It’s a best veichle I ever had so roomy and comfortable in highways I Have got 27 in 4 motion which makes it so economical.. so I have no complaints on this beautiful car. Only thing is keep changing the oil every 5000 miles since it is turbo engine
Is this still the case for you? I have a 22 Tiguan and have to put around 4 quarts in my car in between oil changes. I was thinking of going up to the atlas to avoid this.
@@paulshutter Hey bro it’s still the same if you take it on a everyday basis you might get better mileage and also it depends on the quality of oil you put normally if I put Costco gas I don’t get better mileage but if I put like a Citgo gas I used to get better mileage avoid cheap gas and vw has better warranty 4 years and 50000 miles if you wanted to extend it doing it at the time of purchase only if you are keeping the vehicle for long and 3 years of oil changes are free for the atlas and I change my oil 5000 miles I prefer that rather than 10k I already had 2 oil changes so far .. I would say you test drive the car and take a call , but trust me the gear shifting is way better than Tiguan it’s more refined.All the best bro.. Heads up display is worth too if you go with sel
It’s a good ride….super comfortable and quiet. Interior is definitely the nicest out of all the other options…VW does a great job. Is the infotainment system annoying, a little, but you get used to it quick. Also, as a bigger guy (6 foot 3) the front and middle row has plenty of room which is not the case on some of the others. Finally, you can get these at a discount whereas the highlanders are a waiting game for more favorable trims and you will pay MSRP plus markups.
Numbers are truly irrelevant sometimes. I’m 6’5” and I can comfortably sit behind my own driving position in an atlas. I don’t fit in either the front or back or a Highlander comfortably, and definitely not behind myself. The atlas has better rear seat room for tall people than every single suv on the market, and I’ve done this exact test on almost every current offering since I just car shopped recently. It even beats out full size body on frame models like the sequoia, the Tahoe, the expedition. The only vehicle on sale with a better back seat, at least from my experience, is the X7
Don't listen to this hater.I have the 2024..It is amazing.If you are a hater stop making videos. My son is 6'6 ft tall and had more than enough room in the 2nd Row and third.Seats can bs adjusted! Stop It Hater!😅😂
It's all fine and Dandy that Toyota has the Hybrid options and the GH is a beautiful truck as well BUT where I am in Ontario, You just can't get one! the Hybrid is a 2 year wait and the gas is 2-8months depending on colour choice and how far down the list you are already. I went to buy a GH and was told most likely an 8 months wait at least for the Storm cloud or White.
I had an Ascent and replaced it with an Atlas (24 SE). The Atlas is better in every way with the exception of the lack of auto high beams for whatever reason.
I couldn’t agree more. I had a 2019 Atlas which was a great car. The salesman at the dealership we bought all our VW’s at convinced me to trade my 2019 in for a 2024 model. The issues I have had with this car from electrical to mechanical including the rear view mirror assemble falling down while driving have been a nightmare. The dealership (Waterloo VW) provided me with nothing but lip service. I got so fed up, at 10,000 KM’s I traded this albatross in for a new 2024 Lexus RX 350. Most frustrating vehicle I have ever owned.
My wife and I have a Volkswagen atlas. We hit a deer in May and now it is January of the next year and the parts are not being manufactured. Buying a Volkswagen is very risky since the company is not making parts for the cars very expensive paying a car payment and buying another car that we can drive Volkswagen is a joke. Don’t be tracked.
have you really ridden in the back seat of the other 3rd rows? there is the same space if not less. IF there happens to have more room it sacrifices the storage that the Atlas has with the 3rd row up. its just a trade off that you can call positive or negative depending on what you want more. honestly you see Downshift here with enough headroom and enough knee room for a ride....its not the front seat but its just fine for what it is
this is about only review that says Atlas is not the largest of the non Large suv for third row . Atlas even sometimes gets included in comparison with the large ones..
This was not designed for the US alone. That is a false statement. This thing is sold in Canada and Mexico (Part of North America) and Latin America (Marketed and sold as the VW Teramont). Also sold in China. In fact the Atlas was originally conceived and manufactured in China. So if anything the Atlas is a 100% Chinese VW.
I usually set my HVAC to AUTO and unless the system is CRAP AUTO should work just fine 95% of the time. If you need BIGGER then you need a Tahoe/Yukon or Suburban/Expedition.

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Thoughts on the Atlas?
Great car, they need to make a complete redesign to help it stack up to the Grand Highlander

This is a great deal. Think this is by far best looking in class
it is handsome💯
@@dwnshft this was sel trim? We are looking for a 3 row suv but don’t really wanna break the bank
@@dnice362 this was SEL yes, but the SE gets a lot of standard stuff

Thats crazy I felt there was tons of room and Most reviews I watched said its bigger then competitors. Way more leg room
I got the 2024 has a lot of room.Guy just don't seem to even like the truck..What a hater! Truck is amazing!❤❤❤❤

What's your thoughts on the non leather material? Does it hold up?
I had this synthetic leather on a 2009 Jetta Sportwagen and it was perfect throughout the time I had it. Got rid of it in 2016.
TSI engine is reliable ？or easier to get problem comparing to regular one?

Hybrids are great until you have to do the $15,000 dollar battery replacement after 100k miles.
What do you think ...Atlas vs the Subby Ascent?
I had an Ascent and replaced it with an Atlas (24 SE). The Atlas is better in every way with the exception of the lack of auto high beams for whatever reason.
Good video 🤙🏻
I think suv's are getting too big so I appreciate manufacturers that are not fighting for who has the biggest vehicle.

No hybrid. That can be a selling point.
No electric? Even better lol

I'm sure you have some great info there, but your grammar is so poor, I don't have a clue what it is.

Damn touchscreens. When, oh when, will they stop marketing the need to drive a laptop?
What about you tube , car play
Lights are horrible IMo
Better than Toyota lights from the last century 👌🏻

MK2 Amarok is basically a rebadged Ford Ranger pickup😂
Just a whiny individual
Give me a real German made VW SUV instead: Touareg
Steering wheel is not even electric still boring and annoying manual
Poor VW 😭☠️
Yeah unfortunate day for the Atlas, but came down to an inspection that hadn’t been done just yet since the car just made it to the dealer
Cry baby
this car is a pig
