Used 2020 Volkswagen Atlas SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas is offered in seven trim levels: S, SE, SE with Technology, SE with Technology R-Line, SEL, SEL R-Line and SEL Premium. The base S, SE, SE with Technology, and SEL come standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). Those trims are eligible for a 3.6-liter V6 engine (276 hp, 266 lb-ft) that is standard on other versions of the SUV. Front-wheel drive is standard, and V6 models can be ordered with all-wheel drive (standard on the SEL Premium). Every Atlas uses an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Which Atlas trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest checking out the SE with Technology trim in the 2020 VW Atlas lineup. It finds a good balance of price and features, especially when you factor in the standard advanced safety items. On top of that, you can add the optional V6 and all-wheel drive.
