2018 Volkswagen Atlas First Drive Review
The first thing you notice about the newest Volkswagen is its name stretched across a large chrome strip on the rear tailgate. And it’s missing the T.
AtLast. It should be called the AtLast because it’s a good decade and a half overdue. Then again, given the tongue-twisted names of other VW crossovers (Touraeg, Tiguan), maybe we shouldn’t complain.
Alas, the Atlas is the latest entry in the crowded midsize three-row, seven-seat SUV segment. It competes directly with the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, and, to some extent, the five-passenger Jeep Grand Cherokee.
It also looks like many of those vehicles. Or most of them, in fact—the Atlas looks like everything and nothing, just like one of those renderings used in insurance companies’ advertisements. Its styling is inoffensive but also devoid of any clear family resemblance to other VW products.
And it’s huge by VW standards. The Atlas is 9.5 inches longer than the Touareg, and its rear seat does something few of its competitors do: It fits full-size adult human beings. This isn’t a seven-seater just on paper, and accessing the rearmost two seats is fairly easy, thanks to a middle row that slides and tilts forward. That’s a good thing because there’s a new Tiguan on its way to take up five-passenger duty.
The Atlas is also far less expensive than the Touareg—and many of its competitors—starting at just $31,425. That’s a theoretical price, though, because it’s for a base model that won’t be available at launch and in a spec few will want. The base Atlas uses VW’s 2.0-liter turbo-four, sending 235 hp and 258 lb-ft to the front wheels only.
Most Atlas customers will wind up with a 3.6-liter VR6 (narrow-angle V-6) under the hood. Excluding a limited-availability launch model, the Atlas realistically starts at $35,915 for front-drive and $37,715 for all-wheel drive. That puts it in the ballpark of the established players, albeit with a small premium over a comparably equipped Honda Pilot.
With a claimed curb weight of 4,502 pounds, the Atlas is a heavyweight. The big six-cylinder has its work cut out for it, and its 276 hp and 266 lb-ft should be enough to drag the big VW to 60 mph in just under 8.0 seconds. Thankfully the VR6 sounds better than any of the V-6s in this class, and it’s commendably smooth and quiet in its operation. The sole transmission, an eight-speed automatic supplied by Aisin, shifts smoothly, but a huge gap between second and third gears leaves the Atlas without an ideal passing gear when you need it most—in the 45–65-mph range. And fuel economy isn’t a strong suit, with preliminary EPA mileage estimates at just 17/23 mpg city/highway for the all-wheel-drive six-cylinder Atlas.
At highway speeds, the VW��s cabin is suitably quiet with occasional wind noise as the only real nuisance. The ride quality is excellent—aided by a long 117.3-inch wheelbase—though big bumps can send structural jitters through the cabin. Cornering grip is good, and the Atlas will use all four tires as it approaches its handling limit. Proof, in some distant way, that it uses the same basic architecture as a GTI? Sort of.
Where a GTI is dripping with personality, the Atlas just isn’t. Our test car’s interior was a sea of black plastic and vinyl with Volkswagen’s trademark no-nonsense interior design. The primary ergonomics are excellent, the touch points (steering wheel, armrests) are padded, and the seats themselves are all-day comfortable, but many trim pieces use hard, ungrained, cheap-feeling plastic. And although the new infotainment screen is slickly integrated behind touch-sensitive glass, the navigation system is, in typical VW fashion, nicht gut.
The highest trim level (the $49,415 SEL Premium) is the only way to get leather seats, a Fender audio system, LED taillights, and a digital instrument cluster that replicates some of the functions of Audi’s virtual cockpit. It’s not worth it—the vinyl seats are fine, the taillights are for the enjoyment of those behind you, and the digital dash doesn’t offer much real benefit. Lesser-equipped models are just fine—all Atlases come with full-LED front lighting, for example. A full suite of semi-autonomous driving aids is available, including active cruise control with stop-and-go functionality.
