The Atlas, midsize SUV with 7 seats, represents the American dream for the German constructor Volkswagen. This company that was suffering to maintain its reputation in the automotive industry due to the recent Dieselgate affair.
The new SUV is sure to impress with its sheer size, built around the MQB platform and announcing 5.03 m (198.3 inches) in length, 1.97 m in width and 1.76 m in length, making the Atlas slightly bigger than the Touareg.
Mechanically speaking, the Atlas will come with two powertrains, a 2.0-liter TSI four cylinder gasoline engine, producing 238 horsepower, and a bigger 3.6-liter VR6 with 280 horsepower. The 2.0-liter TSI will come with a choice of 2WD or 4WD, while the VR6 is only available with 4WD.
The Atlas will be built in the Chattanooga assembly plant in Tennessee starting mid 2017, before being introduced to the Middle East and Russia at a later time.
