Great video! I just purchased one this week but this would have saved me a ton of time trying to research the difference! The sales person at the lot where i purchaed mine did not knkw the differences that well, therefore i ended up not getting a feature that i thought was included. Im still pleased so far, tho! I just appreciate your knowledge. I think another thing to note is the trim that has the ambient lighting that changes colors. I don't think this was mentioned
I am so glad I found your video, you have saved me so much time on research! You are good at this job! I’ve owned my Telluride for 5 years and looking to get one of these or a new Telluride. I can’t wait to take the Atlas for a test drive, definitely looking at the top of the line model 😊
What’s not pictured or included in this lineup is the SEL Cross Sport which would be right after the Grey SE w/Tech I wanted the SEL but they didn’t have one in Grey😢 I got the SE w tech Grey. A very nice SUV
Wish you were in LA. My 2021 atlas se w/tech lease is coming up next year and im really looking into either another lease or purchase. Was looking at the peak edition but now the RLine premium is somewhat calling my name 😅
I was looking for a video comparison (and they’re hard to find) as someone who just bough t one. I had to do pick up and missed the overview part of the car purchase. This was very informative. I didn’t see you show the head up display, I think the premium has it. I feel like I told them take it off and now idk how to get it back. Also premium has power mirrors. That was a deal breaker for me. So I think it’d add something to the video. I purchased this car for ambient lighting as well. It’s brightest on this truck compared to like an MDX. My kindergartener wanted light like her uncles EQS. (😩) However it’s a bummer that the premium doesn’t have another distinguishable exterior something. I had to look up my car to be sure that’s what I brought bc I couldn’t remember. I DO wish the side mirror dimmed at night. My other car does and it’s so helpful when lights are blinding at night. Anyway. This is a really good video. Thank you. Ps. I see older models with the bar under the doors. I wonder if I can get that added.
I have a '23 Q8 Premium Plus and looking at this I cannot believe the similarities. I think I would probably do a stage 1 or 2 for the Atlas engine. But this review and vehicles are really impressive. I wonder how it rides.
When does the heads up display kick in? Also, can you push the front seat back and comment on the leg room for taller drivers and taller back seat riders? Last question, has any of your customers wrapped or painted the wheel trim molding? I feel that would really be a great addition to this vehicle.
I wish that VW would off the Atlas Cross Sport with Faux wood trim and all beige interior in the 3 Row Atlas. It would sell much more. Can you special order one???
Thank you for the video ! What did u mean by standard sunroof on the white one ? Is it better on the grey cross sport ? I didn’t really see a difference? Can u explain please? :)
The SEL trim (and above) comes with the panoramic as a standard option. The SE does not have the option for a sunroof and the SE w/Technology has the panoramic sunroof as an available option.
@@vwguru Thank you! for the 6 year no charge maintenance is that only at your dealership? I'm out of state on the east coast however the 10 year 200K is nation wide correct?
I have a SE 2024 i dont know if its me running the hell out of air..due to Alabama's hot summer! But this joker burn the hell out of gas to be a 4 cylinder
piano black?...when are they going to get rid of that crap???...fingerprints, smudges, scratches, dust...it's nasty looking after just a few months...and VW keeps putting in all their vehicles from VW to Bentley...especially Audi.
These vehicles are all gorgeous!
This gentleman is the standard when it comes to VW reviews. Very thorough and informative information. Great job ! 👍🏼

Very nice video. Thanks!

Great detailed video
Glad you liked it!
Which trim starts with the "Cross Sport" working on the dash that lights up in the ambient colors?
SEL and above.
Changing our 2022 Premium r line for the 2024 black pearl Premium r line this month. Thanks for the video
You are welcome!
@@vwguru we love our 2024
Wish you were in LA. My 2021 atlas se w/tech lease is coming up next year and im really looking into either another lease or purchase. Was looking at the peak edition but now the RLine premium is somewhat calling my name 😅
Don’t forget the ambient
Lighting standard on the SEL
You are correct.
It is a car to go for, my question why are the newer cars come without fog lights?
The ONLY car that has foglights currently , is the Golf GTI
we're going to get the SEL Premium R-Line, hopefully in December...love the Audi 8, Bentley, Lambo, base platform look and stance.

Do the backseat extend backwards?
They recline back at an approximate 35° angle.
I have a '23 Q8 Premium Plus and looking at this I cannot believe the similarities. I think I would probably do a stage 1 or 2 for the Atlas engine. But this review and vehicles are really impressive. I wonder how it rides.

Head Up display kicks in at the SEL/SEL R-Line level. I have not seen anyone wrap those, but it has come up from time to time.
I'm 6'5" and I have an inch or two head room! Back seat as well!
Great explanation for the trim difference
Thank you!
can we have the lighting package added to the se to illuminate
Not that I am aware of.
You didn't mention the heads up display on the SEL models.
You are right! I missed mentioning it!
This was the video that was needed. Thank you. One question: Which has the best speakers?
Definitely the SEL Premium R-Line.
Thank you for the comparsion video, I'm curious to ask, Is the 10yrs/200miles powertrain warranty national wide or also just dealer specific ?
Nationwide!
I wish my dealership had deals like you. I’m in Yuma, AZ
@@Ralphypoopscome on up and see me!
Have A question is the phone charger the top cover is that something you have to pull or just touch to close?
Touch to open or close.
So the biggest difference between the top two trim levels is just the sound system? Or am I missing something?
The Premium adds power folding mirrors, Park Assist, diamond stitched leather seats, 360 camera, 21" wheels, and Harmon Kardon Audio.
Hello does the sel r line come with a privacy screen in the rear???
No. The privacy screen is not a standard item.
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Does the SE tech come with ambient lighting (the lighting up of the “cross sport” across the dash)
No, only SEL and above.
I wish that VW would off the Atlas Cross Sport with Faux wood trim and all beige interior in the 3 Row Atlas. It would sell much more. Can you special order one???
Base model is very impressive for the $$
It is!
No v6? No sale!
Thank you for the video ! What did u mean by standard sunroof on the white one ? Is it better on the grey cross sport ? I didn’t really see a difference? Can u explain please? :)
The SEL trim (and above) comes with the panoramic as a standard option. The SE does not have the option for a sunroof and the SE w/Technology has the panoramic sunroof as an available option.
Great job and they on require regular unleaded gas, it doesn’t require premium!!
Would you recommend an RLine or peak edition ?
I like both! Hard choice, but I think I would go R-Line all the way!
for the SEL are you able to get black wheels like the SE/ Tech?
No, not from the factory. Just get them powder coated.
@@vwguru Thank you! for the 6 year no charge maintenance is that only at your dealership? I'm out of state on the east coast however the 10 year 200K is nation wide correct?
Will there be a blacked out version?
Allegedly there will be one in the 2025 model year.
Does the SE standard have remote start?
No, it does not.
Thanks!
Awesome Video.
Thank you!
Are the quad exhaust tips functional?
No. They are faux.
To bad they replaced the awesome music 🎶 from the VR6 with a popcorn 🍿 fart four banger machine!
Very informative, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
"With Technology" still not sure what that means..........?
Good video!
Thank you!
I have a SE 2024 i dont know if its me running the hell out of air..due to Alabama's hot summer! But this joker burn the hell out of gas to be a 4 cylinder
Use "Eco" mode, but it will engage the auto Start/Stop shuttoff.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
I’m buying an atlas and their Volkswagen financial rates are not bad for 72 months.
piano black?...when are they going to get rid of that crap???...fingerprints, smudges, scratches, dust...it's nasty looking after just a few months...and VW keeps putting in all their vehicles from VW to Bentley...especially Audi.
