The New 2026 VW Atlas

The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas redesign is minimal – it's perhaps not fair to use the word. The car is largely unchanged from 2025 because of its recent refresh. The 2024 redesign brought significant changes: It slimmed down the engine options to one potent powertrain, infused the exterior with a new look, and added new standard and available amenities.

The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas trims are as follows:

• 2026 VW Atlas SE
• 2026 VW Atlas SE with Technology
• 2026 VW Atlas Peak Edition
• 2026 VW Atlas SEL
• 2026 VW Atlas SEL Premium R-Line

Fans of the 2024 redesign will be relieved to hear that the Volkswagen Atlas 2026 release only brings minor revisions to our new Atlas inventory. The most notable shift is the addition of HomeLink® technology to the Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror on SE with Technology models and higher trim levels.

Additionally, the 2026 Atlas saw a slight increase in its EPA fuel economy ratings for both standard front-wheel drive and available 4MOTION all-wheel drive. With FWD, you can expect up to an EPA-estimated 20/27/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹ Opting for AWD gives you improved traction while still returning up to an EPA-estimated 20/26/22 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).²

Some of the key standard components of the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas specs include the following:

• 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that makes 269 horsepower
• Wireless charging
• 3-zone automatic climate control
• Heated steering wheel
• 12-inch floating display
• Digital Cockpit Pro
• IQ.DRIVE
• Heated and ventilated front seats

Amenities like leather seating surfaces, massaging front seats, a Harman Kardon® audio system, and multicolor adjustable ambient lighting are added in higher trims.
