What We Know About the New Volkswagen Atlas Exterior
The new Volkswagen Atlas will certainly stand out on the roads and highways in Coconut Creek, FL, and beyond. Outside, its boxy design sports refined lines that still imbue it with a sleek demeanor. We do not yet have any measurements for the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas, but we can speculate about its dimensions.
The current model is 200.7 inches long, 78.3 inches wide (88.5 inches with the mirrors), and 70.4 inches tall. Since the new version is described as having an "upright stance" by the Volkswagen team, we suspect the 2027 iteration may be slightly taller than the outgoing one. That said, we do not expect large changes from these measurements for the 2027 VW Atlas.
What we do know is that the new Volkswagen Atlas has new lights on the front and back. Their design is quite appealing, with at least some models featuring wraparound lighting on both sides. As the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas release date approaches, we expect to learn more details about this model, including available wheel sizes, colors, and other aspects of the redesigned Volkswagen Atlas exterior.
Learn More About the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Interior
While there is plenty left to discover about the new Volkswagen Atlas cabin, we do know that this vehicle promises next-generation comforts to its inhabitants. The SUV will come standard with soft-touch interior materials and stunning backlit detailing. You can also opt for available wood interior decor for a touch of nature inside the cabin.
Every model will have heated front seats, which are also a standard feature on every new Volkswagen Atlas from the 2026 lineup. The ultra-ergonomic front seats can also be equipped with a massage function and, we suspect, ventilation for warm days here in Coconut Creek, FL.
The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas is also expected to come with dual wireless charging capabilities, an AI assistant with natural voice control features (instead of a small list of approved phrases), and ambient interior lighting. Plus, we know that every new Volkswagen Atlas will come with the IQ.DRIVE suite of technologies and advancements, including a new front airbag that provides additional protection in case of an accident.
The Robust New Volkswagen Atlas Specs
While the 2027 VW Atlas will come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, just like the outgoing model, this version has been upgraded. It will produce 282 horsepower, a 13-horsepower increase over the current configuration. While we don't yet know the projected 2027 torque rating, it's either similar to or projected to be improved beyond the 2026 model's 273 pound-feet.
We expect the new Volkswagen Atlas to be available with front-wheel and all-wheel drive, just like the current version. It's also hard to imagine any reduction in towing capacity, which comes in at a striking 5,000 pounds (when properly equipped) for the 2026 iteration. Assuming this figure either stays the same or increases, you'll be able to use the 2027 Atlas to tow a small boat, a trailer, a pair of Jet Skis, or a quartet of dirt bikes, among other fun toys that you can bring to the trails or ocean.
Volkswagen has not yet published gas mileage estimates for this automobile, but we suspect that it will improve upon, or at least match, the ratings for the current Atlas. The 2026 iteration scores up to an EPA-estimated 20/27/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).2
