vws-atlas-gets-a-complete-redesign-for-2027

The Atlas is the largest SUV offered by German automaker Volkswagen in North America. Eager to maintain this advantage, Volkswagen has decided to thoroughly redesign it for this market, with a completely new body and updated mechanical components.

Under the hood, it now features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 282 horsepower — 13 more than the previous version — but delivering slightly less torque at 258 lb-ft, a decrease of 15 lb-ft.

Naturally, an eight-speed automatic transmission remains standard, with a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

When it reaches the market, this Atlas will be offered as a 2027 model.
