The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line Is A Budget 3-Row Audi Q7
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- As the biggest SUV in the #Volkswagen lineup, the family sized #VolkswagenAtlas gets a very extensive makeover for 2024. While it is just shy of a full redesign, this #Atlas in the fully loaded SEL Premium #RLine trim brings it one step closer to its more premium #AudiQ7 cousin. However, unlike the Audi, the Atlas has more power, more interior space, and slightly better fuel efficiency for significantly less money.

Bought this over grand highlander and telluride. Love every minute in it.
I am looking at pilot or grand highlander. Why did you choose atlas. Other than features, what made you go here? I am asking because I am leaning to Atlas as well
It has great presence in person especially at night and a luxurious interior with ambient lighting. I’ve received lot of compliments about the vehicle. It’s not a performance vehicle but I still think it offers a lot for the price.
@@ikeikegwuonu2834 don't take Atlas, I have 2019 and quality is horrible, constant warranty repairs since 2k miles. Maybe I wasn't lucky, but recently when they had to replace catalytic converter (63k miles on the car) they gave me 2024 Atlas as a loaner, and the mechanical quality was poor. Interior looks great the Android like touch screen only without volume knob is horrible, but mechanical I could spot out assembly issues visible. My next car to be Palisade. Korean manufacturing is way ahead of USA, and Atlas is made in Chattanooga TN, go there and see who is potentially working at the factory. There is no way for quality
I got the 2019 vw atlas. V6 4motion. Terrible gas mileage.
Definitely more solid than both.
I had a 2018 SEL V6 4Motion. It was a great car and surprisingly reliable! If I ever need a large SUV, I would get another one. The Atlas in general is underrated.
Lol. 2018 and Reliable. It better be for a 5 year old car. The key word here is HAD. Beautiful car but it's Volkswagen after all not a Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot 😂
Well mine from 2019 is not reliable at all. I keep having all kinds of issues from 2k miles. Recently check engine at 60k and random disability of engine auto stop. The radiator is leaking since 8k and VW simply won't fix it under warranty. I when added a die and did UV pictures to show the dealer and yet they still refuse. Had problems with suspension. With radar, with cruise control. Man I got some cursed car
I had this car a few month back as a family hauler and so far, I think it's perfect for us. First of, it's very spacious. It can accommodate 2 adults in the 3rd row seat easily and doesn't make us feel uncomfortable for a long trip. Second, the drive-train is smooth and refine. The ride quality is good with quiet cabin and minimum wind noise / road noise. It makes a few days road trip for family a breeze. Of course it makes body roll when entering the corner but that's to be expected with a big SUV. The steering is light for easy maneuvering in the city and getting harder once you have some speed in the highway. Thirdly, the engine is quite peppy with early torque in the low RPM and it only needs regular, not premium gas. All the driving assistance are there (adaptive cruise control, emergency break, lane changing assistance, etc), even with the lower trim level. Last but not least, the infotainment system which receives the most criticized, is quite intuitive ONCE you get used to it. For the volume and temperature control, you're not supposed to TAP it, but rather TOUCH and SLIDE. The infotainment screen is big and bright and the touch screen is very responsive, unlike the tiny screen in some competitor like Honda Pilot, or small and non-touch like Mazda CX-90. Once you're familiar with it, you never miss the old knob and physical buttons. All in all, it's the epitome of an all-rounder.
Had a 2019 Atlas SEL Premium. Absolutely loved it! I am happy to see the engine upgrade though. The VR6 was a little lacking in power and didn’t get the greatest fuel economy (17mpg city/23 freeway). But, we loved how spacious it was, it handled very well, tight turning radius, incredibly good Fender sound system, huge panoramic roof, great visibility, nicely optioned, etc.
Those types of engines are usually much more reliable. The 4 cyl with the turbo won’t last as long or be as reliable
@@snacking5908well, we have a 2018 atlas S FWD 2.0T (base model) with 83k miles and counting. Problem-free since new. Normal maintenance only.