The Atlas’ only major miss is that it has no single standout feature. Without the Mazda CX-9’s interior quality and exterior styling, the Hyundai Santa Fe’s 100,000-mile warranty, the Ford Explorer’s available EcoBoost power, and the Honda Pilot’s and Toyota Highlander’s perceived reliability, we wonder how exactly Volkswagen will attract customers. That old “German engineering” tagline is a tough pill to swallow in the days after Dieselgate—and especially on an SUV designed specifically for and built in America.
This is a crowded segment full of established players, and the Atlas is a fine entry, but a wallflower arriving late to the party will have a hard time getting noticed. Let’s hope VW comes up with some clever way of marketing its new, biggest-ever SUV. Maybe they should have called it the AtLast after all.

Trước thềm Geneva Motor Show, các hãng xe đua nhau “nhá hàng” những sản phẩm con cưng của mình, ông lớn Volkswagen không nằm ngoài số đông. Đế chế ô tô nước Đức vừa hé lộ chiếc SUV cỡ lớn Volkswagen Touareg R với hệ truyền động plug-in hybrid mạnh 455 mã lực, cùng với đó là ngoại hình mạnh mẽ hút mắt cùng nội thất nhiều tiện nghi.
Volkswagen Touraeg R với 445 mã lực, sẽ là chiếc Volkswagen Touareg mạnh nhất trong lịch sử dòng xe này, tính đến thời điểm hiện tại. Đây là phiên bản hiệu năng cao của Volkswagen Touareg thế hệ thứ 3.
Mẫu xe sở hữu sức mạnh đáng kể cùng nhiều tùy chọn vận hành, khiến cho Touraeg R tỏ ra “nuột nà” trên mọi địa hình, mọi tốc độ. Chiếc SUV sử dụng động cơ xăng tăng áp V6 3.0L kết hợp cùng động cơ điện của hệ truyền động plug-in hybrid, tổng công suất lên đến 455 mã lực và mô-men xoắn đạt 700 Nm.
Xe có 5 chế độ lái (Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport và Individual), 4 tuỳ chọn đi địa hình (Offroad, Snow, Gravel và Sand) đi cùng hệ dẫn động 4 bánh toàn thời gian 4Motion. Nhờ cụm pin dung tích 14,1 kWh, Volkswagen Touareg R có thể chạy hoàn toàn bằng điện ở chế độ E-Mode với vận tốc tối đa 140 km/h. Khi sử dụng cả động cơ xăng và động cơ điện, Touareg R có thể đạt đến vận tốc giới hạn được nhà sản xuất thiết lập là 250 km/h – một con số khá ấn tượng. Bạn đọc có thể đợi đến thời điểm ra mắt chính thức để cập nhật thông số kỹ thuật đầy đủ của Volkswagen.
Bên cạnh sức mạnh khó bì, Volkswagen Touraeg R còn gây ấn tượng với vẻ ngoài ấn tượng. Mang phong cách đậm chất thể thao, Touraeg R hiện lên mạnh mẽ nhờ các đường nét cứng cáp, gãy gọn kết hợp cùng những chi tiết trang trí sơn màu đen như lưới tản nhiệt, hốc hút gió, cản xe hay la-zăng hợp kim.
So với phiên bản tiêu chuẩn, Touareg R có thêm một vài trang bị cao cấp như hệ thống đèn chiếu sáng LED ma trận, tuỳ chọn cỡ mâm từ 20 đến 22 inch. Ngoài ra, logo R xuất hiện ở đầu xe, 2 bên thân và đuôi xe càng làm nổi bật sự khác biệt cho Touareg R.
Touareg R là một mẫu xe toàn diện cả về vận hành và thiết kế. Ngoại thất bắt mắt, còn nội thất thì cao cấp hiện đại. Nội thất của Touareg R mang đến cảm giác sang trọng nhờ các vật liệu đắt tiền. Cửa và bảng tablo được viền nhôm màu bạc Silver Wave còn ghế ngồi bọc da Vienna cao cấp. Một loạt tiện nghi hiện đại phải kể đến là hệ thống điều hoà tự động 4 vùng, màn hình trung tâm 15-inch, bảng đồng hồ tốc độ 12-inch, hệ thống loa Dynaudio công suất 780 watt, cửa sổ trời toàn cảnh panoramic…

Dream Garage
Warning! ~ This lineup will probably see multiple revisions as time moves inexcorably forward & my tastes undoubtedly change. The list compiled herein is a reflection of what traits & characteristics of specific cars speak most to me as an enthusiast. I will attempt to keep it as up-to-date as possible.
