Elevated interior and standard features
The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas aims to redefine its position in the segment by offering a more upscale cabin experience. Even the entry-level SE variant now comes equipped with genuine wood trim, leatherette seating with 12-way power adjustment for the driver, and heated and ventilated front seats.
