A Look at the New 2023 Volkswagen Atlas and Its Advanced AWD System
October 17 2022,
After the success of the Volkswagen Atlas, it was a tough task to find improvements on Volkswagen's roomy family SUV. However, the new Atlas exceeds many expectations. The 2023 Atlas boasts outstanding levels of technology, 4MOTION AWD, a spacious cabin, class-leading legroom, an attractive price, and many other features that make it an outstanding choice for your family's needs.
The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas features 4MOTION all-wheel drive
Each model includes standard 4MOTION AWD that provides a peace of mind in challenging road conditions and beyond. This is not just another generic AWD system. Let's explore how it works.
The goal of 4MOTION AWD is to improve traction on any surface by creating the most ideal bond between road and tire. Advanced calculations and mechanical design provide an instantaneous response when changing road conditions require a redirection of power to the wheels that need it the most.
When conditions require 4MOTION intervention, it activates the front and rear axles within milliseconds to prevent the wheels from spinning out. Overall, the Atlas with standard 4MOTION AWD looks out for you and your family.
To drive this AWD system, the Atlas meets your power needs with two robust power systems. For starters, you can select the standard turbocharged 2.0L engine that delivers 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Whether you are making many stops around town or traveling cross-country, this power option steps up.
Volkswagen understands some drivers prefer more power, so you can opt for a 3.6L naturally-aspirated V6 that generates 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque.
More standard equipment with the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas
The Atlas offers a surprising and long list of standard amenities for 2023. Some highlights include 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, heated front seats, leatherette seating surfaces, LED lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, Car-Net with Wi-Fi capability, Front Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Traffic Alert.
No matter how your family spends its time, the Atlas is designed to fit many lifestyles, too. With 2,741L of flexible cargo space and best-in-class third-row legroom, you can count on a vehicle that adapts.
The Atlas' available equipment targets family needs. For example, climatronic three-zone automatic climate control delegates control to each individual row, so everyone can stay comfortable on trips of any length.