@@Somerandomblackdud3 can’t go wrong with the sienna. I’d love to get one and I only have 1 child sometimes. I just want it for the practicality
@snacking5908 nah these 2.0 4 cyl turbos are pretty robust if you take care of them
@japanwatchconnection the comment was about a 2019 vr6. Where did the 1995 statement come in?
Kudos to VW for offering a second row bench on top trim models. I love that. 2nd row cooled seats are becoming more common so that would’ve been nice. It looks really airy inside and The door pocket storage is really nice.
Beautiful SUV….it is my shopping list (palisade CX-90-telluride)….it has everything you need…Interior room, leather seats, two good size screens, premium sound system, ambiance lights ….and great look from the outside
Great video! Looking for a new family vehicle and appreciate your detailed review. Funny side note, saw where you were on the nav, know the park where you did the exterior shots, and you drove past my old development at 23:40.
Great Family SUV overall! I still have my 2019 atlas SEL premium 4 motion! zero issues 53 thousand miles! I replaced my previous Toyota Sienna.. which was great too!
Wow, for contrast I have 2019 SEL 4 motion and issues all the time. Maybe I got completely faulty unit. 63k miles and went like 10 times for warranty repair, starting with 2k suspension, then radiator, radar, and so on, and recent check engine
crazy how much these 4 bangers are pushing out!
I have a 23 cross sport sel vr6. I love it. I wouldn’t call it spacious but the dogs like it and there’s enough room. I am 6’6” and about 3:35. I have huge shoulders and tree trunks for legs. My dream car is a Stretched hot rod Chevy Nomad with a LS swap and headsets. The Atlas I just bought is a lot like a fun rally car. I love it. It was inexpensive as far as cars go. What I truly love is it looks almost exactly like an AMC Eagle which was my second car way back in the 70s. My uncle gave me a lot of cars to drive so for perspective my first car was a K5 GMC Jimmy. I tried to drive a Beatle and a Porsche one summer and well I was just uncomfortable. I really do love my Atlas.
Interesting, I currently have a 20 SEL R line VR6 Cross Sport. I'm just over 6' and do strongman and find the inside to be pretty damn massive. The rear seat room is huge. And loads of space in the hatch for a family of 4.
But I have a test ride 24 Full sized atlas in my driveway right now that I'm going to pull the trigger on Friday for. Love it. Feel smoother, same or faster speed, and the ride is much nicer then my 20. Not sure what they did but it feels much smoother and nicer to drive. Mpg has been much better then my VR6 in our tests so far.
Looks great! ☺️
Glad to see they finally upped the interior to look more luxurious as opposed to the usual industrial look....the few interior fumbles aside.
I can't wait to see however, how all of these heavily boosted 4 banger engines hold up over the long term after lugging around 4k pound + vehicles.
True for all of the SUV in this class. Some just offer hybrid versions.
The best looking in this class definitely 👍
Style is subjective. Plus looks and reliability are 2 different things 😊
@@wazgoodjj I didn’t mention reliability because it’s brand new and comes with warranty 😅
Still think it’s the best looking one , and this is only my opinion 😅
@@wazgoodjj the Grand Highlander looks so bland compared to this.
I like the Mazda better but this is right up there.
They made some great updates on this! Good job VW!
Great family SUV. We are a family of 5 and purchased our second VW this year. Our old Atlas was a 2017 SE which was very reliable, safe and practical. The new one is still a great value in the SE with the technology package. We like that the materials in the Atlas are easy to clean.
You did the smart thing, sort of upgrading to a newer model. These cars have some of the worst resale values among SUVs. I guarantee you were upside down when you updraded. Next time go with a Highlander and save $$$ 😂
@japanwatchconnection I purchased the Atlas at Steve White in Greenville, SC in November 2017 and drove it home that day. It was a 2018 model.
This is a hell of a nice SUV. I love it!!
I have the cross sport 2024 and like it a lot
Like the color & I will buy this SUV one day.
