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

Strewn like Charlie Sheen's myriad coital conquests, the globe is filled with cars we in the states never get. Today's E100 Corolla is one of those that miraculously now happens to be available. Will its price however, turn off even Charlie? Have you ever seen the Aurora Borealis in person?...

So, do you like the new Stingray? Or, do you miss round tail lights and the rest of the marque's classic lexicon? Well, if you do, today's '68 drop top should push all the right buttons, even if its price is Mako break it. Consider for a moment yesterday's -...

Detroit is the most American of car shows, but one American car company that sadly won't be there is American Motors. To make up for that, today's AMC Rambler has plenty to show, but will its price make you want to ramble on? Toyota's bringing to Detroit a concept car...

For $13,500, Is This Corolla A Trueno Romance?
Today's AE86 is proof positive that the Toyota Corolla hasn't always been as dull as a kiss from your sister, but will this one's price dull your ardor? Let's break down yesterday's by the numbers - 5.0 engine; about 1,850 lbs, providing something like 8 lbs per pony to drag...

For $5,200, Does This Old E30 Two Door Have You Feeling Blue?
As of this year's Detroit Auto Show the 3-series coupe is effectively no more in the US. Today's E30 represents one of the most beloved 3-series coupes, but is its price a coup de grâce? Holy cat sqeezin' Jebus, the vote on yesterday's old school couldn't have been closer. In...

Today's London Cab looks to be in fare condition, but will its price have you wanting to keep the meter running? They say a hard man is good to find - or at least the dyslexics do. Conversely, a good AE86 is seeming hard to find, and yesterday's apparently proved...
