I love this suv. There is more room than I know what to do with. Regularly fit 2 six plus footers in the third row and still have plenty of room for 5 more adults. The tech features are great, even without the technology package. I have not had any problems except having to take it in for the door harness recall. 2 years old and 20k miles. Extremely Happy.

I recieved my 2023 VW Atlas R-Line as a Christmas gift from my mother. I didn't like the Atlas at first since I had my heart set on a Cadillac Escalade. The safety & driver assistance features so far are outstanding, the anti collision and back-up assistance has already saved countless lives. The vehicle stopped when I was backing up saving a young boy who ran behind my Atlas in a shopping mall parking lot. The forward-collision warning had engaged within enough time to prevent me from rear-ending a Honda Civic. I had owned a 2004 VW Passat 4-Motion which was great, but it definitely doesn't compare to the Atlas. This is my first VW SUV and I absolutely love driving it. I feel completely safe in this vehicle. I'm a tall guy since my height is 6'5 the interior has plenty of space even with all my friends, this has become the road trip top pick when we decide to travel out of town.
Nice upgrade on 2018

Volkswagen Nightmare: A Cautionary Memo

My experience with Volkswagen has been incredibly disappointing. I purchased a brand-new vehicle in March 2023, only to encounter repeated malfunctions that kept it in the shop for over 50 days. Despite my attempts to resolve the issues, Volkswagen refused to buy it back, forcing me to trade it in at another dealership. Now, my 2024 model, an Atlas purchased from a different dealership, has been in service from January to June 2024, with its most recent stint starting on May 16th. This continuous cycle of repairs is far from what I expected when purchasing a new vehicle. I've accumulated over 15 service receipts for a car that was only six months old. Based on my own frustrating experience and the similar issues faced by others, I strongly caution against purchasing any Volkswagen vehicle. It has been nothing short of a nightmare.

We bought our 2022 Atlas R Line brand new and it has been an absolute nightmare. The brakes have been a constant issue, screechy and sometimes sounding like there’s an alien living under the hood of my car! This is even after being replaced, which happened after 6 visits and having to fight with them to replace it. The radio just stopped working altogether after only 6 months and had to be completely replaced. Then the head gasket had to be replaced. All under 50,000 miles! Customer service has been an absolute nightmare. One service manager even blamed the bad brakes on my driving skills and the climate. When we went to the dealership to speak to him so he could hear the brakes he called the police! He also told us to just go buy a Lexus. We asked to speak to the GM who was able to handle it. Just stay far far away! I couldn’t regret this purchase more. And I’ve lost so much money as it does not retain its value. Buyer beware.

Second Atlas

This is the second Atlas I’ve owned. The first was a 2019 totaled in an accident (not my fault) and I loved it so much I got another! I’m now in a 2023 Atlas Sel premium R line and I love it as much as the first. I shopped hard, looking at the Mercedes, a BMW, and an Audi. I’m happy with the technology available at this price point on the VW.

Driver's Door Real Bad Wind Noise, had it in, they say it is a faulty door seal, 2 trips to dealer and the noise is better, but still noisy. Infotainment center goes dead, then 2 days later, the Digital Cockpit stopped working, UI have had it for 4 months, 5K kms on it. VW said bring it in and there is a charge, a charge for what, you incompetence. Stay away from VW, buy Toyota or Domestic.

I love the aesthetics of the New Atlas and the interior is well designed and spacious. I did not like the way it drove, it wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped. There was a decent amount of road noise accelerating onto the highway.
