SEMA News sources have shared new images of the '26 Volkswagen Atlas, revealing that the next generation of the crossover SUV will remain internal-combustion-powered.
Although it is unclear if the new model will hit dealerships in 2025 or 2026, the new Atlas is reported to be powered by a turbocharged 2.0L engine that produces 269 hp and delivers power through an eight-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel or four-wheel drive.
While the exterior updates are modest, VW has gone digital on the inside with a new 10.3-in. driver display and a 12.0-in. center touchscreen. Wireless phone charging, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and VW's suite of IQ.Drive driver-assist technologies are all standard and will continue into the next generation, according to insiders.