I have a feeling that boost number was without the atmospheric calculation of 14.5 so it really is making 19 psi
Definitely was. Otherwise without AP my GTI boosts at 41psi 💣 😂
Same, I almost lost my mind given it’s so far above the golf r or tubed gti thank you!
Been a minute since I have watched the channel. I have a 21 SELP Tiguan R-Line and am considering moving over to the Atlas, but would only once again go with an SELP R-Line. I wonder how long it will be before Unitronic comes out with a tune for the drivetrain. I would only purchase if I knew that tune was coming before the end of the 24 year. I am questioning however the 35PSI for that turbo. The power numbers are quite low for that. My turbo Yaris build which has a 1.5l at 19PSI hits more power.
I have a 2021 Volkswagen atlas. My wife had a deer in May 7 months ago Volkswagen is not making parts for this car. We can’t get it repaired and Volkswagen cannot give us a date on when they will be manufacturing hoods and bumpers in the other things needed to repair the car, I would not buy a Volkswagen atlas or a Volkswagen of any sort. This is a true story and we are very distraught as we are paying for the car and insurance and it will be sitting there for maybe a year or more. We don’t know do not buy a Volkswagen.
You should reach out to news stations or consumer advocate organizations maybe they can help..
Lemon it if you're within your states limitations
While I don’t need a car this huge, it is very practical and I like how Volkswagen has included a lot of standard equipment. I don’t know if people will buy this over the Audi Q7, its more luxurious platform mate, but hey, more power to them.
I drove both Atlas & Q7. Major keys is in practically & drive quality. If you want more drive quality then go with the Q7, but if you want more space go with Atlas. Yes Atlas give you more space. Although both car already consider big
@@Michaellllllllllllllll Yeah an Audi Q7, VW Atlas, and Audi Q8 are all literally the same car, and are literally really big for the average person. Although, I'd go with the Q8 since I like the look of it better, and it is not as big it seems as the Q7 or Atlas.
BINGO!!! I have a 2020 Q7 and LOVE it. This Atlas is the right price. New to New and saving over 20K this Atlas is worth consideration for sure! I think the interior looks great. Better than many Mid size SUV's. The Mazda CX90 is beautiful inside. But this Atlas looks great now
@@Michaellllllllllllllll
The Audi Q7 & Q8 are the same but different configurations and body panels. The atlas is actually solely built for the US market on its own frame from VW group. The Tourag ( Not sold in US anymore but sold overseas is actually a Q7 essentially and Porche Cayenne) which share the same chassis . @@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan
I'm one of those people. We cross shopped Q7, Lincoln Aviator, Cadillac XT6 and she would look at Mazda with me, which was a bummer.
Have a 24 Premium R line Atlas sitting in the driveway right now on a test drive. Doing paperwork to own it Friday. Love how it rides and the space and mpg are good for a large SUV.
Great review as always. I just can't make myself like the Atlas.There's something about the hard angular wheel arches that screams 'commercial vehicle' and 'unsophisticated' to me. And on a completely different note, what is that huge amount of boost pressure going to do to engine durability in the long term? I'm not confident...
VW makes the best 4-cyclinder on the planet (which is why they put it in everything). But its still a turbo, and the added complexity will always be an issue over its non turbo counterpart.
One thing that I find unusual is that VW doesn't put a Homelink rearview mirror in their top-of-the-line cars. It's an option to be installed after delivery.
Because after multiple reviews on VW he still has not read the manual, you can turn your heated seats on without going into the screen. There are also 4 buttons under the screen that you can use to quickly access menus in the system. And another dig at capacitive buttons on the steering wheel even though this vehicle does not have one. BTW the capacitive buttons are better. You can raise the volume with a swipe instead of multiple button presses up or down.
I don’t think you can do heated seats without going to the temperature menu?
Hard to call them buttons, it's like touch screen "buttons" you touch on purpose and nothing happens, you touch by accident and it take action. Not for everyone
Wish this was around a year ago when we were looking. The interior turned us off. It looks much better now.
