IMO, if anyone is in the market for this type of vehicle... and it's in their price range... there's nothing else that comes close. They're amazing vehicles; and the 4Motion AWD system is superb.
I rented the Subaru Ascent, Honda Pilot and VW Atlas prior to my Atlas purchase. You need to spend time in the drivers seat. The Atlas wasn’t at the top of my list until the weekend test drives and many miles in each car. I feel the Atlas is far more comfortable, luxurious and capable for my needs. Seat time is what changed my mind. I’m 1-1/2 years in with my SEL and love it!
This just move up to my SUV that I'm considering getting next year.! Thanks for the review.
Nice review, we love our 2019 VW Atlas SE with tech and 4motion. We have had no issues or problems with this vehicle. It is very nice and we would buy it again
I ended up buying an Atlas SEL after looking at the Highlander, CX9 and the Explorer. It gives you the most space for the money and overall it's been pretty good.
Beautiful car, my daughter owns one. Where i think VW falls short is the the front dash design, namely the infotainment layout. Not flashy enough for a $50 thous. dollar car. You look at SUV's in the low 40's and they have gorgeous dash design, ie: Palisade, Telluride, Ascent and on.
@@mangolighters Yup i hear you, to each his own. I just named the front dash to name one. There's also the hard plastics all over the place. The leatherette appointed seats, i mean really? A 47 to 49 thou. car with leatherette?. But like i said, to each his own. God Bless.
We love our 2020 SEL R-Line 4motion. It's been a great vehicle and tows my 21 foot boat very well. My biggest complaint is the size of the fuel tank, it seems a little small and the range is not the best.
Def looking at it for my wife and kids so thanks for sharing this
Great review! We love our 2019 VW Atlas SE w/technology and 4motion. Please give us more VW Atlas reviews!!
Thinking about buying the same trim. Do you like yours so far?
@@demose255 yes it has been trouble free and a great vehicle.
@MO We have 2021 atlas SE R-Line and 4motion. I have to tell you it’s been a great truck.
Looks great and the R-line pacKages add a great look to it. My real only complaint I wish the fender audio was an option in the lower trims.
I would like to see you more often in TFL. You and Tommy makes the most entertaining videos. Ozzy s Boneyard, excellent choice !
VW is the best right now. I sold my Mercedes and bought a VW, love it.
This is very true. I own both. VW actually has better surround sensors than MBZ. The rear traffic alert VW is way better. MBZ sensors goes off too many times as false alert. Like terrain will set off MBZ sensor, but not VW.
Well sell it back. Volkswagen isn’t what it used to be in its heyday of Piech (1998-2012). I can see Jetta and Tiguan as the plastic mobiles, but Passat, Atlas/Crossport et.al. need to offer a bit more for the money they charged for these offerings. Arteon is actually in the right step IMO
I really like Nathan’s take on car reviews he just puts that real dude vibe into every video. 👍
Thats brown leather is damn nice. This is top of the list for my family. The Telluride is a close second.
Excellent review. I just picked up the SE V6 with technology package last night and love it. Don’t know why some reviewers are so negative towards the VW atlas. I picked this over the Chevy traverse, which I had test driven multiple times. It drives better than the traverse and comes with second row bench seats, which I couldn’t get in the traverse 3LT. Great vehicle for a family with 3 little kids like mine.
Almost bought the 2018 Model when it came out, but no diesel option, so I bought my wife a 2015 Audi Q7 TDI. It’d more fun, better mpg, and saved me about 20k over the Atlas. Best of all our Q7 can be sold for what we almost paid for, and the Atlas I’d be upside down if I tried to get rid of it.
They do look beautiful. I’m just not crazy about the interior, because it looks pretty basic. It is newer then my 2015 Passat TDI, but there is still too much resemblance to older VW’s for my liking. I had a 2017 Passat TSI, so I got to experience the newer interior some, but it wasn’t mind blowing.
All they would change for me and I’d buy a new a VW in a heartbeat , but only if they came with a TDI. I know that’ll never happen anymore, so my days of buying new VW’s are done. I’ll be looking at Ford or Chevy in the future for my wife’s next SUV since they still offer diesels (I expect Ford to add diesel in Expedition). As for me, I’ll stick to Passat TDI’s, Audi TDI’s or try BMW diesels (535d).
This Vw atlas is my Laste Vw I was a fun of Vw for 25 years i’am done no more Vw
Good morning Nathan ☀️
Welcome back Nathan!!
