2027 Volkswagen Atlas Preview
By Eric Brandt
Updated May 19, 2026
The family-friendly Volkswagen Atlas 3-row SUV enters an all-new generation for 2027 with a new look and updated tech.
The Volkswagen Atlas serves as the brand’s flagship SUV, designed specifically with North American tastes in mind. The Atlas enters an all-new generation with the redesigned 2027 model, with a whole new look while retaining its family-friendly virtues we love about it. The Atlas is one of the roomiest midsize 3-row SUVs on the market, making it a good choice for families who will actually use the third row every day. In addition to the aesthetic makeover, this new generation brings a revised turbo engine making 282 horsepower and updated tech that includes an available 15-inch infotainment display.
When will the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas come out?
The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas will hit North American dealerships in the fall of 2026. We expect pricing to start in the low-$40k range.
Volkswagen Atlas Pricing
The Volkswagen Atlas has historically been on the lower side of the pricing spectrum for midsize 3-row SUVs, and we expect that to continue with the redesigned 2027 model. We expect pricing to start in the low $40k range and go up to the upper-$50k range in the top trim.
