Great Review. Been waiting for you to do this one, because I was interested in this. And I agree that the only GHighlander that is comparable in price is the hybrid version, but for the price you pay, you lose out on a lot of features from the G Highlander, but for the same price this one is fully loaded. Also, the other point I want to say or rather ask is that would you actually be able to put 3 adults in the 3rd row of any mid-size SUV You could say 3 kids, but then they would have to be kids that are big enough to avoid car seats but not too big to be adults. It's better to have 2 good seats than 3 cramped seats IMHO. Definitely more family friendly than most others and I agree with you, this has seriously good looks, both interior and exterior.

This is my 2nd favorite 3 row crossover currently in the market, which strikes a perfect balance of design, utility, and features.
Even if you were to look up market at vehicles like the BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade, Audi SQ7, etc you will have a difficult time justifying the premium on said vehicles.
My favorite even now is the Hyundai Palisade. Pound per pound, I think the Hyundai edges out the Atlas. But I would prefer the powertrain of the Atlas over the one you find in the Palisade/Telluride.

Thanks Alex! The like on the video is for you! as you always do a phenomenal job with info about cars but when it comes to VW. could care less as they have been sucking at building cars for quite some time now. they should be right up there with Ford, Chevy, Jeep reliability. haven't check CR but im sure, it's not stellar.

IMO, i'd say go for the Grand Cherokee L before they discontinue the V8 for that model, although that may be more expensive than the rest of the competition. Or the Explorer with the twin turbo V6. Because the fuel economy of this is on par with most SUVs with a V8. You might as well get the larger engine.

Own a 24 SEL and it’s a really nice car. Reliability TBD but the car itself is great for the price.
Wish it was a hybrid but ventilated seats standard are hard to beat. Also TBD on the engine over time but for now it’s great. No complaints.
The touch controls are a non issue.

Never buy VW because of diesel gate, nothing but cheating, lying filth. As part of the penalty they were forced to invest in EV infrastructure with Electrify America. Their charges are the worst. So bad that we the tax payers had to bail them out, so we paid for them to be fixed. FUVW!

No idea what VW is thinking with the touchscreen controls for HVAC. My 2019 Jetta strikes the perfect balance: Plenty of functions on the touch screen but some nice knobs and buttons to control most basic HVAC. It works perfectly.

Bring back pre-Americanization VW.
2nd refresh of this model. Is it better than before Sure, but thats only because the previous one had a horribly cheap interior. Now they dressed it up with that hideous front and rear LED lighbar.

269-hp seems just low for its size on paper whether it's actually adequate or not.
Why not put the outgoing Arteon's 300-hp engine in the Atlas Then again, I really don't expect to see any good decision making by VW at this point.

Before I decided for the Explorer I decided against the Atlas because of the seat trim, engines and poor mpg. I would still not buy it for the mpg and the updated engine doesn’t convince me.

Alex, The Atlas makes me shrug. Its 18 mpg figure would not be out of place for a body-on-frame SUV. If you can get one, the Grand Highlander Hybrid wins by a mile and 15 mpg.

That 2. 0 turbo does not look right sitting in that engine bay. They should have kept the smooth VR6 and maybe just updated it a bit.

I wouldnt mind this car but New touch climate controls are a deal killer. And now I found out that they don't light up Wow.

It may be the family friendliest, but not the driver friendliest thanks to VW's fascination with touch controls, no thanks.
