To that, we'd spec the second-row captain's chairs and the tow hitch, which unlocks the Atlas's maximum towing capacity of 5000 pounds.

VW has also added the Atlas Peak Edition appearance package, offered with exclusive Avocado Green and Pure Gray paint colors and a more rugged and outdoorsy look.

A 12.0-inch infotainment screen is also new, which is a big upgrade from the previous 8.0-inch unit. For 2024, Volkswagen also makes a heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats standard equipment. For the cockpit, the refreshed Atlas gets a bunch of new, more upscale trim thrown into its otherwise plastic basket. Despite the difference in powerplants, the max towing capacity remains 5000 pounds, and an eight-speed transmission with front-wheel drive is still standard. Volkswagen ditches the previously available 276-hp V-6, and instead offers the Atlas with only a 269-hp turbocharged inline-four powertrain. There are new wheel designs across the entire lineup, including 21-inch wheels for the R-Line models. A revised front fascia with new headlights is on for trim levels above SE. The most obvious change is the Atlas' new look. Volkswagen is giving the Atlas a stylish makeover for 2024 atop a host of brand-new standard equipment. 21 Volkswagen Atlas STARTING AT: $38,000 What's New for 2024?
