Great review, thank you! Wish VW would make the ambient lighting from the the dash to the door more of a continuous line rather then take a few inches of strip lighting off at the corners and end. Also, when the weather lighting is turned on, are those fog lights at the bottom or are they active in the same housing as the headlights?
Thanks to your reviews and headlights reviews i chose my Vw Atlas SEL 2022, i really like this videos. Just a suggestion, you should make a tier list or a score system to rank headlights and night illumination based on your experience. Greetings from Chile, south america
If you have bending lights, then you can code them to have adaptive high beams. it is called dynamic light assist, simple to activate. American Arteon also supported this out of factory.
Great video. How is the headlights visibility compare to other suvs in this category. Can you suggest which suv has the best headlights with corner lights
Thanks for the information. I just picked up my 3rd Atlas (Lease) Peak Edition. I don't think this one has the VW symbol when I open the front door like my last one. Is this true or am I missing something?
Any ideas/info on why some cars have the second project (high beam) always on even when not in high beam mode? Im very curious as I see more and more cars do this now. Does it just put the high beam light where the low beam is? If thats the case does high beam just shift light instead of add light? Thanks!
It is very dim. Mostly for aesthetics. What's interesting is that some vehicle have a fake projector (Mazda CX-50 comes to mind) that never lights up, high or low beam.
100% all that engineering and this was missed,,,,,,pretty much any haptic or physical control temperature or volume nob in the industry is illuminated.
Yes, it is adaptive and disabled. Second facelift brought dynamic light assist to Atlas, in the US it is supported but illegal. So people just code it on their own.
After all that lighting engineering they did not illuminate the temperature control gauges it’s completely black below the main screen display but they decided to illuminate your feet.
so basically at night when you want to change temp or turn vol up or down, you cannot see? What logical reason would VW come up with not back lighting below the screen. What a brutal oversight. Lack of lighting on center stack/storage bin is also terrible. This would be a pass for me.
Steering wheel control for audio volume is far more convenient than going to the screen, even if there was a backlit hard knob. It’s not hard to put a quick tap on the temp slider, or hit the (lit) ‘Clima’ shortcut button below the screen and then adjust on screen. It’s automatic climate control anyway, so I don’t need to do much temp changing.
American cars have it disabled, poor weather lights should also lower the low beam and make it wider, but illegal in the US. Atlas supported for a few years now, coding of high beam assist.

@@MikesCarInfo Just as information, parking lights are dimmer than DRLs, I also thought about your comment on them not blinding, it is because they're dimmer than normal, not for use during the day as DRLS for example.
Excellent video, I have the Atlas R Line, it's the first VW I've owned and I love it. Thank you for the video (well done)
Looks great night! VW does ambient lighting very well.
I love that little hand!
Me too 😂
Great video especially the window sticker
Nice touch
Good video.. needed to see a night video.. just bought one.. almost bought the Honda hybrid..
This was a great video. Much needed 🙏🏼
I love your night time vids & I buy this soon.
Excellent video my friend. Thank you.
great video, i just got mine & i love it.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Awesome videos as always....so detailed!
Nice lights on the VW. If only their reliability were as good...
I never knew that little yellow hand can light up at night!

So what about the cross sport sel can it do that without the R line?
If you swipe down on the main screen. You can put a shortcut to a lot of things, including lighting.
Hi mate, what is the dash cam you use to record?
Great video 📹 👉
can you do an at night on the Cadillac xt4? i looking to purchase but want to see what it looks at night

Just a question - what does the inner lights besides the reverse lights do ?
It seems like they are only reflectors.
Did you have any issues with the temperature and volume buttons/sliders under the infotainment screen not being backlit/illuminated?
Yes, it is a problem. I forgot to mention it because they are invisible at night. Big fail on my part.
@@MikesCarInfo More like a big fail on VW's part!

well done headlights I think the high beam is adaptive but as always disabled!!

My 2023 V6 Cross Sport is very different...
The fact that the volume and temperature slidwrs arent lit at night is horrendous.
It really isn’t that bad in that you get used to it and there are alternatives methods for adjusting each
Easy.. it’s one click on the lighted info center and you’re fine..
They missed one thing - not a suicidal (nor horrendous) issue. Name one perfect car with nothing missed.

I agree. Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.

I hate downsizing no v6 anymore
The new turbo 4 is better - trust me. I have owned 3 VR6 V-Dubs - this engine is better off the line and 50 to 80.
It does have a camera that you access with out putting in park and drive
1. You didn't show how DRL look like
2. The auto unlock option with proximity should have been shown too
1. Yes, I did. They turn on with the parking lights.
2. The result is the same as pressing the unlock button. The viewer would see the same thing.
