The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas launches a second generation with a ground-up redesign, a more powerful turbocharged engine, and a cabin rebuilt around a 12.9-inch touchscreen. St. Louis families shopping for a three-row SUV now have a stronger case for the Atlas than ever.
The 2027 Atlas is Volkswagen’s flagship three-row SUV, now in its second generation. It seats up to seven passengers, pairs standard front-wheel drive with an available 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, and draws power from an upgraded 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 282 horsepower — a meaningful step up from the previous generation. An eight-speed automatic transmission handles shifting across the lineup.
Inside, VW rebuilt the dashboard around a 12.9-inch touchscreen and a 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Available upgrades include a Harman Kardon audio system, Nappa leather seating with diamond-stitching, genuine wood accents, and a new AI voice assistant that handles navigation, media, and vehicle settings hands-free. The exterior brings a completely new front fascia, a redesigned rear end, and an illuminated VW badge across most trims.
The Atlas was designed for families who need three rows, everyday practicality, and a refined driving experience — without crossing into truck-based SUV territory. For St. Louis households balancing school runs, highway commutes on I-270 and I-55, and weekend trips, the Atlas offers the space and standard technology to make each trip less work.
The seven-passenger default configuration suits larger families, while the second-generation IQ.DRIVE 3.0 driver-assistance suite brings refined lane-keeping, enhanced adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, and improved automatic emergency braking to every commute. Optional 4MOTION AWD gives South County and St. Louis area drivers an added layer of confidence when winter roads demand it.
