From its muscular exterior to its standard turbocharged engine, there’s a lot to love about the brand-new VW Atlas. But besides its bold good looks and responsive powertrain, the Volkswagen Atlas is crafted to enhance your everyday commute with its roomy cabin, high-tech amenities and available active safety features. Here’s everything that Atlas offers to turn up the fun on every drive.
Well-Appointed Interior
Branded as a family SUV, the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas offers three rows of seating. That means you can seat up to seven passengers comfortably or reconfigure the second- and third-row seats to take full advantage of the 96.8 cu. ft. of cargo space. For your driving comfort, Atlas features diamond-quilted-design cloth seating surfaces and a multi-function steering wheel. And if you opt for the available Climatronic 3-zone automatic climate control, you can set your very own temperature preferences separate from your passengers’.
Non-Stop Entertainment
You supply the road map, and the 2018 VW Atlas will bring the tunes. Provided as a standard feature, Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect lets you harness the power of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Easily view and interact with your favorite apps on the 6.5-inch color touchscreen when you connect a compatible device. Want to put a little more boom in your drive? Seek out the optional 480-watt Fender Premium Audio System for concert-quality sound.
Peace of Mind
Get a second set of eyes to watch the road with the VW Atlas’s nine available driver assistance features. For instance, when driving along the highway, the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps you maintain a set distance from the car in front of you. Backing out of a parking spot? The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas can help with that, too. Opt for the available Rear Traffic Alert, which alerts you to vehicles approaching your path while in reverse and can even brake to help prevent a potential collision.

From the bustling streets of New York’s concrete jungle to the captivating wildness of Yellowstone National Park to the seaside splendors of Cannon Beach, there’s nothing quite like packing into a vehicle and hitting the open road.

For the Cross-Country Traveler
You just got gas in Randolph, NJ. Next stop? San Francisco, California. If you’re an avid explorer who plans to put some major miles on your odometer, you need a car that can go the distance. For the cross-country traveler, we recommend the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. Completely redesigned for the 2019 model year, Jetta offers an EPA-estimated 30 city mpg and 40 highway mpg. That means you can go farther for less.
For the Family Vacationer
Between your life partner and five kiddos, you don’t just want a family vehicle – you need one. For the family vacationer, we recommended the brand-new 2018 Volkswagen Atlas. This midsize SUV offers three comfortable rows of seating with enough room to fit three child seats in the second row. There are 17 cupholders for all your family’s sippy cups, bottles and snacks, and you can opt for the panoramic sunroof, so even the third-row passengers can spend time looking at the skies.
For the Off-Road AdventurerÂ
Known for its punchy, thrilling performance, the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan is an excellent choice for the off-road adventurer. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the standard 184-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 221 lb.-ft. of torque to tackle any off-road terrain. Make sure to pick a trim with the available 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, which features Off-Road Mode to maintain traction and stability on challenging road surfaces, like mud, sand and water. It also comes with an Off-Road Custom Mode, allowing you to tailor steering and other options to your own preferences.

During the event, immersive visual experiences – provided by the Betta Lab art spaces and an arcade of retro games – captured Jetta’s vibrant and fun-to-drive nature. Many of the experiences were inspired by the 2019 Jetta’s turbo engine, available 10-color ambient lighting and available BeatsAudio sound system. Performances from local musicians, including City of the Sun and Oak & Ash, were sponsored by Beats by Dr. Dre, Red Bull Records and SiriusXM, providing a lively backdrop as our team learned all about the new Jetta.
About the 2019 Jetta
Now in its seventh generation, the VW Jetta has been completely redesigned from the ground up for the 2019 model year. It’s the first Volkswagen available with BeatsAudio, and it’s sportier and more driver-focused than ever before. Mood lighting for every journey is provided by the available 10-color interior ambient lighting, while App-Connect keeps music, contacts and apps at the ready by letting you connect your compatible smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. For invigorating, yet fuel-efficient, performance, Jetta comes standard with a turbocharged engine that offers an EPA-estimated 40 mpg highway with the manual transmission.
