2018 Volkswagen Atlas Las Vegas NV

When you look at an atlas, you get to see all the places you can travel on this beautiful planet of ours. When you look at the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas in Las Vegas NV, you get to see a vehicle that can help take you there. Volkswagen has been pushing for more emphasis on its SUV lineup recently, and this brand-new, three-row SUV that was specifically made for American drivers is its latest endeavor.

Families in the United States are known for their knack at finding adventures in the Great Outdoors, not to mention having pretty hectic everyday lives. The Atlas offers seating for as many as seven passengers, and if you do not need that much seating, you can customize the second row to have two captain’s chairs with space in between them for easier access to the third row. Let’s explore.

Design

The Atlas offers a bold look you can be proud to see in your driveway. Crisp lines and clean angles give it a muscular look, while such features as the available panoramic sunroof give passengers amazing views on every trip.

Engines

The Atlas offers two engines. The 2.0-liter turbo engine, available later, produces 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. The 3.6-liter V6 engine option doles out 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel.

Towing

Families heading off to make new memories during their vacations might not be able to fit everything inside the Atlas, although it does offer up to 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Thankfully, it can also tow up to 5,000 pounds with the V6 engine.
