Volkswagen Atlas Engines and Transmissions

The Volkswagen Atlas engine lineup centers on two gasoline options paired with a smooth automatic transmission. Most drivers will find the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder lively enough for daily commuting, especially when equipped with all-wheel drive for confident traction. For those needing extra muscle or towing capacity, the 3.6-liter V6 is a strong alternative—offered with either front-wheel drive for efficiency or all-wheel drive for all-weather grip.
