Tow capacity of the Atlas is as much as 5,000 when paired with the 3.6L V6 engine and equipped with the factory-installed tow hitch. This pairing is available with the Atlas SEL Premium, SE Tech, SE Tech R-Line, SEL, SEL R-Line and SEL Premium R-Line trims. All of these trims come with standard-equipped 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport mode, which grants drivers peace of mind, no matter what they may be towing.
The Atlas has from 235-276 hp, depending on which engine option you choose. The available 3.6L, 24-valve, DOHC, narrow-angle V6 engine puts out 276 hp. The standard 2.0L TSI®, 16-valve, DOHC, in-line-4cylinder turbocharged engine puts out 235 hp. Regardless of which trim level you choose, you’ll find the Atlas is packed with enough power for most drivers.
The VW Atlas curb weight is 4,248-4,612 lbs. Weight of the VW Atlas will vary depending on trim level and which engine option you choose. The Atlas with the standard 2.0L TSI®, 16-valve, DOHC, in-line 4 cylinder turbocharged engine has the lowest weight of 4,248 lbs. The VW Atlas paired with the 3.6L V6 engine and SEL Premium trim has the highest weight of 4,612 lbs.
The Atlas has a ground clearance of 8 inches. While hitting the trails might not be a part of your typical drive, the additional security of 8-inches of ground clearance height can still help in town. Steep parking lot entrances and large speed humps will be no match for your Atlas.
