A Base VW Atlas Costs $40,000, A Reminder Of How Expensive New Cars Have Become-January 2024

2024 Volkswagen Atals Lineup

New cars continue to get more expensive. With the average price , if you’re in the market, you probably think you can’t catch a break. If you’re in the market for a large crossover with room for you and your family from Volkswagen, you’re going to have to open your wallet a bit more for 2024. VW has pricing for the updated 2024 Atlas and Atlas CrossSport and pricing is up $2,630 over 2023 models.

Including $1,350 for destination, a base Atlas now costs $925 off $40,000 ($39,075) while the sporty yet compromised looks of the Atlas CrossSport will set you back $38,065.

2024 Volkswagen Atlas

For 2024 both Atlas variants get updated styling, and while pricing has risen, VW has made sure to throw in new features, both optional and standard for buyers. Base SE trims come standard with features like an in vehicle wifi hotspot, six USB-C ports, LED headlights, a heated steering wheel and heated and cooled front seats.

While the rest of the trim lineup of SEL and SEL Premium remain largely the same, the big news is the addition of an outdoorsy Peak Edition trim and a new engine. If you were still hoping for V6 power with your Atlas, you’re going to have to go used. Turbo four power is standard across every trim of the Atlas. The 2.0-liter direct injected, turbocharged engine puts out 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. That gets paired with an eight speed automatic transmission and buyers choice of front or 4Motion all wheel drive.

2024 Volkswagen Atlas Peak Edition

For those that want a bit of a rugged outdoors feel with their Atlas, you can choose the new Peak Edition. Only available on the regular Atlas (CrossSport gets more sporty R-Line trims), for $47,905 for the Peak Edition SE with tech package or $51,785 for the Peak Edition SEL, you get standard 4Motion all wheel drive, 18-inch wheels with all terrain tires, whats described as “silver underbody cladding” which I assume is there to look like skidplates, black exterior details and “Peak Edition’’ exterior badging. That’s all in addition to things like unique interior color choices, a panoramic roof, and ambient interior lighting.

If you feel comfortable enough with interest rates right now and are interested in picking one of these up, VW says the updated Atlas and Atlas CrossSport will hit dealers in Q3 of this year.

At $3,800, Could This 1994 Lincoln Continental Be A True Executive Perk?
Today’s Continental represents one of the last gasps of traditional American automotive luxury. That may make it an oddity today, but with a solid presentation and that old school kitsch, perhaps its asking price will overcome the odds of being too old-school for 2020 shoppers. Before we take a...

At $6,900, Would You Make A Pass At This 2000 VW Passat 4Motion Wagon?
Today’s Passat 4Motion has done less than 2,000 miles a year over the course of its life. Let’s see if that makes it worth digging into your life’s savings to buy it. If you think about Lincoln these days, you probably picture one of its surprisingly competent SUVs or...

Someone Help Me Figure Out What The Hell Is Going On With This Swiss Camaro
When it comes to things I think of as “,” I’d have to say Chevy Camaros are pretty down low on the list, between nachos and Kabuki theater. That may be why o fascinating: first, it’s in Switzerland, and B., it’s so very strangely customized that I’m genuinely baffled....
