1st Gen 2018 VR6 owner here. No reliability issues at 70k. Small weird issues: Leak from the roof rails, warranty fix. Driver window when rolled down rattles, a lot. Both the driver and passenger 2nd row reclining levers are missing the plastic cover so when you go to recline or fold the seats folded, you're grabbing bare metal. Other than that, we love it in my fam.
Yeah I’m currently looking for a slightly used suv and this was my first choice. After a lot of research, Atlas and Jeep grand Cherokee have a lot of consumer reported issues. Those 2 were on top of my list because they looked so good. So now I’m down to new pathfinder, highlander (looks boring), and prev gen Lexus gx460.
Why, it has roughly the same torque, likely more under the curve at most rpm's than the VR6? What's insane is the fact that it's considered "midsized".
Love the look and styling. But, lack of physical climate buttons for ac/heated seats and steering wheel moved this into the reject pile for me. Who wants to fiddle with a touchscreen while you’re driving.
I’m a new viewer to your channel and really like watching the shots of you in these cars. The first time made me wonder why the cars were so friggen huge but now you remind me of my kids. Surely you may still grow just a little bit. Love your vids and you probably hate it that people think you’re so cute.
all the people complaining about a 4cyl must be stuck in 1989 when a 4cyl got you like 80hp. People don't buy a crossover for speed 😂 that's not what they're for. Majority of people also don't keep their cars 10+yrs so who cares if it gives out at 200k
I am very picky when it comes to cars and cross-shopped a lot of options including Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Explorer, KIA and even Audi Q7 before settling for a 2020 Cross Sport. Besides a few issues, I am.a very happy customer for the past 4+ years. The comfort, space, fuel-efficiency, and above-average sound system make this a great package compared to other options I mentioned. About the sportiness of the vehicle, I didn't pay it for drag races but can easily saying the turning radius is great. I am now waiting for the factory warranty to end before tuning the engine to 300+hp.

@@AtlasCroc Wrong. Honda just released their new Pilot, and it has a new version of their J35 3.5 V6, DOHC instead of SOHC and without VTec. The Honda designed 10 speed automatic also replaces the 9 speed ZF unit in the older model. The Passport is simply a shortened Pilot, so the next generation will have the same V6 and transmission. As will the next Ridgeline.
@@AtlasCrocthat’s not accurate. They’ll def be keeping the V6. My only issue with the current generation is the exterior. Nothing special from the rear. The inside is okay, but nothing special. The new Pilot though gives me hope for the next Passport.
What's a point of a 2.0 litre engine in car like this, you would get the same mpg (if not better) with a 6- cilinder, with much more power. Look at new Mazdas' SUVs, they seem to get it
More breakdowns in 4 turbos=more revenue for manufacturers after the warranty Toyota just ditched their reliable smooth V6 with a 4 Turbo that sounds like a lawn mower returning exact same mpg lol
it's a pity that you didn't show how the remote start of the car works, whether it will cool the interior, ventilate the seats on hot days, and automatically heat the steering wheel, seat, rear window mirrors and defrost the front window in winter.
You can get 300+ with an APR stage 1 tune. I am sure there will be a stage 2 tune towards the north of 350+ hp. VW won't officially do it as they won't step into Audi's territories. 😊
I feel like at $52k, a turbo 6 should be at least an option if not standard. Nearly all its competitors have a 6-cylinder turbo engine option (Ford, Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, to name a few)
Love the colour - I had a 1990s Audi A4 in Kingfisher blue. The included hitch with 500lb tongue weight rating for 4 bike rack is solid. But the lack of simple backlit climate controls and volume controls on the infotainment system is a near deal breaker for me... VW used to lead here then Kia took over clearest ergonomics.
Agreed it is an improvement but still just competitive; nothing really stands out. Keep in mind coming later this year is the new Mazda CX70 with turbocharged in-line 6 cylinder with mild hybrid system, and an all new Hyundai SantaFe with a design and tech light years ahead of this VW! And in a year, a new Honda Passport with 3.5l V6!
I'd take this over the other with 4-motion R line with 2 rows over 3 rows. I like rear space plus you didn't point out the subwoofer with the spar tire seen... ISMH ;-( On the Volume slider it lights up to see it????
I own an A4 and i have to say, it seems like the quality of VW group have gone down while the peices have gone up for no real reason. Plus the electronics, you will definitely have problems with it.
So eloquently delivered...wonderful information...then you dropped the "expecially” bomb. Pretty sure they took the x out of that word in 1973 or 74. Anyway, I'm off to drink an expresso.
I have a 2021 R line Cross Sport and I have to say I like the exterior better on mine. The front of this new model does tend to look like an Expedition. I prefer the side by side style headlights on my 2021, along with the crome horizontal cross rails on my grill. The lighted front bar and logo is kinda cool though. The interior, however, looks much improved, except for the controls on the infotainment system. I much rather have actual dials for the heat and A/C. and radio. All this touch screen nonsense is just an accident waiting to happen. Dials are more intuitive. And then, NOT to have them back lit at night? A silly oversight. And don't get me started with all the piano gloss black trim!
The atlas itself it’s not a cheap car, it should have a small boosted 6cyl honestly at least 320hp and 280 torque, this new 2.0T should be in the Tiguan 270hp instead of 184hp, they should also get rid of the 8 speed tbh, the 7 speed DSG is a much better transmission so idk why they refuse to use it, while the European Tiguan has the GTI engine with a DSG for example
I own a 2018 and I find it was priced much more competitively back then. Every refresh since has seen a price increase for what is still a family, plastic heavy vehicle. This vehicle offers great space and a great highway ride, but I’m not sure I would buy one nowadays. The interior is significantly nicer in that top trim, but ultimately this is still largely the same vehicle introduced in 2018.
@@atmartens I have the VR6. It has been very dependable. I had to do a head gasket repair under warranty, but I believe it was a manufacturing defect. Absolutely nothing else to report.

