New Volkswagen Atlas for Sale in San Diego
Volkswagen's flagship three-row family SUV combines genuine adult-sized third-row seating with one of the largest cargo holds in the segment. Built at VW's Chattanooga, Tennessee assembly plant, the Atlas seats up to seven passengers, tows up to 5,000 pounds, and pairs a 269-horsepower turbocharged engine with available 4Motion all-wheel drive. At Mossy Volkswagen in Escondido, we stock a full range of Atlas trims for San Diego County families. Schedule a test drive online or call 760-745-7551.
Why the Atlas Stands Out in the 3-Row SUV Segment
The Atlas was designed around how American families actually use a three-row SUV. The third row fits adults — not just kids — with 33.7 inches of legroom. The second row slides and tilts forward to make third-row access easy, even with a child seat installed.
Every Atlas comes loaded with features competitors reserve for higher trims. Heated AND ventilated front seats, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, three-zone Climatronic climate control, and the full IQ.DRIVE driver-assistance suite are all standard from the base SE.

Why Choose the Volkswagen Atlas
Class-Leading Interior Space
The Atlas's 96.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo space is among the largest in the midsize three-row segment. The third row offers 33.7 inches of legroom — genuinely adult-sized. Standard seating for seven, or six with optional second-row captain's chairs.
Standard Tech & Comfort From the Base Trim
Heated AND ventilated front seats, a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, three-zone Climatronic climate control, wireless device charging, and the full IQ.DRIVE driver-assistance suite all come standard on the entry-level SE.

Engine, Performance & 4Motion All-Wheel Drive
Every Atlas is powered by Volkswagen's 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder, producing 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through an 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic paddle shifters. You can choose front-wheel drive or available 4Motion all-wheel drive — standard on Peak Edition, SEL, and SEL Premium R-Line trims.