He was not gone.
He probably was on a holiday or just working behind the camera. Haha good to see you back in front though, Nathan!
Christopher Flores he never left in front of the camera
@@kennethmetzger4944 but he hasn't been as active on their videos lately. It's mostly been Andre, Roman and Tommy, mostly Tommy.
Love my Atlas!
What a nice car I have one. No problems taken te family on road trips and is a nice ride 👍🏼
Wish it had cooling seats in the second row! like the Kia Telluride...
Great overview. We love our Atlas SEL Premium - chose it over the Telluride and Highlander. Mostly for how roomy it was and the VW dealers are cutting a lot off of MSRP.
In SoCal you are lucky to get one at msrp. But worth it. Very comfortable.
Does it offer air suspension? Looking to replace my Grand Cherokee with something bigger but I need the air suspension to ease my arthritic @$$. Also that steering column with a filler for where the key once was is really bothering me
After owning 2019 Atlas, here are the CONS - Ride is not at all comfortable as we can feel every bumps on tarmac or highway even with 18in wheels, Poor led headlights - fitted Novsight H11 100w fog leds to brighten up road , low gas mileage........PROS - 4motion Haldex 5gen AWD stable even at 140km/hr on snowy highway , tons of space inside , Reliable VR6+Aisin Transmission........WANT VW TO BRING ELECTRIC HYBRID ATLAS WITH BETTER SOFTER COMFORTABLE RIDE QUALITY.....but VW will not as Atlas will out perform Q7 and Q7 sales will suffer!!!
The worse offender was The Honda Pilot of 2003 to 2015? Honda deliberately made the Pilot ugly and noisy. Great SUV back then. Now the Atlas does the same compared to the Audi Q7, but nowhere as deliberate as the Pilot. I now own a Tiguan, I test drove the Atlas and much better ride than my Tiguan SE 4Motion. I just don’t like big SUVs
It’s really not a bad vehicle. Definitely more “sport-tuned” suspension wise and personally, I think it’s under-powered for the segment. But that’s just me. I love the Touareg in Europe... truthfully, I wish that was here in the states over the Atlas.
@Evan.. yes R-line needs to be turbo charged just like Ford Explorer sport.
@Volks ...Pilot is another crap...no space inside..Ride quality is worse than Atlas. I test drove Ascent & Pilot..both are worse in Ride comfort than Atlas. Therefore I took the stupid decision to lease Atlas for 5years😜. Just waiting to end the lease term to discard Atlas & get Ford Explorer instead...no wonder it is largest seller in this segment..they have hybrid, sport ..all variants.
Gardens T years ago, I felt the Ford Mustang RWD platform will be Fords new platform like Today’s Explorer. I was in Germany last year and I saw lots of Tiguan Allspace going fast in the Autobahn. I decided to buy a 2019 Tiguan SE 4MOTION. The MBZ c class wagon I drove was slow with its 2 liter turbo.
I got the 18 wife love it 45000 mi and still doing good. No issue at all lov it
Can u tell me if its just my eyes cheating me or have they put in a smaller steering wheel for the 21vs 18 and 19. Thanks
I have the 2019 se 4motion with tech pkg and I f'n love it. Zero complaints, zero issues, zero buyers remorse and I'm very picky about anything I buy. I swapped the tires to the toyo atIII's and I have a black forest industries 1.5" body lift kit coming for it just to help a little since I drive it "off road" a lot, quotes because it's not hardcore off roading just basic rocks and things u drive over to go fishing, camping, dirt biking and stuff. The atlas has hella room and turns better and I swear tighter than my toyota camry and it makes fitting a big vehicle super easy to fit in tight spaces. It could use a little extra hp for freeway acceleration but it's not bad for what it is. It actually does decent on gas too but it would be nice to have a bigger tank, it goes fast. Anyways the atlas is awesome and worth purchasing and does everything it is designed to do. I'm happy with mine.
Racing green version with same black/mauro brown interior is best color combo in the fleet... Leather seats are awesome. IS a bigger vehicle, but using custom driving menu you can use sport steering and this handles VERY smooth on city road as well as gravel... R-line version 21 inch tires too city for gravel/off roading.... Also- Fender audio system is super as well.....
I just bought one today actually used 2021 62000 miles got it for 23000 not a bad price I’ll be back after a bit for an update
Thank You Nathan!!
