For the adventurous Tallahassee families who need to bring everything along for the journey, roof rails come standard on every model - though they differ in color, and a panoramic sunroof, standard on the SEL and above, is perfect for stargazing on road trips from the comfort of your spacious cabin.

Speaking of the cabin, the 2023 VW Atlas has plenty of room for families and all their gear, with a straightforward control layout that makes driving a breeze.

A Modern Digital Cockpit With an Impressive List of Tech Features

When it comes to user-oriented technology and connectivity options, the 2023 VW Atlas SUV is all about staying connected and keeping you entertained on the road, thanks to a touchscreen interface that is as intuitive as it is responsive - so you can navigate like a pro without any distractions.

The base SE trim comes with a standard 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™capability, a six-speaker audio system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and two USB ports. But for those who want a little extra, the SE with Technology package takes things up a notch with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes all the features of the base trims with three USB ports in the back, a subscription-based SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and a wireless phone charging pad to keep your devices juiced up.

For true audiophiles in the entire Leon County area, you can upgrade to the top-tier SEL Premium to enjoy the 12-speaker Fender sound system and take your listening experience to the next level.

Refined Performance For Every Journey

With the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas, there’s enough power to go around, thanks to its two potent engine options!

The base trims are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that dishes out 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and if you're looking for a little extra oomph, the higher trims offer a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6 engine that cranks out 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Either way, you'll get an eight-speed automatic transmission and your choice of front- or available all-wheel drive. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and can be had with either standard front- or available all-wheel drive.

While the four-cylinder is no slouch, the refined V6 engine is a real standout, as it responds obediently to steering inputs and handles brilliantly without feeling clumsy, making it a joy to drive whether you're cruising down the highway or zipping through the city.

What’s more, when properly equipped, the new Volkswagen Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the V6 engine, so you can haul your heavy loads without breaking a sweat.

A Practical SUV That Doesn't Skimp on Safety

The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas doesn't mess around when it comes to safety, with a comprehensive suite of features to keep you and your passengers secure. Standard safety features include stability and traction control, ABS, and six airbags, including front, side, and curtain airbags.

What’s more, with advanced driver-assist technologies, including a blind spot monitoring system, rain-sensing wipers, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, the new Atlas has got your back in even the trickiest of driving situations.

The SE w/ Technology adds front and rear parking sensors and adaptive cruise control, while the top-of-the-line SEL Premium offers a parking assistant and a surround-view camera to make even the tightest parking spots a breeze.