Someday, I buy new 2024 Volkswagen Atlas.
I am not sure about the 4 cylinder turbo charged engine, though. I have a 2021 atlas r-line. It drives very well with all the bells and whistles, but the v6 feels light for the car. The car is pretty big, so I am not sure if the turbo-charged 4 cylinder will do any better than the v6.
This four banger has more torque (but not more Hp), so what's not to like?
I think this version of Atlas can definitely compete with the 3 row segment favorites. Not sure if anyone here knows, but I felt the 3rd row is higher off the floor than in telluride or palisade. Makes it slightly more comfortable to ride in.
I second this, after a trip at the autoshow, this is the only 3 ROW suv where the floor is flat in the 2nd and 3rd which means (and I measured) that the 3row is 2 inches higher than all others (Telluride, Grand Highlander, etc.) which makes a BIG difference for your knees in the back
The interior is alright. Makes more sense than the Tiguan. The exterior doesn’t look as good as the previous model though.
Crazy that this needs 35PSI to make 269hp where the FA20DIT only needed about 17psi.
A 2.0?
Can anyone tell me about the compartment underneath the front cup holders has a picture of a key?
If your FOB dies, it has a RFID in it that, when very close to that icon, will allow you to start the car
Italians are going to have problems with that hand waving infotainment feature
Those boost numbers can't possibly be right. Good looking vehicle, tho. Really like the wheels.
Yeah they calculate the pressure wrong
They call this SUV the Teramont in my native country. I don't know witch one sounds better.
You forget to include important info on your reviews. The sound system. I have 2019 Atlas and my kids complain no sound on the back. Yeah the Atlas didn't have speakers for 3rd row. For contrast Palisade does have. So question, does 2024 Atlas has the speakers for 3rd row?
I believe the SEL premium has 12 speakers so must be some in the back
all those soccer moms drag racing from home to school will be perfectly satisfied with this acceleration…
THAT AMBIENT LIGHTING THO!!! It is wild! Plus the VW logo lights up on the outside too. This is not the ride to use when you are trying to secretly get away from the killer. The minute you turn the Atlas on all the lights come one too, inside and out, and you are dead.
I always prefer the ability to for user to control all the lighting. Turning on/off those vanity light should be a user option in the infotainment.
We will missed the VR6😢
Awaiting for more big engine, min 2,3
3 years ago poor handling and fuel economy had us opt for the cheaper / better equipped / more efficient Subaru Ascent and we couldn't be happier. But looks like the latest revisions have upscaled the Atlas even further, and very interested in the new engine performance.
There's no way that thing is doing 30+ lbs of boost...
Yeah it isn't, don't worry
Very handsome car. I wish they’d offer it in Europe
I believe outside of America, the Atlas is called the Teramont.
Although there is an Audi version of the Atlas coming eventually. It’s already been seen in spy shots on the Nurburgring.
Audi Q9. Look it up. Expect it to come around 2025.
@@faheemabbas3965 A different car. The Atlas is designed and built in North America for North Americans.
Genuinely curious.. about the horns. I’ve watched your channel for years and I’ve always seen you criticize the horns. Which ones have you deemed satisfactory?
I miss VW’s old door chime
35 psi I'm going to wait till more reliable reports come in
Get a pilot or grand highlander then
Then you will wait for long
That number Is wrong,it's more like 17 or 18 psi ,they don't calculate it right
I'm gonna miss the V6.
This world and these things are just for rich peoples not for us... love you volkswagen
I just wish Toyota dealerships weren’t marking up everything. Thank you, musulmaan.
The front end looks like the Ford Expedition
The only reason to buy this car was because of the reliable v6 motor. Now they replaced the motor to a 4 cylinder turbo on a full size SUV. Also note that its running 35 pounds of boost which is insane speaking in terms of reliability. Most turbo cars will run about 10-20 pounds.