The Atlas has been on my mind for a while b/c it has its own personality that I like, it's wide and has nearly 97 cubic ft. of cargo with 2nd and 3rd seats down (as a photographer I bring a ton of equip. always and I'm used to the 123 cubic ft. of my Saturn Outlook, amazing.)
Also, it has somewhat high up feeling driving and the 20 or 21 inch wheels give it a sporty look. Consumer Reports (the family bible of sort for 50 years) rated Volkswagens having "the worst" reliabilty, down there with my fav design int. and ext. Range Rover Sport BUT functionality can never be second to design. I believe this model is much better that that though having asked every owner on the road so far. Thanks again for your video!!
Opps, this is actually Hugo Rojas, Jeff is on my business emails.
Question : In terms of reliability , how does it compete with Highlanders
Good detailed review, just the camera person didn’t do justice to properly show what you were talking about.
How is the 2.0 engine for a long term use? Is it true that it can deteriorate owning for 6-10yrs??
Very nice, what color is this
This is a very nice ride.
is that a pre-marked key hole on the right side ??
We love ours, except the front suspension makes a thunking sound going over bumps since day one. Anybody know what that is?
Brett Blankner mine had a similar sound and I found it was just my boat hitch jiggling in the receiver. If you have a hitch take it out. I was surprised how the sound travels through the unibody and made it sound like it was coming from front.
is it good as the phaeton. you mean when back wheels slip front kicks in.
How did u get that hat to fit????
❤️Love my 2021 Atlas V6 SEL Premium in Aurora Red Metallic!❤️
Omg I thought Nathan would nvr return
What is that thing sticking out below the VW logo on the front grille? Whatever it is, it looks like an afterthought.
Great honest review!
Saw another review on UA-cam that mentioned interior rattles that drove him nuts until folding down the seats. Hope that was outlier. Other thing that is never mention with all the tech these cars have is Homelink. View of rear view mirror does not seem to have buttons for Homelink but may have missed it. I had 2016 Golf R that was optioned quite well that did not have Homelink and was not available. Hope this has changed with VW.
No way I would spend $50,K plus on something like this Atlas..Volkswagen cheaped out with this Vehicle trying to save money. Wrong move! (1)Too much cheap plastic everywhere. (2) not enough horsepower! Top trim level should have 425-500 horsepower. (3) What no power steering column adjustment??? On a $50,000 vehicle??? (4) too little sound proofing..sounds like a tin can at times. (5) what happened to the Fog lights??? (6) the leather interior is too cheaply made for a $50,000 plus Vehicle! (7) what in the H%#@* was volkswagen thinking placing a suv body on a Fwd car platform ??? Please 🤔 where is the full ladder/ Half ladder and sub Frame Rwd/Based steel frame platform??? (8) Sorry 😞 but building a premium German vehicle in the united states has caused some serious quality/ Workmanship issues that need to be addressed Quickly! (9) what is the deal with so few color choices for the interior and exterior??? That needs to be addressed Quickly! (10) lose one of those giant volkswagen bages..preferably on the rear. (11) You definitely need to have more options on wheels styling and loose the fake exhaust! (12) Need more powerful engine and transmission. options..like twinturbo V6 and v8's 10-speed dct. (13) needs second row fold down tables and foot rest' also needs twin video monitors for the second and third row. Ok..I'm done telling/ suggesting to you Volkswagen how to better improve your product.
I have a love hate relationship with my Wife's Atlas. It is a somewhat refined SUV, the infotainment system is very responsive, steering very responsive, acceleration slightly above average for this size and it's comfortable in any seat even the third row at 6' 2" 265lbs. The drawback would be the known issue they will not fix where it makes a grinding noise at low acceleration and when turning it off. Doesn't affect the performance but for a Simi lux suv to sound like crap is a little embarrassing.
Yeah O have the same problem with mine. Since it doesn't affect performance I just ignore it🤗
Don’t fool yourself VOlks Wagens are Junk own them for a time and you will see and check the reliability report on them and why don’t they give that report when viewing these cars ,trucks and SUV
I don't have that issue at all with mine. 2020 SEL R-Line with 4motion
@@meatball1080 maybe they fixed it on the 20's, it's not a rare issue on the 18 & 19's Atlas or Tiguan...
Notice that when he was naming other SUVs that this competes with he didn't mention the Telluride, cause nothing competes with that right now.
The Palisade actually drives better than the Telluride. Also way more better looking on the inside.
