Everywhere I went folks told me “wow, that’s a big Volkswagen” and they are right, but it’s more than just a big VW. The new 2018 Atlas was designed specifically for North America and China (where it will be called the Volkswagen Teramont) with a strong focus on cargo capacity, passenger comfort and family friendliness. Thanks to a large third row, second row seats that tilt and slide when child seats are latched into place and the second largest cargo area in the segment, the Atlas is our top family pick. However because of middling fuel economy and some expensive options is narrowly missed being our top overall pick in the large 3-row CUV segment.
