2021 VW Atlas seats seven and has a long list of available features. The on-board Wi-FI hotspot will accommodate up to four devices. When properly equipped, the new Atlas can tow up to 5,000 lbs.

Volkswagen unveiled the face-lifted 2021 Atlas SUV at the Chicago Auto Show this week. The refreshed seven-seater presents a number of interior upgrades, advanced technologies, and new driver-assistance features. And now both the V6 and four-cylinder engines are available with 4Motion all-wheel drive.

What Is The 2021 VW Atlas"

A little while back, I wrote about the VW Atlas Cross Sport. The SUV we have here is essentially the “normal” version of that. It has no leaning towards sportiness (other than what they could squeeze out of the drivetrain), and is all about everyday practicality. The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is what it is: big, boxy, but very user friendly.
Under all that sheet metal, the Atlas is largely the same as the outgoing model, but thanks to new front and rear bumper designs, it’s nearly three inches longer for 2021. It also gets the same grille and headlights as the Atlas Cross Sport as well as standard LED lighting. Opting for the R-line trim will get you unique bumpers, side skirts, and big 20- or 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels along with signature R-line badging.
