to call me.

CONS: Memory seat automatic recall opposite from driver needs. Electronic dashboard is non-intuitive and poorly organized Surround camera misses the mark in terms of auto-activation Voice activated functionality is amateurish at best Owner's Manual is completely useless, videos misleading Sharp edges on doors can be painful Mileage ratings are "optimistic" at best Car-Net app functionality lacking PROS: Great size/value for families Wonderful highway manners Convenient Adaptive Cruise Control Fabulous auto up/down window operations Incredible panoramic moonroof operation

I bought mine brand new on July 29, 2019 (6 miles on the odometer). I'm a pretty aggressive driver and so far the only issue I've had was within the first two weeks, one of the plastic fender guards(?) started coming off and later there was a recall within the first year (I believe it was electronics based). I took it into the dealer both times and since then no issues whatsoever. The car review sites that keep saying the acceleration is lacking actually surprise me. I mean being an aggressive driver of course I would love more power, but it is more than adequate for what the average person needs. I literally spent 18 months looking for what I found in the Atlas. I test drove the following vehicles before picking the Atlas... Kia Sorrento Kia Telluride Honda Pilot Acura MDX Lexus GX470 Infiniti QX60 Infiniti QX80 BMW X5 Mercedes GLE 450 Audi Q7 Volkswagen Atlas I have to say I was incredibly disappointed in the Japanese vehicles because I had Honda and Mitsubishi vehicles in the past and they were very fun to drive. This time around the German cars stood out above the rest. The X5 didn't have a 3rd row option and while the X7 had come out right before I got the Atlas I couldn't spend $100K on a vehicle. The Atlas was/is definitely the best bang for the buck. If you want a German vehicle without spending a ton get the Atlas. Though I've never owned a BMW (my father has owned multiple), I have driven many (my father's and rentals) and the Audi Q7 was a rental I drove for a week. From that experience, I can tell you that the Volkswagen Atlas has the distinct German "drive". This is especially the case when you floor it to get it up to speed. To me that really is what makes the German vehicles stand out. When you floor it they hunker down and seem to stabilize even more (as opposed to floating).

2019 Atlas SE with 4 cylinder motor. I'm 6-4, and love all the driver room. I'm getting around 28 mpg in mixed driving. Don't plan or need to tow. Car is tight, rides smooth, plenty of room, the cargo space fits my golf bag perfectly. This is my fourth VW, and have never had reliability issues(98 Passat, 08 GTI, currently a 2014 Passat and the Atlas). Love the simple cockpit layout, easy to operate controls. 6 year, 72k warranty the cherry on top. Would definitely buy again. Update: No problems, vehicle doing great.

We looked at quite a few domestic and import 7 passenger vehicles before deciding on the VW Atlas SE 4Motion w/technology. I guess what swayed us was what you got for the money. Not only is the Atlas one of the few that isn't all rounded off everywhere and has a rugged appearance, but it's interior is laid out nice even slightly sparse which isn't a bad thing. But the interior is spacious, lots of storage, and did I mention17 cup holders, the seats are comfortable and supportive. Ours has the optional 2nd row captains seats which is nice and they move forward and back to give ample room for passengers. The third row seating is comfortable even for a 6ft plus person without feeling your knees are at your chin as with some vehicles. The electronics are good, both in sound and function. Ours has the optional CD player in the glovebox and has the SD card reader to give you the ability to see pictures on the dash screen as well as load lots of music. The Apple Car Play and Android Play work well. VW claims on the V6 23mpg but on my trip last week I got 27mpg going down and 26.2mpg coming back with a loaded interior and my reese receiver rack on back loaded. It handles well and is not the most powerful engine but I'm ok with it's power. I didn't buy it to race anyone. Fit and finish is nice. And it's built in Chattanooga TN (German engine and Japanese Transmission). Hopefully it will serve us well, as we loved our Passat we had and are aware of the quirkiness of VW electronics which all companies seem to have. We highly recommend the Atlas. Ok it 22.5k now and still running great. Averaging 26.5 mpg hwy. 22.5 mpg overall.

I purchased this vehicle in Jan. 2020 and have had it for 7 months. I really like the smooth ride, spacious interior and tech features. It is wonderful to be able to place all of my groceries trunk space with the third row up. The design of the Atlas is also a plus because it doesn’t look like it has so much room. The gas mileage is not great. But with prices low, I am able to fill the tank for around $27.00! I can’t wait until we can travel again and really enjoy all that this vehicle has to offer. It you are wondering, give it a test drive. You won’t be disappointed.
