I am in love with our new 2024 Atlas R-Line. It's plenty quick enough for a large SUV, especially in sport mode, and everything just feels solid, refined, comfortable and perfect. There's a lot of tech in this car but after a few days of playing around with everything it's pretty simple to learn and operate. I also love how customizable it is as far as the interior displays and behind the wheel. It's also a gorgeous car to look at. Highly recommend!

I test drove 2024 and 2025 model years of the VW Atlas, the Honda Pilot, the Subaru Ascent, and the Chevy Traverse. All of the vehicles had all wheel drive, similar EPA fuel ratings, and similar options. I ended up purchasing the Volkswagen Atlas SE with Technology. In my opinion the Volkswagen Atlas had the most room and the smoothest, quietest ride. For me it was also the best value for my money with options I required like a roof rack and a tow package. I had it on a 200 mile road trip and averaged just over 29 mph gallon on the highway using regular gas. Around town I average just about 20 miles per gallon. The 2 liter turbocharged engine has plenty of get up and go when it's needed. Some people complain about all the controls for things like heat, air conditioning, and radio all being part of the infotainment system, but it doesn't take long to figure out how to use it and there are shortcut buttons on the panel that take you right to those functions. Volkswagen also has a voice activation system that allows you to control all those functions hands-free. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and believe I made the right choice.

I will start with my pros… it is very roomy. I was set on getting second row captains and I was able to find that. I am able to load my paddleboard on top. Acceleration is decent for a large 4 cylinder. Infotainment system is easy. Changing the colors on the dashboard is a fun feature. Cons: I purchased new and have had vehicle less than a year. It has been in the shop 3xs and will be back for a 4th time soon. Brought first time because the vehicle was squeaking when we got in and out of it. Sounded like an old rust bucket. They said this was a loose heat shield and is a known issue to the Atlas. They tightened, chained oil and rotated tires. After this visit, the squeaking continued but now from rear wheel area along with a new clicking sound. I returned. They tightened the heat shield again and said clicking was loose license plate. On the way home from this appointment, both noises were still present. I immediately went back. They said they tightened heat shield again and could not find anything else. Upon picking vehicle up 4 days later, the noise was still there. The squeaking is not the heat shield. It is the suspension and I have a 4th appointment scheduled. Another known issue of the Atlas is that the infotainment screen gets scrambled/has lines all through it making it impossible to read and impossible to see backup camera clearly. This happens several times a week. There is not a fix for this “known issue” except restarting the screen. This makes me nervous for the longevity of system. What will happen when my warranty runs out and it stops working?! My last complaint about the atlas are the seats. They are extremely hard and become painful after about 3 hours. Even my 14 year old told me he feels like an old man after riding for long periods. (I wish I could upload photos and videos here for the readers).

This is my third Atlas, previous 2019 Sel. 2022 Cross sport 2022. Now 2024 Rline. The vehicle rides nice. I do miss the 6 cylinder. Of the Cross sport Rline. Yet this 2024, is sexy.

The vehicle performs quite well and is very easy to drive. (excellent handling) It's an exceptionally spacious SUV with more sufficient power from this proven Volkswagen 4 Cylinder turbo motor updated for the Atlas. The European styling is very much appreciated and quite pleasing on the eye inside and out. Once you familiarize yourself with all the technologies, you are able to take full advantage of all the great features.
