For Atlas Owners, the 2027 Redesign Earns an Early Vote of Confidence

The Volkswagen Atlas starts its second generation with the 2027 model year, and the first verdict on the new model is a good one. Car and Driver has tested the redesigned Atlas and found the new generation a real step up, one that made the long lead-up pay off. Anyone who has kept a first-generation Atlas in the driveway, from Naples to Aspen, now has a favorable outside view of what replaces it. The full assessment belongs to the magazine that drove it, and for now the headline is simple: the new Atlas has arrived looking better than before.
