With its spacious accommodations, versatile cargo space, and abundance of standard and available amenities, the Volkswagen Atlas is among the most compelling options in the midsize crossover segment; especial when you consider its roomy third row. While many class competitors offer back seats so small you wonder why they exist in the first place, Atlas' third row is more than suitable even for adults.

For the 2021 model year, Atlas gets a mid-cycle refresh that sees updates to the SUV's style, accommodations, and performance. Here's a quick looking at some of the highlights.

  • New Style: Generally, year-to-year styling updates are incremental, with major changes reserved for new generations. The 2021 Atlas breaks from tradition with a significant front-end refresh that brings it in-line with the Atlas Cross Sport's bold executive aesthetic. Upfront, the 2021 Atlas features a prominent three-bar chrome grille, revised bumpers, and dynamic LED headlight clusters with sleeker daytime running lights.

  • Updated Interior: To match its upgraded exterior, the 2021 Atlas refreshes its cabin with a new steering wheel and updated accent stitching. The Atlas is also three inches longer, giving it even more rear legroom. Already one of the most spacious options in the segment, the 2021 Atlas distinguishes itself from other midsize crossovers with a roomy third row that comfortably accommodates even adult-sized riders.

  • Wider All-Wheel-Drive Availability: In previous years, the Atlas offered all-wheel drive as an option for V-6 models. For the 2021 model year, Alexandria VA can get AWD with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine as well.
