Lafayette Volkswagens: How Far Can You Go in a VW Atlas?

Dec 15, 2017

An atlas is a book of maps. What better way to begin an adventure than with a book of maps that can show you where to go and what to expect? But it won’t be much of an adventure if you can’t adequately and comfortably fit all that you need, and you spend more time filling up with gas then you do on the road. This is where Volkswagen’s aptly named Atlas comes in. Whether you are carpooling or hitting the road for a trip, the Atlas offers plenty of room and new performance technology that keeps you on the road and away from the gas pump.

The new Volkswagen Atlas features a 2.0 liter 16V turbocharged/intercooled engine, providing 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine provides the power and confidence you need without compromising the comfort and fuel economy you want.

So how far can you drive an Atlas in one fell swoop? The Atlas gets an estimated 26 mpg on the highway. Combine this performance with an 18.6 gallon fuel tank, and you can get close to 500 miles in between fuel stops. Of course there a lot of variables when it comes to range like driving habits, and weather and road conditions.

This new option from Volkswagen offers the same German engineering and safety that you’ve come to expect; now you also get the cargo and seating space along with power and efficiency to take your next road trip to the next level.
