I am very impressed with these 2024 changes. Im even more impressed that a lot of the features are standard across the board on majority if not all trim levels. Having the Digital gauges, and the infotainment screen and heated steering as standard is a shocker especially since you have to go to the top end trim levels to get these features. It definitely makes lower trim levels feel like a very good value.
Great idea to have the sound level comparison on your website 👍👌
I like the way you guys show the main panel with panoramic view from the back seat and also by using a tape measuring cargo capacity! Next time spend an extra 10 sec to measure also the width. 😊
It's good that you did the road noise test up north as well. Alot of us live up this way and most of the roads are terrible lol.
This mid-size Suv segment is super competitive. I love the overall style of this over the refreshed Pilot. The 2024 may have made my 2024 top non-luxury SUVs.
Recently bought a 24 SE w/ Technology. Really miss the knobs and buttons. Too much time and attention on the screen and less time focused on the road. Plus, its difficult to use the screen while driving over bumps in the road. Solution...bring back the knobs and buttons.
Gotta say I have watching lot of car reviews and you guys have it covered the best. Covering even sound levels which is amazing. Awesome job guys.. makes it a lot easier to decide when shopping around 😊
Thanks! So glad we could help!
Gotta say, Car confections have improved a lot since 2021
Keep it up guys, yall already seem perfect and every video, some improvements felt...
Always use your videos for reference. Thank you for literally being the ONLY people who even touch on the sound system. I would like to know how the standard sound system compares to the harmon kardon.
Glad to hear that! Thanks! (PS: VW did not provide us with any trim examples with the standard system)
Great review. I would love to see a feature comparison video between this 2024 Atlas SEL Premium and 2023/24 Palisade Calligraphy.
NYS Route 28 is one of my favorites, ran a job over there some years ago. Try it again in the fall!🍂🍁🍂🍁
I’m really liking this refresh. I wish the instrument cluster/screen had the blind spot video with turn signal. I’d consider it to be perfect (without test driving)
Great review guys❣️🤗
Thank you!
Love the review! I live in upstate New York and take the road you guys were on frequently (Route 28 thru the Catskills) and can attest to how pot-hole filled, patched and re-patched (poorly), the roads up here are! Can make even the quietest car, like this Atlas, louder in the cabin. Hope you tried the Phoenicia Diner while up there!
Thanks! Beautiful area! We actually did have lunch at the Phoenician!
One thing you guys don’t include are reliability stats based on any brands past records.
Standard cooled seats is a game-changer
Huge improvement compared to the predecessor. It looks more upscale inside and out. I wish there was a V6 mild hybrid option for this size SUV. However, the new 2.0 turbo engine maybe enough, would have to test drive it.
This was an awesome review. Our 2024 SEL Premium R-Line gets delivered in a couple days from the factory.
Thanks, and congrats on your upcoming new Atlas!
That drop off into the hood bay! 🫣
I just got my 2024 Atlas!!! So much room for my family.😊
Can you give me the price out the door for reference, and trim thanks
Fantastic review, wow NYC looks different 😉
Yeah it's like all the buildings disappeared 😂😂
The telluride has nothing to worry about and tbh nor does the grand highlander. Id rank both of them above the atlas
The Mazda CX-90 over this everyday....
Love this
Wonderful looking suv, but what bothers me the most is why the hell does it idle so loudly? That shouldn't sound so harsh as a new suv? 😐
Thanks
What specific color is the gray?
What is up with everyone ditching there v6 ‘s 50k+ is way too much for a turbo 4 very disappointing
The Atlas looks great!
It’s nice! I love the bleepers 😂
Was this the silverbird metallic?
It's the same engine that works so well in the Audi Q5.
Love the refresh. Does this 2024 Atlas finally get brake hold feature when stopped at intersections?
It does not, unfortunately
What's the matter , your foot on the break peddle getting to tired?
Could you guys show us the night video please 🙏 I want to see what the light bar , emblem, ambient light inside back and front looks like because I might trade in my 22 Tiguan R line black for the Atlas Se tech . thank you
Hopefully VW will loan us one for a week test in the next few months so we can film a night review for ya
I'm sold ❤
The All-New 2024 Chevy Traverse is coming for the 3rd generation
I hated the old Traverse design, but this new model looks freaking awesome! I'd say this Atlas and the Traverse would be the two I'd debate between purchasing if I were in the market.
