2027 Volkswagen Atlas Trim Comparison Chart

2027 Volkswagen Atlas SE

Returning as the entry-level trim, the Atlas SE makes "base model" take on a new, luxurious meaning. That all begins with a 282-horsepower engine under the hood, with either FWD or 4MOTION AWD for the drivetrain configuration; 2027 Volkswagen Atlas configurations with FWD deliver an EPA-estimated 22/29 MPG (City/Highway),¹ while every 2027 Atlas with 4MOTION AWD achieves an EPA-estimated 20/27 MPG (City/Highway).²

Features set the Atlas SE apart from the crowd of base-trim SUVs. The long list of standard features begins with heated and ventilated front seats upholstered with leatherette; 12-way power adjustability for the driver's seat takes the comfort further, while 10-color ambient interior lighting, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, a nine-speaker sound system, an Easy Open and Close power liftgate, and seven USB-C ports make the entire experience more premium and enjoyable.

2027 Volkswagen Atlas SE with Technology

The 2027 VW Atlas trim levels build on each other as you climb the lineup. As the second trim's name suggests, this rung involves adding more technology features to the already-well-equipped SE model. A larger 15-inch touchscreen greets you inside it, marking the first of many upgrades.

With the 10-color ambient interior lighting system gaining extended coverage (including for the footwells), the rearview mirror featuring HomeLink®, and the second row providing a 115-volt power outlet, the Atlas SE with Technology continues the climb to premium heights. Illuminated exterior logos, 20-inch wheels, and enhanced keyless access with this second tier mean that the summit is quite high.

2027 Volkswagen Atlas SEL R-Line

The SEL R-Line trim marks a noticeable change in the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas configurations: Rather than coming standard with FWD, the SEL R-Line gives you road-gripping 4MOTION AWD right from the start. Alongside improved traction, many luxuries grace the Atlas SEL R-Line, such as Varenna leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof for the cabin.

More standard upgrades await, including heated and ventilated second-row seats, 30-color ambient interior lighting, sporty R-Line exterior and interior design elements, memory functions for the driver's seat and side mirrors, and 12-way power adjustability for the front passenger's seat.

2027 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line

The pinnacle of the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas trim levels takes everything we've touched upon so far and makes it even better. Whether you focus on the exquisite Nappa leather upholstery or the imposing 21-inch wheels, the Atlas SEL Premium R-Line is truly top of the line, made even more evident by the VW logo puddle lights that'll greet you every time you approach your Atlas.

Systems like Park Assist Plus and an Area View Camera also make it convenient. With massaging front seats bolstering your on-road comfort and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon® premium sound system enhancing your audio along the way, the Atlas SEL Premium R-Line is a true luxury SUV.
