Almost $50,000 and VW couldn’t throw in some $40 LED turn signals? Come on VW, it’s 2021! It seriously cheapens the look of an otherwise very nice looking vehicle.
Especially considering the pre-refresh model had LED front turn signals, what a downgrade.
Yea I mean how much more do LED turn signals cost?
what a let down
Look up the crash test and you'll see where all the money is going....keeping you alive
Absolutely ridiculous! I was gonna buy this until I saw that! Honestly, such a let down.
Great video guys!
Other than the strangeness of faux *dual* exhausts, nice looking SUV! Like the interior space as well. Nice to see you doing a review without snowpack & ice underfoot - spring is coming! Great review as always, guys!
Yes, the Spring weather is a great relief! Have a great week, John!
Aren’t they quad exhaust since there is 4?
@Joseph Payton oh that’s right! Thanks JP!
Awesome Review Bro, Also This Is Actually My Dream SUV To My List Of My Vehicles 😎😎😎😎🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I really love the new 2021.5, I like the new design at the interior. Have a great day!
The interior really hasn’t changed. Just some new pattern of stitching on the door inserts.
The Atlas is an amazing conundrum. It has the room of a near full-size, but the interior environment is pretty austere. The full LED tail lamps wouldn't be out of place on an Audi, but they put halogens on the front(drives my OCD up the wall!. They literally could've put switchbacks on the DRLs like most other manufacturers). The guages and infotainment are tops in the class(for now until the JGC comes out), but let down by a sea of plastics and a sound system that belongs in a base Golf. I'm not bagging on the vehicle because I do believe it is a better by than the Audi Q7, but this class is quickly heated up on the luxury and even the SEL Premium won't fix many of the Atlas' shortcomings.
The front isn’t Halogens. The presenter said all lights were LED except turn signals are incandescent
I like austere cabins. I have a 19’ Tiguan
Plastics are on all cars, everything can’t be leather. Plastics are down low. I have a 19’ Tiguan and the plastics are down low and easy to wipe off or dust. What other material are you expecting. I drove a new Audi E-Tron at the dealer a couple months ago and it had the same hard plastic on the lower portion of center portion also.
The boys said the stereo was better than they expected.
he was talking about the blinker, but I honestly don't mind those blinkers. I love the Atlas
This blue atlas is amazing great review on that
Got my eye on one in Racing Green 😍
How come my 2019 Atlas has led front turn signals and direction sensitive fog lights but the 2021.5 doesn't have it?
Could you tell me how to get 3D maps on your phone which you show on Atlas. Thanks.
When it comes to popularity in credit, Nothing would beat this one.
I love the 2021 VW Atlas, it’s very nice!! I love the blue! It has lots of space!
Very nice suv . Not a bad price . Wish it got better mileage . Thanks guys
We have the 2021.5 VW Atlas SEL. We love the ride, quiet interior, and the space. I will say that fuel economy is better than what is on the sticker. We are averaging 19-20 in the City and 24-25 on the Highway. FWIW.
Same here, I have 2021.5, and on a 500 mile trip, I averaged 26.0 mpg on the first half, and 25.7 on the return trip. 74 mph speed.
Absolutely love my Atlas Cross Sport sel premium!
With what engine do you have ?
@@jarodely9655 We have the V6. I have found that gradually stepping on the gas pedal instead of hitting it hard has a measurable effect on MPG.
@@jarodely9655 v6. The longer I have this car, the more I love it. I find it does everything my Jeep Wrangler did, except it does it better. Better gas, better ride, better gas mileage, higher towing capacity, and a heck of a lot more practical!
2.0t drove 200 miles after fill up tripometer reset. average 27.6 - 28. that's very very impressive!!!
the 2021 model looks so much better than the 2019 model...no offense to my aunt lol
Lmao she is going to remember that next time you try to get inside.
@@justinnegron4843 😂
How they barely changed anything but the grill.
@Joseph Payton oh yea I guess they did. My bad JP.
Beautiful...❤️
Can i update my 2019 sel premium infotainment system to one like in video ( wireless apple car play and android auto ) ? And wireless charger ?
Reminds me of the boxy square JETTA!!!
Howdy, great review as always y’all! This is one of the best mid size SUVs!😸
I love this newer one with a new grill 👍
Wow nice VW!!
How do you tell the difference between the 2021 and 2021.5?
When I test drove this, the steering wheel felt more like dimpled plastic rather than perforated leather. The top and bottom material felt more like leather than the dimpled sides. Anyone else have the same feeling?
