2023 Atlas
Volkswagen has released its 2023 Atlas as its most advanced and stylish three-row SUV that’s the most affordable in its class for 2023, which has sparked a wave in the industry. We were eager to see if this new SUV from Volkswagen did offer real value for money, as stated in the news.
Each Atlas is fitted with a 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive system and the most comfortable seating available for up to seven adults. This suspension technology continuously senses upcoming terrain conditions and confidently recalibrates the suspension, which results in the smoothest ride ever. Occupants are left oblivious to crossing over even the most extreme uneven terrain.
You can choose to power your smooth ride with the standard 3.6-litre TSI 2.0 engine (258 lb-ft and 235 hp), offering good fuel efficiency with enough power to haul a maximum weight of up to 907.18kg. For heavier objects of up to 2267.96 kg, the performance-enhanced engine packs a more powerful punch with 266 lb-ft and 276 hp.
Now that we have your attention, let’s continue to explore more about Volkswagen’s largest flagship SUV and what you can expect!
What's New for 2023
In 2023, Volkswagen made many alterations to the Atlas. However, the most exciting upgrades involved the incorporation of the most technologically advanced driver-assistance aids. These systems have been complimented by Volkswagen’s unique Intelligent Suite IQ.DRIVE software. You can look forward to enjoying the smoothest ride over the most difficult terrain with the assistance of Volkswagen’s 4MOTION suspension system.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Volkswagen cares about the safety of its drivers. That’s why the manufacturer has equipped every 2023 model with the Q.DRIVE driver-assistance system. The technology is designed to include various sensors that continually monitor your surroundings while driving. The technology will alert you of an impending collision or apply automatic maneuvers in certain circumstances to avoid or lessen the damage or severity of an impact.
The number of Q.DRIVE features are activated on the trim you purchase. Front Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking is included in the Trendline model. The Comfortline gets additional adaptive cruise control and a lane assistant, and an emergency assistance system.
The Execline includes a host of Q.DRIVE safety technology. Highlights include a 360-degree surround camera, a light assist system, and park distance control with parking assistance. More advanced Q.DRIVE safety technology is available as additional upgrades at an extra cost. The available road sign display system will detect what’s around the corner and warn you to reduce your speed. The rear-traffic alert system will help you avoid those annoying bumps that tend to occur in overcrowded parking lots when you least expect it.
