The all-new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas promises an upgraded driving experience for the whole family, and we can’t wait to welcome it to our dealership later this year. Recently introduced to the world at the New York International Auto Show, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas features noteworthy updates, both inside and out.
From its striking exterior design to its abundance of thoughtful standard features, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas is set to deliver a comfortable, convenient, and engaging driving experience for you and your crew. The upcoming Atlas will bring a new look, a luxurious cabin, and a boost in horsepower to every adventure. Ready to learn more about the all-new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas? Let’s take a look at its top highlights below.

An Updated Exterior
Designed to make a bold statement, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas features all-new sheet metal and sharp details like double stacked LED headlights and a masked upper grille. You’ll stand out even more on the road with available double lightlines and an illuminated VW badge. Other eye-catching exterior design details include:
- Strong fenders
- Sculpted side sills
- Available illuminated door handles
- Available puddle lamps
- Spoiler
- Turn signals with three animations
Built on the upgraded MQB Evo architecture, the all-new Atlas is now slightly longer, and its new look is complemented by 18-inch, 20-inch, or 21-inch wheels, depending on the trim level. New aluminum-alloy wheel designs are standard on all trim levels except the base, but you can opt for available machined alloy or black finishes instead.
The sleek design of the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas is finished off by tasteful paint color options, including three new shades: Blackberry, Sacramento Green, and Sandstone.
A Revamped Cabin
Buckle up for a luxurious driving experience because the all-new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas SUV’s cabin was thoughtfully redesigned for practicality and for you and your family’s comfort.
The shift lever has been relocated to the steering column, giving you more center console space — and speaking of the console, it now features a new Driver Experience Dial that lets you control features like audio volume and drive modes. Plus, the console lets you charge two phones at once with updated Qi2 wireless charging.
The base trim level features a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, but higher trim levels boast an even larger screen — 15 inches.
Every trim level is designed with real wood décor, and even the door handles have been redesigned. You can choose from three interior color options: pebble grey, black and dark grey, or an all-new deep wine. Base trim levels come with leatherette, but you can opt for Varenna leather or Nappa leather in the top two trim levels for an even more elevated experience. Not only that, ambient lighting adds an extra-special touch.
You’ll find new standard features in the upcoming Atlas, such as a power liftgate, rear sunshades, front and rear park distance control, and more that add convenience to everyday life.
Comfort features include new air vents in the B pillars, available second-row seat ventilation, and a 12-way ergonomic driver seat with enhanced four-way lumbar support. Higher trim levels step up comfort with driver thigh support and an available four-way massage function for the front seats.
A Power Boost
When it comes to performance, you can look forward to more horsepower this time around, thanks to the new EA888 evo5 turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder TSI® engine. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this robust engine boasts 282 horsepower, which is an increase of 13 horsepower compared to the 2026 Atlas, and produces 258 pound-feet of torque. Even with the power boost, you can expect improved fuel economy.
Like the 2026 model, the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Front-wheel drive is also standard, but you’ll have the option of upgrading to available 4Motion® all-wheel-drive for enhanced performance.
