CORRECTION: There are Memory Seats!
Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport? What would you pick?
Cross Sport.
Love the back of the cross sport.
Atlas, more room the better
I'd like to get Atlas cause I need 7 seats!
I like the front look of older atlas more
It was sleek
Every time I see how many subscribers this channel has I get offended, should definitely be above the 1,5 million mark
Best part was Joe and Lori Raiti reviewing the "business end" of the Cross Sport behind you! 🤣
Awesome as usual buddy! Love ur energy! PS: I see Joe & Lori in the Background filming the blue one, haha!
A mild hybrid system for increased power would have been a welcomed addition for this new in-line 4 and therefore is a missed opportunity by VW in order to provide a more spirited driving experience for this quite hefty vehicle. It's already outpowered by the competition.🙄
The interior is vastly improved and looks great now.
Excellent review.🙂👍
Very nice presentation, the first one whitout people walking arounded. Thanks so much
shoutout to Raiti's Rides at the back LOL 1:00
Memory seats are located by the seat switches. Very nice.
Yes made that mistake. Added a pinned comment to correct. Thanks Chris!
Love this review! I'm currently looking at Tiguan R-Line SE and now tempted to just wait if the enhancements are as good as the Atlas. Please show us 2024 Tiguan R-Line when they do come out officially. Hope they change the media screen as that is my top complaint in the 2023.
Hello everyone, I have a 2021 vw atlas, nice and spacious. that's all. only a few months the check engine came out, if there is 20x it came back to Volkswagen dealers here in mississauga canada. still under repair. hazt! then there is also a recall. and last time I searched about vw. That's Volkswagen's weakness. engine. So, they changed the engine this 2024.
hopefully they will solve the weakness of the Volkswagen engine.
Nice video, I currently own a ‘21 Atlas. This interior looks like a much needed improvement!
Thank you for all these reviews. Very informative. Your channel is amazing.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Awesome video man
I have a 2018 4 cylinder and was waiting on the 2024 to upgrade to a v6. I love the upgrades but I’m disappointed about not having the V6
Can you please tell if you had any engine issues or any other mechanical issue. What i heard they had problems with engine especially in 4 cylinder. Otherwise how is your overall experience
@@1babafaisal we had a 2021.5 atlas v6 and would have to say it was one of the worst vehicles we ever had. A lot of issues mechanical and electrical. The scariest issue was when my wife was driving on the highway with out new born when the car all of a sudden shut off. We traded that piece of shit right away only had it for 6months.
Nabil p thanks for replying. I heard the same thing even though I tried to get one of my friend but when i read online reviews i backed off from this car.
@@1babafaisal good idea don’t make the same mistake I did and ignore the reviews lol
cars for the European market, especially from mainstream brands like Toyota or VW, did reduce the number of cylinders in their engines from V6 to I4 because in Europe and some Asian markets, the V6 has too high emissions and it will tax the car's emissions, so they downgrade from V6 to I4, America has a different emission policy, so American cars are not only big, but also have large cubic capacities and lots of cylinders.
Love the auto show energy 😉 Great review and comparison.
Saw one of these and was shocked by the immense size.
Well named.
For context I drive a Polo.
4 banger? cmon. wtf!?? here i was waiting for tiguan to have the V6. i hate this 4 banger turbo shit companies are all going to.
Ditto.
@@atlfun08 Yeah, I know. I sell them for a living. Same thing when Ford dropped the V8 for Turbo V6. Heck of it is, that turbo 4 is one strong motor. You can tune that thing to put out massive power, very cheaply. It has 5 main bearings, and the main bearing caps are cross-bolted. U can push 500HP plus before doing anything to the lower end.
Nothing wrong with the turbo v4…unless you’ve had a 3.8v6 for 7years. 😂 But a turbo is perfect on the highway…really nice but just driving on street with all the starting and stopping and low speeds…that’s when it’s like ugh…not quite the same. Just a hair to golf cart for me. 😅
@@atlfun08 its the sound of 4 banger along with turbo lag. V6 has a more assured power all along the RPM range....plus the sound of VW's VR6 sounds awesome.
It does have memory seats, they are on the bottom by the control seats
I saw the video, tapped the video, and didn't realize this was a Volkswagen until it was said in the intro. This thing looks so much like a Ford SUV on the outside. And the red paint too, I feel like I never see red VWs.
Hey thanks for tapping and watching though Devon!
Volkswagen in 2022: We’re getting rid of haptic controls on the steering wheel!
Volkswagen in 2023: Here’s the new Atlas with haptic controls on the steering wheel!
