If you're looking for your next family cruiser, check out the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas here at Byers Volkswagen in Columbus, OH. The most common reason for buying a 3-row SUV is the ample space and versatility. But there's so much more to discover with the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, which is a Top Safety Pick from IIHS for 2024, bringing extra peace of mind to your driving experience. With seating for up to 7 passengers and abundant room for shopping bags, luggage, and sports equipment, it's perfect for taking your family on weekend trips, or just cruising around town for errands and after-school sporting events. The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas was awarded a 5-star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA, confirming its role as a top pick as a family friendly, and safety conscious, vehicle. While we wholeheartedly believe in the performance of the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, we also want to take a moment and show you how it stacks up to the competition. Below, we compare the Atlas to the 2024 Subaru Ascent, a competing 3-row SUV, so you can take a deep dive into the specs and features of both vehicles. Whenever you're ready to take it a step further, don't hesitate to reach out and contact us to schedule a test drive here at Byers Volkswagen in Columbus, Ohio.
Both the 2024 Atlas and 2024 Ascent have much to offer in their design, from the standard 18-inch alloy wheels, both with options to upgrade to 20-inch, and the wide range of color choices. But only the Atlas has bold colors like Aurora Red Chrome and the premium Avocado Green. To help improve visibility, the Atlas offers poor weather lights to help shine through those rough rainy days, a feature not found on the Ascent. The Atlas also offers rain sensing wipers as standard on all models, which is only available on the Ascent. Both of these SUVs offer a power rear liftgate, but only the Atlas is hands-free with their Easy-Open feature. A power panoramic sunroof is also available for higher trim levels of both SUVs.
The passenger volume is so close, you can almost miss the difference between the 2024 Atlas and the 2024 Ascent, but the cargo volume begs to differ. With the second and third rows folded down, the Atlas offers 96.6 cubic feet of cargo space, whereas the Ascent only has 75.6 cubic feet available. The Atlas also comes standard with a heated steering wheel as well as heated and ventilated front seats, while the Ascent only offers those features on higher trim levels. Both models offer available heated second row seats on select models. You'll find infotainment systems equipped with standard Bluetooth® connectivity plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for smooth access to your favorite audio apps on both the Atlas and the Ascent.
The 2024 Atlas has the new 2.0L TSI® 4-cylinder engine that boasts 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. As a front-wheel drive vehicle, it has an 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic®, but all-wheel drive is also an option with the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system. Feel the road as you embark on your next expedition in this high-performing SUV with improved traction and handling. The 2024 Ascent is equipped with a standard 2.4L turbocharged BOXER® engine, which provides 260 horsepower with 277 pound-feet of torque. Both vehicles can tow up to 5,000 lbs.
Both the 2024 Atlas and the 2024 Ascent take safety seriously, as both are equipped with a wide range of driver assist technology, including features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Traffic Alert, Emergency Braking, and Lane Centering, all of which are standard fare. While the Ascent offers standard LED steering responsive headlights, the Atlas headlight design has standard full LED lighting on both head- and tailights, with the front lights also equipped with low beam, high beams, and DayTime Running Lights. These lights offer more visibility for the driver as well as making you more visible to other drivers on the road.
