screen-shot-2016-11-03-at-9-55-20-amPart of VW’s success can be attributed to their relatively small lineup. They might not have 20 vehicles to choose from but the ones they do have are done right. So you can assume that when they do unveil a new vehicle it’s been tested both physically and in the market.

Unveiled on the Santa Monica Pier at the end of the iconic Route 66, the 2018 Atlas is expected to make a pretty significant mark on the SUV market when it is released. The all-new seven passenger SUV is America personified in vehicle form as it is completely assembled in America and was built with the modern American family in mind. There will be five trim levels with standard and available features such as 4Motion® All-Wheel Drive, Volkswagen CarNet® System, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, MirrorLink®, and the innovative Volkswagen Digital Cockpit.

“This is the biggest and boldest Volkswagen we have ever built in the United States, delivering the distinctive design and craftsmanship we’re known for, now with room for seven, ” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, CEO of the North America Region, Volkswagen. “The Atlas marks a brand new journey for Volkswagen to enter into the heart of the American market.”
