Bob Penkhus Volkswagen - What to Know About the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas
The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas continues to be a standout choice for families and adventurers who want real space, refined comfort, and the confidence to handle everyday life with ease. With three adult-friendly rows, flexible cargo solutions, and a host of modern driver-assistance and connectivity features, the Atlas is built around real-world needs—school mornings, weekend road trips, and everything in between.
At Bob Penkhus Volkswagen, we see how drivers prioritize capability without sacrificing comfort. The Atlas answers that call with responsive power for merging and mountain passes, confident towing performance when properly equipped, and the kind of intuitive tech that makes each drive calmer and more connected. It’s a full-size family SUV that feels just right—easy to live with, impressive when you need it.
Performance is both smooth and strong, thanks to a turbocharged engine tuned for everyday drivability and long-haul efficiency. When properly equipped, the Atlas is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it a practical partner for small campers or weekend toys. Available all-wheel drive enhances traction in changing weather and on mixed surfaces, while selectable drive modes help tailor the response for snow, dirt, or dry pavement. The result is an SUV that inspires confidence—without feeling cumbersome.
Inside, the Atlas makes space its superpower. Adults can settle into the third row, and the wide-opening rear doors simplify buckling in child seats. With the rear rows folded, the cargo area expands to a cavernous capacity—ideal for home projects, ski gear, or a big Costco run. Thoughtful touches like an available hands-free liftgate, low load floor, and clever storage cubbies show that this cabin was designed for daily life. Outside, you’ll find crisp, modern styling with available R-Line flair and the rugged spirit of the Peak Edition—so it looks as good at the office as it does on the trailhead.
Technology and safety come standard with Volkswagen’s latest driver-assistance suite for stress-reducing support on the freeway and in traffic. Inside, a large central display, a configurable digital instrument cluster, and seamless smartphone integration create a clean, intuitive interface. Available features such as a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless charging, remote services via the myVW app, and premium audio help everyone stay entertained and informed.