My wife's 22 Tiguan has tactile buttons on the steering wheel and touch climate control. The 2024/2025 Tiguan is supposed to be going back to the tactile climate controls and losing the soft touch
Love the vids! I just subscribed. I still like the cross sport hate it's no more V6 but I'll hold out for the 2024 since I was looking at getting 2023.
Mike, nice video and thx !
Giving us some serious Doug DeMuro vibes on this review Mike 😂
Love your reviews homie! When can we expect a full review preferably of the Cross Sport version in your channel? Thanks.
I'm surprised that the Chicago auto show doesn't have a dress code like ripped jeans with the knee caps showing
Chicago car show is dying slowly, but definitely it will become meaningless show for car industry. This year, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Jaguar, Lincoln, Land Rover have no show.
3:35 Imagine all the doors opened like that Russ
It’s a bit of a big vehicle for only a 4 cyl engine, I can’t help but feel it’ll be a bit sluggish. Amazing video nonetheless!!
The VW group is very good at making powerful turbo 4 engines. It’s not going to be sluggish.
I liked the red one how much is the price ?
I have a 2018 Atlas SE w/Tech and I LOVE it. Have been holding out to see if the 23 or 24 would be a year for change. Got excited to see the 24 was the redesign and loved what I had heard and seen so far. Until I heard that the climate control is now part of the infotainment center and it touch control. You are now forced to take your eyes off of the road to adjust you climate and won't be able to do so by touch. The question is, can you make adjustments while the vehicle is in motion, or do you have to come to a complete stop. I know in my 2018 Tiguan SEL that I had and now my Atlas, you have to be non mobile to make any radio, phone, or menu adjustments. My wife's 2022 Tiguan SE has the touch climate controls and you have to take your eyes off of the road to try and make adjustments and it sux. VW needs to go back to tactile buttons and have ppl keep their eyes on the road.
Good job with your reviews as always bro.
Is this car going to launch in India?
My question is why does the Cross Sport have such a bad rap with buyers who said they've never buy one again after owning it?
Now I'm confused. I wanted to get the new Grand highlander upon launch. But I think this looks better , especially the inside
😂
Go with Toyota...
@@togurilee1548 Yeah, you're right. Especially since the Toyota is much more reliable compared to Volkswagen vehicles. It's a better long term investment.
@@baroneleve1196 And grand highlander has more room
I’d go for the cross sport.!! Btw where are the parking assist/auto park switches? Hope they’re still available (if not on physical buttons)
Volkswagen thay đổi mẫu thiết kế liên tục không còn thô cứng như xưa đây là chiếc xe đáng trông đợi của năm 👍
Nice video!! I'm getting this next year 🎉
Have a 2020 vr6 4 motion and looking to get the full size as family just grew just in time for the update loved the new interior hoping for wireless carplay
Georgeous design ❤
Yes!! I definitely want to buy one!! 🎉
What's the mpg?
I like the Blue one
uh why does that gear shifter look like a thimble?
I love it I have a 2020 for my wife cross sport and I’m deff getting tbis for her only negative is the front kinda looks like ford focus should have kept it more vw style
Look below the driver's left thigh - bam - seat memory switches.
Nice video and I see they added a lot of bling. I would like to know what they did to increase power was it just a tune or what. Also as far as towing going from #2000 to a #5000 rating seems a stretch for the 2.0 and I would like to know what they did to justify the increase.
I have a 19 with the 2.0 and really like it.
I'd rather have the Pilot's interior over this, no matter how small the Pilot's screen is or how "dull" or "outdated" the Pilot's interior is. Hard knobs are always more ergonomical that capacitive sliders, especially when looking at the road. As a smartphone analogy, why do the latest smartphones still have volume rockers instead of volume sliders? It's because it's more ergonomical.
Red one ❤
I watched this hoping to talk myself out of a Q8
Is this comparable to new grand highlander? Or even Mazda cx90?
Grand Toyota, yes. Mazda, no. Mazda is a rear wheel biased all wheel drive with either an inline 6 or PHEV. Mazda will have a smaller interior if that is the deciding factor. Mazda is great for a family of four (or five if the little ‘uns stay little) but the Atlas is really capacious.
Awesome presentation 😁👏👍
Love the look of it but I probably will get the 23 with the v6. I want to see this thing tow two motorcycles on a trailer with a full family in the back with motorcycle gear tools and so on. How long will that 2L last.
Wish VW’s had good fuel economy and introduced hybrid engines. 30+ mpg combined should be the MINIMUM acceptable efficiency figure.
Cross Sport!
Does the top of the line, fully loaded all options really have no seat memory button? Bummer…
It does, we just didn’t see it. Made a pinned comment to correct that error. It’s lower on the seat.
