Volkswagen Atlas Trims: Drivetrain and Performance
Every Volkswagen Atlas trim comes equipped with the same engine: a 2.0L, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 269 horsepower, more than plenty for agility, pickup, and power getting on and cruising the highways around Texarkana. Depending on your trim, you’ll have access to different-sized wheels and either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, but we’ll dive into that below. When properly equipped, since they all share the same engine, all Volkswagen Atlas trims have a max towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.