The traverse 2nd row and third seems meh. However their engine & 1st rom looks better than atlas
@@Michaellllllllllllllll3 rd row seats are lower but have more legrooom
Yeah chevy coming for their heads! Its been a long time coming...looks way better this atlas..i better see heated seats n cooling seats plus a heated steering wheel in that chevy though!
I would never buy a Traverse...lol.
So i can look at atlas while waiting for tow truck is it a booklet or a pdf
I know it's different segment, but crazy that still nothing beats a maxed out Palisade for $52k. Still the "most vehicle for the money". (I know there's always markup, but it is on everything. I'm talkin about sticker prices.)
Markups are absolutely not on everything. Any perceived value goes out the window if you pay a markup.
Palisade has the wind noise problem unfortunately
I don't think the Palisade is that cheap anymore. Top model is going between $56 to $58k.
I am thinking of getting an Atlast to replace our Tiguan, which has been bulletproof but getting too small. The red looks nice but the other color options are so boring. Kingfisher Blue is only on the CrossSport? Lame. When the original Atlas came out there were some great color choices.
You won’t regret it. We have a Tiguan and Taos and got rid of the smaller Taos for the atlas. The extra space is so nice. We got the cross sport though once we actually looked at the 3rd row. Usually only have 3 of the 4 kids at a time too. One can drive himself.
I went with the Opal White Pearl and I am very happy. The black one makes the chrome pop way too much. I would say the Silver might be a great option. I quite haven't looked at the red one too close. Definitely this engine and transmission setup has been a big improvement over the V6 that always felt lacking and odd shifting. Plus very poor MPGs.
As always, nice video!
The SEL premium is 52k+ and the SEL starts at 48.5k, and there doesn't seem to be that large of a difference between the SEL and SE/tech package (41.6k). The price of these SUVs has gotten out of hand. I spent about 45k for my last vehicle, but moving forward I plan to buy the base model or a trim level above base if it makes a difference in towing capability. Six year or 72-month car payments is now the "norm" and I think that's ridiculous. No judgement, but I do not understand for the life of me why anyone would finance a vehicle for six years. I mean if you finance a vehicle for that amount of time can you really afford it? I understand some people have no option if they need a car to get to work, and that's the only way they can afford to get into a reliable inexpensive car. However, if it's only a matter of buying a higher trim level, I don't think that's good for consumers or society as demand drives up costs.
Good point. Most people these days tend to buy vehicles they can't afford
No one can afford these vehicles. This is why finance terms keep getting longer. GM offers/advertises 84 month options for everything
@@llcross04the point was that finance only that much amount that you can afford to payback without compromising your livelihood.
@@blinDTiger0.01usually that means buying a 5 year old or older car. That’s fact 💯
That initial acceleration looked painfully slow!
What about the resale value for VW atlas 2024 and Fuel economy
Here before 1M ✋
Like the color & I might try to afford one guys.
The bad points of my VW Atlas 2024 are
You can’t put the seat heat ON at night in order to have a warm seat or steering once you start the engine at morning inside your house
Secondly
You can’t put the car on Eco mode permanently
But we have to change to eco mode every time we start the car
I think comparing it to Telluride is not fair.. This is in longer segment and true competition is cx90, grand highlander and traverse
IMAGINE THIS ENGINE EA888 hybrid ❤
This should have been a hybrid. I hate the consumption of my Tiguan and was waiting for an upgrade.
The engine in the tig is trash, that b cycle engine should have never been put in anything, this is supposed to be a detuned golf R engine, just wish it got a dsg instead of the lazy 8spd.
I should have waited. Got the 2023 four months ago. I don’t have complaints, just like this one a little better.
I never liked those fender lines above the actual fenders
Missing a power thigh extension like almost all the competitors are offering.
I notice you keep the sunroof open on sound tests. How much do you think it effects the measurement?
*sunshade. And not one bit. Nowadays the shades are about 1mm thick and Atlas is actually transparent it's so thin
I'll wait when I can get the top of the line for $40k new.
