Moving into the cabin, the second-generation Atlas showcases significant upgrades in interior quality, equipment, and materials, as well as a more modern, elegant design. Real wood décor graces the cockpit, along with 10-color ambient lighting.

Paddle shifters on the steering wheel for Tiptronic® manual gear selection are standard on all Atlas models.

The Atlas SE model is fitted with Volkswagen’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro configurable gauge cluster and a 12.9-inch central infotainment display. The new Driver Experience Dial on the center console lets you easily adjust volume, drive modes, and the Atmospheres feature. This combines the ambient light and audio settings to enable occupants to tailor the vehicle’s mood to their preferences. Up to five preset Atmospheres are available, as well as a custom selection.
