If your family nurtures the passion for frequent weekend getaways, you need an ideal vehicle that will hold all the people with comfort while having enough space at the rear side to dump their stuff, while keeping them easily accessible. The segment of Crossover SUVs is ideally meant for this job, and there are more than plenty to choose from, since this vehicle type has surpassed every other kind in popularity.
To help you pick one that will really address all the requirements you can think of as a travel-loving family, we are briefing you the basic advantages of driving a 2019 VW Atlas, that prioritizes space over pace, and thus falls under the few must-see vehicles that are made keeping in mind the ideal car for families.
A Spacious Cabin
At the Riverside Volkswagen dealership, we found the 2019 Atlas from Volkswagen offering seats for seven adult passengers under a single spacious roof of this luxury crossover SUV. Hence the interior cabin of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas makes sure of one thing that there is plenty of room for everyone with all their belongings. While you can use the second-row pretty well for the adult passengers, Volkswagen gives you the option to fit in captain’s chairs to that row on almost every trim.
Volkswagen has its intentions clear with the making of the 2019 Atlas. It is entirely aimed at making the family trips a success. The entire cabin of the 2019 Atlas is laid out to make accessibility to every corner a breeze. If you want to use the food parcel kept at the cargo, you can get it with ease without stopping the car. Thanks to the slide-forward feature applied to the second row that was so strategically correct. The third row of the 2019 Atlas allows decent foot room to accommodate the adult passengers while hauling the luggage behind.
Cargo Hauling Space
Keeping the third row in use, the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas offers 20.6 cubic feet of space to haul your luggage. The third-row seats can be folded flat, to extend that space to 55.5 cubes, while folding down both the second and third rows will open the cargo capacity of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas to a gigantic 97 cubic feet.
Engine Capacities
Stretched in S, SE, and SEL trim levels, we observed the 2019 year lineup of the Volkswagen Atlas at the VW dealer Riverside showroom, that they get the power of a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine to run the show. The base engine is configured as front-wheel drive with this powertrain, while a stronger option making 276-horsepower from its 3.6-liter V-6 engine is made available either as front- or as all-wheel drive. For this power plant an 8-speed automatic transmission is issued to shuttle the right amount of power to the wheels irrespective of what is loaded under its hood.
Onboard Safety
Whenever you take your family out on a road trip the first thing you will be concerned about is the safety aspect. In that respect all the 2019 versions of VW Atlas now include safety features like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitors, that were previously optional. This rounds up the conversation on the matter if the 2019 Volkswagen will make an ideal family getaway, and we all would agree to the point in affirmative.
