The Atlas offers a class-leading body size, ample space, powerful driving performance, and advanced features, making it a popular choice among SUVs in the United States.
The Atlas is equipped with a powerful yet efficient gasoline engine and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, ensuring stable performance in various driving conditions. The 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged TSI engine delivers an impressive 273 horsepower and a maximum torque of 37.7 kg·m.
The powerful yet efficient powertrain, combined with the Atlas's drag coefficient of 0.33, achieves a respectable fuel economy of 8.5 km/L combined, 7.6 km/L in the city, and 10.1 km/L on the highway. The Atlas also offers benefits like reduced vehicle tax due to its compact engine displacement despite its class-leading body size. The new Atlas features a trailer hitch standard at the lower body, enabling convenient towing for outdoor and recreational activities. Without needing separate structural modifications, it can tow trailers and caravans with a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds (approximately 2,268 kg).
Volkswagen introduced the new Atlas with a single trim, the 2.0 TSI 4MOTION, priced at 67,701,000 KRW (approximately 51,000 USD) for the R-Line 7-seater and 68,486,000 KRW (approximately 51,800 USD) for the R-Line 6-seater. These prices are based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax.