People that do reviews on cars should automatically have to have a stroller with them for SUV reviews. I dont get why nobody does this. That would show and tell everyone how much room something has.
I can honestly say, the back row of the Cross Sport has massive leg room and cargo space!! My 5'9" kid fits back there comfortably with the front seat all the way back!!🙃
I believe that. I was talking about the back back cargo space. Can I have the 3rd row up and still fit a double stroller and 3 suitcases back there cause that is on the low end of what a family of 5 needs for traveling when the kids are young. But I do appreciate you confirming the 3rd row has plenty of room. That is good to know.

Interior is very nice ! Atlas vs Grand Highlander ....close
maybe in terms of luxury the atlas is better than the Grand highlander, but the atlas has too much gloss black which gets dirty easily and rarely physical buttons, but the GH has more power, is more roomy and maybe the resale value is also high because they are toyota which can make future investments
Assisted parking gone too?
Red ❤
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this crossover here unfortunately I'm not a fan of vw
Does that front end look like a Ford or is it just me
I do too! But it’s better looking
MURAD form Toronto 🇨🇦👋👌 blue one
Killer look
Super nice #Volkswagen 🏆
Will it reach in INDIA 🇮🇳?
Auto makers need to remind us all the time we bought. Obviously they think we are stupid.
A great aesthetic VW Atlas but less functional compared to my 2018 VR6 4Motion Atlas! Great fun review!
They're so obsessed with those fuel numbers that everyone forgets that a small 4 in a big and heavy vehicle such as the Atlas, will put lots of strain on it. If it was a Diesel 4 , OK, but this will be trouble. I'll keep my VR6.
I like the Atlas Cross Sport better for the sport look and cargo room.
Cargo room!? Folded 3rd row seats will give you a lot of cargo room, more volume than cross sport.
3:14
also what truly counts these days : availability of the vehicle , lol
Not a fan of the Atlas fenders, Cross sport looks weird with the low roof
V8 engine, better than anything
Front look ford expedition
Pity that VW doesn't offer these functions and quality in India, they're probably on a mission till packup.😢
How much did you pay for the haircut?
The 6 banger sucked anyways. At least with the 2.0T you can tune it for over 300 HP.
❤❤❤❤
2024 and no memory seats??🤦🏻♂️
NO that was our mistake, it does. We made a pinned comment noting our error.
I wish I could get another Touareg instead.
Liked getting the Atlas when traveling for work. Solid drive but lacked the interior luxury. Now they added some luxury and took the V6! Noooooooo!!!😅😅😅
269hp isn't that bad
What's this guy's name? He is 😍🔥👬💍💘❤️. I need him
Finally. The interior was terrible on the last model. That was the only thing that kept us from buying.
Still playing catch up Volkswagen need better features the memory seats needs added back vented seats need added better voice commands feature and stop with fake exhaust some of ur models have real .....step it up more
🙏🙏
The 🚮 unreliable 2.0t motor is a real deal breaker
Ma anche questa è bellissima.
Ricorda un po' le macchine americane.
Weak shit, but looks nice
You have the best reviews.. Sadly, the Atlas does gives up the vast majority of its physical controls in exchange for touch-sensitive ones which are huge complaints and I just can't get over the front end reminding me of a Ford Expedition. Doesn't really compare to the likes of the CX-90 or even the Toyota Grand Highlander.. the VW Atlas is the kid you pick last in high school gym glass for dodge ball...this feels more like VWs one last ditch effort to increase the sales # before they put the Atlas out to pasture....
Reply
It is not true that toyota is having less powerful engines for its SUVs. VW is a failure and that is why it is selling less vehicles in US.
Where are the Audi bits and pieces?!? Just kidding. Thoroughly enjoy your channel, presentation and video quality.
As to the Atlas, and everyone’s mileage may vary, except for interior volume just cannot see this comparing well to the new CX90 unless VW actually cuts their prices (they won’t).
Those rims are so ugly! And yes that engine is horrible! You think it would be much better being they make Audi
The new dashboard and specially the touchscreen is absolutely 💩 100 touches to get one command executed……cheap plastic
Terrible infotainment interface. Old gen was better
Should start wearing a hat again.
Great review!
Unfortunately it seems VW - like GM and Toyota - are intent to soldier on with features that the critics and many consumers hate. Eg piano black everything, capacitive touch instead of buttons, sloppy suspension (I’m guessing it goes unchanged), decontenting, etc.
But those are the 3 largest manufacturers…. They’re not going to change their mediocre ways until mediocre people stop giving them their mediocre money.
Устаревшая передняя панель и экран
All Bark and no bite!!! Not worth it ! Only idiots will buy this rather go JEEP
Looks like a Ford expedition from the front
