Sorry but the VR6 would last you longer hauling an SUV this size. Have fun while warranty lasts, but all car companies are switching to smaller engines putting small turbos to compensate the power, but in long terms these small engines can’t hold up. That’s why you see lots of older trucks that are V8’s and are driven up going to +300K miles. The bigger the cylinder the longer it can last, but of course it’s all about maintenance and care. But as long as you are happy that’s all that matters. I wish there is an option for a bigger engine because this new Atlas really looks good inside!

Overall this is a solid review and I love that you included a car seat, but it’s not installed correctly! Infant seats are rear facing, so the baby’s head/car seat canopy should be facing the front passenger seat, not pointed towards the rear (16:11)

Not at all. The NEW tech brought it up well above expectations. In the mid size NON luxury I think Mazda wins on most premium materials inside for sure BUT VW did very well on this. The room in this truck I would buy it. I wish they offered a turbo inline 6 as an option though. But it seems it has a price advantage over the CX90 so at the right price it is worth it

I like this review and the reviewer - fair, objective and not overly emotionally triggered because this beautiful vehicle doesnt have knobs. KNOBS ARE DISAPPEARING ON MOST ALL MANUFACTURER MODELS AND MOST ALL MID SIZED SUVS ARE GOING TO TURBO 4 ENGINES! So many of these reviewers overreact and lose their shyte just because it has no knobs and they trash the whole vehicle - this guy does great and making the point, suggesting that most users will adjust AND MOVING ON with the review. Hats off to the groundedness of your review decorum, sir! Love the drive thru test and the slap shot go-no go final analysis!😊

According to VW.ca a base Cross Sport comes with hill hold and decent control, front autonomous emergency braking, and the top model gets the 360 camera and park assist. I wasn't able to try it but their website says: "Not only is Park Assist† designed to tell you when you’re passing a large enough parking space, it can also steer your vehicle into it. Just operate the clutch, accelerator, and brake and Park Assist is designed to do the rest".

I'm not surprised to see they ditched the V6, even Toyota has gone to 4 cylinder turbos in their larger vehicles like the Highlander. I do wish they would have reconsidered their decisions for the infotainment though; I've never used the new VW system but I find the lack of physical buttons frustrating. Honda tried that when they first launched HondaLink in 2014, were crucified for it and have since corrected course and brought out one of the best systems on the market. VW has received similar criticism since the MK8 Golf launched but they seem to be committed to pushing the touch capacitive system.

At least they have gone away from touch capacitive controls on the steering wheel. I understand that they are also beginning to backlight the slider controls. For me (and I own a 2024 Cross Sport) that takes care of the major flaws to the recent VW control issues.

VW in their infinite wisdom decided to remove physical knobs which is laughable. The user interface is horrendous. A great way to distract the driver from keeping their eyes on the road.

It’s just that when people make ignorant comments that don’t accurately describe characteristics of the vehicle in question, I assume that they haven’t actually had firsthand experience with the vehicle. There is nothing “wheezing” about the 4 cylinder engine. It’s virtually the same engine found in the Audi Q5 and the base Audi Q7, only with a few more horsepower. The VW group corporate 4 cylinder actually is a pretty decent engine.

I have a 2021 Atlas. We love it, but for one thing the technology is sh!t. The space is amazing. Third row amazing space. My brother-in-law has a suburban. That third row is garbage compared to the VW. The handling is amazing. The VR6 motor is nice, but the transmission has a distinct lag. But for the darn info system, it is what vexes me. I hate it so much. I hate the digital display. I hate the non tactile digital controls. I hate that I can't shut off the traction control. I hate that darn engine shut off at lights(very dangerous when attempting to merge in stop and go traffic). Why can't I buy a vehicle without all these so-called options. We are selling our Atlas because of these issues and we will be buying an older Toyota or Lexus.