I bought one and I don’t feel like that
You can tell a lot about a country by the cars they make
This... Is no exception
These are German cars sold in America. You can’t tell anything fuzz
@@2004cyrus ignoring the fact the Atlas is built in Tennessee, the car itself designed by VW is very Germanic, with many right angles and simple, effective design. Function with minimal form
Nice
i miss the times when most reviews were about sedans instead of SUV/CUVs
Exactly
@@yes8032 like honestly we live in a boring time right now. we need more sports cars/sedans and station wagons but people keep buying these lame ass SUV/CUVs that will never ever be used for their purposes either
@@zhila5958 exactly that’s why I only buy sedans and coupes and exciting stuff
@@yes8032 we need more people like you!
@@zhila5958 👍
I pick an atlas for our rental car it nice
Nice vehicle! Just wish that they would make the safety features and 360 degree camera
standard like Nissan does.
Does have 360 camera have to go to main menu
It’s funny this posted today as I was just at my local VW dealership. One huge miss for me is the steering wheel. While
The leather looks good but it feels horrible. It feels more like a vinyl plastic than leather.
That’s because many Volkswagen models use V-Tex Leatherette
I like it, but I worry about reliability.
Car Wizard says VW (though they do have issues) are really not worse than other cars, and they do well with fastidious maintenance.
That's why I haven't bought a VW since my last one almost 20yrs ago. It's scary when you're driving on the freeway and you car just stopped.
@@Fyahking619 Copy confirm that. An 88 Jetta GLI was my first and last VW-worst automotive purchase in my lifetime. However, my son bought a Cupra Ateca to drive in Europe, and that thing just blows me away. He has owned it two years and not even a CEL has appeared. I think VW is making a real effort, and that says something in today’s manufacturing environment.
Why? I have one and the warranty is long ! And it hasn’t broken 1 time in 2 years
@@2W3X4YZ5 yes in 1988. Fast forward 30 years and these things have improved. That story is so old it’s not relevant.
Please do a review on the Toyota Venza
Other channels have it. Redline Reviews, Raitis Rides, Alex on Autos to name a few.
He did Kash
Nice Hair Cuts Guys! Have you guys been taking Acting lessons? Speaking Slow, Clear, and taking breaks between sentences keeps Attention spans high and you guys nail it!
Wish we got this in Australia
This is my next suv for my grandchildren 😂
Manufacturers are so WeirdChamp. Why do they put led lights in one area but not the other
Just to save $40
Why are full LEDs not the norm inside/outside of the vehicle, really frustrating to see that. This isn't 1998.
Maybe on the smile meter the blank face should be at the bottom; like Mitsubishi Mirage slow because you can have a little fun with most of the vehicles currently rated "😐" /adequate power but not fast*.
New 'smile meter'? -- 😐😏🙃😁😆
yep i knew it
How vw goes full led in the rear but half ass in the front. And those rear tail pipe are no go.
It’s decoration not tailpipes.
This needs a interior redesign already but I like it although the toureag is better
Tuareg is gone long time ago so that comment isn’t relevant. To keep wishing for things we don’t have or comparing is a real waste of everyone’s time. This is what we have, and you like it or don’t like it and keep it moving.
@@2004cyrus tell me? How am I wasting people’s time???? these 2 cars are definitely comparable to each other just like Toyota has a land cruiser and highlander infact where I live we still have that car and we don’t have the atlas but I’m just saying so speak for yourself ffs
Brothers, expect a letter of disappointment from VW: Their 6cyl engine is a V"R"6, instead of a V6. I hear they cringe when it's mislabeled. 🤣
VW doesn’t care about that with this pair of presenters.
This is very plain Jane. Like it's just an appliance, the interior I feel is completely unacceptable at this price point.
Agreed. Seems like a vehicle designed by board members, not designers.
Nooooo!!! I want to like the Atlas so much! But I’m afraid I agree.
Palisade and telluride is so much better!
I agree with you man thinks😁👌
Screen size needs to grow about 2 inches and interior materials are really cheap.
Wanted to see the area for map lights…sigh
Recently drove 17-18 3-row SUVs, and the Atlas was EASILY the worst to drive. Thing floated like hell, felt like I was piloting a boat down the highway. As soon as I returned, I gave the salesman the key, gave him a “not interested,” and was on my way; that was the only cut-and-dry “nope” of my search. It’s too bad, because I like the look and the roominess, but the thing drove bigger than a Tahoe or Expedition.