That engine is gonna blow its top
Say that to my 83k miles, trouble-free since new 2018 base model Atlas 2.0T FWD.
It won't cause it's not pushing 35psi, 17 18psi max
34lbs of boost is a lot of pressure. I’d be wary of longevity
Start button = Silver color. Park button = black button. “VW should differentiate” 🤔 come on bro!!! 🤦🏻
I just wish the window trim would be black instead of chrome.
Agreed. I always prefer the chrome delete.
Same!
I have 2 neighbours that own these cars and although I love the interior space and comfort ergo’s… I’d never buy one. They are in the shop all the time and it’s always electronic gremlins.
They're pretty reliable tho, and the 2.0 turbos are pretty robust if you maintain them
Having owned both, this is an apples to oranges comparison. The atlas is a roomy capable sponge of an SUV, also the R line used to be more than just visual package. What a joke....the Q7 is a sporty, more capable and far nicer vehicle. We only miss the rear captain chairs in the atlas!
You should film this in a parallel dimension where getting an Atlas is like getting a 911. It will improve your numbers.

Love the looks but with ALL that boost, good luck after warranty is over...
Good luck with your year one VW comment getting to everyone
@@naveenthemachine you got it
Its not pushing that much boost, they calculate it wrong, it's actually only pushing 18 or 17 most likely
I think Touareg is Q7 brother. This think is bigger
For this 6 or 7 passenger vehicle, I would like to see the test include the equivalent of at least four passengers and their luggage, each passenger of average weight of about 175 pounds, and luggage of about 35 pounds each, 4x(175+30), for a total weight of about 820 pounds. The numbers with just the driver and maybe a camera man is not representative of how this 6 or 7 passenger vehicle will be used.
Can you compare honda or
Tyota relybilty to vw ?
The simple anser is nooooo
It’s really hard to consider these with better engine options Hybrid/PHEV/More power from most competitors. It’s unfortunate only Audi gets the more powerful options.
I think this is a great engine and decent performance for sure as a base or mid line engine! BUT They really should offer a boosted VR6 with the S Line. That 3.6L engine sounds damn good. Put a light turbo on that thing and this would be a low 5 second 0 - 60 lol.
@@GaGe56Me
How much power ya need, Dom Toretto? (It's a family hauler...)
You forgot the Audi cost $15k more. Although there is no direct comparison to the Atlas which is exclusive to VW.
That amount of boost pressure in such a heavy 4 cylinder SUV... Those piston rings will be bleeding oil at 100k miles.
I don’t see how the push start button being the same shape as the p button would be hard for anyone who isn’t remedial😂😂 if you always start from the top button you’ll develop muscle memory.
Agreed 100%. He has to complain about something.
I think it becomes an issue when your in a hurry. This could be easily misjudged.
@@J-W.-if it isn’t turned on idk if it would be much trouble
My neighbor has an Atlas and you can hear her brakes from a mile away only 14k miles 😂
35 lbs. of boost will kill this turbo way to early. Too small of an engine. If they want to put in a 4 banger, they should do a hybrid.
Well it's not actually pushing that much ,it's more like 19 or 18
Needs a power adjustable steering column. Its also time to get rid of the center console mounted shifter and start button. These are family vehicles, and that means copious amounts of storage. The shifter take up all that otherwise very usable space.
In addition, cup holder should always come with a cover so they don't become littered mini trash bins when not in use. The car could also use some bump stops on the sliding seats. That "clunk" at the end is very cheap sounding.
On the bright side, the rear view USB is a very unique and special item. Too bad there's not one in the rear. The black chrome is a good idea, and I'd expand that to the interior and the infotainment display. Digital rear view mirror is a definite need for all SUVs. Especially for those coupefied types. Too bad the Germans haven't yet adapted that convenience feature.
