Daily News | 2022 Volkswagen Atlas bests other SUVs in many ways
The Atlas received a refresh for the 21.5 model. The 2022 model gets tech upgrades beyond that.The Atlas really is almost a grown-up version of a Golf or even a GTI. The 276 horses in the 3.6-liter V-6 provide plenty of power to the SUV. The Atlas makes it to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds, according to a Car and Driver test of a 2018, far slower than the SUV felt.
For a large SUV, the Atlas takes to the road fairly well. No, it’s not more fun than a GTI, but it does allow for easy maneuvers and nice, smooth handling when the turns get tight. This is a vast improvement overWe covered quite a bit of ground — north to the Poconos, plus trips to King of Prussia and Delaware — and the vehicle proved a worthy companion on highways, mostly smooth but with the occasional bump reminding you that you were in a Volkswagen.
The Atlas certainly wins among the three on cargo space, as well: 96.8 cubic feet behind the front row, with 55.5 behind the middle row, and 20.6 beyond the way, way back.
