2026 Volkswagen
Atlas
The Volkswagen Atlas draws buyers with its attractive blend of spaciousness and abundant features. Built in Chattanooga, Tennessee, this three-row SUV is VW’s largest model, with the two-row Atlas Cross Sport just a tad behind it. In a change for the 2026 model year, all trims except for the base SE now get a HomeLink mirror, giving owners built-in controls for garage doors and other connected devices. Every Atlas is safeguarded by a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and covered by the Carefree Maintenance Program, which provides complimentary standard scheduled services for two years or 20,000 miles. The Atlas is also covered with 3 years/36,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance.
