The design is inspired by the Atlas Basecamp concept from way back in 2019, but VW didn't add any more off-road capability to the three-row SUV.
Inside, the Atlas's cabin gets a few tweaks for Peak Edition service. Black faux-leather upholstery is contrasted with gray accents and orange stitching and the Atlas's cool backlit dashboard lights up to reveal Peak Edition branding. On the SUV's steering wheel, the same Peak Edition badging from the exterior makes an appearance on the lower spoke.Unlike the standard Atlas three-row, the Peak Edition model will offer all-wheel drive as standard.
The differences end there, though, and you won't find any mechanical changes intended to give the SUV any additional off-road capability. Like all other 2024 Atlas models, the Peak Edition is powered by a 269-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine which is hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission.When it goes on sale later this year, the Atlas Peak Edition will join a large number of three-row SUVs targeting families with an outdoorsy lifestyle.
