Volkswagen Atlas
The new three-row midsize SUV from Volkswagen has already won over many families with generous interior space and versatility (up to 2700 litres of cargo room). A turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 235 horsepower comes standard, while the optional V6 produces 276 horsepower and can tow up to 5000 pounds. The available AWD system includes a drive mode selector. Months ago, a sportier-looking, five-passenger Atlas Cross Sport was introduced, but when will we see it here?
