The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Redesign: What Current Atlas Leaseholders Need to Know

If you leased a Volkswagen Atlas in 2020 or 2021, you're about to face a decision: return your lease or buy it back. While your current Atlas may have served you well, the newly redesigned 2024 model brings an array of features worth considering. Here's a straightforward look at what the 2024 Atlas has to offer.

1. Enhanced Performance

The 2024 Atlas comes equipped with an upgraded 2.0L turbo engine, providing a similar power to the outgoing VR6, but with more torque. This boost, available over a broader rev range, promises enhanced drivability and quicker acceleration. Moreover, this new engine is anticipated to offer improved fuel economy. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, the 2024 Atlas is built for both power and efficiency.

2. A Classier Experience Inside and Out

When you step into the 2024 Atlas, you'll immediately notice a more upscale ambiance. Premium materials are now standard, including a leatherette-trimmed soft-touch dash and center console. The flowing front-row door trim integrates seamlessly with the dash panel, creating an elegant cockpit feel that extends to the second row. An available ambient lighting system offers 30 color choices, and innovative backlit dash décor proudly displays the model’s name.

For those who appreciate the finer things, top-of-the-range models now feature quilted leather seats with a distinct diamond stitch pattern.

3. Elevated Comfort Features

Driving comfort has been given a front seat in the 2024 Atlas. Enjoy the warmth of a heated steering wheel, the convenience of shift paddles, ventilated front seats, and a now-standard height-adjustable passenger seat. The three-zone Climatronic automatic climate control ensures everyone travels in comfort. And for added utility, the redesigned center console now includes a storage cubby beneath.

4. Introducing the Peak Edition

For those looking for a unique touch, the 2024 Atlas lineup introduces the Peak Edition trim. This version sports unique interior and exterior details, such as body cladding elements, distinctive wheels, all-terrain tires, and blackout exterior details. The signature interior design sets the Peak Edition apart, ensuring your Atlas isn’t just another SUV on the road.

5. Model Varieties

The 2024 Atlas offers four trim levels, with the new Peak Edition being a notable addition. For those considering the sportier Atlas Cross Sport, you'll have three trim levels to choose from.

While the Volkswagen Atlas you leased a few years ago has been a trusted companion, the redesigned 2024 model offers a combination of power, luxury, and features that may make upgrading a tempting proposition. Whether you're looking for more torque, an upscale interior, or simply the latest in auto design and technology, the 2024 Atlas is worth a closer look.
