My wife just got one of these... but with V6 and the giant sunroof. Oh and we ended up getting the captains seats in the second row. Everyone loves it so far.
Thank you so much for your expertise! You have explained more than the salesman did, you know more than him too. This model isn't much different from my R-Line, you definitely taught me some new tips!
If you choose the bigger wheels then you likely will get more road feel in the cabin. It may improve the handling feel of the vehicle as well. However, if you get a smaller wheel and a bigger tire then you may not get as much road feel in the cabin and reduce the handling feel of the car as well. Though thicker tires help with the comfort, because there is more of a sidewall which helps absorb the bumps and stuff. If you have a big wheel then there isn’t much tire sidewall to absorb the bumps so you get a rougher ride.
Big negatives that I see: For $44K there’s no fog lights up front? And for a 2.0-Turbo that is crappy mileage rating (and again, for $44K it should be a 6-cyl at that price). Yes it it roomy, but a Honda Pilot a larger under-floor cargo hold and it comes with a standard sunroof at a lower price (a pano-sunroof comes on the top tow trims). And you didn’t mention it, does the Atlas SE come with all the safety features? Blind spot land assist? Collision avoidance braking? Etc??? But I do like your video. - DO one for Honda pIlot and the other comparable 2023 SUVs!
Hey there, thanks for the comment. I did do a video on the Honda pilot EX-L a month ago. I hope you’ll check it out. Though when I did the video with the Atlas, the pilot wasn’t available at the dealers so I didn’t exactly know what would be comparable. Also the pilot unfortunately doesn’t come standard with the sunroof. The EX-L AWD that I reviewed didn’t have it. The Atlas does have safety features, I believe I mentioned them when I showed the safety controls on the steering wheel. I have also done videos on the Highlander, Telluride, and Jeep Grand Cherokee too. I hope you’ll check them out.
@@automaticYT I will check out your Pilot video . And yes you are correct about the sunroof. My 2020 EXL does have a standard sunroof so I assumed the new ones did as well. Strange because all trim levels of the 2023 CRV do have sunroofs! I was told by a Honda dealer that certain features, because of supply, may not be on all trim levels. An example just a couple of weeks ago at my local dealer in Orange County, CA showed me two CRVs, the same trim (Hybrid Sport) yes one had the blind-spot mitigation but the other didn’t - one came in a few weeks before the other - same MSRP.
Awesome overview man. Most detailed I have seen online. I have a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas since 2017, and didn't even know those key fob tricks.

I didn’t know the key fob trick- sure enough it works on my Tiguan thanks man!
Hey Great video - I wish you did more videos. Probably most concise and detailed review of a vehicle ever. Your channel is going to rock.
Thank you so much!!! Really appreciate the kind words. :)
Wow i need this car asap 😍

Got ours today, may upgrade to the R trim but my wife is really enjoying it so far (3 kids fit fine)
Nice 👍
If you have any questions about this Atlas, let me know. I will try my best to answer them.
What would you choose between the 2023 Honda Pilot and the 2023 VW Atlas?
@@kapilmsit I would probably get the Pilot for the 8th seat option and the fact that it is newer - redesign wise.
What’s the price range?
have you seen Dodge durango r/t hemi orange?
Unfortunately not yet.
what are the pros and cons when it comes to deciding different wheel rim and tire sizes