I have generally imagined myself in my automotive dream world to have a 2-car attached garage with a spot to park a third car outside in the driveway. Of course, in my unrestrained daydreams, I am certainly not limited to just 3 automotive selections. On the contrary, I have always dreamt of having a ‘carriage house’ capable of sheltering an additional 5 cars. This brings my hypothetical total to 8 cars. Now, included in that figure, would be my wife’s car(s). So the dream goes something like this. I would want to have my wife’s daily driver as well as my own daily stored safely in the attached garage, with a third optional utility vehicle of some sort parked in the driveway. Could be a truck or SUV. At the moment, I am inclined to define these 3 options as follows:
My Daily = 2019 Toyota Corolla SE Hatchback (Blue Flame, 6spd manual)
Wife’s Daily = 2017 VW Touraeg VR6 Wolfsburg Edition (Reef Blue)
Utility Vehicle = 2016+ Honda Ridgeline RTS or Sport AWD (because IRS)
Now the fun part. Here are the 5 cars at the top of my short list to have parked in my pretend carriage house:
Mk4 Golf GTI 20th Anniversary Edition (Jazz Blue w/LSD)
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 GT (black w/Camaro 20" wheels)
E30 BMW 325i or 325is (w/some sort of ///M swap)
Ariel Atom 3 (that’s right, not the 3S)
991 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring (because the RS wing is overkill)
And, just for fun, here are some honorable mentions left outside looking in:
2008-2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt (Highland Green of course)
9th gen Honda Civic Si sedan (last of the VTEC Si’s)
C6 Corvette Grand Sport (because stingray gills)
Mk1 & Mk2 VW Golf GTI’s (w/VR6 swap)
2015+ Fiat 500C Abarth (black w/red decals & wheels)
Mk7.5 VW Golf R (stage 2 = supercar slayer)
Jaguar F-Type Coupe V6 S manual (amazing soundtrack)
Superformance Corvette Grand Sport replica w/LS376
2018+ Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Q4 (because Alfa)
2002-2003 AP1 Honda S2000 (supercharged, blue on blue)
Please, let me know what you think of my selections. I do intend to do small featurettes on each of these choices going forward to explain a little bit more about why I chose each, & specifics about them that make them particularly special to me.

Help sought after woman disappears from North Carolina motel
The family of a Pennsylvania woman is seeking the public’s help after she disappeared after a stay at a North Carolina motel.
The Wilson Times reports local police say 32-year-old Sianeh Togbah Sherman stayed at a Sleep Inn near Interstate 95 on April 9. Family members say they were last in contact with her on April 10, and said she was in good spirits. The family says she was pursuing a modeling career.
Sherman is the mother of a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old. She is from Atglen, about 55 miles (88 km) west of Philadelphia.
Officers found Sherman’s belongings in the hotel room. Police say Sherman was driving a 2005 Volkswagen Touraeg with a Pennsylvania license plate.
Wilson police are working with the Pennsylvania State Police in the case.

2012 VW Touraeg - pitfalls? via /r/dubai
2012 VW Touraeg - pitfalls?
Just decided on a VW Touraeg (2012 / GCC Spec / 115kms / FSH Al Naboodah / 1 expat owner from new)
I had a VW Passat estate in the UK and it drove extremely well, even though I'd clocked 135k miles as the 3rd owner - a proper motor!
I looked a Prado's but in the 65k price range the spec was too low or the cars too old (2009/10)
Any Touraeg owners shed some light on potential pitfalls with high-kms? Are there any out-of-warranty, high-cost potential repairs that are common with the car in this climate?
Any pointers appreciated...I'm a first time cash-buyer and I don't want to end up regretting my decision!
