This 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Comfortline is a good family SUV for someone who needs real passenger space but still wants something comfortable and easy to drive. Finished in White with a Black interior, it gives you three rows of seating along with 4MOTION all-wheel drive for year-round use.
This one is powered by Volkswagen's 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder TSI engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The turbo gives you good power for everyday driving and highway passing while being a smaller, more fuel-friendly option than the V6. With 4MOTION AWD, you've also got some extra confidence when the roads get snowy or slippery.
The Comfortline trim comes nicely equipped with leatherette seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, power driver's seat, remote start, keyless access with push-button start, three-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, and a power liftgate. The panoramic sunroof is another nice feature and really opens up the cabin, especially when you've got passengers sitting in the back.
There's also a good amount of safety equipment, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Assist, parking sensors, and a backup camera. On a family SUV this size, the camera and parking sensors are definitely useful around town.
Where the Atlas really does well is space. The third row is useful when you need the extra seats, and when you don't, it folds down to give you a big cargo area. There's lots of room for hockey bags, groceries, luggage, camping gear, or whatever the family needs to bring along.
With the 2.0L turbo, 4MOTION AWD, three-row seating, this Atlas gives you plenty of family-friendly features without needing to step up to the larger engine or top trim.