I would personally get a Lincoln Avaitor over a Telluride. It has better technology than the Telluride.
@@shantanubhardwaj2670 The way things look is a matter of opinion. I thing the Palisade Is just an ugly looking SUV on the outside. So I can't drive something that I don't want to look at everyday. Even if it may have some minor things better than another car.
@@StgVirus1 I hope it has many better things that the Telluride since the base model of the Lincoln costs more the the Telluride fully loaded. Those two SUVs are not in the same class.
Haha, actually the highlander is much better built than it. May not have as much space in 3rd row, but at least it'll stay on the road more than in the shop. Plus the quality of the interior is better.
Does the USA not get the touareg?
Sure looks good.
I have a 2018 SE w/tech that is 2.5 years old with 42,000 miles and is been perfect.
I also only paid $32,500.
I really like it
You can buy a Acura MDX or RDX for the same cost. Acura is cheaper after the warranty ends. Should have TFL rating: Lease-It!
I don't agree with you on MDX. Read consumer report and many other rated MDX is the worst SUV.
I love Volkswagen's my first was 1998 Jetta and now I own 2018 tiguan 2008 gti
Most people don’t care about the fake exhaust tips and would rather not have to deal with keeping them clean.
Diesel option with more torque would be nice.
Thanks Nathan for the review. Would have liked to have seen your leg room in the backseat. Hope Tommy does slip tests on this as well. :)
I own a 2018 VW Atlas and the small design change in 2021 VW Atlas makes mine look outdated :)
Well....I have a 2021 Atlas SE V6 w/tech package. Go ahead turn on your adaptive cruise control and take a ride. Turn the vehicle off, then remote start it. Take it for a ride and try using cruise control again. It will give you a malfunction light. NO fix. Was told by VW America to either not use the ACC or don’t use remote start. Lots of great features in the vehicle. Too bad they don’t all work together. Wife loves it other than that.
Really? Should try that :-) Atlas ride quality is no good,..just waiting for my 5year lease to end & discard Atlas.
Gardens T Really? My wife loves the ride and handling way better than her 2018 Traverse. We’re waiting on VW to see if they’re going to buy it back.
@@gardenst4398 the 21 rides ten times better than the 20. It was amazing the difference.
@Mike... whole universe know that beefier tyres give smoother ride than slim tyres like 21in but if you have better strut suspension then 21in can give you comfort. There is no difference in suspension setups with Atlas. All their suv come with same setup. Infact I test drove R-line with slim tyres & immediately gave it back. Then test drove 18in, it was better but still due to HORRIBLE STRUT SETUP, even 18in could not help any further....this was same story with Pilot & Ascent which I test drove
We looked at one but went with x3 instead.
im in canada i just bye one today:)
Exhaust is the new fetish people obsess about after cup holders and door bins.
I know people always complain about reliability of VW. I had 2010 VW Tiguan, and now I have 2018 Tiguan. No problem. I even bought extended warranty for my 2010, and it was waste of money. 2018 had 6year/72000 warranty that I didn’t even need to buy extended warranty. I leased my 2018, and Feb 2021 my lease is up, I’m really on the fence if I should buyout my lease, or get a American Built Atlas or keep my Mexican Built Tiguan. My 2010 Tiguan was German built.
What about Ford Explorer? Its largest seller in this segment. I own Atlas 2019..not so pleased with it & just waiting for my 5 year lease to end, so I can discard it. Atlas ride quality is no good.
@@gardenst4398 I think Explorer should be a fine choice. I haven't owned a ford product since 2004 (Mercury Sable), so I can't comment on that. But explorer is a rear wheel drive, and from what I read it's fine highway cruiser, but not much of an off roader. Also rear wheel drive has taken away some of the interior space, so I think it won't be as spacious as Atlas or the previous generation of Explorer. It has return it's root to it's related brother Ford Ranger. However, it's a mix bag in my opinion.
@Major.. Ford has extended warranty upto 8years which is peace of mind. VW does not offer Ext warranty. If Police can run Explorer 24/7 what other reliability data do we need? Yes rear wheel drive is major fun to drive like Durango, X5 etc...Ford makes good AWD too. None of these are offroader....consider 4runner or Tahoe then.
