Review and specifications

2027 Volkswagen Atlas

The redesigned 2027 Atlas still comes with just one powertrain, a 282-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel drive are available. While the exterior looks familiar, with dual LED headlights running the width of the nose being the biggest change, the interior has undergone a more radical update. The slim, rectangular dashboard is dominated by a free-floating center display. The base model gets a 12.9-inch screen while all other trims get a 15-inch one. All models have a 10-inch digital gauge cluster. Seating for seven is standard, and the optional captain’s chairs cut that to six. The hands-on active driving assistance system is capable of performing lane changes. A hybrid version is planned, but won’t arrive until the midcycle refresh.
