2019 Volkswagen Atlas V6 SE w/Technology 4MOTION 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

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.

We purchased a used 2019 SEL Premium and have owned it for about 10k miles. I have a unique perspective because we traded in our 2021 Kia Telluride to buy our Atlas. About a year ago, I did tons of research and settled on the Telluride which is the favorite for all the car magazines. We got a white SX brand new and we loved it a lot. It was a fantastic vehicle. Peppy engine, good looks, well-thought out interior. But, after a year and 12k miles, because of the demand for Tellys, we ended up selling it for $10k more than we purchased it new. It seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. We found a 2019 Atlas SEL premium CPO and used the positive equity from the Telluride to greatly reduce our monthly payment. We were sad to see the Telluride leave, but we have grown to love the Atlas. The engine is not as peppy as the Telluride, and many complain about the acceleration with the V6, but I’ve found it surprisingly capable. Accelerating on on ramps is easy and it holds high speeds (80 mph) on the freeway with ease. It’s quieter on the highway than the telluride and feels so smooth. It’s much roomier than the telluride as well. The infotainment isn’t quite as nice as the telluride, but the Atlas is easier to use and the digital display on our SEL premium is nicer than the analog gauges on the Telluride. We average about 18-20 in mixed driving. With the telluride, we were probably about 19-21. So, for a bigger car, it’s not much different. We also like the styling quite a bit with our optional rims that came with it. Overall, we probably liked the Kia Telluride a tiny bit more, but it is very close and the Atlas can be purchased much cheaper than a Telly and it’s actually better on long road trips. So smooth on the interstate and tons of room. We love our Atlas.

I was surprised how roomy this car is. I'm 6'3, 350lbs and have plenty of room. I can actually sit comfortably in the second row with the front seat all the way back. This car has a smooth, quiet ride and plenty of power when needed. Averaging 22mpg in mixed city/hwy driving. SE mid trim level is nice. live in the south so didn't need AWD. impressed so far.

Had to trade in 2018 Toyota Highlander (dream car) -captains second row, due to too many children/car seat needs. Bought the atlas on the spot because it is the only mid sized suv to accommodate 3 RF car seats on the 2nd row bench. Pros: Drive is sporty. Clean look, easy-ish display console. Etc. 2nd row tilts -with car seats attached! With 3rd row in use, above average trunk space. Cons: sensors are (too) sensitive without ability to reduce. VW rim sizing is different than others, by a matter of mills. Finding/activating/controlling air flow in the back of vehicle is cumbersome. Text messages only come through if phone plugged into CarPlay (where Highlander and domestic use Bluetooth) factory command start is completely useless, unless you are touching vehicle. 2nd row tilt, only works if car seats are in FF position** Because it is VW largest vehicle, when in for service/warranty, I have to specify that I need that exact vehicle as loaner, due to car seats. This has posed an issue on more than one occasion.

Do not purchase this vehicle. Too many mechanical issues! The interior and comfort is awesome but not worth having it if your going to be constantly taking it to get repaired! VW is not the way to go! Local dealership Hoy VW does not help neither! They’re quick to sell you a car but do not mention the headaches you are going to have after! Poor management!

The car was just bought, and the driving computer is still adapting to my driving style. I believe that it will be much better to open some time. That is, the fuel tank is small and the other is very satisfied.
