2022 Volkswagen Atlas Customer Reviews

Pros

• Reliability

  Vehicle has been very reliable, no issues to mention

• Fuel Economy

  better than expected for a vehicle this size and with this engine config. Have been averaging from 23 to 26mpg

Cons

• Braking

  factory pad material is noisy at time when stopping under 10mph, dealer confirmed this is normal with the oem pads.

Pros

• Seat Comfort

  So this car gave me great leg room. We are over 5'9 in this home and I have a brother that visits that is 6'4". No matter if you are in the front seat or back seat you have lots of leg room.. More so than any car I was trying in that size group. We haven't tried leg room on the 3rd row, just talking about front seats and the ones behind it. It's also made of steel I believe, so I can actually put magnet bumper stickers on it and it feels like a really big car. Took a second to get used to it from a Nissan Murano. My sister liked mine so much she went and got a VW Taos.

• Interior Space

  Amazing space covered in my "seat comfort" review.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  Gas mileage isn't great but I can deal with that. The ease of closing the hatch isn't super easy when you are in the car. If someone is putting something in my car I often just ask them to push the button on the hatch for me.

• Styling

  I'm not in love with the leather seating. Its not a solid leather and has these tiny pin holes in that food gets stuck in easily.

Pros

• Interior Space

  Useful 3rd for occasional extra passengers, with middle seats that tip forward for access even with child car seats attached.

• Reliability

  So far no issues

• Technology and Entertainment

  All the tech I require, heated seats, Apple CarPlay, lots of USBC ports

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  Fuel economy is not amazing

Pros

• Interior Space

  I’m 6’2”/320# and I fit very comfortably. Even with the driver seat all the way back, the 2nd row has plenty of leg room as well.

• Cargo Space

  with the 3rd row down, there is a tremendous amount of cargo room.

• Styling

  it a sharp looking vehicle.