@@gardenst4398 You maybe right, so I won't dispute it. Keep in mind that US/ Canadian Police Departments has a motor pool that they are used to maintenance of Ford. VWs are used in German and Chinese Police Force for many decades. They are as reliable when maintained properly. Both Ford and VW are the largest suppliers of Police vehicles in the world. My neighbor is a big Ford guy, and he is the one that told me VW is also a very popular police car in the world. They should have a 24 hour LeMans race for world's police cars. That would be a hoot, or NASCAR race for Police Cars.
@@majorcalvary6515 thanku..good info👍
Man I’m going back and forth now between this and the Telluride 🤦🏾♂️
good luck1 You will pay MSRP+ADM. No rebates on the Telluride
Run it on the track!
It's a shame VW don't bring the Toureg anymore to USA. The 2020 model looks sick and have a lot of more of ground clearance than this. Better interior too tho.
I think Volkswagen should really sell the Viloran and the Talagon here in the US
WOOOOOFF🐻🐻🐻
Hey, don’t forget about the Lamborghini Urus and the Bentley Bentayga
I wish we got these in the uk.
Wish we got the Toureg in the US
Toureg is so much better imo except the lack of a third row
Noobus Supreme possibly but I need the extra seats 😂
vdubster you guys got the smaller but unique Škoda kodiaq and the seat taracco, beautiful machines
Joskj j but they’re just long wheelbase Tiguans
I likely my suv mascular looking big and wide, I saw the Telluride and the Palisade in person not a big fan, to me it looks small kinda soft and gender neutral type look to it 😁
MY GUY WHY ARE YOU SITTING SO CLOSE YOU MAKE THE TRUCK SEEM LIKE IT HAS NO FRONT SEAT SPACE.....
LOVE THE REVIEW THO GREAT JOB!!!
I work where there built
Gold Mine HIll! :)
By far the most comfortable in the class for all passengers. I find all the competitors cramped in comparison.
Great job, Nathan! You look good in the Atlas and you describe it in perfect detail. But... $50,000.00??? Im not sure that I would spend my hard earned pension money on this particular Atlas. My local Phoenix VW dealership has a brand new 2020 Atlas R-Line sitting out front. Its dark gray with gray 19" wheels and it looks bad ass! MSRP on that one is $44,600 and change. It has a moon roof as well. A better deal in my humble opinion.
You're right! the R-Line Atlas seems to be the best option and they got bigger wheels and Quad exhaust with the R badge, I'm also trying to get it
A BIG WARNING for FAMILIES: Atlas does not have third row child seat lower anchors. For a FAMILY SUV this is UNACCEPTABLE!!
I own a 2018 Atlas, and 4 baby girls, and lack of anchors is ridicolous.
It limits you from getting safer car seats that attach to the cars anchors, thus making them safer and firm in position.
And when I saw that even with this facelift they haven't added lower anchors, I am so disappointment.
The ONLY Volkswagen vehicle I care about is the California pop top camper van. Volkswagen refuses to export this vehicle to the USA. If and when VW changes their mind, let me know.
Checkout the Winnebago Solis (Promaster V6 with a pop top). I am a Westfalia owner and it got me interested. Eurocentric, Front Wheel Drive and has a bathroom
TFL to be that person your title is wrong Volkswagen also owns
Bentley. Bugatti. Lamborghini. Porsche. Audi which are all on sale with more luxury than an atlas
I love the exterior look but the downside is the plasticky and boxy feel of its interior.
Get the Telluride
I would have thought the most luxurious volkswagen would be one of the Bentleys
Vw is the best
Subaru Ascent for the WIN ! I get better gas mileage, same AWD, more horsepower, lower price. I also have a CVT that has been perfect, even towing 4000lb across America . Peacefrom510 .
Ascent ride quality is more horrible than Atlas with 18 in wheel. I test drove it before buying Atlas. Still Im not pleased with ride & hope to discard it at end of my lease. & get Ford Explorer..largest seller in this segment
Gardens T the ride is great with the 20 inch rims. Plus all the safety for the price. Our Apples to your Bananas.
@@gardenst4398 ascent has 260hp, atlas has 276 with the vr6 amd 235 with the 2.0t the Scoobie does look better though
@@gardenst4398 you're going to be disappointed in the interior of the explorer. Its utter garbage. Panels don't fit right, cheap plastics, looks like the interior was an afterthought and it was rushed to production. Get ready to hate that ford 10 speed auto too. Front end is fugly but its a damn good looking suv from the side and im glad they switched to a rear wheel drive based chassis. Only thinfnthe explorer really has going for it is the acceleration. Larger selling also doesn't mean it's the best, otherwise McDonald's would be considered the best burgers. Wanna go fast get the explorer or Durango. Want a good solid reliable one, got with Toyota. Want some sportiness, get the VW. Want a good and system, get the Scoobie. Want the best bang for your buck luxry and the best warrantt get the palisade/teluride.