Do the rear seats recline? A lot of car reviewers seem to forget to mention whether the seat recline or not and how much they recline.
Yes, they do
@@CarConfections thanks!
Giving up the V6 was a huge mistake. Turbos just run too hot and don't have the longevity of a V6.
A deal breaker if the steering is soft, preferably want a firmer steering, and dislike body rolling when turning. Volkswagen atlas should consider putting a performance dampers due to the big size.
23 combined mpg is actually not very good for a 4-cylinder engine :S - I currently drive a VW TAOS and I get 40 mpg on the highway on 70 cruise :-O
Of course it's a much smaller car but 23 combined comparing it to the CX90 that has a 6 cylinder and has better fuel economy :S
I mean it’s still an suv so ifc it’s not going to get sedan mpg
It’s a piggy and not aerodynamic
I have a 2021 Volkswagen atlas. My wife had a deer in May 2023 and the autobody shop has not been able to source a hood or bumper. This is left us with a car payment and insurance but no car to drive. Volkswagen cannot tell us when they are going to start to manufacture, hoods or bumpers, even though they’re pumping out new cars with the exact same hood or bumper I would not buy a Volkswagen atlas or any Volkswagen because they are not manufacturing parts to repair their cars.
I think that the Volkswagen atlas would be a good family car.
Inside is so nice, but why the hell did they leave off BRAKE HOLD?? Insane to have a technology car a modern car without it. Anyone commutes love this feature, otherwise you'd keeping your foot on the brake in heavy traffic, your ankle will kill ya.
Im looking for a family hauler just checked this atlas and it looked so nice and right after i went to honda and chrcked pilot and right away honda looked cheap and outdated with such small screen and it was the elite one!!
Would go with Mazda cx90 any day
Let me give you guys real comments. Those top 10% rich people, most likely never watch your youtube or posts. Most viewers are mid income level or a bit lower. So if you could, do some video on lower trim levels. I searched about 30-45 minutes but I can't find any reviewer or posts of lower trim levels. Besides, the rich people? They will buy just for fun of it, but not VW..Audi or Volvo as the lowest levels. Think about it. You will get more subscribers when you listen and act for REAL people who wants to buy
I like the back ligths
The U. I. For the sound system looks like it’s straight out of an 80s juke box.. cmon VW!! Also over the type air updates would be great.
@japanwatchconnection do your own homework Forrest
The problem with most of these options for any segment is in the US, anything European is going to be insanely expensive to maintain and repair. Sure they are nice but the cost makes it not make sense to buy one here. Japanese and Korean cars are still way cheaper in the long run. I’d stick with those cars, especially Japanese.
Tbh Japanese and Korean are still expensive to maintain vs American brand
@@Quinton0520 I don’t think they are plus they are much more reliable so you won’t be repairing it as often
Why can't more companies do all safety systems standard. Makes no sense to not.
Is it totally new 4 or just same old 2.0 with bigger improved turbo ?
The 4cyl VW motor has had reliability issues
As much I like the VR6 in theory, it severely lacks torque and makes a painful rev out. The previous 4cyl turbo was adequate even on mountain inclines. Now I will say the turbo 4 had LOTS of engine failures, and they didn’t bother refining, its basically a “tune” on the new motor, YIKES
Lol wrong, Evo4 engine same as the mk8 gti with a different tune. The limiting factor now will be the 8spd transmission should have gotten the dsg.
That’s exactly why I got the 4 cylinder myself. I live in the mountains and the v6 had to scream up very large hills. When the 4 cylinder barely was working at all.
Thanks...but no thanks....I'd take a 68 Bug or a 76 Rabbit 😊
For such a big vehicle 4cyl turbo or not isn’t sufficient
No volume knob. No HVAC knobs. No V6. Lousy warranty.
Makes me want a Telluride or Pilot that much more.
VW better focus on Audi Porsche n Bentley, instead theyre taking the good stuff from those brands and turning themselves into a full blown luxury brand
Anything with a touch sensitive/capacitive feature is an automatic pass for me. You can adjust anything if your driving and trying to figure out the temperature. Your just asking for an accident.
