2019 Volkswagen Atlas Reviewing the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas has left me seriously considering buying one. Because this 7-passenger VW Atlas is big and functional, especially for families. Additionally, it's stylish, delivers great fuel economy and drives great. Now, the Atlas my friends at Ontario Volkswagen gave me to test drive was a top-of-the-line with nearly every option. However, even the base model Atlas deserves serious consideration for any mid-size SUV buyer.

March 4, 2019 2019 VW Atlas Size First, let's address the Atlas's size. Of the two sport utility vehicles that Volkswagen offers, the Tiguan and the Atlas, the Atlas is the biggest. For the most part, the auto industry is referring to the Atlas as a mid-sized SUV. But since all vehicles have gotten bigger the Atlas is arguably a full-sized SUV and the Tiguan a mid-sized. "You can put up to 3 child safety seats in the second row!" The Atlas, as I previously stated is a big 7-passenger vehicle. It has a maximum cargo space of 96.8 cubic feet with both back rows of seats folded down. You can put up to 3 child safety seats in the second row! That's huge! 2019 Atlas 2nd row fits 3 child safety seats! I currently have a mid-sized SUV from a different manufacturer. And if I put my son's safety seat in the middle then there's hardly enough room for my wife (who's small) to fit on either side of him. But in the second row of the Atlas you can have three (3) child safety seats in a row - that's big. And super-handy for a family on the grow. 96.8 cubic ft. of flat-surfaced cargo space with seats down! The 2019 VW Atlas is also highly versatile with the amount of interior space it provides for both people and our stuff. With the second and third row of seats folded down, you are left with a whopping 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space. "With the second and third row of seats folded down, you are left with a whopping 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space." And Volkswagen engineers really made it easy to change the seat/storage configuration. Logically placed, easy to grab levers and straps make it a cinch. VW Atlas Configurations The 2019 VW Atlas that I test drove from Ontario Volkswagen was a V6 SEL Premium w/ 4Motion all-wheel drive. And I have to mention that I loved the color scheme - inside and out! (Pictured throughout this post.) Ontario VW put me in a 2019 Atlas V6 SEL Premium w/ 4Motion But the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas offers many configurations. There's undoubtedly one for every purpose and budget. The configuration options breakdown within three primary trim categories. Those trim categories, along with their starting manufacturers suggested retail prices include the following for the 2019 VW Atlas: S | $30,895 SE | $35,495 SEL | $41,395 Within those three trim options, Volkswagen offers the 2019 Atlas in 13 different standard trim configurations. Packages that help to make up the different trim configurations include: 4Motion all-wheel drive. Technology R-Line Premium The 2019 Atlas comes with two different engines. There's a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, inline 4-cylinder that puts out 235-horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. And there's the 3.6-liter V6 putting out 276-horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. "The V6 will deliver 17-mpg in the city and up to 24-mpg on the highway..." The inline 4-cylinder is only available on the 2019 Atlas S base model,
