For more information about the Atlas's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS) websites. The Atlas comes with a bevy of standard and optional driver-assistance technology.

2021 ATLAS HOW TO

How to Repair, Maintain, and Care for Your Car.

In our luggage testing, the Atlas impressed us by fitting four carry-on suitcases behind the third row and 38 behind the first, same as the enormous Honda Pilot. The cabin should accommodate just about anything a suburban family can throw at it, and there are plenty of thoughtfully placed storage nooks to stash small items. The interior design of the Atlas is uncomplicated and utilitarian-perfect for families but less so for style mavens. Plus, a third row of seats that can comfortably accommodate full-size adults is a definite win. Interior, Comfort, and Cargoįamily-friendly interior space, a straightforward control layout, and an overabundance of cupholders make the Atlas a practical choice, even among other highly practical rivals. For more information about the Atlas's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

We ran both powertrains on our 75-mph real-world route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and the V-6 Atlas returned 24 mpg the four-cylinder model delivered 27 mpg.

The thirstier V-6 model is rated at 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. The four-cylinder model is the most efficient with the front-wheel drive version scoring ratings of 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. The Atlas's fuel-economy ratings aren't groundbreaking for this class of big-box family haulers, but its real-world performance isn't far off from the segment's fuel sippers. The Atlas’s pulling strength drops to 2000 pounds for four-cylinder models. The six-cylinder models have a maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds, as much as the Toyota 4Runner and Subaru Ascent. Volkswagen puts a factory-installed trailer hitch on every Atlas with the 276-hp V-6. The ride is smooth, and all but the harshest potholes are absorbed.

It is composed on the highway and nimble in the city. While it's not as much fun to drive as the Mazda CX-9, the Atlas responds obediently to steering inputs and never feels clumsy. Though the last four-cylinder and V-6 models we tested had ordinary acceleration, out on the road, they rarely felt underpowered. The V-6 feels and sounds refined, transmitting nary a shiver into the cabin.

Both pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. The Atlas comes with one of two engines-a 235-hp four-cylinder or a 276-hp V-6. To that, we'd add the second-row captain's chairs and the tow hitch that unlocks the Atlas's maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds. Our example includes a wide range of features, including an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, adaptive cruise control, three-zone climate control, and remote start. Those who want 4Motion all-wheel drive can add it for $1900. We’d recommend the V-6-powered SE with the Technology package.