An accident?
I have a 2019 i bought new. I can't think of anything I don't like about it. I will never buy another one however. I'm not driving a little whiny 4 cylinder that can't get out of it's way until the turbo spools up. Nope. They ruined a good car. If I wanted a little whiny vw I would have bought the Tiguan. I'm thinking Honda Pilot next time.
Lack of physical buttons is really annoying
Finally vw changed something
IDK about Resort wagon Atlas I'm more of an Audi Q7 fan
It shouldn't be an outrageous proposition for VW to compete with the Korean brands. VW has plants in Mexico rolling out their flagship models. And yet VW can't seem to calculate a profit and a good product from Hecho en Mexico.
@japanwatchconnectionCheck your research on the Golf for the US market, son.
I find it interesting in this day and age, but a petroleum-based fake wood is on the dashboard as opposed to the renewable resource of natural wood. We can always regrow trees and they are 100% natural. Petroleum-based plastics produce a lot of byproducts. And take forever to break down for recycling. The same can be said for the seats, again, petroleum products versus a natural cowhide. Cows are being used for food anyway, why not use their hides? 😎
No plug in hybrid is a pass for me
More like watch out for the Atlas as the driver is distracted from driving while busy trying to adjust the settings for the audio and HVAC. VW should be embarrassed for designed such an ergonomic mess with the interior and deleting physical knobs for the audio and HVAC...but don't worry folks! VW is giving you an illuminated VW logo so the tow truck can find you at night when you're in the ditch! LOL
Hahaha exactly
I agree with you that the sliders are not optimal, however you get used to it quickly and normally you wouldn’t change your temperature settings often.
The volume slider is more often used by passengers since you got the volume control also on your steering wheel.
can you get rid of the 3rd row?
You can buy the smaller 2-row version called Atlas Cross Sport. We have a review on the channel if you want to see what's different
oh, ok. Thanks . I will check it out@@CarConfections
First
Telluride here:😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh wait you are serious :😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂 😂😂😂😂
No such thing as a nice piano black.
A VW turbo 4 is not a new motor and it's far from adequate for a large SUV. That thing is going to be boosting 100% and the failure rate will be trash.
Not everyone strap in their dogs while driving, touch sensitive buttons are not ideal. Those paws can do more than you think.
Watch out Telluride? The new 2024 Chevy Traverse is the new King!
Telluride palisade are the king still
@@naveenthemachinenope. 2024 Traverse is definitely the new king. Go check it out.
Immature simpleton
Not with that claustrophobic 3rd row windows and lack of hybrid powertrains prevent it from the top spot. A Hybrid and new v6 powertrains will be coming to the next gen Palisade/Telluride siblings to compete with the Grand Highlander.
Funny thing is the traverse already out sells the telluride right now ha
Boy do I need to disagree about the Telluride and handling. The Kia drives like an absolute boat. Nice vehicle and all that but the body roll is awful.
If you gonna buy this car why not just get a Bimmer! Then you might get a chocolate big booty honey like me boo boo! Buy that Bimmer if you want cakes like mine! Get it together boo!
The engine is too small. 2.0 L 4 cylinder..... no way
Here before Anti German/European Car complainers start voicing their peasant opinions
Nah. The current Atlas is so disappointing disappointing that I have no interest in VW anymore
@japanwatchconnection We have an Atlas. A 2021. It's so average. So, keep talking about what you don't know. 🤡
That 2lit turbo is growling like a angry lion yelling.....please stop stressing meeeee😜😜😜😝😝🤪😝😝😜🤪🤪😝😜......made it worse from V6.....turbo small engine will decrease engine life.....lets see who buys it.....acura mdx, pilot, palisade, kia are all better engine V6👍👍👍👍👍
⛔ Looks CHUNKY and trying to hard. Plus, its a VW...years of 401k, IRA and Heloc loans for endless repairs.
Maybe a refreshed Honda passport with V6 would be a good choice in the segment
Mazda Cx-90
There no replacement for displacement I got the vr6 and I ll like to see that little tiny l4. Towing 👎👎good look
I stay with my Telluride. I hate the design of the car.
