Volkswagen Atlas
The Atlas is available in four trim levels including the adventurous-looking Peak Edition and the richly appointed, fully loaded Execline. The interior is spacious and comfortable. However, the multimedia system isn’t very intuitive to use, while the driving experience doesn’t really stand out from the competition. The Atlas is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine developing 269 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Towing capacity is rated at 5,000 lbs.