Naaaah. Palisade or Telluride for the win! Check them out, you'll understand
The new pathfinder got rid of cvt
So, you don't get the Touareg? Shame
Really? Better the Kia telluride and the Hyundai palisade? Or just the best VW of the VW lineup?
The palisade in my opinion is way better and has more technology than the atlas and also cheaper
Buts it's not a VW🤔🤫
Have you tried to buy a Telluride or Palisade top trim? They are more expensive out the door by far. I disagree on the tech part. The Palisade blind side cameras are cool but they are useless in the rain on the highway.
KIA Telluride is still better for the money. Looks better, practical, better warranty and more reliable long run. Thet tried though.
Get a Highlander instead
R-line also comes with fake exhaust tips. 🙄
The VW Touareg is a far better, nicer and significantly more luxurious car, which my wife has. Better in every possible way. It’s not a 7 seater though. Strange that you don’t get them in Murica!
Touareg as Volkswagen’s only large SUV is a poor strategy. I agree that it’s a great vehicle, but it had stiff competition from Grand Cherokee and other luxury labels, all while packing less cargo area. Tiguan has almost the same dimensions as the Touareg, so if Volkswagen wants to bring it back to America, it should be brought as a fully loaded option to sit with Arteon, Golf R as a premium VW.
@@Atl404sFinest Grand Cherokee is not even in the same class. It's a piece of crap compared to anything VW produce.
Three VWs in the past, they’re all money pits. The Interior design REALLY looks cheap versus the competition. I’ll a pay a few more thousands for the 2021 Acura MDX for its superior AWD, reliability, performance, efficiency, safety, exterior/interior design and resale value.
It's still a VW
Still think the '20 toureg is better.
This is a pile of plastic. I think the telluride/pallaside/highlander offer a better product than this in terms of amenities and styling.
Sorry but for 5k less the high end Telluride and Palisade look much better, safer and more luxurious IMO. Maybe you should do an off road test on the three to see if the Atlas IS better there
You can't touch a comparably equipped Telluride or Palisade for less than 52 oit the door. I just got the 21 Atlas SEL AWD Premium for 46 out the door tonight. I shopped Highlander, Telluride, Palisade, and Atlas for month. Tried the 20 Atlas before and the 21 this time. It was 10 times better than the 20 in every aspect. Ride, interior, and very quiet. It was a better ride than all of them, the Highlander was very close but more expensive, less equipped at the top trim, and smaller.
Telluride and palisade cost more for less features. Locally the second level palisade with cloth seats is listed for $50,000 around me (SoCal). KIA is definitely lower quality. Hyundai is better than Kia in terms of material. Don’t get me wrong. I like Korean cars and their designs (I’m also Korean) but I would not buy one. My 2021 Atlas has way more features than my 2013 X5m at a fraction of the price. Very traditional German feel to it. It’s a roomy, comfortable car that doesn’t break the bank.
yeah, but the 270 hp translates to pathetic performance. it loses to the original tiguan in 0-60. for the price would be paying for one, i expect audi sq6 performance, since theyre the same price. im referencing the cross coupe too. even if it was less, like 350-325hp it would be SO much better
i do like that its like a dad mode kid carrier though
Forget this pile of plastic and get a palisade or telluride honestly
All that money and the best they can do is fake exhaust chrome on the rear bumper and that hideous camera stuck on under the front emblem? It looks aftermarket.
For size the Traverse is the only way to go, for luxury and value the Palisade and Telluride are the only way to go. Pilot and Highlander are banking on past reputations. The CX9 has a useless third row and is not class competitive. Explorer is priced ridiculous, Pathfinder and Ascent have a CVT problem. The Durango is worth a look though, especially the facelift coming out next year.
I think it's a great a vehicle.
Would I like one ? Heck yeah.
Can I afford it ? ROTFLMAO. Not even on my wildest dreams.
Fake exhaust are stupid, but at least it doesn't have fake vents like Toyota!
The original design of the Atlas is better looking. I feel like they took a step back with looks. Previous gen, the front looks like a truck. This gen looks like a normal SUV