Call me crazy but i would take this over a q7
I thought i clicked on a video for a ford expedition
Don't know if this can truly stand up to the Palisade
I bought this over the telluride
@@tyh7121same. 2018 Base model 2.0T FWD. 83k trouble-free miles since new and counting. Interior space was a huge factor over the Telluride and Palisade. It has more interior room than the Tahoe and is close minivan-levels of interior space.
35 psi boost, just be ready to pay 3k for blown head gasket just before 70k miles
It's not actually pushing 35 psi ,it's more like 18 or 17 psi, cause they calculate it wrong
They could’ve given it 300 hp, the ford explorer has 300 hp. Just saying.
Most people that buy those SUV , they don’t buy it for HP. Those are family car
@@GaGe56Me yes, the Explorer ST has 400 hp
Great video. VW needs to dump the turbos and put a 100HP electric hybrid system to greatly increase the performance. VW has a fantastic Performance Hybrid that is faster, gets better MPG, and way out performs this old, outdated turbo 4 cyl. Once again, a MFG're pushing this outdated technology. WTF!
Sadly that turbo is not going to last for long
Sure it will. This isn't 1980.
Its not pushing that much pressure, its more like 18 or 17
As someone who used to love Volkswagens, I stay far away from them now… let me tell you once that warranty expires then you’re screwed… a lot of local mechanic shops, tire shops, auto repair shops, will not touch Volkswagens. They say those cars are a mess to work with. Not because they are bad cars. But because Volkswagen makes it impossible for anyone to do any maintenance or repair work on them. Their cars require special tools and parts that many mechanics don’t have. I mean it’s not just a Volkswagen, but mostly European cars. I get it, European cars use different parts. But it’s particularly Volkswagen that makes it even harder than any other European car to work on in the US if it’s outside a VW dealer. It sucks because it’s literally impossible to keep this car long term unless you’re financially stable and don’t mind spending thousands of dollars a year on maintenance once that warranty expires. Volkswagen makes it to where you have to rely solely on them. And that’s where they lost my respect.. just be careful when you purchase a Volkswagen. Know what you’re getting yourself into.
The engine bay was designed for the VR6, so there's lots of room to work.
These automakers going to realize that TURBOS aren’t the way to go, I love when folks come in the dealership where I work to get turbos replaced around 55k miles or 90k miles 😂😂
Bud I have a 2014 ford fusion titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost, it has 217k miles on it and drives like a champ, with regular maintenance. I also have a 2017 f150 with the 2.7 ecoboost and that has damn near 100k. I have not had any issues with any and nor has anyone I know that has them. Get over yourself bud. 💀
Sounds like you don't know much about engines. Turbo have been a very efficient solution to power and economy for a very long time. They keep getting better and better every day.
Turbos are the way to go
Toyota: **laughs in making turbos since the 1980s**
I hate to say about my 2018 VW Atlas Sel R Line, which gave me many issued after 40K. Many parts (water pump, radiator, sensors) failed and i end up sold it to get an Acura MDX. Never VW again.
I know these are not sports cars, but the sound of that engine is just bad. Almost 35lbs of boost and you get less than 270hp 💀 I do like the refresh in the interior and looks on the sel R
Why do you always brake torque fir a speed test? Nirmal drivers don't do that al all !!
Brake torquing allow for a higher boost of turbo charged car. But he doesn't "always" BT. He generally does both.
So they increase the quality of this car but decrease the quality in their other models. Like why!?
Because these sell more.
Business 101. Vehicle brands like VW are meant for leasing not financing
@@alvinsimba734 that tells me nothing about that
I'm not super sold on the new Atlas Cross Sport because the 2.0T seems like too small an engine for such a large, towing capable SUV. Just to put into perspective, my Audi A4 2007 had this same motor and it didn't even have towing.
I think VW should've added a turbo to the 3.6L v6 engine instead of going with a smaller motor. That would've increased mpg figures and also added more power to the vehicle.
I also don't like the interior of the car which is too touch screen dependent. I kinda prefer the recent year Audis where those middle of the cabin screens where hidden inside the dash. Plus in my view, its much safer to have physical controls for things like climate control, instead of a touchscreen. This is also one of the reasons I dislike Tesla touchscreens.