@@joshuapounds7646 really? you call 84,500 miles with no issues reliable? that can be said about most cars. wait till the car gets pass 100k. Volkswagens are very nice cars, but if you look at the used car market, their, value drops faster than any mid-size SUV.
WORST rated model on the market according to actual OWNERS, extremely unreliable VW management: "Atlas isn't selling well bc it is one of the least reliable models, how do we fix this?" "Let's reduce the engine size by 40% but keep the tow rating the same, add our new infotainment and electronics that have proven to be even less reliable than before, remove all buttons and light up the logo!"
Stop copying this nonsense on every. single. damn video about the Atlas. On the normal Atlas video by Redline, on the Alex On Autos video. What you’re saying is not true, the Atlas is ranked average or above average in reliability by a bunch of reliability surveys. Last gen had the same 2.0T and the 2.0T is a very commonly used engine by VW and proven to be quite reliable. The amount of times you’re copy and pasting this nonsense on every single video about the Atlas makes me feel like you work for a competing company and or have an agenda to push…
I agree with reducing the engine size with an engine that is in every model across the board. However, I agree with the electronics that don't make sense. I guess you have to fulfill the contract with those third-party vendors.
It was Nice Having a Naturally aspirated V-6 as a optional Engine. Not crazy about Turbo Vehicles tend to be less Reliable. Now they have taken it away unfortunately. Besides the new interior, Also not Crazy about the front end styling, Reminds me of a ford F-250 and the rear lights with that light bar look like a Kia. Basically the 2023 model looked alot better to my taste.
This is definitely a midsize commodity cross over. It is not a luxury contender product or luxury value oriented product. There is a lot of hard plastic pleasant throughout the the interior which signifies commodity mainstream product. In the luggage area compartment its all hard scratchy plastic trim like domestic commodity vehicles. Even the real german VWs finish off the luggage compartment area for a sense of premiumness. The Mazda CX90 brings a higher level of premiumness on the interior, more powerful powertrain, better fuel economy and for similar dollars to the Atlas. This vehicle is a tough choice given what the CX90 offers. If VW were to offer the Cross Sport with the 5 cylinder turbo and true R Components then this wold be a differentiator in the segment.
Honda Passport all day, every day over this piece of unreliable junk. And what's up with the pimple they call a "shifter" that works exactly the opposite that you would expect it to? Push forward for reverse and backwards for drive? If they aren't going to use a real shift lever, might as well go with simple buttons or a knob like everyone else. I don't like button shifters, but at least Honda's buttons are somewhat intuitive. You actually have to pull backwards on their button to go into reverse. You know...to make the vehicle go...backwards. Seems like even a German engineer could figure that one out.

You know...to make the vehicle go...backwards. Seems like even a German engineer could figure that one out.