CRAP I wish I hadn’t read this comment
Did you buy an Atlas, and not notice something wrong with it until now? 😂
@@robertzoch122 Ok. troll, thank you for your FAKE story
Nothing fake about it whatsoever. That was my experience.
@@robertzoch122 Stop lying, typical democrat😆
This car needs a major bump in power for the price !
No the power is totally adequate & appropriate these family haulers are made to be in the Fast & Furious movies. I have one. Let’s move on Horner
Two Words: Fake Exhaust!! Ugh!
That's 2.5 words.
This car sounds like a hyundai sonata n line
Lol
Fake tail pipes no fog lights and encondecent turn signal.. smh👎
The interior doesn’t wow me
Atlas at best is a BORING SUV.
#1 : Power - Definitely needs more power and torque to drive this huge vehicle ,
#2 : Interior is just PLAIN and boring #3 :Wind noise - passenger side lots of wind noise coming in at highway speeds #4 infotainment - Screen can be bigger? # 5 Opening trunk with foot - its horrible implementation - its more miss than hits.
Only area it excels is space and I love the squarish- boxy looks . Hopefully they fix some of these in future models .
Great review guys , but you need to be a good crtics and compare vehicles in same class . I feel you are always positive about every vehicle you review and honestly dont understand smile meter :) come-up with some type of relative score may be ?
Travel Assist is NOT hands free driving, it is semi autonomous hands on driving. It will keep you between the lines on the road but if you take your hands off the steering wheel, the system will prompt you to place your hands back on the wheel, if you do not, the car will think something has happened to you, turn on the hazard lights and slowly bring you to a stop in your lane.
I like it but not a fan of Volkswagen cheap inside and like all others overpriced. I will wait for the 21 3/4 to come out
3/4🤣🤣🤣 It is true the two V brands, VW and Volvo, will refresh every 6 months.🤣
You can't tow anything with the turbo4.....
Buy other vehicles for towing. Nobody tows with these ever
@@2004cyrus Actually there are LOTS of people that get this model for the towing capability... Dealership says the same thing. Huge difference in towing ability from 4 to 6. Do your homework or don't comment....... #MicDrop #NoMoreTimeLeftForPeanutGallery
@@christiana8820 you are totally WRONG. Salesman at a dealer will tell you anything Christian. And guess what, my family owns 54 dealer franchises. I drive an Atlas Cross Sport currently, I’m in touch with people and vehicles everyday. I don’t need research. I AM RESEARCH, buddy. I’ve been doing this sh*t since I was 12. I’ve been in the environment and I know exactly what owners do & don’t do with their cars. And guess what, the statistics show that people buy a gazillion more Dodge Durango’s and Chevy Tahoes and Jeep’s to tow. Not freaking Volkswagen Atlas. I haven’t seen 1 Atlas towing anything in my life yet. And I travel from our stores in Oklahoma & Texas all the way to Florida and the Carolinas. You think you are Mr Badass with your lame ass old hashtags. I have more knowledge in my pinkie and I know it like the back of my hand. Get outta here and eat a bag of dicks.
@@2004cyrus A whole bag? I mean that’s going too far...
Give it the palisade interior
Its just amazes me every time when i see interiors and reliability of a true german vw and this abomination of "design" not even talking about materials.
Who would buy this huge, heavy SUV with a 4 cylinder engine? Pulling all that weight the engine wouldn't last! Gas mileage suffers also.
That car look ugly Volvo is better
Xc90 looks better yes but toureag is better than both
@@yes8032 XC90 is way more comfortable.
Someone got a hair cut.
someone left a toddler in the back seat
The atlas is by far one of the worst mid sized three row suvs right now, it’s so cheap and outdated both interior end exterior it’s just not worth it, there’s no point in getting it when suvs like the palisade and telluride exist
telluride has a useless 3rd row
@@bizzybezz no it’s doesn’t, I am 6ft and can comfortable sit there, with enough space for the second and first row passengers
Might be worse in this year because of outdated looks but telluride continues to have recalls. So take your pick.
Interior is garbage
Yeah that motherfucking suv is damn annoying and shit poop all over the volkswagen atlsfs whatever the hell
That is cancelled that damn suv do it
Treat yourself to an Audi. Leave this vehicle on the showroom floor
Some people cant afford the 10-30k Jump from the atlas to a q7.
yes cause everyone can afford an audi lol
I never bought VW ， not in my life time。Big polluter 。