I mean the touch controlls are a bit much, but I'm a big tech guy so I like that, and the engine is perfectly fine for the normally daily driving, and powerfull enough so that it won't be dangerously slow
It does, but that's true for all the cars in this segment. You'd have to move up to luxury to get more power.
under powered imho, it should be at least 300hp ideally 330hp with 350-380tq
The Golf R engine is 320, but to get to that level of torque you're going to need the VR6 which unfortunately VW no longer produces.
Did this before 4 months ago what change nothing . So why review this atlas when you did this before 4 months
Had a 2019 SEL Premium. We were probably in the dealership every other month (No exaggeration). Least reliable car we ever owned as the car lights up like a Christmas tree with some kind of electrical fault often. Some of the problems we had were water leak from 1st row dome light, water leak from trunk from bad seal, air bag failure code, adaptive cruise control error code, ect. Battery died right at 36 months of ownership as well and front rotors were warped before 36k miles. These repairs are extremely expensive as VW is a euro car and require special parts and coding of ECU.
That’s funny, our 2018 Atlas S 2.0T FWD (base model) has been trouble-free since new and has 83k miles and counting.
Our atlas is the base trim however and doesn’t have any extra safety features and parking sensors. I think that helps with reliability.
Am I the only one that does not like the rear taillights? It’s giving 2007 Lincoln mkx and to me that rear looks so ugly.
I wouldn't call it ugly, but its certain not head turning or memorable. Its just a generic rear end.
I would not recommend towing anything with that 4 cyl engine.
not a burl wood grain(although it is fake)
No Auto Hold function even in 2024.
No VR6 anymore? I’m out.
Sadly, the VR6 is dead and it doesn't look like its coming back. I would have loved to have seen a tuned VR6 R version of this SUV. I'm sure they could have gotten it past 400 hp. But I doubt many North American buyers would have opted for it.
Give me hard buttons, Please !!!!!
Small engine. Big turbo. Shortened longevity. You'll be strapping a new $3500 turbo in less than 100k miles
It’s 2023 bud, not 2015. This vehicle will be just fine and will last.
Nah, I have a 2015 Kia with 160k miles and the turbo has never been a problem.
@@JackSmith-qi7dr What model?
VW and Audi have had vehicles with a version of this engine for years making even more HP than this version. EVO 4 refers to the 4th gen of the E888 engine.
Turbo reliability has come a long way in the last 2 decades. Also matters how you drive it too.
Snake on the ground?
If audi uses this engine, than it's not a good one.
0-60 in 7.7 seconds? Bahahahaha…. Not acceptable in this price point!
It's fine for a big suv,it's 7.1 not 7.7, Honda pilot is slower
Wrong. Its competitive.

AMERICA refers to both continents, North and South America, as a whole, and most people around the planet knows that. But americans, in their eternal arrogance and self-righteousness, think "America" refers to the US only.
Do you understand now, or should I draw a map for you?
@@hbm_54 dude, you are annoying. This is all semantics anyways. Anyone that isn’t trying to argue for the sake of arguing knows what he meant.
I'll take the Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander over this anyday. 😊
Good luck making your salesperson one rich motherfucker
Really ,I mean I guess reliability , but this is better than both in looks and tech,I would take this over both of these, I don't like the Honda pilot I think it looks weird
Looks are subjective. My 2009 Highlander is pushing 180k and running just fine. Yes, reliability is a huge deciding factor.
I had issues with 2021 highlander starting with an oil leak. Started leaking after 1500 miles. Toyota had to buy the car back of which they didn't want to do.
I did have one in the past, but there was no issue but bad experience.
More reliability, if that's your main concern. but not as sporty.
Stuck on tablet display looks cheap. It should be integrated into the dash.
Sorry. Not buying any WOKESWAGONS 😆
What's the reason my guy
