Volkswagen Atlas: Segment Standard?

The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas maintains its presence in the midsize three-row crossover segment, delivering a roomy interior, composed ride, and an excellent suite of technologies. Introduced in 2018 and overhauled in 2024, the current iteration starts in the low $40Ks and reaches the upper $50Ks. Volkswagen makes five grades available, delivering packaging options aligning with customer demand, all for a competitive price point.

New This Year: 2026

After its most recent major overhaul in 2024, the 2026 model remains largely a carryover. Its automatic dimming rearview technology mirror is now standard on the SE with Technology grade and all higher trim levels (Peak Edition, SEL, and SEL Premium R-Line). This feature enables drivers to control compatible smart-home devices like garage doors or lighting directly from the mirror.
